Congrats everyone! February is over and we should all be on the banded side now. Im interested in how everyone is doing? How are your spirits? Accomplishments? Struggles?

As for me, I was banded on the 5th and didn't struggle much with surgery. I had a small allergic reaction to the glue, but a little Benedryl took care of it. I'm excited because all my clothes are getting big. As far as the scale goes I'm only down 25 pounds, I know I should be trilled, 14 off it was pre-op. I just started struggling with hunger a little... I was hoping I would be one of the lucky ones who was in the green immediately... Haha. I'm struggling to chew chew chew and I know my bites are too big. However, I've been pretty darn good at sticking to the correct portions. I have my first fill appointment on Tuesday and truth be told I'm a little nervous, although I know it's nothing compared to surgery. That's about it for now, I'm sure I could go on and on... Lol

Your turn! I'm excited to hear how each of y'all (yes, I'm from Texas) are doing!!!

Banded on 2/7. Down 30 - 15 preop and 15 post. Surgery was fine. Hunger controlled for the most part. Head hunger is there and sometimes screaming at me. I am faithful about tracking everything I eat. I use sparkpeople and am ranging 900-1200 calories and 50-75 Proteins. I'm back at the gym, walking. Ready to get back to running but tried that and pulled my port. Guess I was a little over zealous. Had the stomach flu in week 3. That sucked. But back on track and doing great.

      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! 😞
