I was banded on February 6th. I had my first fill today. I was prepared for a little bit of discomfort when my surgeon "stuck" me, but I didn't feel anything! He had absolutely no problem finding the port:thumbup:, and it was over before I knew it. :laugh: Then, he had me drink a little bit of Water, and eat a Peanut Butter cracker, to see if everything was okay. It was! It kind of feels like it did the first week or so after surgery. I was instructed to drink liquids today, advance to "mushy" foods tomorrow, then move on up to solid foods on Thursday. My weight is now 271.4, down from 310. So, that's nearly a 40 pound weight loss since the two week pre-op diet and surgery. Woo-hoo!!!:w00t::lol::wink::smile::hurray:

      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! 😞
