The misconception that I and many people had/have about the band is that ur level of restriction will stay the same...unfortunatley it's just not the case..it's not uncommon for stress..TOM..weather..travel..to effect the band...I have learned to just go with the flow..my band is moody and I have come to realize that some days are better than others. U eat what u can when u can.

the first step admitting you havent really honestly done your part is the first step in getting back on track. praying you get your motivation back and utilize your band the way it's meant to be used.

Slippage Or Just Overfilled? Advice Needed....
jennifer1 replied to Birdy's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I've never had a slip..but I have been too tight...r u able to keep down foods/liquids...I knew I was too tight when I would wake up choking and couldn't keep down liquids. -
I agree..maybe ur bites are too big...if you are losing weight and not hungry till after 4-5 hours I wouldn't get a fill

I'm an occupational therapist...had surgery on a wed and was back to work the following Thursday..my job is physical as I have to help lift patients so times...I had a 10# weight lifting restriction....my supervisor snuck and helped me with my patients so I wouldn't lose my contract since I couldn't "perform" all my job duties...I know that was God's favor and am soooo grateful!

The Top 10 List of Things You Need to Know about Gastric Band Surgery
jennifer1 replied to Jean McMillan's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Magazine
LOVE LOVE LOVE this!!!!! thanks for the tough love..#9 smacked me right upside the head!!!!Glad to know i'm not crazy and my restriction changes like the weather!!! thanks Jean! -
I'm a slow loser as well..but make sure u keep ur measurements as well...I lose more inches than I do pounds. Best wishes on ur journey.

Did u do liquids for 2 days? How did they go down? If u can't keep liquids down u are too tight and need an unfill..if u can keep liquids down I would go back to them for another 2 days and then do soft foods and work your wayup to solids...when in doubt call your doc

Anyone Not Lost The Amount Of Lbs Required During Pre-Op?
jennifer1 replied to Overjoyed1's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgeon had me sign a "0" pound weight gain clause.....I asked the office if he was strict about it..they said no...he just doesn't want u gaining a whole lot..I lost 15 pounds and day of surgery he was proud..but i' sure if u explain ur cycle is there it wont be a problem...best wishes hun and don't let that stress u. -
My doc says liquids for 2 days..and then normal food...I do liquids at least that day..tee hee hee..and ease back into soft foods and then regular...everytime I get a fill I end up get at least 2 small unfills...when u r close to the green zone the slightest fill of like.2cc's can make a huge difference...just my 2 cents
-
tired of being stuck between 199 and 200!!!! ugh why does onederland insist on teasing me this way!
-
hmmm havent heard that one. could it be the protein shakes not agreeing with you if you're drinking them?

What Happens In The End???????????????????????????????????
jennifer1 commented on DONYEIL's blog entry in DONY5STARS' Blog
i would advise you to start making a list of questions to take with you to your surgeon. although most of your questions can be answered on here, theres nothing like asking the one who is doing the surgery. best wishes on your journey jennifer -
How many days post op are you? I was on liquids for 7 days..so no rice. What were your post op instructions?
-
I just went thru something similiar...long story short I ended up with a fill only.2cc's after 1 cc was too much...my band is so sensitive to the smallest fill every since I hit the green zone
-
i love reading your posts..they are so inspirational.. be blessed my sista! jennifer

i agree that some questions could be answered here on the site, but like other's said somethings should be addressed with your surgeon. i dont want to discourage people from asking questions, but it amazes me how many people willingly get the surgery and have NO CLUE as to what to expect or what to do. AMAZING!
