I am supposed to go to Six Flags soon and I want to go on some roller coasters. Is this safe with the lapband?

I don't know what is going on I was banded early April of this year. I exercise almost everyday I am mindful of the foods that I put in my mouth and I have not lost any weight. I am becoming very upset. I lost 15 pounds in ten days on my pre-op liquid diet and I have not lost anything since this surgery. I just want to know is anyone having or had this problem. I need advice as to what to do to see results. I have 6.5cc fill and the band holds 10 cc's.

I know everyone is different but I am just curious to know when you felt restriction. I have a 10 cc band and I currently have 5.5 cc's in. I don't feel any restriction at all. I make sure that I eat healthy but I feel like I am starving all of the time. I only had two fills so far.

I have read some comments saying that their first fill was 3 cc's and no one really felt a difference. I am feeling so hungry right now. I lost 15 pounds in a week preop. I put on two pounds since then and I am getting extremely upset. I am watching what I eat but i havent had my first fill yet so I just wanted to know how can I cope with this and has anyone felt a difference with their first fill? My surgeon said I would be getting 3 cc's for my first fill. My first fill is the 16th of this month.

I don't get my first fill for another two weeks. i just started my full liquid diet today and I was very full after drinking a slim fast shake and a pudding.I couldn't even finish my slim fast. I was allowed to drink slim fast as part of my pre op diet I lost 10 pounds in a week.

Thanks so much for the comments it has helped me in so may ways.

i just had lapband surgery today and i was able to go home. I know I don't get my first fill until two weeks from now but I feel like I don't have an appetite has any one else experienced this feeling? Please let me know I would really appreciate it.

Thanks everyone for your comments. It has helped me a lot !

My surgery is scheduled for the 28th of this month. I am am supposed to start my liquid diet on the 16th. I have to pay money for this box of powder liquids they want me to have. I want to know how of it can I consume in one day. Did you find it hard to stick to this diet?

Thank you for your input.

I just started the Depo shot early last month, I am supposed to get banded in March. I want to know if anyone had gained weight on lapband after having the shot. I know a few people who have not gained weight and I know a few people who have. So i just want to know if anyone had a difficult time losing weight while on the depo shot.

I am supposed to be banded in March and I have taken my nutrition classes of course. For those who have already been banded I want to know what steps did you take to make sure the weight stays off. Also I wanted to know how much weight did you lose in your first month after being banded.

Thanks everyone for your input i really appreciate the responses.

Has anyone tried to doing Zumba while having lapband? You can lose up to 1000 calories in a hour while doing Zumba. If anyone has tried it please let me know what the outcome was. Did it assist in you losing a lot of weight?

I don't have a date yet for my surgery, but I am supposed to get it in March. I wanted to know on average how long is the liquid diet supposed to last? I wanted to know if anyone has began the liquid diet and if so how much weight have you lost so far?
