wow, you must have a really different thinking doctor! most doctor's require at least 1-2 weeks on liquids after surgery....

unless of course you aren't following your doctor's orders ...

losingjusme: I am having a difficult time following my Dr's orders because I feel absolutely the same way I did prior to surgery. I barely had any post op pain and my stomach feels exactly the same.

what you are in right now is called "Bandster Hell" ... see the search box up top (right next to new posts and quick links)? You may want to search for bandster hell.

this time is for HEALING and anchoring that band in place on your stomach. the more you eat, the more your stomach 'works' with digestion and the fewer chances it gets to anchor into place which can create problems in the future.

i strongly suggest you go back to liquids and follow your doctor's directions.

i am not saying that you WILL have problems, but i wouldnt want to go through surgery just to possibly mess it up.

Of course you are right. Thank you for your concern, I am trying, I really am. I just need to keep trying to beat the behavior that got me where I am...thank you.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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! 😞
