In a week and a half...



Recommended Posts

I lost 20 pounds!! I did not have a pre-op diet (just Clear Liquids the day before surgery) and since then I can't believe how much I've lost! I LIVED off carbs before surgery. Some days I would eat literally no protein....it was pretty sad. So I kind of expected to lose a decent amount quickly, but not 20 pounds in 11 days! Just wanted to share!

That is wonderful. And I bet you are so pumped with excitement. I am pre surgery. Am scheduled for early December. I eat carbs and little Protein. What type of foods that are healthy that you cannot eat now with the band?

what a nice jumpstart for you. and I too am a carboholic. i never met a bowl of Pasta I didn't like...lol. that's all changed since the band though. i still have carbs but never more than 1/4 cup. was a time I could eat a half pound of spaghetti at one sitting. sometimes I want to dive into a bowl of pasta, but when I look at myself...down 87 lbs. now, there's nothing better than that. Great job so far!!

use this as motivation to keep on trucking forward esp when/if the loss slow down (and it will)

GREAT job, so happy for you

I'm still in the liquid phase, so I don't know from personal experience. But in the long run you should be able to eat all healthy foods, just a lot less of them!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
