    Breakfast!

    I eat an egg every day for breakfast, sometimes with bacon, sometimes with steak, less often with ham or sausage. Or I will eat a 1/3 cup of omelet with a dribble of cheese, and onion, pepper, mushrooms, avocado, and a bite of fresh tomato. It may have a few calories, but I eat it in the morning and have the rest of the day to adjust my food choices. Haven't tried oatmeal since I have a strong issue of stalling when my carbs go over 20 per day.

    15 Days Post Op

    Forgot to mention there are some weeks I don't loose anything and some weeks where I loose a lot making sure you get in all fluids is a big deal though so even if you have to eat a whole box of sugar free Popsicles so be it just make sure your getting your fluid intake because not getting enough fluid will make your body retain water and make you have water weight on!

    3Days Post op

    Glad to hear you are having a good recovery. I only had a one day stay in the hospital. Walking definately helped in speeding the healing process. It was very hard not to use the stomach during the first weeks. I would have twinges telling me if I overdid it. Just take it easy. I am at 5 weeks and no longer have stomach pain.
  5. Hi everyone! My name is Paula and I had my surgery on the 26th of Sept. It was my very first surgery and I was SUPER nervous. However, it went verry quickly and all over, I am healing very fast. From the two week pre -op liquid diet and post liquid diet, (I am sick of soup/broth), I have lost 16 pounds! I don't know if thats normal but Im not complaining! I haven't had any problems except I had to find out the hard way not to drink carbonated beverages. I'm so excited to start this journey and am even more happy that theres an online support group like this!

    4 days post op

    I started protein shakes yesterday, and that did help some, but after having a cup of broth which takes 30 min or longer to finish, less than an hour later my stomach growls!! I am so afraid of getting something stuck also. I use yoplait vanilla yogurt and I have frozen fruit and bananas that I put in the blender so there are no chunks it's all smooth. I put some ice in the blender too so it's liquid, just a little more filling. Sounds like your diet is more restrictive than mine, but at this point my band is wide open. I don't get a fill until 6 weeks post op. In the hosp I had a thicker broth than I have here and also italian ice. My yogurt kind of reminds me of the italian ice, it's just not frozen. I will definitely keep in touch and keep me posted on your progress as well.

    4 DAYS POST OP

    WOW 2 Miles! Walking is encouraged and needed but man, don't push it! You have wounds inside that needs to close! You will LOVE how you feel in the coming weeks! There are times when you feel a little disappointed that you can't have something, but the weight loss and the all day energy, without crashes is worth it. What was hard for me was about 2 weeks out when I felt great and its easy to forget you had the surgery and you want to eat the things you had been... but intellectually, you know you can't. I'm 48 days and learning a whole new way of eating and its a lot better food than I thought! Take it easy!

    4 days out and feeling full?

    I am on day 13 of my liquid diet and kind of feel the same way. I have to remember to finish my last shake, so I can get my protein in for the day. I want to make sure I do what I am told so things will go well. Next week we begin our journey to a thinner and healthier selves.
  10. I'm like @Jenny12 -- I'm 2 weeks post-op, and I can take water in super fast. I feel like I have no restriction when it comes to liquids, and it's been that way from the hospital (with warm beverages/broth, anyway). When I called in a bit concerned, nurse said it's not abnormal to fell little to no restriction with fluid, but expect a difference with dense protein. I do feel more restriction with something like pudding than something fluid-y. We'll see what the future looks like. My doc used a 38f bought on me.

    5 Day Post Op Journal

    Hang in there I'm three weeks out too and would never know I had surgery except I'm never hungry and can eat very little. I can even drink normally except water, weird. I don't have a bougie though and no drain. Feel better soon! You'll be here soon.

    5 Days Out Of Surgery

    My first 2 weeks was clear liquids only, then full liquids. After that soft foods, then solid. Did you surgeon or Nut give you a plan of what you should do? Peanut butter and crackers seems a little much to me.

    4weeks post op scared of leak

    I thought you could only have a leak up to 2 weeks. Hmmm I'm curious too and pray you don't have one. How is your weight loss?
  14. Every night i lie awake tilll 5 or 6 am, any of you..all go through this, i really don't want to take my pain med to go to sleep,
  15. Hi! On December 30th I had an IVC filter put in because I already had a blood clot and have factor v (clotting disorder). That night I was in terrible pain. Turns out that when the nurse was putting pressure on my groin to close the vein it pinched a nerve. So the week before surgery was painful. I had gastric bypass January 3rd (of course we got snow and it was declared state of emergency so the ride to the hospital was fun). Surgery went very well. Was up and doing laps around the nurses station. They even laughed saying how fast I was going! One week post op I had my first f/u. I was down 20lbs! The surgeon removed the drain and all looked good. The next night I was in terrible pain on the drain site. I went to the ER and I had an infection in the drain site and was very dehydrated. They put me on antibiotics and fluids and admitted me for 2 days. All is better now. The pinched nerve is healed, the infection is gone. I am 3 weeks 2 days post op and down a total of 44 lbs! The surgery was definitely not easy. I was very sore up until recently and get very tired very fast, but I would do it all again! I can't wait until I'm fully back to normal. The only problem now is getting all of my fluids in and figuring out what I can eat...a lot of things I'm trying are not going down so easy.

    An early NSV!

    Hi. Here's an early NSV in my process. I will be in MX for my 35th birthday recovering from surgery. I told one of my staff at work about the liquid diet.... she's a lovely person but 98 pounds so doesn't really "get" it. Anyway, her first comment was "Oh, we'll have to celebrate your birthday early. Do you want to order Michelle's (the best bakery in town) like a week before you guys fly out?" Normally, I would've immediately thought that I should do that and not "miss out" on anything... My NSV is that I realized I have to change my whole attitude toward food. My birthday will not be about celebrating with food. It is not about where we're going for dinner and/or birthday cake. I'll happily put a single candle in my broth and have my sweet little niece (my best friend's daughter...both are going with me to MX) make me a card with little hearts and her best "fancy" handwriting," hug me with the most unconditional love, and tell me happy birthday. Whoohoo! I can celebrate without food. Seems trivial, but I truly believe that for me, it is a NSV. Kelli

    4th week after surgery

    Im on soft mushy foods this week. I talked to my nutritionist and she said try removing dairy from diet. I was eating eggs with milk, tuna with lowfat mayo, and pureed creamed soup with milk. I will see how that goes this weekend. I ate a sweetpotatoe yesterday and that stayed down but i was nauseous and gasy. Thanks for the responses and i will keep you guys posted.

    Here Is My 7 Week Progress Pic

    I know and earlier this week I was having my own private pity party.....until OTR showed me my stats in %.....
  20. ​hi everyone, I'm a newbie to this site but I hope to be able to learn some things and make positive connection here. I am on day two of being off of pureed foods and my wounds are healing well. I am being super neglectful of everything I choose to eat because I don't want any post surgical issues. I'm excited to have lost 18.5 lbs. And look forward to getting to my goal weight! ​Jazer

    4weeks post op scared of leak

    I know that's what I thought but I was told that sometimes you can have the leak but it goes undetected due to the inflammation ! Once that subsides it shows up like no tomorrow , I was revised from the Lapband so I have a higher chance of having one ????my doctor has told me not to worry , I'm getting a test next week just do I can be in peace ! Thanks I need it !

    5 days out

    Welcome to the forum Chris and congratulations on your surgery! The first week or two following the surgery can be challenging but I think you'll be surprised at how quickly the pain resolves itself and when you see those pounds melting away - everything else will become nothing more than a distant memory! You're gonna love the new you!!
  24. I started my journey to surgery on June 1, 2012. My insurance started covering the surgery in May and I was told I had to have 6 medically supervised visits. I started the process with my PCP and then switched to the surgeon who would do my surgery. I've known him for 6 years since I work in a hospital. I was very disappointed in the customer service at his office and decided to switch at month 5. Good thing I did! I found out that my policy changed and I only had to have 3 visits, found a new surgeon with excellent customer service and who does the sleeve (first surgeon only does band) and now the ball is really rolling. I will also be able to have the surgery at a hospital that I don't work at, which is a huge relief for me personally. I am tentatively scheduled for 11/27/12, pending insurance approval. I have met all the requirements, done all the pre-op, medically cleared, so I hope for a quick approval as that has been the case for others with my employer / policy. Now I am anxious about my diet. The surgeon told me today that I need to lose 20-30 pounds before my surgery date. He would like me to be on a liquid diet until that time. I have the OK to continue Protein shakes that I had already started but need some suggestions. I hate the taste of anything with artificial sweeteners. That leaves out anything "sugar free" for me. I will gladly eat something without sugar and drink Water forever if faced with an artificial sweetener. Does anyone have any suggestions for other things to eat that do not have artificial sweeteners? TIA for any suggestions!

    5 Days Post Op

    I lost 10 pounds in the first week, then it stopped. It takes most people 2 - 4 fills to notice the help of the band. Before that it is just hard dieting. It is called banster hell by many and I would agree. I am 8 weeks post opt and now at 5.6 cc and finally feel like I have a band. Before I could eat anything and felt hungry alot. I followed the rules best I could and ate small meals slowly. But it was hard until the band started working for me. Once your swelling goes down, dont be suprised to feel like you have not even had surgery. It is disappointing and frustrating. But once though banster hell, the weight will starting falling off. If I could give you any advice, I would tell you to follwo the rules best you can and put the scale away for at least one month. You will drive yourself crazy the first few weeks. At least I did. I finally put it up and decided to only weigh at Dr appts until I got to green zone. Best of luck.
