I had my LapBand surgery September 29th. When I woke up afterwards, it was with new eyes. I slept most of the weekend and was back at work Monday. So, I'm learning how to sip and chew Vitamins and drink Protein Drinks. I'm excited about my future. Before surgery there were a lot of "what ifs". But, now that I'm banded, the focus has turned to following my nutritionist's plan for me. I began to get a little hungry on the fifth day and got to have some thinned out sweet potatoes. (Yum)

Every journey begins with one step and I have stepped over the line to a healthier life!:rolleyes:

congrats on your new journey to the new you. it is an adjustment to get used to that is for sure. i was not hungry for the first week, but when i was able to have creamy Soups, i was soooooo happy. :) LOL

i still love Soup and broth. i drink liquids on my fill day and the day before my period as it helps with the bloating.

just keep following your plan, don't beat yourself up if you make a mistake, you are human, we all make them.

Well done! I was also banded on the 29th but don't go back to work until tomorrow (Wednesday). Today was the first time I have felt hungry between meals (if you can call them meals!). Like you I'm so looking forward to a new life not tied to food 24/7. Good luck!

      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! 😞
