You've lost the 42 lbs since the surgery alone?. Sorry for the questions, im just curious about others weightloss resullts :tt2:

well my seminar was on the 3rd of may and my surgery was june 4th. So mine took about a month. It all depends on what you need to get done. I already had 6 months of dieting documented from weight watchers and i was able to get my physical and phsych evals done pretty quickly.

OK so heres my place so far lol, i was banded on june 4th and have had a pretty speedy recover. i was swithced the pureed foods after 4 days and was told i would be starting mushies on the 27th. Yesterday i a a few bites of salad and chewed to the point of exhaustion so i was able to handle it. Today we had a fathers day dinner and i was absolutely horrible. Myh portions werent a problem but im thinking i shouldnt have advanced myself without doctors approval. I had a tiny peice of chiken with Pasta , a very small amount compared to my old eaTING Habits, BUT then i had a sundae when everyone was having dessert. I know i should of said no. But i guess i failed this 1st mini test... Do you think this has ruined the placement of my band at all. i felt slight pressure while eating the real food but it wasnt unbareable. I just ate VERY slowly and paced myself... Im kinda demotivated after this little event.

Tell her to try Isopure protein shakes, When you mix 2 scoops with water you get 50 grams of protein for only 210 calories. Im not too fond on the taste when mixed with water though but if you need it, its definety better.

i never had a pre-op diet. i was only told to start clear liquids the day before, So i guess all docs have different reasons

Hello, I actually have the same surgery date as you!! Dont let it get to you, My port pain is getting less and let me tell you it feels muuuchhh better lol... And my doctors diet is a bit different so im already on pureed foods but once you're there its not as tough.... do what i do... just keep telling yourself how awesome you;ll look once you reach goal lol GOOD LUCK!!

mine just asked me general questions about my moods and if i get sad easily. they also ask you about your family life and if you've had any bad experiences with abuse and what not

Thanks for the ideas. Doesnt it taste weird tho? with pureed eggs or chicken? like do they loose there taste when there a different texture???... i know that sounds dumb.. i think im just a but iffy on the idea of eating blended eggs and tuna etc yet?

So, my doctor recommends i have 69 grams of protein a day. I started eating pureed foods today and im starting to think ok if i have pureed foods, how am i gonna fit in the protein shakes?? because 65 grams worth of shakes is like 2 meals. Does anyone know of any other ways to have protein? like pills at all???

thankss, that made me feel better lol. The bandage though? am i supposed to hve taken it off? i got my surgery wednesday. it still hasnt fallen off yet?

Thanks Guys, And to MY Lap Got bigger, I see you lost 31 lbs aleady? IS that since your surgery??

Thanks for the quick responses. Ive been having some random pains and the bruise just worried me further. Hope it goes away soon :wink2:

Hi, I had my surgery yesterday, im holding up pretty well all in all... Did anyone ever experience bruising around their incisions, One of mine is starting to form a big purple bruise around this.. IM kinda worrried and my next dr appointment isnt for another 2 weeks... Any helps appreciated
