Ummm....I can't eat anything or drink anything right now, even Water is hard to get down. I just had a fill 2 days ago. Has this happened to anyone else, and am I too tight? I've lost 10 lbs in 2 days, so I really don't want to go get an unfill.

What do you guys think?

but i really just need to know if this has happened to anyone else.

anyone??????

It happened to me too. You're not alone. I didn't go to the Dr though, I just drank 5 Mt. Dew's and it cured me....all better!

Just eat whatever you want as long as you cream it first ok?

as long as you are loosing (heh) weight, you are fine. liquids are entirely overrated.

SURE! DO whatever you want as long as it is liquid. Try 3 beers a day. You should feel GREAT! :wink:

Is pizza considered a liquid if you chew it very well? I ate pizza the day after my surgery because I was so hungry. I chewed it very well though. I could only eat half the pizza instead of the whole thing, so I know I didn't hurt my band.

Would this be ok for the mushie stage? Couple pieces of pumpkin pie, 6 dollips of whip cream, 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream, Nothing has to be fat free because it's going in the blender, right?

LMFAO! I just read a post that we're all here just to scare people, and blah blah blah, if we spent as much energy on fixing our problems as we do bitching about it, we'd all be happier people. WHATEVER.

I've learned more about the REALITY of life with the band here than I've EVER learned from my surgeon. Don't get me wrong, I love my surgeon, but as far as just getting raw information, this is preferable to calling my surgeon's office every other minute of every other day. Even if we have to sift through a few pages of bullshit to find something useful.

What about vegemite?

OK, what the hell is vegemite, exactly??? I've heard a little bit about it, I've even googled it, but I'm still confused about what the stuff really is....

Yeah that one was ironic to me. Here's an obese person who's not banded, telling us we need to do something to fix our problems. I like that ironic bit of sagery. Like you can "do something" about having a port that's hard to access. Perhaps the OP is a proponent of self-surgery?

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.
