I've been lurking for a week now so I guess it's time to introduce myself... I'm Sarah I live in St. Louis, MO, im 26 y/o and was banded May 14. Pre-liquids i weighed 303. day of surgery i weighed 289 and I have lost 279 today... Woo hoo!! 24 lbs down! I am still pretty sore at my incision site, but I'm pretty sure that's because he went through my belly button. And my port site is still a bit tender. But nothing intolerable... But oh my.. The first 24 hours I cried so many times, my poor hubby didn't know what to do with me! Lol I didn't expect to be so sore, but I'm confident that its going to be completely worth it!!

I haven't reacted bad to any foods yet ( just started full liquids today) but how do you know if you can't tolerate something? Do you throw up every time? Has anyone NEVER thrown up?! That of course is my ultimate goal.. Mostly because I don't throw up very easily.,. It's awful.

First of all, congratulations on your banding!

You've come to a great place for support, inspiration and knowledge regarding the band. I hope you stick around and share your successes with us.

I have not thrown up once and I hope I don't. Since surgery, I can no longer tolerate Pecans. I get a burning pain in my stomach, but I do not get sick. It took me awhile to figure it out. Funny thing is, I can eat other nuts, just not pecans. I love crushed pecans mixed into my key lime yogurt, but its not worth the pain.

Good luck on your journey!

I am still pretty sore at my incision site, but I'm pretty sure that's because he went through my belly button. And my port site is still a bit tender. But nothing intolerable... But oh my.. The first 24 hours I cried so many times,major surgery is an emotional rollercoaster.. my poor hubby didn't know what to do with me! Lol I didn't expect to be so sore, but I'm confident that its going to be completely worth it!! ;)It won;t take to long for the soreness to dissipate

I haven't reacted bad to any foods yet ( just started full liquids today) but how do you know if you can't tolerate something your usually not going to react to any foods until you start FILLS... Do you throw up every time? No, not if you chew, chew, chew Has anyone NEVER thrown up? I'm sure some haven't but it happens, but there is a learning curve so that you don't vomit or slime :wacko: That of course is my ultimate goal.. Mostly because I don't throw up very easily.,. It's awful

GOOD LUCK .

      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.
