I am seriously a newbie and I just started mushies- I didn't think I was eating a lot but upon review- I had 3 peppermint mochas in the past 3 days- ridiculous, I had dressing, green bean casserole, mashed potaotes, gravy, cranberry sauce, turkey, chocolate pie, hominy casserole- duh why wouldn't I gain 3 lbs-lol. Carrying on...

Yeah... That'll probably do it. Amazing what kind of damage you can do on mushies, huh? You'll get back on track. :D

Mmmm... Peppermint mochas...

Try tracking your food intake with a food diary or something like myfitnesspal. It makes such a difference when you account for all you put in your mouth. Oh...and yeah, peppermint mochas sound absolutely delish...LOL.

As of yesterday morning, I didn't gain anything. I was afraid to look, but the scale was in the same place as it was before Thanksgiving. I was SO relieved!!

Just goes to show……we can enjoy a holiDay. But when a holiDay becomes a holiWeek - Month or Year, we get into in deep doo doo. But I've been on the treadmill and walking these hills ever since Thursday, and will continue to do so. I got off track with my exercise about 2.5 weeks ago. But now I feel SO much better doing it :D

No gain. I maintained on 4oz turkey, lots of veggies, 4 tablespoons gravy/mashed potatoes and 1 small dinner roll.

it must be something else going on weird. I know I did not have an additional 10,500 calories in 3 mochas and 1 meal. Two days though I have been weighing the same and it's not my period... Strange

Hi there, the post-band pre-fill time can be difficult appetite-wise -- many people gain a little during this time. Your body is healing up from the surgery and then when you're able to get fills and find the right place your band can go to work....

Terry - so sorry to hear about your mom. That alone, is very difficult to deal with. Glad to hear that you're back on track. It's hard sometimes, but once you're back in the swing, things feel so much better.

No weight gain. Enjoyed good Turkey and couple bites of pumpkin pie with rediwhip - yum! Actually lost a pound. Was off work from last Wednesday thru Sunday and was able to walk 3-4 miles each day except Saturday. Now to get thru December!

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
