I know everyone is saying I should still be in a healing phase....im just concerned because 99% of post ive read ppl state they have lost atleast one pound post op 3 weeks later I have not lost 1 pound I have followed the instructions I was given im starting to think ive plateaued because prior to my band placement I lost 50 pounds then another 10 on the pre-op... I have no clue whats going on maybe the fill will help!

I did a pre op diet I lost 10 pounds during it. But I have had an appitie since 3rd day post op I dont think I experienced alot of swelling becuse the only time I felt discomfort is right after surgery other than that nothing...from what I can c my incisions are pretty much healed on the outside my dr was amazed my body healed so much 5days post op :/

So I haven't ate in day so ive been super hungry to the point I feel dizzy n sick so I started to eat different foods other than my liquid diet now I feel 100% better my body is handling the food like it hasn't went through anything... I dont want to over do it so ive been eatting egg drop soup I hope that this wont hurt me in the long run

Yes I had surgery on the 6th tmrw after my dr apt im supposed to move to soft foods tho I havent had any complications at all...my dietitian and nurse practitioner actually gave me a call n told me I should be fine eatting the soup since its so thin

So i violated my pre op deit a little but i guss not much.... protien shakes are just not my thing. So instead I ate fresh fish baked and fried with as a part of my 1 meal a day and I did struggle labor day I ate a bigger meal than I shoukd have but I guess it was ok because I worked it off... liquid diet how ever I passed with flying colors.... my doctor said my liver was perfect and i didnt have to have open ..i lost 10 pounds on my pre op diet itself!!! I wonder how are this gonna be now that I have my band... still have 10 more days of liquid but ill be just fine! Anywho surgery went incredible I fell good!
