U will see what with THIS post I did do that And Since i now talk to the OP Every day I WAS Supportive of her . In other posts when its a JOKE that they cheated and make jokes out of cheating I have no pitty . sorry that's just me.

If your not going to take things seriously why should I ?

And I wll say AGAIN Once you get PAST POST OP and you "cheat" I have no issue w/ that . MOST PEOPLE Slip up .. NOT EVERYONE DOES do i On occasion YES . I HAVE ISSUES W/ those who go against medical advice and eat BURGERS AND CRAP days , ect after having a MAJOR MEDICAL Procedure then say " BUT I CHEWED REALLY WELL !!! IF YOUR DOC SAYS TO DO IT YOUR NOT CHEATING I DONT HAVE ISSUES W/ THAT !!!! I HAVE SAID THAT OVER AND OVER . I DO NOT SUPPORT GOING AGAINST WHAT YOUR DOCTOR SAYS !!! PERIOD !! I WONT DO IT . WILL I SUPPORT YOU and tell you that YOU WILL BE OK IF I THINK YOU WILL BE OK YES . WILL I TELL YOU TO MOVE ON GO PAST THIS GO TO THE NEXT DAY YES AND I DO THAT . LOOK AT MY OTHER POSTS !!!!!

BUt im SORRY if someone is making jokes out of this and saying crap like " HA HA I cheated HA HA Im do things my own way i dont follow orders " WHY SHOULD I Feel bad for them ? SERIouSLY ? WOULD YOU ?

that's not the case in this case .

And I will say again too . IF YOU WERE NOT READY TO AT LEAST MAKE A DAMN GOOD ATTEMPT TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE W/ this band then MAYBE It was not the right time !!! If you cant hold off for a few weeks and cant control yourself and follow doctors orders on what you can and cant eat then MAYBE it might not be the right time for your surgery !!!

The people who CONTINUELY try to say "THIS IS OK " are the ones who are NEWLY Banded. Come back in a yr and see if you still feel that way !! im tired of people saying the TRUTH Is NOT SUPPORT !! I treat everyone on this board as I do my friends !!! HONEST and DIRECT Im sorry if its not what people want to hear all the time !!

i understand what you r saying if you take it as a joke then of course they r wrong but in terms of being ready no is ever 100% ready you make the commitment and it's an everyday process i agree u should try your best and not put crap in your mouth but just b/c im a new banded person doesn't mean im gonna change my ways in a yr i agree with alot of what you r trying to say i know that you r trying to help by being honest but with a new banded person they need more support then criticism cause sometimes tough love doesn't work

sometimes a person needs tough love. I am not going to hold someones hand if they are doing stupid crap . Sorry not happening !!

Just because you do not like my "approach" does not mean its wrong.

I also beleieve different people require, needs different kinds of support.SHOULD a person be 100% ready and commited to have the band when they have it ? I BELIEVE SO 100% ABSOLUTELY! Does that mean they are not going to change things and its a slow process ? Of corse things will change. BUT I believe they have to be ready 100% to ATTEMPT to do this or dont do it ?

Just my opinion what do i know ?

The point here to all this is that the original poster has learned her lesson and knows what to do now. From all the posts I have read here on LBT, there have been many people eat far worse and even sooner.

I am not saying doing anything outside your docs orders is ok, because they aren't, but at the same time, all this is new and takes trial and error to get right.Sometimes at a great cost. If WE were ALL able to follow orders, diets, exercise programs, etc in the first place, there would have never been a need for the band.

We are here to support each other and share our own experiences. If we don't help each other, who will? The best thing is to share all of this with your doc and see what he or she thinks. I think the lesson has been learned and support is needed from here on out.

Best wishes to all of you,

Stephanie

I wish everyone success w/ the band . If it was not for this board and this band I would not be 105 pds lighter in a yr than i was this time last yr. I also did not get here by doing it my way .

I will support anyone willing to help themselves.

Im sorry if "my way" seems mean . Its not meant to be .

So Lets just drop this from this point and like smar said move on !!

      Hey everyone!

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
