I am two weeks post op today!!! Feeling great did my first Zumba class tonight and I loved it! I have lost 11 pounds since surgery for a total loss of 37 pounds feeling great and starting to wear some old jeans

Yay congrats!

Were you banded on the 11th? If so we were banded on the same day by the same doc.

Yes I was! That is crazy lol how r u feeling?

That's so funny! You must have gone after me because the woman who went before me got her band taken out. You look like you are doing great! I can't believe you can work out already, lucky duck! I am still really sore. I still can't lift anything and I just started laying on my side. I can't imagine I'll be in the gym before the end of the month. Are you doing the pureed food?

I was the first case of the morning at 8:30... Yeah just started puréed food yesterday. I am loving it lol. Did u start them yesterday too? I am feeling really good I attribute it to starting an exercise regimen before surgery and taking long walks everyday right after surgery. I am surprised but I can even sleep on my stomach! Why did the lady before u have to have the band taken out? There was an older lady right after me who seemed to have a tough time walking maybe that was her.

I started the pureed but I can't do it. The texture grosses me out. I'm doing miso Soup and chopped sashimi. I'm still not eating very much because my stomach is not liking what I did to it. I had to do a 23 hour stay because my stomach spasmed so bad I couldn't drink anything. I had two c-sections that were no problem at all. Never did the pain killers and was juggling those babies around just days after surgery. This surgery has knocked me on my butt. I would definitely do it again but I would be better prepared for the long lay up.

The woman before me had her band slip. I think she was cheating her band because she had the band in for a couple of years and looked to be about 240 lbs. Not being judgey, I just wanted to explain what I thought happened with her band slip because I know we all fear that. You were probably already in surgery by the time I arrived. I got there about 8 am.

I'm glad things are going so well for you. Has your weight loss slowed down? I was losing about a pound a day. I've lost 26 lbs starting with the pre-op diet, Now I'm about 2 to 3 pounds per week. I know that's good but I'm afraid it will be even less next week.

I agree with you! I had 3 c sections. 10 pound babies. My gallbladder out.. This was by far my worst surgery! Took me a good month to feel better, still not back to normal. But it does get better

Was your gallbladder taken out with this surgery?

No. Almost 19 years ago with my first baby! (Can it be that long ago!!!)

I lost 26 total between diet monitoring and the 2 week liquid diet. I have lost 11 pounds in the 15 days since surgery I am not really worried about my loss slowing down because I am burning more calories then I am consuming. I was so ready to get out of there I am so happy I didn't have to stay.

You're doing so great. I'm walking but that's it for now. I probably have another month before I can really do anything. i'm worried I won't get my first fill because I'm healing so slowly.
