My doctor was very similar. I've lost about 40 pounds since July 20. The weight is coming off slow but steady.

Thanks! I'm 2 months post op . Could it still be from anesthesia?

My hair is falling out like crazy! Even more than it did before I had the surgery. I get about 60 grams of Protein a day. I also take Biotin and a prenatal Vitamin. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

I'm just a few weeks post op and I can say it definitely gets better. For now I would walk whenever you can and sleep/ rest the other time. I stayed on my pain and nausea meds for almost five days!

I was banded on 7/19 as well and I have lost 18lbs and after my dr struggled to do my first fill he told me he wanted me to do better about losing weight. I was so shocked (not to mention in pain) that I just left. This is what I say....if you are losing and you feel good and you are eating healthy that's all that matters!

I had my first fill yesterday. It wasn't a great experience but I feel much better today!

He did my surgery one week ago! Good luck!!!

Excellent! How are you feeling?

Thanks! My dr actually only required clear liquids for 48 hours then I could do other liquids. I haven't been eating much (or drinking) much so maybe that is it. I had some hot apple cider after this post, slept a little more, and now I am drinking a protien shake and I feel ok. I have my follow-up appt. Thursday, I also have the magic nausea cream. Thanks again.

Is it normal to still have nausea five days after surgery? Should I go back on clear liquids?

I know I am ready to move on to the next stage but I definitely don't want to rush it. Are you feeling super hungry?

Hello Everyone! I was just banded 3 days ago. Other than a little soreness I feel totally normally. I am hoping share my success with others who understand. Welcome all! T

Hello Emma! I was just banded 3 days ago. I am still on liquids as you can imagine. I have told some people but no one really understands my decision which is why I am here! Tamikia
