To The Younger Lapbanders-Under 30
dalia93 replied to Wgbem's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey I am 19 and got banded in July!! Saying this means alot to me !!! it made my day!!!! I needed to read this because everyone at home are telling me I got the easy way out! They think it's the band that's doing the work! And everytime i get stuck they would say this thing is killing you need to go get rid of it you cant even this and that!! ( but all they mainly eat is junk and this is why i am mostly drinking protien shakes or eating too little as a result my weight loss has slowed down) Urgh I have not told any of my friends (I don't want people judging me and they would disagree against the band) I am happier like this and feel much healthier! I look much much better!!! This decision has changed my life to the better ... I am down 23ish-24 kilos since July and it has changed me mentally abnd physically!!! To the better!!! Anyone thinking of getting it at a young age... GO FOR IT if you are ready to change how n what you eat forever! Thank you to everyone here for being supportive And for those people who helped me in this journey alot ! You all are amazing! It really does mean alot to have everyone here helping out!!! Xxxxx -
I had my surgery 2nd July 2012 and so far I lost 23 kilos ... I am very happy and excited! But I have been stuck in losin weight nw for nearly 3 weeks! Last month I lost 1 kilo only! And this month lost 2! I exercise everyday and eat healthily..... Most the time I can't finish 1000 calories so I eat around 800-900 a day ... I don't know what am doing wrong!!? So I calle my dietician and asked for an appointment she said she was busy then she asked what the problem is I said am not losing weight anymore ... She said am eating maybe too much!!! Is she. Joking! 800-900 calories too much!!???then she said maybe ur not exercising enough!!! Ahhhhhhh!!!! She didn't advise me on what to do!!! She was rude and said maybe a just a slow loser and she hanged up half way through the conversation I tried calling back she wasn't picking up!!! Ahhhh!!! I paid for this surgery and I recieved no help so far! she's the only dietician in the clinic I am stuck and stressed about losing weight !!!! What am I doing wrong? I feel like I am in this journey alone now with no help I don't know what to do or how to eat properly...(I don't eat fatty food or carbs... All Protein nd Vitamins ) I don't know what to add or stop! This is stressful! I need help! how should I boost my weight lose! help! Thanks

Getting Stuck In Public Places!!! ??!
dalia93 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am 4 months post up! Yesterday was one of the worst days of my life!!! I had a 30 minute break before my next lecture and it was lunchtime, I was starving so I bought a little pot of watermelons(thinking it will go down easily). I ate really slow and chewed well. By the time I finished one mini slice of watermelon...., I was stuck in Uni!!!!!!! For the first time!!! Noone in university knows about the band so I excused myself to the toilet....as am walking to the toilet I see my lecturer who asked me to help him set up the studio ... I am going through agony and this guy is asking for help ???!!! couldn't even breathe properly! I had to fake it all the slime was building up in my mouth so it was getting hard to talk... I quickly helped him dan ran to the toilet and it was packed with girls!!!! Had to wait for 10-12 mins to leave one cubicle ! It was so painful ... When I went in one of the cubicles i spat all the slime and half hour later it still didn't go down! I ended up crying inside.... Had to wait in the toilet and I missed half my lecture!! it was extremely painful!!! one hour later it decides to come up.... It was a relief but the experience of getting stuck somewhere in public is terrible and as I was leaving the toilet one of the girls who heard me throw up asked if I was bulimic ???!!!!! I had to swear I wasn't! I hate situations like this! I don't know how to avoid getting stuck in places like this as watermelons usually go down fine for me. Now I have the fear of eating anything outside my house!:'( I never want to go through it again! What shall I do? ????? Xxx -

I am officially depressed! I had my surgery on the 2nd of July and starting weight was 100kg now I am 84kg! Which is great! I am very grateful for the weightloss! i exercise everyday for an hour and change my exercises, I eat 800-1200 a day! No carbs! I dont eat more than a cup! And I have been stuck in this weight since beginning of September! I don't know what to do? I called the doctors and he told me break my food down to small portions I have done so but still no weight loss! I am very demotivated, all the hard work and time I put in exercising goes to waste! I don't know what I should do! At the start i thought this is because I ate too little so I increased my calorie intake but still no change! I am very frustrated and upset because of it ! I am not losing weight even though I am doing everything right! This is discouraging! Where does all the exercise I do go?!!! What shall I do?!!!!!
-
Yes I have 2 weeks ago nd I also control how much I eat. I don't eat more than a cup! x
-
Thanks guys for the great advise! I Xx I Will try to stay motivated! | I will continue to exercise and keep up with the diet to reach my goal! Yh I was thinking to do a liquid diet tomorrow maybe that will help! losing weight is extremely hard :'(. Hope the liquid diet works! If there's any tips or advise or experiences anyone can give me please do tell me! I need it!

Need Advise Asap!!! Feel Like Crap!
dalia93 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am on mushy food stage.... Today my mum made me scrambled eggs cooked with olive oil, it was soooooooooo oily but I ate it as I was hungry and tired. Felt abit sick after but it eventually went down. Will this effect my weightloss? Will I put on pounds? Is olive oil fattening? Am worried I might put on weight because of this oily meal..... Need advise! Was that meal a choice healthy eventhough it was oily? -
