gettinMeBack

I only threw up once while i was in the hosptial. Day 2 and it came back very quickly and somewhat without warning lol but haven't threw up since

Yes I didn't kno the big difference in the phases post op until I got to this app. My dr has me on full liquids for 4weeks, purée for 2weeks, and soft foods for 1week. After that I am to slowly introduce regular foods.

My nut okayed that for me cuz I cudnt handle broth

Oh and I'm still on full liquids

I'll be officially 4 weeks out this Friday. An today I feel like I'm able to get more food down. Definitely not much but still just a tad bit more. Anyone experience this?

I was told to stay away from things with seeds also but at 4 weeks I'm allowed to eat salsa

I have found that drinking thru a straw stops me from taking big gulps of water when I'm thirsty, especially since I love water!! Lol I'm still on the post op diet right now but I don't think I will be eating anymore heavy breads, sodas, or anything that is so heavy and filling that I can't get anything worthwhile down. My nut gave me a lot of recipes so I've been lookin into those for my foods right now.

Sounds good for a meal replacement

It's gettin do annoying..what are u all taking for this? If ur experiencing it

I'm finally on soft foods and didn't really eat eggs prior to surgery, so can y'all help me out wit some good recipes for our healthy diet?! Thanks ahead of time! ????

Oh and my hubby is also a football coach!! Lol so funny!!

Omg girl u look AMAZING!!! Congratulations!!! I started out at the same weight and I'm 5"1. Please tell me what did u do to work on ur stomach cuz that's where I have the most to lose. I'm 4weeks out and I'm now 205 so far, I havent weighed myself in a week and I started at 240. I hope my results are as good as ur urs cuz that's my goal weight 130-140

I took a full month off because my job is more hectic. A lot of standing and lifting, so I wud definitely not have been able to return after a week. I was so tired just walkin in a store so I kno I cudnt have made 12hrs in the hospital.

I work midnights also and I'm going back to work this Friday. I work the same shift 7p to 7a and I'll probably have the same problem. But I think I'll just eat before work but then make my last meal around 11 or 12 then after that just catch up in my liquids the rest of the night if I get hungry.

I'm just about 4 weeks out and wondering if any of u have tried a healthy cereal bar when on the go for a meal? I have some and wondering if that wud be a good food choice for us?

Ive heard of these and I was curious about what these seeds are and the flavor they have?

I work at the hospital ...and I have taken care of so many people that have had the lap band and have had so many problems afterwards with infection and various other things. I think they need to revise the way they do this procedure or at least the material that they use. I kno there have been some successful cases but the successful sleeves completely outweighed the successful lap bands I've seen.

Yes that does feel good! My parents told me every time they see me I've gotten smaller! Lol it feels so good!!!

I'm lookin forward to... Stepping out of the plus size clothing section at my fav store! Being able to shop anywhere and not saying "they don't have my size in here" Lookin down and seeing my feet and my kitty! And not just my stomach! Lol Sex without my stomach being in the way Wearing a belt Wearing high heels Puttin lotion on or tying my shoes without running out of breath Crossing my legs with ease Having a lap Wow I cud go on and on!! Lol

She's just jealous of ur courage to do something about ur weight and wishes deep down that she wud have done it before you!! I've already had friends that are smaller than me say they wish they cud get that surgery! Ignore ignorance and flaunt ur weightloss at work girl! Buy ur smaller scrubs or whatever u wear and show off the NEW YOU!!!

I had the same sharp pain but only mine was on the right side. But sometimes I have very sharp pain in my pelvic area. Has anyone experienced this?

I'm 3 1/2 weeks out and I'm all of a sudden obsessed with recipes and new meals for my family. But only thing I can honestly say I miss or even will miss is pizza and chilli cheese fries ! Lol which is why I got so big in the first place so I'll stay away. Besides I can't imagine eating any of that right now. I cud never finish it!
