I was banded Thursday and I have a post opt diet to follow no solids for three weeks. Thin liquids first week, thick liquids second week, mushers third week. I drink Muscle Milk Protein Shakes they're delicious especially the Cookies and cream.

My surgery is December 17th!! I've been on the liquid diet 4 days now, it's hard, but I actually feel great and it's boosted my inner strength somehow. I also started seeing a therapist this week to give me support through all of this. There is nothing wrong with taking charge of your health and happiness. Be proud, and I'll be sending good vibes your way! :)

amen girlfriend!!!

I have a panic attack disorder and have to see a therapist weekly. Mine is looking forward to helping me with the anxiety.

Good luck tomorrow Marybell!

Im up and moving for a few, ive been relaxing in the recliner since about 6. so 4hours maybe- when i woke up i was throwing up so they gave me medicine which knocked me out and when i came to i was throwing up more. so i had to stay longer then expected. surgery was done at 11. but wasnt discharged until 430. the nurses stuck me 7x to get a iv line. finally the charge nurse had to do it. when i woke up i was so sore and uncomfortable. but around 2 that wore off and i wanted to pee and walk. so i did. its nice to be home in my own chair though. my arms feel heavy and my left side of my stomach is sore. doctor said my liver looked great. i did have an umbilical hernia but that is all no heital hernias. thanks for all ur support dear

      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

      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... :(
