    Anyone get banded at 190lbs?

    @@mias76 I did get banded. How i feel about it still don't know. I weight 181-182 depending on the day.. Its been almost 2 months. I've been exercising and eating right, eating whatever i want is what got us in trouble in the first place. Taking it one day at a time I guess.. Hope you are doing better than me.
  3. It's been a little over 40 days since surgery, I'm having mixed feelings about the "band". I've had 3 post op appointments and am mow at 6cc. I'm definitely always hungry, the nutritionist is having a blast changing my diet every 2 weeks (evil). I'm stuck at 9lbs lost and haven't progressed since then.. I know it's a slow process but C'MON!! I was working out 6 times a week 1 to 2 times a day and felt great. I mentioned that and the physicians and nutritionist about flipped. They pretty much said stop! Change my exercise routine like they asked to 30 minute walks 3 to 4 times a week... womp:/ couldn't raise my heart rate past 86 BORING.. Went to the doc again yesterday they gave me back my exercise!!!! yey!! Also they want me to eat about 40% fat a day which is hard. They suggested bacon, sausage, etc. (don't like either of those) They took oatmeal from me (heartbroken).. anyway this turned into me just venting.. anyone want to tell me how they are doing?

      How is it? originally was going to have lap band but then doctor, therapist and weight loss specialist all recommended sleeve but really scared and nervous but excited also.

      So far so good:) I considered the sleeve but was told not to due to weighing under 200lbs. I forget I have it. Im back in the gym for 40 mins during my lunch and weights for an hour after work. My diet has changed dramatically as well. Only eat about 800 calories a day and I'm satisfied. Gonna keep pushing everyday, best decision by far.

    3 days post op:/

    Exactly! During pre op I held my nose and chugged, can't do that now:/ tried broth so gross... got nauseous forgot my pills and had a few crackers nausea went away and didnt have complications.. needless to say crackers were the highlight of my day!
  14. 3 days post op and I feel miserable! Im hungry all the damn time. Protein shakes are disgusting and I cant keep it down:/ water and coffee is all I can tolerate. Anyone else go through this?
  15. Hungry already... should I be scared?!

      It's possible but your band won't work it's magic till it's adjusted properly so no need to be scared.

      Call your doctor to find out if you can drink something else. And no..you shouldn't be scared because you are hungry. Some people are hungry from the get go. It just means it will likely be challenging for you till you have correct restriction
