Joe, it seems you've been pretty diligent about posting your meals so I'm going to join you so you're not alone. I was banded on Oct 20th and my weight loss has been pretty steady. I have however slowed down (as expected), I don't get my first fill till the first week of Dec and I can't do any running or weight lifting yet so I'm walking a few times a week (1.5-2 miles/per). Today I've had:

B: 2 egg whites, 1/2 peice of whole wheat toast

S: 6 oz V8

L: California Rolls 6 peices

S: yogurt (Probably)

D: 1 can of tuna, lil bit of mayo, relish & mustard (probably)

Total is roughly 800 calories

Not bad at all well done! :)

What I had today so far and what I have planned on having later.

Breakfast

Atkins Protein Shake

1 cup coffee SF Hazlenut Creamer

Lunch

2 Scrambled eggs (very chopped up,pepper, dash of hot sauce)

Snack

SF pudding

SF Jello

1 cup Coffee SF Hazlenut Creamer

Dinner

chicken broth

Snack

SF Pudding

Did a half hour on the treadmill today and burnt a 150 calories but I'm only day 7 and I don't have a calorie count like you do on my food, I should start doing that.

From what some of you have said it looks like you can just gain the weight right back after a while. Being skinny once, now fat and now trying to get skinny again I can appreciate what you guys are going through. I'll have to retrain my brain to the way I eat and maybe post pictures of myself around the house overweight to deter me from over eating as I go along. I guess its all about will power, which is something I wish I had more of and hope I develop as I go along.

      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.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
