Good luck to everyone going this next week, don't be frightened! I'm getting closer and I swear I will be as excited to have the band done as stop this liquid diet. All meals in life should never be sweet chocolate over and over. It is making me examine a lot of my feelings and thoughts around food. I spend a lot of time thinking about it and even a little time dreaming about it!

I have finally had to stop watching Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives though!

Love you all, and happy papa's day!

I still watch Triple-D. You can still eat the foods on that show..you just have to eat them in MODERATION.

I've been on my Atkin's-like pre-op diet for a week tomorrow and In th first few days I dropped nearly 4 lbs and since then I've been up a little bit, closer to a 3lb weight loss. In any other world I would be PUMPED about a 3lb weight loss but I'm freaking hungry! lol.

Treehouse I am so sorry about your experience! Have you figured out yet what coems next or what you're going to do? Congrats to all those that got banded in the last few days - I hope your recovery is speedy! I haven't been able to get on for a few days and I feel like I missed so much! Started my own pre-op diet (yay it's finally here) and felt really crappy for a few days but today finally feeling good again so hopefully my foody hangover is finally over. I'm not hungry at all but grateful for the Protein Bar I get each night for "dinner" just to be able to chew. I'm surprised at how sad I am to say goodbye to food ;) but it helps that I'm not hungry so I haven't cheated. I will do this. Best of luck to the rest of us still waiting for this month and congrats to those who are on the other side!!!

I'm 4 days in but to be honest? I'm not weighing myself at all... then I'm not sad or emotional about it. I got weighed at preop appt but won't know until I met w/ the surgeon again on the 24th (to go over my labs) how much/if any I lost. I'm sorry you're discouraged. Hopefully a few months from now you'll be SO pleased with where you're at. hang in there if you can!

Treehouse, I'm curious to know if you found out anything today from your mix-up. Please let us know what is happening.

OH, and I absolutely plan to continue watching all my favorite shows on food Network, especially Triple D! LOL

I hope everyone who had their procedure day comes home safe and sound.

I'm back from the dead. Day 3 killed me. Nausea and a Migraine for a good 14 hours straight is not my cup of tea. At least today I feel tons better, and I don't need to take my pain meds anymore!

Also, if you guys get an opportunity, I would really appreciate it if you would stop by my blog and follow me. If you have a blog, I will follow you right back. I noticed a lot of Bandsters who blogged about their experience had a lot of success in their weight loss goals. I could use the support. :) The link is in my signature.

You can do it! Are you on shakes, or do you have a Protein diet? I am sure in a couple of days, my posts might not be as positive! I am going to try not to weigh myself because I dont want to be discouraged!

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
