I Can Eat Everything 7 Days Post Lap Band Surgery, Is This Normal?



Recommended Posts

Stay encouraged, don't let your surgery be in vain. There's a lot of encouraging people on this board as well as discouraging people and I truly believe the positive people out weigh the negative people. We know it's easy said than done, and I plan to find out for myself come the new year. I've been educating myself about the procedure and the after care. Maybe you should talk to your dietitian and get some pointers. I wish well :)

Wow, I can't believe your even eating all these foods already with no complications or not .

I was told from my dr and nutritionist weeks 1 and 2 liquids, then weeks 3 to week 11 1/4 cup of soft foods (which will take me to around February 9th)

Just because your getting these things down , doesn't mean anything .... You need to let your body heal .. The first month or so is all about HEALING , not losing weight .

Im new too , but I've researched the band for over 2plus years and know it's not good to be eating these foods or eating EVERYTHING, you can stretch your pouch out or cause slippage .

Are you seeing a dietician ? I am and I have a menu she gave for me to follow if you like , I can share it with you ? Thats why were all here , to help each other .. Inbox me . Good luck to you and take it easy ...

FYI, YOU SHOULD STILL BE ON liquids !!!

I too am ABLE to things that I am not supposed to. I have tried to keep that at a minimum ...except for the holiday work goodies and the eggdrop Soup from the Chinese restaurant. Today I simply recommitted to getting back on track. I am considering everyday to be day one....we can do everything for one day, right?

I am ravenously hungry but I imagine that is b/c I have NOT been drinking my Protein. I have not been able to keep it down until I purchased new ones this week. I find that it has been easier to control myself since I have been back on the shakes. We made this commitment to ourselves b/c we wanted to be achiever our highest good. We all KNOW what we are supposed to be doing... just like we KNEw what to do do lose the weight before the band. It's up to us to DO now.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
