You sound like me. I was lapband to RNY revision. 5 weeks out. Not a single issue. I can eat and drink anything I try. Scale is moving and I am not hungry.

The only three I can stomach are Unjury Genepro Animal

Thank you so much for writing me back. I am glad to know I am doing ok. I will try the greek yogurt liquid if I can get to the store. And that's a helpful meeasurement ( protei+ carb). for future. I will try not to stress.

I need some reassurance---- is it possible to be too fine? I had RNY on Dec 16. The first few days I wasn't able to. get much down but since day 4 I have no issue sipping. I am meeting my liquid goals ( 64 oz) protein goals ( 60oz) and walking 5k+ steps a day. I am so sick of soup and really want to move to pureee but I know I can't. Any suggestions on things to do in the mean time? How many carbs or fat should I be getting right now? How many calories is thee limit for these next few days? Is day 11-14 the hardest?

Hi Meg! I had a lapband for 14 years and successfully kept off 100 pounds. I was never hungry with it. Sadly, it died in 2023 and had to be removed. The first weeks without it were glorious-- I was able to eat things I missed--- salads, brocolli, bagels. I told myself I would stil eat smaller meals but it was impossible without my tool. I started eating bagels weekly, would have a second slice of pizza, etc. I tired to keep my calories to 1500 but even then I was still eating more. than the 800 cal a day with the band. The weight packed on quickly. I gained 30 pounds in 4 months. And all 100 pounds within 10 months. I totallty failed. With the added. weight, came all of the medical problems again. My blood pressure went up, I had the rashes and skin rub, my plantar facuitis made it impossible to walk far.I hated myself again. I was finaly approved for a revision and converted to RNYGB a week ago. I am taking my life back and only wish I had pushed for a revision at the get go.
