for the newbies bandits,, read this as a learning experience

eat slow, chew alot and stop eating (or eating too soon after surgery) before dr says for you too.

(even if its soft or you think/assume its ok)

like aj said, thats the band saying take me serious

My doctor told me that I was on a liquid diet for two weeks then after that two weeks of puree. I bought beef broth and more boost but I really am not that hungry. This is a whole new world. I always loved my food and it was always my comfort, not anymore. Funny how things change. I am so excited for each of us and our new journey.

My problem as I see it is:

I waited too long to eat AND I was paying attention to my children instead of my baby plate and baby spoon ( thank you very much!)

My point was to warn that it hurts like hell is running through your chest even if you have a baby spoon when you don't pay attention.

Lesson learned!

At week three I was still on soft mushies like yogurt and cottage cheese. I did not move to denser mushies like canned chicken until week 4. You may want to consider soft mushies for a few days before moving back to chicken. .

Oh and I'm 3 weeks post op with no fill. I call bull crap on my Dr who said I was wide open like as if I didn't have the band right now!!

I know a lady who lost 100lbs before she ever needed a fill. So everyone is different.

Lesson learned, huh.

Our doctors/nut all have different plans. I'm following mine. It wasn't the type of food, I'll have to learn sooner or later to respect the band. Fault was all mine!

Amen, been there done that before, actually did it today, in a hurry to go to mall with hubby to buy boots for Me. Was not paying attention and then that lump in the back of my throat started, the saliva started forming in my mouth and Katy bar the door off I ran. And I am two years out and have not had a fill in over 7 months and most days don't even remember I have my band because I follow the rules. So it happens to all of us and it sucks.

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

      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! 😞
