I was banded 5/21 and have lost 44lbs.

Thanks for all the responses! I think everyone is right. I had not considered that I could have restriction without the pb, stuck episodes, or vomiting. Maybe I just get to miss that part. I just am concerned that not getting enough calories will slow or stop my weight loss. Which is how I got to all the exercising.

This seems like a stupid complaint but what is going on is that I just don't want food. I have 6cc in the band and feel no restriction however I just don't think about food. I think about exercise all the time and spend most of my free time at the Y. Every day I have about 900 calories left on my fitness pal. I am concerned that this is pathological. I am losing wait at about 2-3 lbs a week which I understand is normal. Just looking for anyone who feels or felt this way.

I was supposed to get first fill today. Dr stuck and stuck and could NEVER get into port. Going for xray next week. Has anyone had this happen?

Me too

I used milk of mag at 7 days.

I have been on mushies since Friday. Now I am up 1.5 pounds. I am measuring and taking in about 3 Oz at a time. I am very worried.

Since I started mushies on Friday I have gained a pound. I feel badly saying anything about that but I was losing 1+ daily. Now to gain is upsetting. I am only taking about 4 Oz of food daily and its mostly tuna. I did have Mac and cheese but 1 Oz only. Still only cleared to walk so using the treadmill daily. Help please.

I was banded 5/21. Dr changed me to mushie on Friday. I am doing ok. Trying to remember protein first. Still not full but not hungry either. Down 28 lbs total

How are soft foods? I am really worried that with no restriction I will gain on soft food. I am just drinking and drinking!

Hi guys, I was banded on 5/21 also and am having the same pain. Slight bending over gives me a sharp pain on my left side and to touch it is tender. Not red or draining just sore.

My instructions include cream of wheat in liquid stage

Spoke to doctor today. He says that he thinks I am just extra swollen because of the hernia repair. I have gotten much more fluid in today so he said to just take my time but make sure I am getting more in each day.

My doctor said"no sex for 4 Weeks". But I like all your doctors better!

I was banded on Monday and I still feel really full. I am struggling to get any liquid in and all day only got in 12 ounces. Am I doing something wrong? I can't even think about eating food yet I see others saying they are hungry. I can't fail at this and I want to follow the rules. I need some guidance please.

Surgery went well in my room now. Gas pain started walking a much as I can. Thanks for all the replies.

Thanks

I will be getting my lap band today. The two week Optifast has been so long but worth it. Down 17 lbs with just that so far. Anyone else being banded today? I really need a pal.
