Hi all Laplanders! I am almost 5 months post op. Have lost almost 30 lbs and feel great![emoji4] The one major problem I am experiencing is burning in my stomach after I eat. Has anyone else experienced this? It gets quite uncomfortable and I'm not sure what to do?

This will be about 4 weeks for me. I feel like I'm thinking about food more often right now and then I eat, at eat too fast so I get stuck. Gotta slow down and got to feel satiated for longer Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My next appt is on January 24th. Two weeks. Ugh Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

So I can eat raw cauliflower and baby carrots fairly easily.. do you think this means that I definitely need more fill? I only have 3.5 cc's and am not losing weight.. I have been stalled between 11/12 lbs for the last two (almost three).any thoughts? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@@weneebug, how's it going? I'm 7weeks post op and have been maintaining a "stall" for about two weeks.. frustrating but I know it will change. How's things for you? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Congratulations @@Banded_Beauty!!! I'm at a stall right now I'm 7 weeks post op, down 12 lbs. feeling good but hope to see the scale drop some more. Christmas was a bit challenging but so much better than previous years! I've started exercising, 30-40 mins per day, so things should turn around. I go for my 2nd fill in Jan 20th. At this point I only have 3.5 cc's so hopefully that top up will help. You should be proud!!! Way to go. I would love to stay connected congrats!! You will inspire me Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi all! I am newly banded. I am 10 days post op and feeling pretty good. I have lost 10lbs but haven't started any activity yet. I feel like this week things are not moving. Should I be concerned? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My port site is really itchy.. anyone else experience that?? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

How are you doing Banded_Beauty? I was banded on Nov 21st.. lost 11 lbs in two weeks but now onto my 21st day and not losing.. maybe even gaining a bit back.. going for my first fill on Dec 20 th and really looking forward to it.. I'm worried that I am eating too much right now Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm 16 days post op and feeling really great. I don't seem to have any restriction right now. My first fill appt is Dec 20th. I'm looking forward to that because I am so scared that I am eating too much. I can eat anything right now in small amounts.. is that normal? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thanks weneebug! I am looking forward to my fill. I really need to start thinking about food planning and preparation for the week. Let me know how things go after your fill. I understand that until that first fill there is no restriction so everything is just "sliding" through... Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
