The good Lord gave you a body that can stand most anything. It's your mind and motivation you have to convince. You must begin to think of yourself as becoming the person you want to be. Let that person who is inside come out and see the world. Take it one day at a time. Happy Holidays. PS: Update me on your progress and visit my web page As My World Turns

Can't follow my diet
So_it_goes replied to RUready4me's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Hello. I never had to do the protein shake part for any pre or post op. I did however hear of one man putting coffee with a chocolate protein shake to make a mocha of sorts. Best wishes!:frown: -
Hello! I started back at the gym 2 weeks after surgery. I was on clear liquids for the first 2 weeks...which made me nervous to get back into my workout. From what I have read... jaciqltz is correct, Walk, walk, walk. I prefer to sweat in the gym. So, the treadmill is a great way to start. It is wise to take it easy at first. Build up... :thumbup: Good luck!

Hi So_it_goes,
For some reason I just now found your message and would be happy for you to add me as a friend. I am not real good at navigating this site yet....so I guess that is why I didn't notice this message from you..I am sorry about that!!
I may be out of touch for a few days as we are taking a little trip to OK. Don't know if they will have WiFi where we are going. Hope they do, as I would hate to be away from this forum for a whole week!!!
Anyway, hope all is well with you. To answer your question, my appt went well and I have one to get a fill on 10/06. How are you doing?
Take care,
Diana

14th day of clear liquids post op...

Thanks for the feedback everyone! At the pre-op appt the Dr.'s office gave me a packet. It said " after surgery you will be on clear liquids until you see the Dr. for your first post-op appt. Usually 1 week." This same packet was what I went over with my dietitian a month pre-op.... the "Usually 1 week" was emphasized. After surgery, while is recovery I asked the Doctor when is my first post-op appt. He said "2 weeks". At the time, I was ok with the 2 weeks clear liquids...as I know that sacrifices are made for the band to work. :thumbup: The 2 weeks just got very hard... and when i called the Dr's office yesterday.... the assistand agreed with me that the packet was correct and I then asked " so at my first post-op appt, tomorrow, the Dr. will let me eat something other than broth"... he said yes. Could I have could I have said more to clarify... sure. But I thought I understood. And I'm also a bit insecure about food, my weight...so, I'd feel weird asking to eat.... But that's my thing. :thumbup: Thanks again all! 17 days clear liquids, down 17lbs. Let's all cross our fingers I won't gain it back now that I can eat puree.. :mad2: that would not be good! :thumbup: Cheers! -
14th day of clear liquids post op...
So_it_goes replied to So_it_goes's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Hello Again All!! Thinin10, I could use to follow ur plan of making yourself a priority. :thumbup: It's so easy to get caught up in the day to day "stuff". Wanted to follow up with you guys after my Doc appt. The manual I got before banding said "clear liquids until you have your first post-op appt with your doctor, usually a week". When I asked my Doc when my first post op appt would be he said 2 weeks. My understanding was clear liquids till u see good ol doc. :mad2: I went in to see my Doc. He said I was only supposed to be on clears for 1 week then puree. lol I even called the office yesterday and got the same... until you see your doc. clear liquids....usually 1 week. In any event....I made it thru 17 days of clear liquids!! & :thumbup: I'm on puree for a few days then soft foods. :thumbup: I have my second post-op appt scheduled in 2 weeks for my first fill! YAY! How was your appt DiananG? -
