I'm so sick of reading that. Thank your surgeon, the surgical staff, the person that came up with the concept of the gastric sleeve, etc.!

Good luck

I am 4 weeks post op tomorrow and although I have done everything right, I just ended a ten day stall. I didn't let it bother me.

I had an early stall too after 2 weeks.

Zolfran 4-6 times per day seems problematic. You should definitely talk to your doctor and/or nutritionist.

No it's not the point.

Do you want to feel "I'm stuffed"?

I've read that it takes a few days to get the gherlin out of your system.

Wow congrats! Did you lose all 100 after surgery in November?

It's normal.

I just read your entire blog. You're a real inspiration to those of us just starting out.

I'm almost 3 weeks out and have only hit my Protein goal once.

Yikes. Let us know if you find out the cause. I wear a 40N

No, it's never happened to anyone else.

Very powerful and I can easily see myself feeling this way. <3

Yes, doomed

If you're that scared then don't do it.

Lap-band is reversible so if you regret it, it can be undone.

Why are you crying? What are you nervous about?

All doctors' instructions are different but I can confidently say that at 5 days out, I couldn't have handled more than broth and clear liquids. I had a hernia repair too. Good luck!

Yes, I was like that. Just to clarify, I am still sipping on the 20 ounce Protein drink. I was on Clear liquids for the first 7 days and then full liquids until a couple days ago. Even now I blend my food until its the consistency of baby food or thinner. Your stomach might not be ready for mashed potatoes even if they are thinned with broth so don't push it and be uncomfortable.

I am 2.5 weeks post-op and haven't quite figured it out either. I use a timer on my phone. I eat first thing in the morning and then set my timer for 45 minutes and not drink. When it goes off, I start drinking my water and set the timer for 2 hours 15 minutes. Then I stop drinking and set it for 45 minutes so that there is 3 hours between "meals" and then when it goes off I eat, and so on. I plan my whole day (of meals) in the morning so I know I'll hit my protein. I, personally, am fine if I never have room for more than 4 oz of food. When my husband eats things I can eat, he will give me 2-3 ounces and we eat together :-) Three ounces is my max right now.

Isopure Lemon Green Tea- 20 oz 2 ounces of chili with no Beans (blended) 1 ounce of Fage 2% yogurt 2 ounces of Egg Beater's egg whites Tonight: Atkins Advantage Milk chocolate Delight shake, 11 oz w/unjury Unflavored, 1/2 scoop added to it 2-3 ounces of Fage 2% yogurt with Raspberry Torani sauce I'm only 2.5 weeks out so I still can't eat "real" food.

I didn't have any. You can Google complications to find out more.
