'Early Days' eating plan.



Recommended Posts

Hi there,

My name is Salena Newport and I had my band fitted just over 2 years ago. I've since lost 12 and a half stone. Yay!!!

I'm currently writing a book about the journey, and I also want it to serve as a concise volume of hints, tips and information about what it's really like to be banded- as opposed to what the 'experts' say it will be like.

The section I'm working on at the moment is about the first days after banding and the different eating 'plans' recommended by the different surgeons.

I would be very grateful if fellow bandsters would be kind enough to let me know their experience of this issue. There are 4 very simple questions I'm interested in.

1. The surgeon's name-this will not be used, I just need it so I don't make duplications.

2. The early days eating plan you were advised to follow.

3. What problems did you have with it? (If any.)

4. How much weight did you lose as a result of that time span?

If you could pm me the answers, or post them here would be great.

I thank you in advance for your help, and hope I haven't broken protocol in asking this question.

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

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
