We Need to Get Ourselves in Check...Me Included!
NCsQueen replied to crystal525's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You're both so right. I'm also guilty of lying to myself that the band would be a quick fix for me and I just got my band 3 weeks ago! I know crazy:blush:. Thank you for posting your pep talk. I think I'mma have to save this to my computer and read it everytime I get discouraged. And congratulations on your weight loss so far! -
That has happened to me too, but for me I think I was eating too fast. My doctor said when moving to solid foods that meats should be moist to help with it going down. I'm not trying to accuse your chicken of being dry:tongue2: but that could've also been a possiblity. Oh and check out my new pic I posted of my scars :biggrin:

I'm the one.... the only..... WINNER!!!!

Well I've lost a total of 21lbs, well it fluctuates between 17-21 lbs. I've been like that for the last two weeks. I go for my first fill on monday. I can't wait. And after we get our taxes back my DH is buying me an elliptical. How are the fills? Do they hurt?
-
Yea mine is scheduled next monday. I'll let everyone know how it goes!

Ok so I was banded 2/16 and on my two week pre-op I lost 9 lbs. 1 week post op I lost 4.5 lbs and at my 2 week post op mark I had lost another 7 lbs. Well I weighed myself today and it looks like I gained back 4 lbs!! I can't believe that so early on I'm already going backwards. This is so depressing. I'll be honest, I did eat somethings that I shouldn't have but not in a large quantity. My sister-in-laws bday was on saturday and she asked me to make her a german chocolate cake (from scratch) :drool:and I did and I had a couple peices over the week. That was the only bad thing I had really. Would that really cause me to gain 4 lbs??? The slices were so small and i only ate it once a day. I even went back to low carb foods, no pasta, bread or rice and I still gained. I'm so sad right now. I guess another part of it is that I haven't been able to work out like I want to. My doc said no machines just walking until my first fill on 3/16 and I want to do more. I just really want to this weight off. I'm so tired of being uncomfortable in my own skin. Any advice is appreciated.

OMG yes!! I'm always hungry! I try my best to eat right and eat slowly but like right after work or during lunch I tend to eat quickly because of the time and end up losing half of it. I don't know... I hope it gets better.
-
When is your fill? (this question is for everyone)
-
i win!!! ha!
-
Wow that is so encouraging!! Thank you! And congrats on your 30lbs! one more week until my first fill!!!
-
Well Babe I'm right there with you. I gained weight and lost it and now I've been going back and forth between 230 and 226. This morning I weighed in at 226 but I guarantee if I weigh myself tonight it'll be like 228/229. I was told we're not suppose to stress on weight loss during this time because we're supposed to be focused on healing.... easier said than done lol, I can't help but weigh myself everyday lol. We'll just be frustrated together!
-
Lol I know what you mean. Also to comment on the everyone asking how much weight you loss, I at first was very proud to admit that I got my band but now I feel I shouldn't have said it. My DH is an army recruiter and all the wives and girlfriends in his station are all teeny tiny women. This past weekend we went bowling and I felt like all of them were just looking at me to see if I lost anything. I really wanted to say something like, its not magic you know?? And it hasn't even been a month yet. It is frustrating.
-
My weekend was pretty good, I went drunk bowling w/some friends on saturday.... i didn't mean to get drunk its just since the band, my tolerance has went to crap lol. Sunday, I got my taxes done and cleaned the house. This daylight savings time kinda through off my morning. Oh love your new pics!
-
Happy Sunday to my lovely losers! Its me! The winner!!!
-
Wow that's good! So I weighed myself this morning and I'm back down to 226.4 So that brings me back to my 21lbs loss. Let's see If I can actually keep it off now. As for your little cheat, refried beans were your protein, the quacamole was your veggie/fruit (avacados are fruits right lol) and sour cream is dairy...so as I see it you were staying within the four food groups he he... (thats how you justify it lol). Ikow that I shouldn't be rushing this but I want to be at my sweet spot now. I hate that I'm able to eat more now. I'm so impatient. lol. Did you have a good weekend?
-
Oh wow yea your schedule is messed up. That's good that they are making sure that your healed before filling you. Have you lost anymore weight?
-
Thank you so much Debbie! Did you do anything extra to drop your 5 lbs? I understand this is a time for healing but I guess I'm too stuck on the fact that I want this weight gone and out of my life. I wasn't always heavy, the weight came on when I was married to my ex. I should've listened to my mom. He was very abusive and I started at 140 with him and within a year I was up to 240. My heighest weight was almost 260. I yo yoed back and forth between 215-240 for the last couple years and its just upsetting that I let myself get this way. I don't have any kids I just feel my body shouldn't look the way it does. My DH says the same thing that you say that I shouldn't be too hard on myself but I'm army brat, the daughter of a Command Sergeant Major who served 30 years in the Army, and I my dad always made me strive for perfection. I guess that I'm applying that mentality to my weightloss. Thank you so much for being there for me in my time of need. *Hugs*

OMG i can't believe that have you on liquids for so long. I actually get to start some solids next week. I've lost about 3 more lbs but now i'm just stabilizing i think its with introducing more foods. I cant wait to really start working out, i know that will help more with my weight loss. I'm glad you get to eat real food in a couple days!
-
Well my doctor said to take it easy until the first fill basically just walking. I think you will be fine to start of just walking. Plus it will help with your healing process. Just be careful. :laugh:

HOw long did it take to have a bm after surgery?
NCsQueen replied to ashleyb's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey there! First congrats on being banded. As for the BM it took almost a week for me to have one. I wouldn't get too worried unless its going on two weeks and if that happens you need to call your doctor. As for soup ideas.... I basically did the same as you. My husband made chicken and cream of chicken soup and blended up really good and that was a little more filling. I started of eating about 1/4 cup and 1/2 cup of food. As the swelling goes down in your stomach you will be able to eat more but you have to be careful and make good food choices. When I went onto mushies I gained 3-4lbs back mainly b/c I made one bad food choice and I feel like I can eat more. I don't want you to make the same mistake. I hope that helps and keep in touch! -
