Welps I officially turned my house healthy tonight!!! We went to Kroger and got turkey everything (bacon, ground turkey, sausage) I even went thru my house and gave all my fattening foods to a friend who has twins who could use some help!! Today I get to have mashed potatoes sweet potatoes and cottage cheese sooo I am having sweet potatoe fries tonight yum!!! I am one week post op and have already lost 25 pounds (including my pre op diet about 15 post op) and I go back to work tomorrow and I'm feeling fantastic needless to say I'm loving my band so far :)

hi ashleylaray08. congratulations on your new life and the kick start of your weight loss! i hope you don't feel like i am interfering but couldn't help myself. generally the post op diet is 1 to 2 weeks of liquids, another couple weeks of pureed foods, then a couple of weeks of mushies. every surgeon is a little different but it just seems that since you are only a week post-op that sweet potato fries may not be the best choice. please check your post op instructions before you eat them tonight. the first few weeks are for healing. good luck!

That's true. Every doc is different. I was allowed mushies the day after surgery. Always follow YOUR doc's orders!!!

      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! 😞
