Im 8 weeks out. Im doing well. I started @ 307 now im 248. My eating habits have changed no doubt and I have cut out most of the things that got me obese in the first place. I work out every other day im a certified gym rat. If I miss a day of the gym I feel bad and I make up for it the next day. Ive been wanting fried chicken for a week or so now. The funny thing is after I eat it if I do, it may make my head hurt so bad that I may not ever want it again lol. What do you guys think. Will I turn into a gremlin after 12am after having a piece of fried chicken. Lol

I just ate some trader joes popcorn cooked in olive oil with a hint of salt. Was this a bad idea? I work out 4 times a week and have a physical job. Im 7 weeks post op. I think I deserve a little popcorn.

No desk job for me. Im @ home depot. I walk around the store so much I probably burn around 1000 calories in my 9 hours there. I pick up pallets move and pick up merchandise push cages and to top it all off I live in NYC. I dont own a car I walk take the subway or city bus. Im always on my feet. I think not having a desk job and living in the city gives me an advantage. I got to the gym 3 times a week. Thats just a bonus for me.

Im 6 weeks out ive been working out since my 4th week. Im going hard with cardio lifting light weights because I just wanna tone up not bulk up. But im scared to start situps or crunchys. Anyone doing situps yet?

I dont think triskits and chicken are soft foods.

Seems like more people have trouble with the band than success.

Shes right. You dont know her. She didnt say she drinks every day. Its a social event. She wants to have a couple of drinks. She has a right to. Some things should not be said.

Something is wrong. Im never hungry. I was sleeved on 3/26. I had my 2 week post op yesterday and I mentioned to my Dr that im worried about getting to few calories in during my puree and soft foods stages. She told me that would change. Ive heard stories on here that Drs didnt cut enough of the stomach. Get ultrasound check it out.

2 weeks. Yayyyyyy. I can puree foods. I think im going to just do proteins though. Any suggestions?

Im 9 days post op was feeling good until I got in a argument with someone over how much they spent on proten shakes. Now the side were my stiches are on the right hurts terribly. There is no leakage just a pulling sensation when I stand up. Ive been off my pain meds for a week. Might have to continue them. Has anyone else experienced this?

Goooood luck. We are with you

1 week post op also dont know how much ive lost (gonna wait until my 2week post op appointment) but I know ive lost alot I can see and feel it. My first 3 days where hell also but it get better from there. Im never hungry I just feel the need to chew. I even made dinner for my family and didn't take not one piece. Lol I satisfy my need to chew by eating ice and my sugar free fat free popsicles. You will be fine. The worst part and feeling is being awaken from surgery. Thats when your going to think ohh god what have I done. But it gets better.

@ the hospital they gave me a round silver sticker type patch to place behind my ear to stop the nausea after I complained about it. Some type nausea patch. Im sorry I dont know the name of it.

I noticed this morning that my belly button was deeper. I couldnt feel it like I was able to before the surgery. Ive always been an innie but now I cant feel the button like I could before im 5 days post op. Anyone else experience this?

Im 3 days out also. Gas x strips. I dont feel hungry. Hang in there. They say after one week we get significantly better. The hardest thing is trying to get liquids in. Im eating ice and trying to get down a protein shake that ive been working on since this morning. Hang in there hun. We got this.

Yes. The first few days are hell. The nausea the needles. I must have been stuck more than 100 times. Its getting alot better tho. Not gonna lie there was a couple times I thought "what have I done"? But im cool now. It gets easier everyday. I do not miss food tho. Actually smelling it makes me nauseous
