Ok I am 7 weeks post-op. Had my 1st fill last week of 5cc's. I found out I don't tolerate cereal w/ milk that well. Other than that though I can still eat more than the 1/4 cup of food recommended. I am worried I will stretch out my pouch. I don't eat as much as I used to that's for sure, but I am able to eat more than I would like. Do any of your really only eat 1/4 cup of food per meal???

To me the lapband is in no way the easy way out. I was recently banded and still fight my food demons. Just because there is restriction does not mean you don't want to eat the same type of foods. You have to consciously make an effort every time you put something into your mouth to make it a healthy choice and abide by the rules of the band. Or else it won't be successful either. I am super afraid to fail at this too. This was the last chance and I am struggeling and learning every step of the way so far. What I would do is let it go in one ear and out the other, we do this as a last resort and for ourselves. Morons like that don't know their ass from a hole in the ground.

Who does 1/4 cup of food work for?
Mrs_Mauricio replied to Mrs_Mauricio's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
wow thank you all so much!!! I am happy that I am not the only one who thinks this amount is a little ridiculous but I questioned myself since I am new to this whole lifestyle. I was banded in Mexico and my Dr. there gave me a diet until week 6. Then I was on my own. I went and got filled through Fill Centers USA and they EMPHASIZE through all of their literature and their Dr's that 1/4 is the way to go. So I was confused. But thanks to this website, I am glad you all are here for me! -
so far 27lbs. i wish i would lose more but little at a time. i am waiting on some Unjury protein to come in the mail, once i start increasing my protein again the weight will start dropping off. thanks for the comment! how are you doing so far?

Mrs_Mauricio replied to Mrs_Mauricio's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Brad, thanks for your input. I have also been told to eat frequent smaller meals to keep metabolism up. Instead, if I don't I think my body just clings to the food I do get and stores it. I think I will try this approach. Of course my caloric intake won't be as high as yours since my workout right now consists of a treadmill for 30min lol but, I think the concept is right for me. -

Thank you all for the posts!!! I was starting to get worried like there was something wrong w/ me. I can eat about a cup of food right now, but notice I need to keep a better track of the type of foods I'm eating. -
I am there with you! I totally consider this the last resort and am desperately afraid to fail at this too. I have alot of high hopes riding on this thing but I am trying to keep it in perspective and know its just one day at a time. We will pass this bump in the road together

Damn a 14??? Thats awesome! I havnt seen that size since I was 18 lol. The scale still has not BUDGED!!! I am so frustrated! Even after the fill I can still eat more than 1/4 cup of food. I don't eat as much as I did before the fill but it's aggravating me. I think I need to start keeping track of inches because I definitly feel the loss in my thigh's and waist and arms. My clothes are baggy in those areas. I started up my exercise again today, I had been falling off because they switched my work schedule n I just havn't gotten back on track yet. I also need to buy more protein powder....I think once I do that the pounds will start to come off again...ugh...

Banded and Verrry happy with results
Mrs_Mauricio replied to mddorame's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Hey hey I was banded by Dr. Zapata too! I had a great experience save for the pain. I don't think I was mentally prepared for that. This being my 1st surgery ever. Apart from that, Dr. Zapata and his staff are awesome! I hope to get to where you are Mddorame! -
Me either, no weight loss! But I got my 1st fill today. They put in 5cc's. I felt the restriction right away as she was putting the saline in, and right now I think I drank too much (feeling a little nauseaus and some back aches?) anyway.. I hope this will keep me restricted for awhile. I can't wait to start dropping the pounds again. I am in the same spot you are Alcine. I don't think my weight loss is that noticeable yet. My face looks the same I think. I do feel my pants looser around my thighs and butt. NO NOT MY BUTT! Thats the one thing I want to keep lol!!! But I was able to put on a pair of jeans I havn't worn since 2007 and they fit comfortably. Not loose, but I could button and zip them w/ no problem. A little snug around the waist but not seriously. I just keep thinking *a year from now, a year from now* lol

skinny bitch!!! lol jk love it!!! -
congratulations!!! -
thanks for the pic comment
i cant wait till tomorrow to get my fill...i'm feeling super fat lol. dude, i went to the dr. yesterday to get a physical for school and their scales say i am 7 lbs heavier than what my scale says!!! i was like oh no!!! i think i need to invest in a new scale. POS!!!! -
Hey how are you feeling now? Still dropping??? I have seriously stalled, even gained back 3-4lbs. Hopefully getting my fill on Wednesday will help! Wish me luck!

This was my 1st surgery also. And I was not prepared for the pain! Initially, my stomach GROWLED!!! I was so hungry in the beginning. I think because my body was not used to the very small amounts I would be getting. I would get full so fas off a little jello or broth but then I would wake up my stomach on fire! I have been walking since 2 weeks post-op 30 min. I try at least 3 times a week. And yesterday I did the elliptical for 15min and then walked 15min. I think I need to increase my protein, when I did that with my 1st stall the weight started shedding off immediately again. I think my biggest problem now is that I can eat normal food. And now I definitly don't feel restriction and if I had will power I wouldn't need this band. So I am just trying not to be a pig and eat the wrong things until the 1st.

btw...u are very pretty and will be smashing when u drop the weight, ur already gorgeous!
