Your weight loss so far is great! I was two weeks post op this past Tuesday (I also had the plication!) and I have only lost 16 lbs post op. I did not loose a single pound this past week at all. Your body is still healing so it may take some time to start seeing the numbers drop. It will happen...in time! I think the plication is a great benefit. I have not had any hunger pains at all since the surgery, whereas I see others start experiencing this and feel like they can eat as much as they did before surgery. Good luck!

I am 1 week post-op for gallbladder removal and plication and a year and a half post-op lapband. I found that with my lap band when you switch from liquid, to purreed you tend to gain a little. I noticed that your choice of mushy was potatoes, instead of this opt for Protein, such as making chicken salad, tuna salad, Egg salad. just make sure that with the chicken and tuna that you grind it up well in a food processor and use a healthy mayo and not a lot of it. and Remember to eat your Protein first. and watch those starchy vegetables like potatos and corn, and eat more green vegetables.

I am ready for mush, but have another week of liquids to go, and I am tired of liquid.< /span>

you can do it the first 4wks was hard for me because I had no education with nutrition. I paid cash for my surg and the surg was all I got no extra info really, now I realize food is not as nessary as I had made it out to be. You will do just fine just stay positive and remember nothing taste as good as skinny feels...lol

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
