Hi Betty, Are you doing the liquid diet right now, or are you talking about the two weeks after surgery? I never did liquids before surgery, but after I lived off the slim fast drinks. I have friends that loved the tortilla Soup from El Pollo Loco, but they only drank the broth. That was a great treat for them. Where are you having your surgery at?

Still on liquid diet as I was told week1 is all liquids too. Thanks for your response hope to hear from you soon--- overall loss goal 70 lbs. How do I make one of those measurement tools with a loss meter on it- so cool:lol:

Hi everyone! I live in Fullerton and would love to find a walking buddy. I can't afford a gym membership, but I need to find some sort of motivation to get out of my apartment and exercise. If anyone would like to get together, please send me a PM. I am coming up on my one year (Jan 16th) and have only lost about 48lbs. I need a jump start. Thanks!

Hi fellow bandsters, I had my surgery March 20th. My first fill April 24th. Both were done in Mexico. I am looking for a local doctor to do a fill. Does anyone know of one who will do fills with a floroscope? Also, willing to do it for someone who had the surgery in Mexico? Any help is appreciated. I live in Newport Beach.

I do not have insurance, that is why I went to Mexico.

My weight loss is only 31 pounds so far. My last fill did nothing, the weight loss is all me. I need another fill and I can't go back to Mexico as they only do fills on Saturday and I work all weekends.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
