So i'm in the full Fluid stage adn did a stupid thing. After a bad day, i ate a bag & a 1/4 of chips. I felt so sick afterwards. Didn't throw up( ok a bit of flem) and had a few bowel movements but was in rough shape for the rest of the night. I still have my Soup for dinner and took some tylenol to help me sleep.

So paranoid that i've moved the band?

Also i had some bad Snacks during the clear Fluid stage and when i got on my scale well my weight was the same as the day of my surgery. I was going down on the scale at home. I know different scales, but what am i doing wrong. Will i just maintain my weight till i get my first fill?

Any advice....;)

First, STOP!!!!!! Do NOT go off your diet stages again. I knoe it is tough, but just take each day as a new day, don't beat yourself up for what happened already, just move forward from here. Do your best. If you are in FULL liquids, creamy Soups help alot. The Campbell's Soup-at-Hand Soups are good and basically pureed (but not the ones with Pasta in them, stay away from those).

No, you likely did not do anything to your band. But no one really knows for certain. If you are not having issues with vomiting, then right now I think you are okay. But again, I'm not your doc.

The period of time on the stages after surgery are NOT for losing weight, they are for healing. Please do not get caught up in a scale number right now. Many people GAIN weight in the post-op stage. It's normal.

Also, take some time and look around here, there is LOADS of good info. The FAQ and references forum is good. There is also good info about fills in the Fills thread. You will likely not be restricted from your first fill, I just wanted to warn you of that. Most people say it is three to five fills before they reach optimum restriction that sticks with them. It takes time, but you WILL get there.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
