No, that's not rough, that's the complete truth! I've been using sparkpeople.com to track my food everyday and I've been getting in an average of about 950 cals per day. Some days I can only get in about 700 and other days it'll be about 1000, it just depends on the day and how I'm feeling.

I feel like I'm back at 100%! I cannot sleep on my stomach yet, but that's understandable. Your right hip has been hurting? Is it from the gas that they put in the stomach or what?

Ok, so it's only been about 2 weeks (it will be 2 weeks on Friday) since I got my surgery, but I really want a fill to keep myself in check. I started mushies and my weight loss kind of stopped, so I'm hoping a fill will help with that. I know it's only been two weeks, but I'm ready for this weight to come off and I can't do that while I can eat more than I'm supposed to be able to. So has anyone heard of doctors giving fills after only 2 weeks?

Thanks everyone, it's just really hard to wait, and I'm sure all of you know that already.:w00t: I appreciate everyone's reply!

that's awesome! I was nervous before my surgery, but it all went well, so don't be worried! Some liquids I had were broth and different types of soups (watch the sodium content!!) and also those Crystal light things!

I lost 20 pounds in the 2 week pre-op diet, I was really surprised! I think it was the protein shakes that really helped me a lot, Optifast is really filling.

This is all so true! Every time I was down about my weight before I got my band, my skinny friends would be like, "You don't need to lose any weight! You look fine!" I would be like in my mind, "well you don't know how much I actually weigh". People just can't grasp that I have to lose 120 pounds at the least. I tell my friends and they're like, "You would be waaaayyy to skinny! You would die! You would be emaciated!" It's crazy to me how much people don't know how to gauge weights on people!

I agree with kgloverii

I just bought this huge tub from Walmart called "Whey Protein" and I got the vanilla kind and I love it! My doc said that I could do any type of protein shake, just make sure that it has high protein and low carbs!

I keep thinking that I should be hungry by now, like on mushy foods and what not, but I'm just not hungry. I wouldn't mind staying on liquids for more time because if I try to eat mushy foods, I just feel to full after like 2 bites. Like, I'll try to eat some pureed carrots and I can only get one or two spoonfuls in before I get full. Is this normal?

ok good! I was a little worried! Thank you!

hey, girl! ok, so how did your surgery go? They told me I would have some gas pains and stuff and that's totally true, but I'm mostly over them, thank goodness. Also, I'm not hungry at all. Are you experiencing the same thing?

I'm having it done at the Wise Regional Health System Hospital in Decatur. It's really far from where I am, but it where my doctor does his surgeries, so I'm good with it. It's like only 2 years old too. Where are you having yours done?

Hey! I'm getting mine on the 2nd too! I'm really excited! I have a question. How are you doing with the liquid diet? I had to start my yesterday, and it's soooo hard to do!
