Band To Tight

Hi guys I took your advise...went to the doctor and told him that I've had problems for approximately two months keeping food down. The first thing he did was have me have an X-Ray which showed that my band was still intact...so then he said it is probably to tight so he released some of the fluid. I can't tell you how good it feels to be able to eat normally and not get sick, I've been able to get my protein in today and I really feel great. Thanks again for the advice!!!!!!

Having A Difficult Time

Hi guys I have been having a really difficult time keeping most foods down. I usually have my protein shake for breakfast and lunch and maybe a 1/2 cup of greek yogurt. I have been making a vegetable soup with chicken stock and I can keep it down some days. I'm afraid that something may be wrong with the band but I have't gone to the Doctor for fear that I may not continue to lose weight. I'm down 60 lbs since 4/24/2012. I'm getting so tired of not being able to eat food, and I mean healthy

Expectations Of Others !!!!

Has anyone experienced that others have expectations of how much weight you should have loss. It makes me feel like I've failed them someone. I am ok with losing 24 lbs in 5 weeks. I know that once I really get serious about exercising the weight will come off. I knew from the beginning that the weight loss would be much slower than the gastric bypass. Any suggestions as to how to handle this ?????

Day 9 Post- Op

Its been nine days since my banding. I feel well other than one of my incisions is very sore and painful. I don't know how anyone else is feeling is this normal or should I be concerned. I have my first Doctor's appt. on Monday. I also notice that I am able to eat more than initially. Before I would have my 4 oz serving and feel full, now thats not happening - I will not be able to get my first fill until 4 weeks post-op. Did anyone get a stomach band that was placed on you after recovery, and

First Weekly Weigh In

Ok banded on Tuesday 4/24/2012, Pre surgery weight 307 weight on surgery date 296, my weight on today was 290, a total of 17 lbs since two weeks prior to surgery and a total of 6 since my surgery. Being as heavy as I am I was in hopes of larger numbers but I will take it. This week I will make sure I get all my protein, water and exercise in and see what my numbers will be next wednesday. I wish everyone out there on this journey much success, remain focus and keep your eye on the prize -

1 Week Bandaversary Yea !!!

I can't believe that it has been a week already. I sure feel better today, than I did in the past few days. So far I'm satisfied with my portions, I'm on full liquid for 6 more days. Can anyone help me get more creative with my protein choices other than my protein shakes, which includes the whey protein and vanilla soy milk. My incisions are healing, it seem that maybe the one that around the port is sore, I have started using ice and today it seems to feel a little better. Are any of you wear

Day 6 Post-Op (Feeling Tired)

Good Afternoon Bandits, Well this is day 6 and I am feeling better and better each day. However today after doing some erands I feel a little tired. It is warm today so maybe that's going on. I have my first doctors appt. on May 7, 2012 and my first fill not until four weeks post-op. So far I don't have much of an appetite and not many cravings. Yesterday I had family over for spaghetti and it smelled so good but I just had my 4 ounces of protein and was content for the most part. But again thi
