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 changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
