1st fill after obstruction

By Drake alp

· 432 views

Saw the doc today and got a fill. I gained 4# since last month. They weren't upset though and said I shouldn't beat myself up either. I guess when some folks get their fluid out, they really take advantage and over do it. I tried to stay focused although it was hard with the added stress of thinking I lost my band.

 

I decided that I"m going to do 5 days of protein shakes. I haven't been feeling as good and I've been at basically the same weight for a month or two now, give or take a pound or two. Hopefully this will jump start my weight loss and I can start feeling better too.

 

I did notice today after taking my vitamin and the 1st shake that it's almost like overloading my body - been feeling sick most of the day but I am sure this will wear off.

 

Hope you are having a great week!

    Protein shakes sounds like a reasonable thing to me - hope it does what you're looking for. Feel well! Rose

    Hey girlfriend. So glad you are now getting back on track. Don't worry about the gain - you are a fighter and will lose it quickly. Remember, without the lapband we are naturally going to eat more - there is no two ways about it. Your stomach is larger and it takes more to fill it up. Don't get down on yourself. Get it together and you will start losing again. I hope you start feeling better, soon.

    I'm sorry you aren't feeling well. I hope the shakes, the vitamins and the overall feeling of knowing your band is still there; working away for you (and with you) will help. I am sending you a virtual hug and lots of prayers...........

    Don't worry you will get back on track. I have only lost 3 pounds in 7 weeks. Of course I had two sugeries (band slipped) and haven't been able to do any exercise except walk. You will feel better when you get back on track .....you know just how to do it!!!
