Hi -

I was banded on July 11th. I lost about 15 lbs pre op and then lost about another 5 post op. I have not lost anything in about a week now. Actually went up 2 lbs when I weighed this morning. However, after reading several post on here and other websites that seems to be normal. I go see my doctor on Friday but I am afraid that he is going to be disappointed in me. I would like to eliminate some of the carbs in my diet but it is kind of difficult with the dietary restrictions right now.

Same here! Got banded July 18th and lost 5lbs in the first couple of days...was so excited! But for the past 2 days, ever since I started the "slider" phase with yogurt, Soup, oatmeal, etc...I have not lost a single ounce. I'm going for my first post-op appointment tomorrow...will let you know what's up.

It went good! He said my incisions look perfect and to keep doing what I'm doing. I told him about my concerns but he said it was too early for a fill. I have 1 month post-op appt 22 August, so maybe I can get a fill then if the pounds don't start coming off.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
