Hey everyone...i'm soo upset. I will be 2 months post op on June 16th 2013. My birthday is June 14th. This friday. I only lost 17 pounds. I've been eating a lot of fast food lately. I feel like a failure. I've been telling my mind ok tomorrow we are starting the diet. When it comes down to it i just let my self go. I feel like i have no restraints in my intake. I'm so upset at my self I feel like i've let my self down. There was no point of me going through the pain and i should of gotten the sleeve instead. I feel like a loser. Any advice on to what i should do?

I haven't had my fill yet because the doctor didn't want to do it. I don't eat enough and i had an appointment with him at 2pm and i spent the whole day without eating sometimes i have to force myself to eat because i don't get hungry.

Its normal, you only 3 days post op. i couldn't even sit down. I'm two weeks by the way and i absolutely love it. Had rough days but it gets better. Just walk. It will relieve the pain and keep taking your narcotics it helps. Just keep checking you temp and incision site, the biggest one. Good luck, and congrats

Hey, everyone! I am 2 weeks post op. i did something horrible yesterday. I ate a bacon egg and cheese sandwich but i only took two bites out of the roll. I feel soo upset and Guilty. Good thing is that i can tolerate bread. I love subway and i really do stop myself from going to buy a 6 inch especially because i just got banded. I don't know what to do. I'm on the mushy phase until may 21st. I lost 10lbs since surgery and i haven't lost anymore. I go back to work on may 31st. I want to look fabulous for my birthday June 14. I weigh currently 257 i want to atleast weigh 199lb for my birthday. My 21st birthday! Please someone help me!!! I don't know what to eat!!!!!!

It will be disappointing to spend my 21st birthday still in the obese category. I really wanted to go all out there and buy things i've always wanted to wear. But i guess i just have to move on. Especially because my birthday is in june. The beginning of summer. Very very upsetting. I'm so upset and disappointed. :'(

I hope. I really do. Thanks ???Š

Hey everyone, I need help. I had surgery the 16th of april. I have really bad gas pains I got discharged yesterday. I took Gas X for the gas pains but i'm still having a lot of pain. Also my biggest incision opened up while i was at the hospital they glued it back together but i'm scared that it might open up again from the consent bending and getting up from bed. I'm scared that it might get infected. What should i do? Also Can i drink BOOST for a Protein drink? I've been drinking Isopure but the after taste is nasty. Any suggestions please i would truly appreciate it.

Yes its normal! Lol i'm still bloated! Its because of all the air you have inside. Just make sure your incisions don't become infected if they do, call your surgeon and go to the hospital! Also check your temp, make sure you don't have a fever over 100. If you do go to the ER!!!

Thanks xoxo

Thank you i feel sooo much better than that day! Time! Time heals everything!

Not every doctor gives a pre op diet. I was suppose to follow a two week pre op liquid diet but i didn't do that. Therefore i didn't loose anything.

I am 2 days post op as well. The gas pain is the worst but it gets better and better. I was having an emotional break down yesterday because i didn't know what my body wanted. I was getting the gurgling sounds from my intestines but it was gas. Tried taking gas X does not work by the way. Bought heat pads and placed them where my pain was located and the gas slowly started to leave. On the day of surgery one of my incisions opened up. The biggest on of course. They closed it up with surgical glue that they use. I'm still looking out for it. But they told me that as long as it doesn't ooze out any puss or get very red its fine. I also had a bad reaction to the pain med that they provided me at the hospital. Morphine was not a good company to me. I ended up pulling my own IV out lol, i couldn't take it anymore. Other than that i made a perfect decision. Everyone says that it gets better and better. Well i started off on a bad foot but i'm working my way up to perfect! Everything takes time. Best decision i ever made. Good luck to you and congrats!!!!!

I didn't do a pre op diet like i was suppose to. But i got banded the 16th of april which was tuesday and i lost already 3lbs. It depends whether you did a pre-op diet or not. If you did then you will loose slowly, if you didn't then prepare your self because you will be loosing a lot soon.

Hey, my doctor just told me i should be on a purred diet. I am eating tuna fish, jello, pudding and greek yogurt. As far as for protein im drinking Isopure. 40grams of protein in a 20oz bottle. 0 carbs. My doctor is not that strict on to what i should eat. He just said make sure all foods are purred and easy to swallow and chew slowly. Hopes this helps!!! Good luck!

Hopefully !!!
