Banded 1/30/2012 Im Up Too 5Cc In My Band
jennabe replied to Khloè33's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
i was banded late jan. and have currently lost 30lbs. i am up to 7cc in my 11cc band. i just have to say i never felt restriction until this last fill goin from 6 to 7cc. before i was able to eat anything i wanted and now after this fill im not eating much. i feel like maybe im to full because i can only eat mushy stuff and sometimes that even feels stuck. i too feel like i dnt notice the weight loss as much as i wld like,but i have to say i wld of never of lost this amount of weight in 5 months by myself. i am more then halfway to my goal just need 25lbs to go. -

today is my 34th bday, and im 9 days post op and i had one of the best bdays ever. yes, i wish i had my usually bday dinner, my yummy cake and much more food for my day, but i did the total opposite. i did nothing and was now where food was. i went to get my hair done, and spent time at the park with the kids, now watching a movie with my family, food free. haha wat a day. im loving this journey and my discipline to follow dr's orders. this is my year and now im in control of it!

Phase 2( Need Some Ideas What To Eat)
jennabe posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
need ideas for phase two. on my list it says liquid yogurt? do i blend plain yogurt? need ideas what u eat during this phase 2. -
well said everyone. week one was hell. had moments when i cried from frusteration. i never imagined it wld be this tough. food is around us all everyday in commercials, the smell and rt in ur cabinets. too see it all and not be able to eat was toture. im happy to say im now on full liquids and stage 2. i cldnt wait to go to sleep last night so i cld get up and eat applesauce. this journey isnt easy, but ive learned how strong i really am. good luck bandsters.

3Rd Day Post Op Questions
jennabe replied to bandedgirl2012's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
i was banded on 1/23 and my port hurts too. im only sore by the port. i have some pain in my shoulders and chest every now and then. honestly im moving around good, but im hungry. i spoke to the nurse yesterday at my dr. office and i asked her if i needed to buy protein shakes and she said no way not in week one. i guess all dr's r different. all im eating is sugar free jello and popcicles, clear broth and crystal light, water and G2 gatorade. good luck and i hope this helps. -
thank you, everyone. yes, this is exstremly hard for me to make this huge adjustment, but i want the results so i must comply with the dr's orders. thank you again
-
thanks, good luck its really tuff and u have to prepare ur mind now.

omg, i feel like cryin rt now. i am day 3 post op. and i am sooo hungry. my family are literally eating fried chicken, mac and cheese and chicken enchiladas. my 3 olds breath smells like sour cream and cheddar ruffles as she speaks to me. omg, maybe im going crazy, i feel sooo frusterated. (((
