That's great it worked out well for you, but there was someone else a couple weeks ago who chose to not follow the Dr's diet and even though she lost 15lb +, the Dr closed her back up without a band because her liver was still too large.

I hope you're feeling well.

So, you believe the "bandster diet" to be torture, and you reference your doctor as "stupid"...

I predict your're going to be experiencing a major reality check very soon...I wish you luck, because it would seem that you will need all you can get.

Best wishes to reach your goal weight...

I am wondering how you will do with the band? It's all about learning to eat correctly and following the Dr and nutritionalist's food plan.I really hope you do well but from your post it seems you haven't started off on the right foot. I always tried to go about things my own way and never listened to Dr's. It didn't get me very far. I wish you good luck on your journey but i do hope you will start listening to what your Dr tells you. Also, if you don't respect him ( ex: calling him stupid ) you may not have that support that you will need. You have to work with your Dr, be honest, and go to all your appointments. Good luck.

I didn't have a pre-op diet either. I wish you the best. We all fall short of what we are supposed to do at some point. Just remember that your doctor is telling you based on his experience and being dishonest with your doctor is also Wong dishonest with yourself. I started to eat soft foods a few days ahead of time and stopped losing weight. I realized that was God reminding me that I made a commitment to Him and myself to improve my temple. Don't let anyone discourage you...you will be successful because we all fall down and that doesn't matter as long as we learn from it and get back up! GOOD LUCK

Sorry for laughing! I just couldn't fathom why you would use a Dr who was stupid and believe me, I've seen some stupid Drs.

Drugs are good, drugs are good. Just not while txting.

Best wishes on your journey!

Sorry for laughing! I just couldn't understand why you'd have a stupid Dr do surgery on you. Believe me I 've seen some stupid Drs in my day.

Drugs are good, drugs are good just not while txting. Lol

Best wishes!

      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!!

      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
