I am 3 weeks today. I know I am not drinking enough and I believe this is causing a stall for me also. I am on puree and starting soft food next week. I will check out the video also.

I had my surgery 10/9/17 and had my first pre op appt today. Since the surgery I lost 14.2 pounds. I am starting phase 2 of the diet. Having a hard time getting enough fluids and protein in. Healing good but had a reaction to the tape they used. My stomach is red all over. Dr. didn't seem concerned told me to take benadryl and follow up in a week. For everyone starting ore op diet hang in there lost 26 pounds so far between pre op and surgery. Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

I had my surgery Monday 10/9/2017. I recently started a new job so I returned today (would not recommend & has someone drive me) its a desk job so I am taking it easy. My biggest issue is the gas pain in the chest and trying to take in my liquids. I am walking and soar.

hello everyone just got my sleeve yesterday. So far so good Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

How are you feeling? I have mine Monday the 9th

Hello, My surgery will be here Monday! This all came so quick. I was wondering if anyone can tell me what kind of broth ect... they liked the best? Any helpful tips of what to get for the liquid part of the phase would be appreciated!

Thanks thats what I am trying to do is look into the future. I can use all the support I can get : )

6/28/2007 and unfortunatly I am back to square one! Due to insurance issues I was unable to flu the way I was suppose to with my Doctor so I gained. Hope I do better now!

I recently had my third fill and so far so good. After gaining weight I had a reality check. I felt depressed but not surprised I new I wasnt doing what I was suppose to but I was always hungy. My surgent said he sees this all the time with people who dont get restrictoins when they need to. After an adjustment my surgent has me do two days fluids two days soft food then work my way to solids again avoiding soups and soft food. I relieze more then ever after this surgery that i am seriously addicted to food. before this last adjustment I was eating ice cream like crazy and my portions where out of control. This may sound weird but I have been helping a relative deal with acohol adiction and attended meetings with them that has been helping me I learned that I have to survender and aknowledge that I have a problem. Then I thought to myself if my relative can give up drinking then I should be able to do this. I would like to attend my baratric support group however its not helpful much because must of them have had bipass surgery and all you hear is the sucsess stories this web site is way more helpful : )

Thanks for the encouragement had my third fill 2/12/2008 and so far so good! Need all the support I can get but this is the first time I actualy feel a restriction I am happy to have found this web site its a great support : )

Well got my fill 2/12/08 and starting off good!

Well I was banded 6/28/2007 I started off great. In fact with in the first two weeks I lost twenty pounds. Then I was able to eat and I had a slight gain. So I had my first adjustment and lost a couple of pounds but I still felt no restriction. Then a month later I had another and explained to my surgent that I was switching jobs and would be with out insurance for a couple of months but would follow up once I had medical coverage. Well then the holidays came and I was able to eat anything and everything and feeling depressed about it. To make betters worse the new job I took had horriable insurance and I was able to see my surgent untill yesterday 2/12/08 and the last time I was there was 9/2007. Well I gained twenty pounds back! I wasnt true to myself or this process and I do take responsabilty for my down fall however I was so affraid of my surgents responce that I brook down in tears when he came into the room. He said he wasnt suprised since I havent had an adjustment in so long and the first two I had where small ones. We had a good talk and he told me its not to late to get back on track. Unfortunaltly I am switching jobs again to something better with better coverage but I will be with out health coverage for a couple of months again. When I first started reading other post on this page it have me hope to know I wasnt alone. I hope my story will do the same for some one else. I had a big reality check! But most of all it made me realize I had this surgery for a reason and put a lot of money, time and hard work to have it and I wont to continue well. So here I am back to square one BUT I am determined to do it now and do it right!

Well with my old insurance my adjustments where covered for three months after my surgery then I had to pay co-pay and adjustment fees which was $80. With my new insurance I paid co-pay and adjustment fee went up to $100 so it is quit costly.

I had two fills since my surgery 6/26/07 in the begining it was great I lost twenty pounds in like tewo weeks. But then I wasnt feeling restricted. I felt depressed like I did all this hard work for nothing I am always hungry and back to eating like before. To make matters worse I was with out health insurance for some time do to job change. I am also affriad to see my doctor cause I know I am not doing what I am suppose to thing got out of control quickly! I am suppose to have a appt tomorrow however waiting for my insurance info so I can attend appt! I need all the support I can get.

I found these post to be very incouraging! I thought something was wrong with me. I had my lap band done 6/26/07 with in two weaks I lost over twenty pounds I couldnt believe it! Then I was able to eat solids and i noticed i could eat more and more. I had two adjustments since and no weight lost and I can eat just about anything like before. i was unable to see my surgent for a couple if months due to no insurance with staring a new job. Now I have insurane and plan to get an adjustment next week. I was fearful of seeing my surgent cause I felt like I failed and want back to old habits. I know what i am suppose to do but its hard when you dont feel restricted. I put a lot if money time and affort to get this done and I was starting to feel like it wasnt worth it until I read some of these post. Also with being able to eat a lot I worry about doing damage to myself like slippage. Any comments or thoughts would be appreciated!
