I was banded on 3/11/08. I have lost 32.5 pounds since I started my pre-op diet. My doctor still has me on liquids and I don't go to mushies until my first fill which will be 4/14/08. I am looking forward to that.

My starting weight was 253 and my weight today was 220.5. I drink my Proteins, Water and exercise daily.:regular_smile:

Congratulations everyone. Keep up the good work.

Hi Kathyline,

I just wanted to give congrats to you on your weight loss. Your pre-op weight is very simlar to mine. I was very curious as to how many days you work out?, what you mainly eat ? Do you replace a meal? I am really trying to get this weight off. I was banded 3-21-2008 and I have lost a total of 23lbs (pre-op diet lost 13lbs). I really am focus on getting this weight off and keeping it off . Please give feedback soon. I really am interested in getting good results.

I was banded on March 4th. With pre op diet, total weight loss as of last week is 21 lbs. I only weight once a week, trying not to obsess over it. I feel as if I could do a lot better if I had some restriction. As of right now I think I've lost this 21 lbs on will power alone. I go for my first fill on the 23rd of this month. Hopefully then I'll have some restriction. Congrats to all Shrinking Shamrocks!

I don't think so. I was banded the same day and I am down 21lbs. My scale hasnt moved in the last few days, but I am now on mushys and I believe my body has to adjust.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣
