remember, you probably don't have any Fluid in your band yet. this is a time for healing. you may not feel any restriction, and therefore can eat the way you could pre-band. Take this time and allow your tummy to heal. It does get better, I promise!

I am so sorry you are having trouble. The banding is jsut a tool. Why are you setting yourself up for a bad outcome by having anything in the house you are not allowed to eat? Did you do all this for nothing? I hope you will take a hard look at what you have to do to make this weight loss a new way of life. If you do what you did to get you fat you will remain fat or get even bigger. I really hope you will stop any excuses and give this a chance to work. How bad do you want to be thin? What are you willing to do inorder to get htere? Good luck to you. Make the right choices.

Did your doctor not give you a step by step food diet for after your surgery? You shouldnt eat anything solid right now. You should be on a soft diet at this stage. Your still healing and should still be easing your way to solids.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
