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.

      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.

      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! 😞
