Not a joke, I also lost quite a bit in my first two weeks. If you stick close to the diet prescribed by your dr. things should work out great. Congrats on a great start

That is great! Before surgery, I would gain up to 8 pounds for that time of the month. I am so happy for you!

Hi Jenna, good for you----11 lbs. wowee. I got banded on 3/22 and lost 6 1/2 lbs. since I got home from the hospital. That is an accomplishment for me, believe me. I started on pureed foods on monday, and am having a hard time getting all my Water in. Could that be why I am hungry again after 3 hrs. of my meal? And also the reason my weight loss wasn't as great as yours, right? I will try today to drink more water. I am doing that now, before my coffee and Breakfast. It is just hard planning my meal, and when to stop drinking. I have never been on a schedule before for eating. Also, any ideas on soft foods for this week? I pureed roast beef last night-no problems with any PB, but it is early.

Thanks everyone.... ((blushes)). And this weight loss has me itching at the seams to get out there and exercise to speed it up!! I want to lose more more more!! But alas, I have to wait for at least 3 weeks before going to do heavy exercising like running.

I LOVE MY BAND!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
