I'm curious what kind of Protein shake it was. I'm 1 week post op and tired!

The weight loss, getting healthy and nourishing your body will bring on your energy. Enjoy the feeling.

I would like to answer your lecture about lecturing but I'm afraid I might lecture.
Edit:
Oops, I think I just did.

Inkie! I was sleeved 12/30 and am down 56lbs. 6 lbs to one-derland! I havent really told many people - but of course I get questioned about rapid weight loss and how I am making it work. I am very vague - I say knocking out all white foods etc. Some people deserve to know for support - others can stand back and scratch their head. Its our journey and only supportive people need to know.

You really need to be in touch with your surgeon about this NOW. This is not normal. You may need some diagnostic testing to determine what the problem is.

That's a lot of weight in less than 2 months! Wow! Anyway - have you tried just eating meat or fish? I would stick to Proteins and healthy carbs. Try cheese, hummus, deli meats, ground beef or turkey. I was told not to have nuts that early out. And obviously you know you shouldn't have desserts or Pasta. Congrats on your success so far!

You are eating crackers, nuts, and Desserts? Honestly, those are terrible choices. Stick with your Protein Shakes. What about meat? Have you tried things like chicken salad, tuna salad, and soft fish? What about yogurt and cottage cheese? You really need to try to be eating protein-forward, not carb-heavy stuff like crackers, dessert, and Pasta.< /p>
With respect to all the foods you can't tolerate -- it's hard to know whether it's normal, I think probably a professional should assess that. Have you contacted your surgeon or dietitian for guidance? I think they can probably help you better than we can. Good luck!

Thank you guys for your input. I went to the Er the next am and they give me fluids and my dr took 2cc out and I immediately felt much better I guzzled so much Water after that it tasted like steak. Again thank you for all your advice.

Yes too tight - not a slip. But if you haven't been able to keep any Water down for a couple of days then you can become dehydrated which is an amergency. You should go to the ER, hopefully someone there will be able to do an unfill. At the very least they can get you onto an IV and get some Fluid into you.

No, it is probably too tight. i would get some Fluid taken out asap, otherwise you may become dehydrated.

Docs are there for a reason, and so are ER's.....I would rather go to the ER and have the exray done to make sure it's in place and ease my mind than to worry and make it worse...

Even if you have chosen against lapband, good luck! I really hope doing it on your own works for you!

To those of you who say you don't have time for exercise or you don't like to...I'm sorry but to me all I hear is excuses excuses. Yeah you may have a busy lifestyle but after getting the lapband put into your body to make a "lifestyle change" how can you do that without getting some exercise in? What is an hour out of your entire day? You have 23 hours to do everything else you need to do..and if you know you will tone your body and loose even more weight from it why wouldn't you take advantage of that? I think you guys need to step it up and quit making so many excuses...I have a life too...a job, family, boyfriend, pets, house to take care of, appts to go to in between everything else..and every single night I come home and get my exercise in. I have lymophdema in my legs and as much as it hurts to be on my feet and my ankles are so big it looks unhuman but I do not miss it...because I didn't get this lap band put in me to just sit back and watch the weight fall off...I'm working my ass off and don't understand why you can't either!!!
Do you want to end up like the people on here who are making a post in 1 or 2 years saying they only lost 30 pounds? If not, you need to make the change now...and if you don't want to..then I really don't understand why you got the band in the first place.

I haven't told many people either - only those I know would be totally supportive. This is a personal matter, girls, and we don't HAVE to tell anyone! Just smile, tell them you're trying to eat right and exercise more (which is true) and let it go at that.
Armymom, take an icepack with you and put it on your port for a few minutes before they do the fill. It helps with the needle AND the bruising.
