Caffeine is a stimulant and that includes the appetite.

I lost a son-sized amount from my body!

You've reached an awesome goal. Congratulations. It helps me also to visualize what certain pound amounts are equivalent to. -

Welcome. Congratulations on making a great decision for your health.

I actually gained 2 pounds immediately post-op, held on to that weight for 5 days and then dropped 5 pounds in a day. The weight will come off!
-
Sounds like you are doing well.....keep it up!

I'm exactly 1 week post-op and feeling pretty good today. My belly is soft. I still have some shoulder discomfort. I have no desire to eat or drink, but I can now drink my fluids without dreading it. I'm still on Clear Liquids for the next week. How are rest of you doing?

Are you working with a nutritionist?

I'm one week post-op today and for the first time, actually felt like getting up out of bed today. It IS major surgery and all of our innards have been manipulated and need time to recover. I still have gas pain, no appetite and no energy, but it really does get better each day. Stay in touch for positive input.

I'm 1 week post-op today and still on clear liquids and skim milk. I don't start any pureed food until 2 weeks out.

What has happened to my taste buds? I'm 6 days post-op and nothing tastes the same to me, even water! When will my sense of taste return to normal?
-
Post-op day 6. Less bloated. Still no desire for food. Still some shoulder and back discomfort. Incisions look great. Struggling to get in enough fluid and protein. After gaining 2 pounds post-op and retaining it for days, the scale has dropped 6 pounds.
-
Congratulations. You are an inspiration.
-
Congrats! It really does make the post-op diet a bit easier. I'm on my 7th day of post-op clear liquids.....7 more to go! We can do this.

6 days after banded and still not getting back on my feet.

I was also banded on Monday. I still have gas issues, shoulder and back pain. I am passing intestinal gas after doing my share of walking. My doc still has me on clear fluids which I am thankful for. I do feel like I must take it slowly. I don't think the gas issue is unusual. What kind of diet are you on? Do you have medication for nausea? -
Felicia, I'll pray for your approval. Let me know how it goes. What type of pre-op diet do you have? I had none, but I'm glad I self-imposed one, because I dropped 10 pounds before the surgery. You can do this!

Finally banded yesterday

Congrats! I was banded on Monday. Each day DOES get better. The heating pad works for the shoulder or back pain. I too, am trying to take as little pain med as possible. It WILL constipate you. We can do this. -
Post-op day 4. Still some shoulder pain. No hunger. Feeling bloated. Very tired of clear fluids and I'm on them for 2 weeks! Still happy.
-
Glad to hear I'm not alone. I'm also bloated and have a hard time, sometimes painful, burping.
-
My surgery was Monday and I still have a very bloated belly. I still have pain in my shoulder and back. I'm looking more like 7 months pregant.
-
I've no desire to drink anything. I trying very hard to get in enough Fluid.
