Congrats! wow 1lb away from your goal before surgery.!!

Thanks for your replies, feeling better I will chew chew chew!!!! I will wait 1 min before my next very small bite. I learned my lesson the hard way I never want to go through that again!!!

Hi I'm 6 weeks post op I was eating bake fish and broccoli with avocado. At first eating with no problem all of a sudden stomach and chest pain I thought I was going to lose my mind, mouth watering running to the bathroom. I did feel a little better I'm still burping food is going up and down like a yo-yo I think I'm stuck no more broccoli!! I'm so upset with myself I can't sip on anything because I'm back in the bathroom. What do I do?

I went to my Doctor today he told me he gave me 2 cc when I got the band (surgery) that explain a lot how I was feeling. Today he put 1 in half cc he told I have 3 in a half cc. I'm really uncomfortable is this normal after a fill? I'm going to start shakes for a few days then start back with solids. Thank you for your replies.

Hi everyone, I get my first fill Aug. 6, on the 8th it will be one month since I had my Band. I was wondering if anyone ever had a 4cc or more put in the first time you received your first fill. Thank You for you reply

I went to my Doctor appt everything is going well, he was pleased I loss 24 lbs. If I lose 15 or more pounds by Aug 6 I won't get a fill. I went to the gym today I only did 40 min on the elliptical nothing else. I will add more later It really feels good not being hungry!! Happy Weight loss we will reach our goals together! !!

Best wishes

Try not to cheat anymore because your surgery is in a few day's.You should be ok as long you didn't gain weight. I cheated the first 4 days with crackers and ice cream. I was scared that my liver would be to big but it wasn't. I wish you the best drink plenty Water that really helped me.

Today my brother had his party at my house. I was on my feet to long making plates and cutting up the watermelon. I put a a big piece in my mouth my daughter said mom! I remembered I got the lap band. I spit that in the trash. How in the world I forgot, I have to be careful. I'm having more pain now then the first day. I'm 5 days post op I would like to thank everyone for your advice you showed me so much support since day 1 this is the best forum:-)

Best wishes, I know what you're going through.. it will be over after while. Good you're getting a recliner that really helped me. Post when you can let us know how you're doing.

Hi I was banded on the July 8 I'm feeling pretty good. I know I can't go to the gym I was wondering can I walk 2 or 3 times a day for 30 min I'm use to working out since I started my weight loss journey. Have any one started walking or working out less than 1 week post op?

I ate a half of Popsicle and few sips of diet tea for Breakfast ...I feel so full I can't eat or drink anything else. I'm surprise to have restriction without a fill. I'm going to wait for 3 or 4 hours then I will have my Protein shake.... I will mix 4 oz only not sure how much I will be able to take in. Have anyone else had this problem before? Thank you

Hi everyone, I'm home really soar not to much gas pain I finally took something for pain. I did really good my doctor send me home. I been walking and sleeping a lot trying to drink my fluids. I am happy it's over!!!!! I will post again under post up HAPPY WEIGHT LOSS!!!!

I was told the first few days I will have low energy because of low carbs. I take B -12 and supplement, that really help me. Please don't cheat I regret eating a few cracker two days in a roll. Make sure you're getting enough Water that will help

Hi everyone, I have to be at the hospital at 5:00 am tomorrow morning, my surgery should start around 7:00 am it should take no more than an hour.I'm surprise I'm not nervous, just excited. My 13 day liquid diet was not easy. I had a couple of off days early on. I got back on track and I loss 21 lbs. I could have loss more if I didn't have OFF days. I hope my liver shrunk. Best Wishes to everyone July is a new beginning for us HAPPY WEIGHT LOSS!!!!!!!

Good luck to you too fhawkins12 ........there is some one having there Lap Band tomorrow I hope everything go as planned.

Hi everyone, I hope everyone is doing good on there pre op diet. I went to the store to get more Soup, Jello etc. My doctor want me to be on liquids one week after the band. I'm going to try and do it until August 3. I guess tomorrow I will pack my overnight bag for the hospital. I'm so happy Tuesday is almost here.

I'm going to the gym 6 days out of a week. 500 to 800 calories a day and no more than 30 carbs. Hopefully I can lose 10 lbs a month. I was told you lose the most the first year and it will take two to three years to reach my goal.

I had a good work out at the gym today..... I'm going to start getting my bag ready for the hospital. Is there any one else have to stay one night in the hospital beside me?

My three children and two friends know and my sister nobody else not even my five bother etc. I don't want no one to say the reason why I lost weight was because of the band not looking at all the hard work I'm doing...... also saying I took the easy way out. If any one ask I am on a low cab diet which I will do until I reach my goal.

catlover602 best wishes on you surgery in the morning, when you can let us know how you're doing

I was so busy making everyone's plates they didn't notice I wasn't eating. I am so tired of Protein Shakes too. Two banana shakes a day is enough for me. I take in other stuff such as broth Soup and sugar-free Jello. I wish I can eliminate the shakes all together.

I made through the baby shower it was not easy passing up all that food!! I agree with you kfosio I can't wait until Monday this has been a long weekend. Anybody exercising while on there liquid diet? I'm trying to do 60 min cardio 6 days out of a week. My Dr. also have me on Bariatric Advantage 3-5 shakes a day . My Dr. also approve any kind of whey Protein make sure the carbs is not to high you can buy it at Walmart, Target or any health store. Everybody make sure your drinking at lease 64oz of Water a day.

Hi everyone, my third day on this liquid diet is going ok but I am so busy I'm missing my shake for lunch. Any one else having this problem? I'm taking dietary supplements twice a day.....

Today I'm going to a baby shower my family Bar B Q with all the trimmings I don't know how I'm getting through this day. To make it worse I have to pick up the cake that I order Only two members of my family knows I'm getting the Lap Band. How would I explain when they ask "'you're not eating what's wrong are you sick? Any advise will be helpful thank you.
