I know everyone is different and it varies but generally speaking about how many fills until you were in the green?

I had my surgery June 7 and I've lost 35 lbs total. But that's from may 22 til now. I am still hungry and just like the above post stated, right now it's just a diet. It is a real struggle right now, but I log my calories and exercise. But it is absolutely a conscious effort to eat healthy and not go out and blow it!!! Hang in there, they say the first 6 weeks is healing!!!

Yes, the carbs is not what I need. Like I said, I get to start introducing solids on Friday so I'm over it already. And I can them concentrate on protein and a larger variety of good! Thanks for all the replies! It's all so new!

Yea, I never had a meeting with a nutritionist. Thursday will be my first time. But the dr's office did give me a guideline and it just said anything I can up a straw. My plata toes have been pretty creamy, consistency of a thick milkshake, so that's what I've been going by. They say on day 15 I can start introducing solids. Like meatloaf, turkey chili, deli slices etc!!! It's just all so new to me and somedays I feel overwhelmed.

I will be two weeks post op Thursday. I've had mashed potatoes, I'm controlled portions, and I was just making sure I wasn't hurting anything! I never got a "list" of foods for each phase but I meet with my nutritionist this Thursday at my first post op visit!

How many days post op did everyone start eating mashed potatoes?

Gotcha! That's gonna be my problem too!

Wow! Sorry to hear you've had so much going on! Hang in there! Things are going to get better! Keep us posted!

Yes, please do!! Also when did you start mushy foods?

Ok so I'm sooo glad I'm not the only one. I was banded last Thursday and my left thigh and the bottom of my calves were and still are ridiculously sore! I thought it was from the surgery itself, but I'm curious to see If anyone else responds to this.

I'm thinking it's mostly in my head.

Thank you! I'm better this morning! It didn't help that my mother was cooking up a gourmet meal of meatloaf and all the trimmings!

I am HUNGRY! What's wrong with me? Is it psychological?

I am looking for some new Protein shakes. Any suggestions?

I tried to pm you twice and obviously neither of them went through?

Hey girlfriend!

I'm so glad to know someone else ideal weight is 170 lbs! My dr said between 160-180 that by body will know which is best! I'm getting my band the 5th. You are such an inspiration to people like me!!! Thanks for sharing. And CONGRATS! You go girl!!!!! ????????

Love the Bicycle! It's so cute and you look amazing! Keep up the good work!

I'm surprised too! And yes that'd be my advice to anyone having it done. Regardless if your doc orders it or not!! But in going to be just fine! Just a minor set back!

Oh my goodness autocorrect killed that last thread! I was saying I will private message you for sure! And yay!!!! The 6th is the beginning of a new you!!!!!

Yes let's please keep in touch! I will on you does sure. I'd love to have a friend to go through this with!

You being banded on the 6th puts us around the same time. I'll let you know exactly when he reschedules me!!!

Oh ok! I'm in a small town in arkansas! Helena , arkansas. Well good for you! And doing your Atkins. I think that's awesome. And you'll do amazing!

Please elaborate. You have a specific amount of weight you have to lose prior to surgery? I'm just curious. I am a self pay so this all literally happened within a month and half!!! And my doctor told me to do whatever works for me to stay at 1000 calories a day. And so far it's been a protein bar for breakfast, Lean cuisine, or smart ones for lunch and dinner. Sugar free Popsicles for snack. Baby carrots and radishes. Maybe a hard boiled egg! I've just been playing around. I've managed to keep it right though! Where are you from? Please share your journey so far with me!
