Did Anyone Gain Weight Postop
kah1213 replied to happygirl64's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Totally normal! Don't worry! -
What you've described is normal. I could barely eat for the first week. By the time I went to my 1 month post op appointment, I felt like I could eat way too much. Everyone here calls it bandster hell.

Banded on a Tuesday and went back to work on Monday. It wasn't too bad, but I was tired a little. -

Can you try scrambled eggs? Stick with super soft goods for now as you're still healing. Also, cottage cheese is good. Can you email your doc if you can't get him on the phone?

kah1213 replied to puppyphat's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
yes, i totally did this...it's not a good idea, but i'm being honest that yes, i went thru the same thing. i felt like it was my "last hurrah" for the month before suregry. well, i am 5 weeks post op and doing well. it's definitely a mental thing and something i talk about with my therapist. I just wanted you to know you're not alone! -

I was on my pre op diet over memorial day weekend so I totally understand. It's hard, but it's only 1 day and with some planning you will be ok. Good luck!

What you're feeling is totally normal. I got my band with gastric plication in May. Sometimes I eat things that don't agree with me. Every day is a learning process. Overall I'm feeling pretty good and looking forward to losing more weight. This site has been really helpful for me and it's great support! Good luck.
