Hi There! Just Had My Surgery



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. My name is Kim. I had my surgery one week ago and I am seeing some good results already!

I lost 7kg on the pre surgery diet and 4kg since my surgery last week! So a total of 11kg already :-) just wondering if any of you out there have some tips or advice? I'm pretty much doing this on my own so I can use all the support I can get :-)

Thank you.

Tips and advice? Wow, I could write a whole book on that. But wait! I DID write a whole book on that.

Sounds like you're off to a good start, but why are you doing this on your own? Does your surgeon not offer any patient education and support?

I strongly recommend you buy Jean's book mentioned in her post above. I wish I had read the whole thing before I started my journey and I recommend it to everyone. No... I do not get a take of the royalties! :-) It is just a great reference!

Jean what is the name of your book?

The book title is Bandwagon, and it has a companion cookbook called Bandwagon Cookery. See my signature line for more info. You can buy either (or both) book(s) by clicking on the Bandwagon ads here on LBT - there's a big one at the upper right corner and a pair of smaller ads at the bottom of the page.

Of you are using a smart phone app to access this site, your signature doesn't show up and the ads aren't either.

But y'all I found the cookbook on Amazon so far.

Becky/26yrsold/Idaho. Band Date Nov. 5. 248/goal 165.

You can also buy both books (at a lower price than Amazon) by going to jean-onthebandwagon.blogspot.com and clicking on one of the purchase options on the left hand side of the page.

thanks for your interest!

      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! 😞
