little nervous

Beauno,

You are one week behind me in this journey. I too lost weight the week after surgery, but then the weight loss has become somewhat stagnate. 14 poundsd since surgery, 2 pounds in last 10 days...I can eat anything and everything.. if it was not for my 30-40 miles of bike riding and swimming, I would probably be gaining the weight back.. I have the VG band, so I suppose that I have nothing but a straight beeline into my lower stomach. I was at first afraid that my eating i.e. a full bowl of cereal or steak would effect my stomach ( upper pouch).. but no... nothing..

On the other hand, a lady that I had surgery with still couldn't eat anything but a little soup and yogart. She had a smaller band and I'm sure at least some restriction even after the swelling went down.

I thinkthere is an impression out there that everyone experiences the same symptoms after surgery.. I think some can tolerate solid foods faster than three weeks.... the same with exercise...CAVEAT...I DID NOT SAY THEY SHOULD EAT SOLIDS BEFORE DAY 23 OR EXERCISE BEFORE THREE WEEKS... THATS UP TO YOUR NUTRITIONIST AND DOCTOR.

One size does not fit all, and to error on the conservative side is what I expect from my medical team.

Dr. Ortiz answered my exercise question on a Sunday evening... thats service..
