I joke with my mama telling her all the time...there's a stripper inside me just dying to get out !! Lol of course I'm only playing but I think she is concerned for me hahaha :-) will deff update y'all after surgery tomorrow !

Have you tried the Unjury cheese sauce? I saw it online yesterday and it made me curious!

I asked myself: "why are you eating, Penny, are you hungry?"
And the answer was a resounding: "NO"
So I put the food items away, and went to clean my bathrooms. Listening to my body feels so right.

Thanks! I just pasted that into a note for myself. Not sure what a Genie bra is -- going to have look that up. Does it come with three wishes?

Just got cleared for mushies 10 days out. Down 20lbs. Yay!!
Good luck, I had salmon tonight

Today is my post op appointment (6 days since surgery) and I know the doctor scales aren't ever the same as the ones I have at home so I decided to weigh in my bathroom on mine. 13lbs!!!! Holy crap!!! Motivation right there! I know weight loss will slow down eventually, but for now I have my party hat on!

13lbs down and I'm cleared for Mushies/purees, I'm Sooooo ready. Tonight is Tuna!! Yay!!

Excuse my typos, autocorrect has a mind of its own!

Hey!! You look relatively young! I'm 24 so its nice to see younger people on here I didn't have a pre-op diet because my surgeon doesn't believe it them haha so not too much info on that. Here is a rundown on my surgery expirience though!
I was banded on Sept 17th (5 days ago) and today I feel GREAT, just tired (see other posts haha)
I was on this site non stop the moment I got my surgery date. When they say everyone is different please believe it!
My surgery was a breeze, really. I was a mess with nerves but it all went smooth. I arrived at the hospital at 8:30 and was in surgery around 12:30. I woke up in recovery around 1:30-2:00 in pain due to gas but they still gave me pain meds and oxygen and I felt better. I was scheduled as outpatient but due to the pain meds they gave me they wanted to make sure I could get liquids down without vomiting so I ended up staying until 6:30PM.
5 days out I am fighting hunger A LOT being on liquids. At first I thought it might be "head hunger" which is a common term around here but I'm actually feeling hunger pains. I'm sipping Protein (By the way, Isopure mixed with crystal light is delicious!) and broths and it ususally goes away for a couple of hours but I can't wait to get some substance in my life! My post op is tomorrow and I'm hoping she adds a few things to the list. I'm feeling good about things but its different. I do notice I am feeling satisfied on either 1/2-1cup of liquids for a couple of hours at a time which is insane. My head has to catch up lol.
Good luck! The people on this forum are amazing!

Me exhausted guys! All I want to do is sleep. That can't be normal.
I'm taking the multi Vitamin, I'm hydrated, and I'm trying to get my Protein in with ease. Its been a little rough because nothing tastes good.
I'm not sure if I don't have enough nutrition in my body or if I'm possibly throwing a little pitty party because I'm starving and am craving something with substance. 5 days post op today.

Well I got laid off one week before my surgery but I was planning on two weeks. If I still had a job I would say I would be able to go back probly yesterday so 4 days. I'm still sore but its not unbearable. I heard the port incision can remain tender for up to a month.

Thank you all. I was having a moment. I am taking it one day at a time. I took a few sips of Water and my friend is coming over so we can go for a walk.

That gives me hope, I'm just fresh off the slice & dice table today .... Hoping this gets easier (I know it will). Cheers to us & our fresh bands!!!

Still kind of sore but OMG I feel sooooo much better. I'm able to kick the pain meds and use liquid Tylenol. I'm not gonna lie I'm ready for Mushies cuz I am starving!!!! I'm not cheating though.

Alpine Punch, Blue Raspberry, pineapple Orange banana, & Mango Peach. Raspberry was good but not delicious but MUCH better than anything I've tried so far.

I just went to GNC and got Isopure. LIFE CHANGER. Tastes like juice (slight after taste but totally worth it for getting in the protein!)
