Hello everyone, I was banded on Monday June 2nd, and am doing very well !! I also had a hernia repair at the same time (that was the worst part of this whole thing)!! My tummy has a big cut down the middle and the sutures are starting to itch :Dancing_wub:, I guess thats a good sign:smile:. I go to the doctor next week to get them removed and also a trip to the dietician. I am eating soft, mushy, foods in very small amounts and feel fine with that. I am supposed to be doing mostly liquids, BUT, I needed some real FOOD!! I can't live on broth and cream of crap Soup :( !!!, and I don't care if the dietician likes it or not :(. I have eaten some cottage cheese, scrambled egg, tuna w/ a dab of mayo, refried Beans, and some mushy rice crispies. All with no problem. I just wanted to check in and wish everyone else the best of luck on their journey and best wishes for a speedy recovery with the surgery... Theresa P

I too was scheduled for June 2nd, but at the last minute, the doctors decided that my thyroid levels were too high. I now have to see an endocrinologist and get signed off there. The surgeon swears that I won't have to wait another 2-3 months to get back on his schedule. Jeez...it took 4 months to get on his schedule the first time. I then found out that I can't get in to see the specialist until June 19th, so I figured what the heck. I went to Vegas.

I am soooo bummed.

Hi June Bandsters, I was banded on June and also and would like to hear how you all are doing. I started off great, but this past week I was overeating again. I dont feel the restiction anymore, probable because the swelling is down. I have had alot of incredible stress latley and I started eating because of it.Anyway I need support from those who are at the same level of time as me. Please letme know how people are doing and what they are eating aand dealing with the head games. Mary C

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
