So frustrated!



Recommended Posts

Am I the only one who isn't losing weight? I haven't lost in almost a year! I lost about twenty-five before the surgery and about fifteen after. I have been out a year August 27. I had knee surgery on July 2014 and will have my second knee done on October 29th! I hopefully will be able to finally exercise now! I am using my portable bike now and doing therapy which has helped. Thanks for your feedback!!

You speak nothing about your band, how many fills, has it effected your eating/appetite...

I know for me, I was fat because I could not control my eating....I ate waaaayyy too much. So I had surgery to fix all that, which it did....why else would I go through all this???

I'm old school....I believe less calories, more weight lost......

My surgeon says that exercise accounts for only about 10% of wt loss, the rest is food.< /p>

If we are not in the green zone we are just on a diet -- and we know how well that works! Time to meet with the surgeon to assess for a fill. I am a person who thought at first I wouldn't need a fill (did not have hunger post-surgery for a few weeks) then I've have had seven or more to find my "sweet spot." It's a moving target -- got to work with it.

I have had multiple fills to reach my sweet spot so hopefully this will help you. Make sure you are really measuring all of portions. For me, I found that I overfill my plate unless I use measuring tools.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
