Hi there! I was also banded on Friday, Feb. 19 in Raleigh, NC. And I too am feeling great. My surgery was at 9:20am and I was home by 1:00pm the same day. Have felt a little like I have been kicked in the gut but nothing that I can't tolerate. The strangest thing for me is to hear my stomach growling all of the time. broth and Water don't seem to be satisfying me!

I would love to know what you are eating. The more I read the more I see just how different everyone's diet is. Hope you continue to feel great.

Well, I did my first official weigh-in at home this morning. Since surgery on Feb. 19 I have lost 14.5 lbs. I am thrilled with that! I am feeling great and not really feeling hungry at all.

My food choices last week were not great and at times I was frustrated with broth, broth, and more broth. But I was allowed to introduce creamed Soups, yogurt, and milk this week so I feel like a new woman! Have my first followup appointment at the doctor on Friday. Maybe I can reach the 20 lb. mark by then.

Goal is to reach 75 g. of Protein daily. So I'm still using Protein powder mixed with skim milk 3 x day. Adding in very thin Tomato Soup, yogurt, applesauce, babyfood (2 oz) at a time, popsicles and today cream of wheat. The amounts are always less than 2 oz. Atleast I'm getting some different flavors.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
