how long did you wait for real food?
kbell2011 replied to renewed_mind's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
It is very medically necessary to follow the post op diet to a T! Your doctor wouldn't give the post op instructions if you could really have solids within days or even weeks after a surgery like this. You chewed it up well and nothing happened? What if something would've happened... Is it worth the chance of SERIOUS complications? I would think not. -
At True Results Houston, that's part of the package. If you have a hernia, they do the repair while the do the band SX. I had one and it was repaired. Don't let the doctor talk you into something you don't want to do- especially when it comes to something like this.

Almost embarrassing....
kbell2011 replied to ChloeHouston's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Don't be embarrassed! No one outside out you, your doctor, and a couple family members have to know! You have such an advantage being so young and making the decision to become healthier (and happier!!) using the band as a tool! I'm 27, still young!, and am so happy knowing that I have my whole life ahead of me! You and I may not remember what life was like being heavy 30, 40, 50 years from now! Good luck and keep your head up!! -
8 days post op. and feeling helpless.

I drank (and still do a couple times a week) GNCs Total Lean (ready to drink!) chocolate Swiss. I love them! They have a chocolate milk consistency so no chalky, bland, think texture to worry about! Good Luck! -
Is the pre-op diet a bit extreme?

By the way, they are a chocolate milk consistency... So no chalky, bland taste! -

I'm curious- what is your daily calorie allowance? What is an example of your day? (Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and any snacks)

Thanks for the replies! I have been doing well... Banded April 29, have had 3 fills putting me at 6.5ccs, and have lost 56 lbs (pre-op included) I just wanted to make sure I was eating enough, sounds like I am- 1000 or less. I like the ideas for meals, too. :-)

I'm consistent with 5 days a week. 3 of those days are CrossFit and the other 2 are either walking or a bike ride.

So, I'm feeling "naked" at the moment and 8pm can't get here fast enough! I dropped my wedding ring off earlier to get sized! After losing 60 lbs, it had to go from a 5.5 DOWN to a 4.5! Yay!! The small things are exciting, too!!!
