I was banded may 11th... I've been eating chobani vanilla yogurt and drinking carnation Breakfast essentials... I feel hungry every couple hours... Still trying to manage all my Protein and liquid I need for a day.

Now I am trying to plan my soft solid meals( starts Friday!) Not sure what I can and can't have... Waiting for my cookbooks I ordered.. hopefully can get some great ideas

I was banded on the 11th as well!!! To be honest I haven't felt hungry at all but I haven't felt full either. It really crazy!!!! I have my 3 Protein shakes a day all my liquids and I might have a Greek yogart in the evening if I don't have broth. Now tonight my husband brought me some egg drop Soup and I strained the eggs and it was delish!!!! I'm feeling great!!!!! I am some what nervous about starting soft foods on Friday. It sounds like our schedule as far as food is the same. Look forward to doing this journey with you.

Egg Drop Soup sounds yummy!! I was going to try Tomato Soup from applebees but I don't think it's made very healthy!.. definitely looking forward to this journey with you too. So glad I found this forum!! :-)

Was banded on the 18th. I can't do this liquid crap anymore, I am not a sweet eater and I have drank so much broth I think I am going to drown. I cheated and started my mushies on day 5 and so far so good. Anyone else have this kind of problem or suggestions.

I was banded the tenth also and did the same thing as you by starting mushy goods and I'm a-ok. I just had a follow up two days ago and they said I'm healing fine and said I could start soft to an extent:)

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
