Day 14 - 2 weeks out!! I've lost 14 lbs! I am averaging about 500 calories a day and trying to get this Protein in. I'm getting about 44-50 grams in mainly in the form of Protein shakes and Greek yogurt. I went back to work today so that's a bummer lol I'm still getting sleepy during the day. Feel like I need a nap. Noticed my scrubs are a lil big on me today. I bought em when I was 40 lbs heavier though. I'm still having the problem of food going straight through me when everyone else is saying they are constipated. U would know I'd be different! I want Mexican food for some reason lately. Idk why cause nothing really is sounding all that great except Mexican. Maybe it'll be a refried bean, enchilada aside and bit of cheese night! I'm a couple of days late on this post cause day to day stuff seems a bit Boring.

wow that's the same as me! Same weight going in and everything. Except with my revision, and hernia repair, I also got my gallbladder removed. I was so ready for that band to come out.

maybe the hospital really pumped you up with fluids? Cause I highly doubt u are able to get much in right now. If u don't already have a my fitness pal account, definitely get one so you can track everything easily. I'm sure you are going to do just fine though!

it doesn't to me but maybe I'm just half starved lol I've tried several of the different Greek yogurts and other than healthy choice frozen, this is the only one I really like.

they had several flavors. Be sure to look on the back for the sugar in each one. This was for the choc/peanut butter one. They had one with raspberry and dove chocolate too. Sounds sinful lol

I love those too lol but can't keep em frozen at work. They are such a treat. Idk how many g of protein are in there though cause I haven't had any since before surgery. Blueberry was my favorite.

hi! You have to buy it on their website Unjury.com but it's worth it. I'm 2 weeks out today and I've lost 14 lbs so right at a pound a day so cool! I know it'll slow down but in enjoying it for now

can u have yogurt minus the crunchies? I was allowed yogurt on full liquids but I had to do clear liquids before surgery.

2 weeks. The crunchies are tiny and NUT said as long as I chew enough that they disappear it's ok. The yogurt is yummy without em too though.

it has 11 g of sugar

I feel great! And I'm down 13 lbs couldn't be happier about that! And it's almost your turn wooohooo

I think Unjury protein shakes taste the best. If u go online and get some sugar free syrups those are good mixed in. When I did low carb all the time I would mix Cherry flavor in with the chocolate. Love that taste combo. I drink a lot of power aid zero too different flavors but it he liquid stage definitely gets old. Maybe on the sub forum called food and nutrition, u can find more ideas. I've gotta check it out myself.

Day 12- 209lbs Highest weight 249 lbs in June 2013 Lost the required 25 lbs by September Surgery day Dec 30th 222lbs 12 days later 209lbs I'm down 13 lbs in 12 days since surgery! Since starting this journey back in June I am now 40 lbs lighter!!!!!! That's the most i could get out of my band in ten years!! And this journey has just begun! Sooooo excited!!

whoah! Do tell!! Umm if u want.... Lol sounds like an incredible story. So glad u made it though. If it's horrible and will really upset you then you don't have to talk about it.

I'm only 11 days out and it really does get better. Well today wasn't so hot but days 1-7 were super hard to get fluids in. I'm still working on it. I just take my power aid zero with me. I think it was around day four that the pain was pretty well gone though. Had it all the way in my shoulder and back too. Hang in there better days ahead! It's just such a change with lots to learn.

Deb- that's usually how I do it too but I was trying to shake things up a bit lol but the pasty texture just sat there like cement and I think the milk sat on top. Won't be trying that again for awhile lol back to shakes

Oh man I just mixed up a scoop if protein powder with two tbs of peanut butter. Smashed it all together with a fork and then rolled it into balls. Saw that on here one time. I had two balls and they tasted yummy then drank a glass of milk about 20 mins later. I know I'm supposed to wait longer but the peanut butter got me. I just got so sick off that! Idk why cause I've had the protein powder and peanut butter several times. Maybe it clogged up in there idk but I don't like puking so no more. Ughhhhhh

Idk but I tell you it is fascinating! I mean even in a deep sleep you can tell that time has passed. You may not know how long you've been asleep but you have a sense of time. When we are put under, where do we go? Why are their no dreams? There is literally just nothingness.

Day 10- 211lbs I know this won't last forever but dayam!!! Dropping a pound or more a day is just unreal !! Weird thing is everything tastes off... Not sure if this is normal or not. Stuff I normally like tastes yucky now. Not that I've tried much but just the Soups I normally liked are ick. Took a sip of Starbucks which is normally my crutch and ewwww acidy and super strong! Didn't even want it. Only thing that tastes good right now is the refried Beans, enchilada sauce, and sprinkle if cheese. My peanut butter/choc Protein shake isn't too bad either.

so glad you are doing well. That bloated feeling sux though hopefully it won't hang around long

holy smokes that's incredible! So glad u are doing well, it can only get better from here!

lol yeah I was steadily getting mad maybe he saw it and decided to turn it around lol I really didn't wanna body slam anyone hahaha

my mothers dog has severe arthritis I feel so bad for him. I'm getting some!! Thank u! And Sammy thanks u lol

oh wow really? He never said not to take anything hmmm this warrants a call for sure. Thank u.

I think he was just a nut case lol still took me by surprise that he would be so personal. Thanks for the website I will check that out.
