  1. I am 9 1/2 months out.... I have lost 124 lbs thius far and have 60-80 to go.... I just followed my Dr's advice and eat 1000 calories each day. I eat 1-2 Snacks and 3 meals. For each of the 3 meals I have 4 oz meat / protien, 1/2c veggies / 1/4c starch. Typicaly my day looks like this:

    weekday B-fast - Carnation Instant Bfast sugar free / skim milk

    weekend bfast- 1 egg scrambled, 1 slice wheat toast w/ suga free jelly / 1 slice bacon

    week day snack - fruit

    Lunch- 4oz tuna, cup of lettuce / onion, cucumbers/ fat free dressing / 3 triscuts

    dinner 4 oz meat (broiled, grilled or baked), veggie or salad and 1/2 small baked potato

    Snack - Skinny cow 100 calorie ice cream bar / mini box of raisins

    64 oz Water

    Its not exciting...but it works! :)

    Any exercise?


  2. I go for my first pre-op appt. tomorrow and I am going to beg for a fill! I am two weeks post op and the whole diet progression thing....liquid, pureed, soft food, regular food......was out the window earlier this week. I can only eat small amounts but I can eat whatever I want and I am not having any issues or restrictions. I sort of feel the same way as you Shelley.....why am I not having any issues? I thought if I didn't follow the diet progression my band would slip and I would vomit and all this horrible stuff....not that I want any of that to happen, I'm just saying.

    I'm making good choices in the food I am eating....baked fish, salad, veggies, etc......but, I want to feel some restriction! I have lost 16 pounds total which started to come off when I was on the two week pre-op diet so I am losing but......ya'll know what I'm saying! I have exercised almost everyday, even the day I came home from the hospital...been taking hour long walks...walking to and from the gym and walking on the treadmill. I honestly feel like I never had surgery!

    For the first time in my life I don't want to be able to eat. I NEED RESTRICTION IN MY LIFE!!!

    ME TOO!!! I had a 2cc fill on my 2nd post op visit, and still no restriction. I don't want to be sick or throw up either, just wonder what the restriction feels like. I stop eating because I know I don't want to over eat. The doctor said the band would tell me when I am full, but so far it hasn't.


  3. My pain was from the incision sites. So far I have not had trouble with the band placement. Twenty days post op, and I am bending with no pain now.

    [Hi Lisa

    Congrats on your Surgery! I have a question for you... do you have pain because of your incision sites or because of the placement of the band? I ask because I am pretty flexible even at my weight. Do you think you will always have pain when you do bend or move that certain way? Thanks for feeding my curiosity :) Welcome


  4. Hi,

    I am 12 days post op, and feeling great. I have been banded, and I love it. My first doctor visit will be this coming Wednesday. I haven't had any problems. I went back to work three days after surgery. If I move a certain way, or bend over too far, I have a little pain, Other than that, everything is great.
