Hi! Just had my surgery on Thursday, 9/16...3 days out! Excited but still hurting! Want to exercise, but not sure if it's too soon and already tired of Protein Shakes. Hey, how do we insert our diet tickers?

Hello! I'm sooooo excited! My surgery is scheduled for September 2 in Texas. Any other September bandsters out there??

my surgery was 9/14. i'm feeling much better, the first 48 hours were horrible. I'm going back to work tomorrow, hoping that goes ok. I have lost 6 lbs since the surgery. Not very hungry, but tired of broth for sure. Seems like I can't tolerate sf popcicles or jello...seems too sweet! Tomorrow I can go to full liquid, so I am looking forward to some good Soups in my near future.

If you put your mouse on someones ticker it will lead you to an outside link. I got mine from Myfittness.com and it allowed me to make it from a picture.

I just got my insurance approval so my 9/28 date is set! I only have two days of a clear liquid diet since my doc's office requires patients to lose weight before surgery. I'm so ready!

My date just got changed to the 27th! That works too.

Congrats, everyone! I just got banded today! Feeling very accomplished! Thank GOD!!! I'll be 21 next month, best birthday gift I couldve given myself! I still have many many questions! I'm also scared of excess skin...But the dr said that Im still young, so it shouldnt be a problem, as long as I exercise and follow the diet... Well, GOOD LUCK to all of us!

Yea!! Glad your doing good. I'm still strugging to take in liquids that I'm suppost to. Feel much better tonight. I'm down 19 lbs but figure to gain some back when I start taking in the fluids I should. Not hungry, don't know if surgeon did a little fill or if its from swelling from the surgery.

I'm home from the hospital after spending one night. I feel good in general. Have some shoulder pain from the air being trapped there but the meds are pretty good. Thinking about taking the advice of others that have gone through this and taking milk of magmisia or something foe the gas.

Good by to Lane Bryant. I went shopping today and am cutting up my card. Cant shop there anymore. Yea!

Helloooo....? Sept banders?

Just wondered how everyone is doing. I just had my 3rd fill 5 days ago. Dr was very encouraging and met the new diatician for the office I go to. I won't hold it against her that she probabley only weights 100 lbs. She was very sweet and had some good advice.

So glad I had the band.

      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! 😞
