I dont think anyone is being rude but really some things that are asked should have been covered by your doctor, nutritionist. I have said it a million times and been told off a million times but your doctors are getting paid to be at your service 24 hours a day 7 days a week. When I came home from the hospital I knew what I could eat for the first 12 weeks after surgery. Your surgeons office should have provided you with a list of acceptable foods and at what stage you could have them. If they didn't then you need to call them and ask them. We all had different directions and ours might not be what your doctor wants you to have. Although it may seem simple to ask us but I agree with Jean we are not certified nutritionist to provide you with that answer then if something happens you will blame us that we told you to eat it. Not being rude but being honest and truthful

I think its a huge concern if you have't already planned out what you should be eating through each stage an what your doctor has told you to do.

Weeks before I went in for surgery I tested out so many different foods for each stage and how to eat it and made sure I enjoyed it and then checked with my doctor to make sure it was allowed. I also made sure I had all the stages completely understood and wrote them on the fridge.

You should never go into surgery and make such a big life decision if you aren't sure of a plan, or what you are suppose to do afterwards. It also worries me that your doctor hasn't supplied you with enough information.

Well everyone seems to be saying the same thing. "Stick to your Drs instructions". Hmmmm,are we all rude?

I don't think so. Everyone here wants every lap bander to succeed and the only way to do that is follow your Drs instructions and rely on your LB team, meaning surgeon,nutritionist & therapist.

      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... :(
