It's been quite a journey so far successful band surgery 2012 then problems with my band and weight regain all bar 30lb. I am on the pre op diet of lean protein and no more than 40g of carbs. Surgery is 11 days away feeling nervous and excited. Have lost 10 on pre op diet so far. Have pdh diet protein for post op in strawberry and mint choc chip. Any other revision people out there how are you all doing x

@tayesidebell I was really nervous so I took it very slow. My doc is somewhat progressive with the food stages so I went even slower than his recommendation. I'm 6 weeks out and doing well. No dumping or vomiting! I just had pork yesterday and did great. Sounds like you're doing great!

Have made a few of egg face recipes for the pureed stage a ricotta bake and beans with laughing cow cheese really like her blog lots of advice worth a read. http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.co.uk/?m=1

I've made the ricotta bake and love it! It's a great website!

Just checking to see how you doing i'm still waiting for my next visit with the doctor is the 26 of October.

4 week hospital catch up lost 19lb very pleased signed off puree to soft foods.

Hello my friend.

I am so glad to hear from you I'm doing good I have my next appointment the 26 I have lost 15 pounds on this diet so I'm hoping my surgery will be on December ☺️ you keep up the good work you encouraged me please keep in touch and I will let you know what's going on????

Had band out august 21st, 2015. Starting pre op diet tomorrow and having surgery November 16th, 2015!!!!!

Had my band out last Thursday and planning on bypass in December.....still feeling sore, I have a big divit where my port was.....hope its a swelling issue because right now it looks like someone took a big spoonful out of me!

I had a big lump under my skin for weeks and then one day I realized it was gone. It will probably go away with time.

That would be nice, not that ill ever be in a bikini..... but still

This is what my port site looks like now and mine was removed 8/10/15

I had the same "divit", but will improve over time.

Not bad,no scarring.

This was me 2 days post band removal

12 week check up lost 39lb very happy. Working on 60g protein and reducing shakes now only 1 a day how are you Marie have you got a date yet X

Not yet my surgeon has been very sick so he is way behind so I have no idea I am very proud for you you have a very blessed Christmas. Do not overdo it.
