You all look so good, it gives me hope for the future.
My highest weight was 320.
The day I had surgery I was 294.
2 weeks post op and 270.

That is 50 pounds, that is righteous in mine, and any other! Congratulations my friend!😝

It’s great, can’t wait to lose more. I just don’t feel like I look like I’ve lost that much.

[BadWolf523 196]

It’ll take time but that’s ok.

So what’s the word on bananas? I don’t see it anywhere on my food lists, but was wondering if a mashed banana would be ok on puréed

[Elizabeeth 37]

I was told no on fruits

[BadWolf523 196]

I’m still in my liquid phase and my doctor okayed me to blend them in my shakes

Anybody have pain that comes and goes in small incremental cycles on right side? I have my biggest incision under but its like a dull pain sometimes...

That was where the worst of my pain was. I also had a huge dent in my tummy. I’m 3 weeks out and I still get pain there.

Yes ! I have a dent too! My mom who had an abdominal surgery way different than gastric bypass says she also had pain there for a while.. something about the fact that they mess around in that area it stays sensitive

I was told no whole fruits for 3 months! Only cooked or canned fruits even if blended.

@Jbyerly101 I was told that when you get to puréed stage only bananas would be ok everything else would be rough on you
