OMG I can't wait. My band is a little too tight, so I've been on a liquid/mushy diet all month. This has been BAD because it's so easy to get too many calories this way. I've gained a couple of pounds, but that's OK. It's going to come off, and take some friends with it. I'm determined!

How are you guys feeling today?

I am a little confused, if your band is to tight when you're only on liquids/mushy foods, why would you gain weight.

@@Ldimples - Mushy foods are generally higher in calories and carbohydrates. E.g. If you're eating mashed potatoes, you're not going to lose weight like you would if you were eating fish and chicken. Now if you stick Protein shakes and sugar free Jello, then you'll keep losing.

Getting my second fill this week...hoping to get in the green zone soon. Will be 2 months post op next week and weight is at a stand still. No complaints though. I'm feeling great and staying active. Glad to hear you're doing good.

Way to go recognizing red zone -- I had to have a teeny unfill at one point. This is the upside of the adjustable LapBand -- we can get it where it's right for us individually.

He took out .5ccs yesterday. He wasn't pleased that ALL solid meats got stuck, and he had me describe the feeling. Umm .. "Ow" just doesn't cover it. The good news is, I didn't gain anything. I also didn't loose anything. So now, I'm hoping that I'm back in the green zone and can get back on target. :D

Also .. I'm feeling GREAT today! Interestingly enough, having saline taken out feels NOTHING like having it put in. My tummy actually GROWLED at him after he took that tiny bit of Fluid out. LOL!

      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?

      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.
