Hey, I was banded September 29th. Surgery is never pleasant, but, I can honestly say mine was not bad at all. Surgery was at 9 am and I was on my way home before noon. I took it easy Thursday-Sunday, pain pills, popcycles, chicken broth and a lot of sleep. I went back to work on Monday. I feel better than ever today, Wednesday. I'm on creamy foods like soupy mashed potatoes, yogurt, pudding. One of the best things I bought is Syntrax nectar Protein drink mix. You can get it at the Vitamin Shoppe. It has 23 grams of Protein per scoop and tastes delicious. My nutritionist said I could begin drinking it the first day.

My shoulder has been sore, sometimes my chest feels sore too. But, no problems from my stomach. Just a lot of gurgling, ha. Overall, I feel great. I am so happy to be post-op, it is stressful. But thats normal. I got on the scale for the first time today. I'm down nine pounds. I'm sure being on a liquid diet contributed to the loss!

Good luck to you! Keep the faith!

The pain wasn't too bad. Very manageable. Being flat for sleep was uncomfortable so the first night or two after coming home were spent in a recliner. My doctor gave me all liquid meds after surgery so that helped too! (no pills!)

I lost the bulk of my weight on the pre-op diet. My program took that part VERY seriously and so did I. I lost about 50 lbs before surgery (15 during the "thinking" part when I tried to do it myself before deciding on surgery); then another 35 during the pre-op program. Since surgery I've lost just under 30 pounds for a total of 80 pounds. I'm about 20-30 pounds from goal. I think I'll see how I feel and decide then. I started at size 22/24 and now I'm a 12/14.

Getting to my "sweet spot" has been a big challenge. Moving across the country didn't help!! I've had a few challenges getting to where I wanted to be but it all seems OK now that I'm here!!

I would suggest taking a good week off from work. I was teaching elementary school at the time and took off one week. In hindsight, I should have taken off a few more days since I worked with children.

I'm not sure what "gas x strips" are but I would suggest you start trying different Protein drinks to see what you like before surgery. Keep in mind, your taste might change after surgery so don't buy too much. My favorites are Muscle Milk Light (costco, Wal-Mart, etc.) and powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury (on-line ordering only). I use Unjury Vitamins b/c they are chewable. I also take Calcium (Caltrate 600 D plus), again chewable.

After surgery I had a lot of chicken broth and cream of chick Soup.

Does Dr. Mailapur have a pre-op and post-op diet?

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
