Ms.Toya

I was banded January 16 and it has been a true ride. Takin the good days with the bad! Since surgery I am down 70lbs. I am excited and discouraged all at the same time cause I know I could do better. But congratulations to everyone and keep up the good work.

I was banded jan 16 and my first drink (vodka and juice) made my stomach burn. Even now sometimes liquor makes my stomach burn. I am also a light weight now. Before it took me 4 or 5 drinks to get drunk.. well I had a house party and I was drunk off two cups. and I mean tore up drunk.. but just becareful cause it may just hit you all at once

Man I thougth I was the only one that did not feel anything.. and my doctor put in 3cc.. ( i dont know how big my band is though).. I feel hungry faster now than I did before the fill.. It sucks

I just went for my 1st check up and I feel a lil better because i have lost 14lbs since surgery day.

i dont know Wheetsin. I dont think I have a problem with quanity because I dont eat as much as I use too but I still feel like i am eating to much. I get full fast but I also get hungry fast after a meal. 1 week out and I had soup for the first 3 or 4 days. But like yesterday for example I had 3 lil chicken drumettes and like 1 or 2 tablespoons of green beans, a protien shake, and for dinner I had a chicken wing and a couple forks of green beans. during the day i got hunger so I snacked on the green beans. But I dont know I just feel like I am eating to much, I am not even soppuse to be eating solids according to the book my dr. gave me.

Okay here is a moment of honesty. Is there anyone out there that did not follow the diet exactly after surgery? I haven’t been following my post op diet the best, and everyone one else on here is like oh I’m day 11 doing the mushies like my doctors said. And I put this in the blender and this in the blender and me on the other hand I used my new food processor once and that was the time I got sick. So yea is there anyone else out that’s having problems sticking to the post op diet?:biggrin:

also there is a vitamin called "biotion" that prevents hairloss. That is what my dietician told me. Get the 500 mg pills (not the 5,000 mg capsulles I got by mistake the first time)

Hi everyone. I was banded on the 16. I am on the mushies right now but I am craving something sweet. Sweets and starch has always been my downfall. I am doing okay as far as starches go... But oh my gosh I want something sweet. I just an Oreo dunked in milk or a warm chocolate chip cookie. What do you all do for sweets?

Oh my gosh..... I am so happy I found this post. I was banded January 16 and I was feeling great and I lost 10 pounds on the 9 day liquid diet that I thought would kill me.... But after surgery I was tryin to press my luck a couple days after surgery and ate some stuff I shouldn't have.. Oh my gosh my stomach was hurting soo sooo sooo soo bad.. I'm like my pouch has strecthed, they going to have to remove it, I failed.. My mom like no just calmed down. needless to say I been sticking to soup and shakes...
