Good morning :rolleyes2: I was officially banded this past Monday and I am doing pretty good so far. Have followed my Clear liquids religiously and I am looking forward to full liquids this Saturday.

I do have a silly question but I can't help but ask - did you experience a slight weight gain after the sugery? I went in as 204, was 206.5 yesterday and today now 204.5- Oh and I am not being anal retentive about weighing myself I was just curious to see what happens after and how quickly.

I know that your body fluids fluctuate greatly and I want anyone who reads this to know I do not weigh myself normally more than once a week :thumbup:

My urine is clearish and I am pleased with that is as I am drinking as much Fluid as possible to stay hydrated. I find that I am very tired easily but I have been getting up and walking around - which has helped with the gas greatly.

Any ways, back to my original silly worry - did you gain weight directly after surgery and how long was it before you actually started to lose weight?

CHEMMAN9 Welcome I hope things are going well with you with you. I know I feel much better now than I did at day 3 or 4 every day a little better.

Thanks Marvie. You are correct. Each day the post-op pain is subsiding. Today (post-op day five), my doctor schedule allowed me to have thin cream based Soups. I had crab cream Soup. I didn't feel in any negative affects. Hopefully, the rest of my journey will progress this well.

Steer clear of Heinz Cream of Tomato!!!

I had some at lunchtime today and my god I've suffered!!

Had the runs ever since....not nice!! lol

good to hear that you got some cream soup. I bet you never thought that cream soup would sound so good did you? Glad to hear that you are feeling better and things are going well.

Amanda,

I will take your advice and stay away from tomato. I tried low fat broccoli cheese Soup and diluted it with some chicken stock for dinner it was good. My husband of course asked if that was all I was eating.

Thanks for the warning. Campbell's makes a tomato bisque soup that I was thinking of trying. Actually, I had it last year and it was great, but that was in my pre-lapband life.

Amen to that. I am so tired of juices, Water, and Protein shakes.

Your scale shows that you have already lost 12 pounds. That is great, congrats! My banding was done on the 17th, and I have only lost 9 pounds. It is most likely my fault. I have been too sore to exercise. I now feel well enough to start slowly exercising again tomorrow.
