Surgery 10/27/11. Had my 4th fill and am at 5.2 cc in a 14cc band. Have another month to wait. So frustrated. Expected restriction sooner.

10 Lbs Down?Very Frustrated
skinnygrrlatheart posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was banded October 27. To date I've lost 10 lbs, which was preop. I have 4cc in a 14cc band and have no restriction. Seriously hoped to be further along by this point. Feeling very down about all of it. -

Xavier- very inspirational. Thank you. I'm due for my next fill February 1. I know I'll make it, just frustrated. So glad I vocalized that here. -

Kristen- I have lost inches, all over and clothes are fitting differently but I'm tying a lot up to that number on the scale. Pudgey- I wish that were true. -

Kristen- I have a protein shake every morning for breakfast. Lunch is spinach salad with 1/2 grilled chicken breast, sprinkle of feta cheese, balsamic vinegar. Dinner is grilled veggies or 1/2 grilled chicken breast with another salad. Have totally changed the way I eat since I was banded. I exercise 4 days a week doing crossfit. -

Sanction, no need to be tacky. If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. -
Should I Get Ivc Filter before Lapband???

I have a family history of clots but doctor didn't feel it necessary. My cardiologist put me in meds 2 weeks prior to surgery as a preventative. Good luck. -
Hi guys. Surgery on 10/27. Would love a buddy.

Best Tasting Protein Powders??
skinnygrrlatheart replied to Avery's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Jay Robb chocolate and vanilla whey are great. GNC sells a RTD shake called 'oh yeah' that tastes just like an ice cream shake with 32 g of protein per serving. -

If you have Cigna...

Mine took 4 weeks with Cigna. -
Surgery at 6 am on Thursday. Have been doing so well on preop diet but weight loss has just STOPPED. 11 lbs down. Better than nothing is the way I'm trying to look at it. Starting to get nervous though, for sure. Not even really sure what I'm nervous about. I have an incredibly high tolerance to pain so I don't think that's it. I suppose it's failure. I WILL be successful though. PERIOD!!!

Looking For A Lap Band Buddy
skinnygrrlatheart replied to skinnygrrlatheart's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Jam & Polly - hi there. Thanks for the speedy answer. Looking forward to this journey. How about you all? -
I chew gum constantly. I think it will be great post op, however I have heard from several people that gum chewing is a no-no. Anyone still chew gum? Anyone been told you can't / shouldn't?

Starting the 3rd day of preop diet. Not as bad as I thought it would be. This morning I was 3 lbs down. That's a good feeling. I'm so ready for this change.

I'm a carb addict. First day of 2 week pre op diet and a stressful day at work makes me want one thing...salty potato chips. I'm fighting it. This is more than a test of will power. This is a test of my fortitude. SOOOO glad I found this site. What a way to vent. Hope all you other October bandsters are hanging in there. We have SO much to look forward to.

I have gone through the seminar, the consult, the psych eval, the lab work and today begins the preop diet. I have been told to do a 2 week preop diet of all liquids. I can do this. I keep reminding myself that. I refuse to fail. I have failed at so many other things. This is one of those things that I will (WILL) succeed at!!! Looking forward to the outcome. It's going to be amazing.

Corrigan, you're so right. I'm really learning the difference between head hunger and real hunger. Great lesson. -
