Chrisk13, I Got Banded 9/5 And Iam Still On Clear liquids. I Am Not Really Hungry But I Am Tiered Of Clear Liquids. I Have All Of This Week To Go. And I Really Don't Understand Because I Know I Can't Be Getting To Much Protein With broth, Water, Jello, Crystal Light. I Can't Wait Til This Stage Is Over With. I Go Back To Work On Monday, I Hope I Have The Strenght To Work!!

Don't worry, a week without Protein will be o.k.... Your body has lots of stores built up. PLUS the healing around your BAND is critical at this time.

Don't rush to Full fluids or mushie's follow your Doctors instructions to the tee and you will have a Great Success!

I know the clear liq phase is the WORST of all!!! I hated it too, what I needed to feel "well" was electrolyte drinks... Gaterade or some baby Pedialyte... mixed with my Apple juice did the trick.

I was losing my potassium and sodium just on clears and was starting to feel week, and had diarhea too. liquids in = Liquids out. Yuk, but once I started on Full Fluids (ie Protien shakes) everything was fine ...

I still feel really good, and I'm 3 mos. post op. have lost 19 lbs. since surgery so I am very happy. I'be had 2 fills to date./

      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?

      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! 😞
