Sleeved 11/9. Feeling so much better. I felt like I turned a corner this Tuesday. Pretty jealous of eating chicken. I get to puree food next week and then REAL food the next. Excited to be on this journey and glad there are others with me!

I was sleeved the 9th. I'm feeling pretty good so happy I'm getting to eat a little. I'm down 16 lbs so far. I'm not really doing the puréed food. So if I have chicken I cut it very tiny and chew it real good. Everything seems to be going down.

I had surgery the 9th too. I'm feeling so hungry also drained and tired. Today I ate a little Greek yogurt and it helped a little meaning maybe 4 spoonfuls in 6 hours. Im not sure it was a good idea but it did help me a little with the hunger. I'm not a caffeine drinking so no headaches.

Congrats your doing great. Keep up the good work

I started at 230 now 156. Oct 25 will be a year

Thanks guys

Thanks guys

So it will be 5 months the 25th and I lost 38lbs still not restricted. It was stressing me out until I started thinking I lost what a 4 yr old weighs. So now when I see a little kid walking around I'm amazed that I lost one of them lol.

unjury.com . . . Their chicken Soup is awesome' date=' also![/quote']

Thank u I will check it out

Yeah' date=' that's what my doctor says! I bought the unflavored unjury and I just toss a scoop in just about anything I eat (soup, potatoes, tea, cream of wheat, crystal light etc.) so it's easy for me to get my Protein in that way! I was on shakes prior to surgery, so after the surgery I was tired if them and had to find another way. Plus, adding Protein to actual food is more filling that just a drink, which goes straight through your band. It keeps you fuller for longer![/quote']

I never heard of Unjury can I ask where do u buy it?

U will do fine I had mine removed 10 yrs ago. Good luck and I hope u have a speedy recovery

I do u fill after your fill!!

I still have no restrictions I guess I'm one of the people that it's going to take a couple of fills before I feel restrictions. I'm happy I'm down 20lbs since 10/28. How do u feel?

My second fill is next Tuesday on the 4th

My doctor puts me in liquids for 24 hrs after the fill .....

Then one day of mushiness foods then back to normal ...

I have a friend that goes to Mexico for her fills and she's allowed to eat right after to make sure she's not to tight.... It all depends on the doctor I guess!

I think my doctor does the same as urs. Thank u

First fill Monday 3cc' date=' just liquids 48hrs.

I love my Dr., no pre-op liquid diet, no drawing out the fills diet.LOL

True, the procedure itself was no big deal.[/quote']

Ok it's so funny how every Dr. Is different. Thank u. Everyone's feedback is so helpful.

My first fill was Tuesday. No big deal by the way. I was nervous for nothing! My dr put me on Clear Liquids for 24 hrs after the fill. Then 2 days of Protein shakes then 2 days of mushies then back on solid food after that. I am very hungry today Just doing shakes. Just to warn you. Good luck

Thank u. Good luck to u too

Hi can someone tell me the day of ur first fill do u go on a clear liquid diet? Then start a different stage everyday?

Can you imagine???

9 months ago I felt like it would be a long long hard journey.... And boy was it ever! Here I am' date=' 5 fills later, 2 small unfills, a couple nights of reflux, a couple of stuck episodes, but all damn worth it. I weigh what I weighed in highschool....18 yrs ago!!!!!!

You guys have guided me, advised me, and encouraged me every step of the way. If I never lose the 2.6 lbs... Oh well. Lololol I'm extatic anyways!!!!!!

BTW..I plan on wearing this dress to my hubby's holiday party..... Can't wait!!!!!!!

Wow amazing

I have a question for you. You seem to be a veteran bandster...lol. My doctor told me after my surgery. That I should be able to drink a cup if Water. He said the band is just on. But' date=' I felt some restriction afterwards. Now! I can eat like I use to before surgery. Just not as much. I can't wait until my first fill. The second week of December.. What u think?[/quote']

Hi I had surgery on oct 25th and I'm able to eat too I go for my first fill on nov 29th can't wait. I'm happy to know I'm not alone. I'm also able to exercise but I really can't wait to have the restriction when eating.

I was banded the 26th and feel the same way. I get to go on purred foods In a couple days thank god lol

Lol I know I feel the same way. Thank u at least I know I'm not alone.

I am getting banded tomorrow' date=' from what I have read you won't feel very restricted until after your first fill. But sticking to the liquid diet and following the postop diet instructions is probably best.

Good Luck in your journey![/quote']

Thank u the same to u

So I had surgery oct 25 and now I feel so good like I never had surgery. I'm sticking to the liquid diet but I feel like could eat anything and it would go down is this normal?

I also go alone.... In' date=' out, BAM. I'm in there maybe 10 min at the most..... And I'm 10 lbs from goal!! Yay![/quote']

Congrats that's great
