So I was banded on 2weeks ago and I must say I noticed I couldn't eat a 1/2 of cup of yogurt without getting full. Now I don't have that "full feeling" at all and I get my first fill February 20th. Is this normal?

Yes, those first few weeks you're healing from surgery and super swollen inside, so you feel full really fast. Keep following the plan and you'll make it!

I go for my first fill on 2/1 and I can't wait. I miss the restriction from those first few weeks. Best of luck to you!

Its also important to you know that you are not looking for a "full" feeling. You have to learn where it is that you feel satisfied. If get full you have eaten too much. This journey will teach you so much about yourself. Best of Luck!

Good news is that you are perfectly normal for your post-op stage. That doesn't make it any easier, but it does mean that your journey is progressing.

Hang in there, follow the rules and enjoy the benefits down the track.

it is harder in the beginning hang in there and stick with the doctor told you. This is prep work for the real work as you work your program...its hard at this stage and so remember but so worth it.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
