Good luck on Wed! I'm scheduled for Dec 12.

So far I lost 9lbs pre-op, 3 lbs in my first week post-op, 2 lbs in the second week post-op, and no weight last week (my 3rd week post-op). Hoping to at least maintain, and not gain, until my first fill! A loss would be nice too of course, but I don't have much restriction.

First fill today! It's like a light bee sting and it was really quick.

Mine is this week, but for the life of me I cannot remember if it's Wednesday or Thursday. I will report back as well.

First fill cancelled today. My son woke up with a stomach virus and thought I should wait to see if I get it before tightening my band. So it will be next week for me!

@@briefs199 will do, I am right now trying to stick to the stage 2 diet plan, but I had some tuna fish on toast a minute ago and I will be glad to eat a bit more variety by Saturday, even if it is in small portions.

Had my fill this morning. Originally the nurse out in 3cc but I was gurgling a little after drinking Water in the waiting room so he took out .5cc. So I'm at 2.5cc in a 10cc band.

Glad I had that .5 taken out. It was a strange feeling! I am on liquids and then mushy for a few days.

Hope everyone is 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! 😞
