Hello all, it's great to be here! ~
I was just banded on Oct 29 by Dr. Chalk in Everett, WA, self pay, I drove up from Vancouver, Canada. Okay, so my question - I lost 7lbs on a week long liquid diet just prior to the surgery (for the liver shrinking)... but since the surgery, I've put on 5lbs - please somebody tell me this is normal! I've barely been eating/slurping/drinking anything - was constipated for about 6 days until I got some milk of magnesia down me today (fun & games & I can't believe Im talking about this 'in public' so to speak :rolleyes2:). In case people think I'm eating/slurping the wrong things, please believe me when I tell you that Im just having thin small amounts of soup, crystal light, water, sugar free popsicles, jello, yogurt drinks, and thats it.... anybody's feedback would be soooo appreciated.
Cheers, A.
