I start in one week, the 28th. My dr gave me a 1,000 calorie food based plan rather than then liquids though so I'm thankful for that!

Well, made it through day 3 of pre op diet. I get 2 or 3 Protein Shakes and one meal low carb. I've been doing the bsn lean desert Protein with Water and a splash of almond milk. To mix it up, my nut suggested a sprinkle of sugar pudding mix then blend with ice. Today did choc protein with banana cream pudding. Like drinking a banana split, YUM! dinner has been lean protein with lettuce and cheese. I have to say it hasn't been bad. I must keep in mind this is the first step in a journey and it won't be like this forever!!

Pre-op testing done, scheduled to meet with surgeon on Monday. But.....now I'm having doubts. I keep coming across these studies done on the complication rate of lap band. I'm more confused than ever :(

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Day 4 of pre op diet under way. I had a shake for Breakfast and then only Turkey while the rest of the family had their big Thanksgiving meal. I survived, so anyone that's worried about doing this during the holiday can do it to. You've had this kind of food before, you know what it tastes like, you can have some next year. It will all be worth it!

How was everyone's Thanksgiving dinner? I over ate as I expected I would. I felt like it was my last turkey dinner. I know the band doesn't change my way of eating so I am praying I will not mess this up

      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.
