I have an appointment with my surgeon on Tuesday... I have been having horrible pain on my right side complete with symptoms of a gallbladder attack... I also know it is very common after Wls especially if you lost weight rapidly to have your gallbladder removed... Who had gone through this process and how soon after being banded? This may seem petty to some but also did you have to have your band emptied for this and for how long?

To directly answer your question... Yes junk food is a "slider" food....for me it does not matter if I eat crap or clean food if I don't eat it correctly I get stuck and I like it that way. I don't feel deprived from my old favorite food I just can't eat a lot and still have to eat correctly.

@msgal congrats on your approval!!!! Keep me posted!!!

Thank u everyone

Thanks Msgal... No the cheating is not often and I don't think I'm eating around my band but there are a few things I still can't give up and that's my coffee cream and m&ms lol but I am fortunate to be in the green zone this early on so my portions are small and I make good food choices more often than not... I would love to go vegan but its a lifestyle change that my husband is not on board with and a commitment like that would kind of require him to take on also...good luck with your surgery, the recovery wasn't to bad but the first 3-5 days does suck lol... When do you start your pre op diet?

Maddysgram is soooo right... Your first instinct is to wash it down and it only makes it worse... For me the pain of being stuck is so bad I feel like I'm going to pass out and walking during that is not an option for me

Dover , Delaware and I really think I'm the only one from Delaware

I was banded late April and doing ok with it but I do cheat. I live in Delaware and I don't know anyone with the band. I could use a band buddy to keep on track with.

My Dr was pretty laid back regarding post op diet... I was to slowly add solids back in after 1 week and if tolerated I was able to have a fill at my 2 week post op appt.

The shamrock is on my left calf for heritage and the little hearts did represent my kids at the time but since then we have 2 more so I was thinking of getting a whole new piece and the heart I got on my 21 st birthday and later added my husbands name to it it could use some touching up it has faded a lot.
