Hi There Fellow 'May Flowers':

I was banded on May 22nd. I think I am doing quite well, except for the first half of every day, I am still weak. I am eating the way my surgeon's menu states. I am finishing mushies today & start solids tomorrow.

I haven't had work the last month or so & I start a new part-time job tomorrow.

Is anyone else this far out still weak?

I was banded one day later than youand I do feel that I lack the engery I had before. But I have been on the lazy side the past two weeks. Haven't done much walking but started the 30 minutes on the treadmill yesterday with another 15 on eliptical trainer(easiest level). I think that will build back up my strenght. Hopefuly the scale will continue it's downward trend.

I am not having any signs of weakness or feeling sluggish at all... I am back to getting up at 530am and working out for an hour... I go to bed around 10:15pm...I watch the news long enough to see the highlights and the weather....

I have been having 8 ounces of the new cranenergy drink. It has 30 calories and has b Vitamins and green tea extract... I starting having that after my workouts... a friend who also has the band recommended it to me.

I am only 4 days into mushies myself...What kinds of things are you eating....? Maybe you need to change things up....

This is what a day looks like for me...

work out

24 ounces of Water

8 ounces of cran energy drink

1/2 cup egg beaters with 1 1/2 TBS of lite cream cheese cooked and then pureed....

24 ounces of Water

1/2 cup ricotta cheese with 1 TBS of egg beaters cooked for 3 minutes in microwave.... 1/4 cup of marinara on top and a sprinkle of mozzerella cheese and a 1/4 cup of non sweetened applesauce

24 ounces of water

1/2 cup refriend Beans with no fat sour cream and salsa

24 ounces of water

You're probably going to be weak until you start eating regular foods. I stayed tired all the time until about five weeks post-op when I was moved to soft/regular foods. Hang in there - it'll get better.

      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?
