I went for my first fill last month and found out i lost 50 pounds. Since then I have not lost one pound and I feel as if I can eat more and more though I try not too. Can anyone help me figure out why I havent lost anything? Also can anyone give me and idea of what there eating to lose the weight

So im going on my sixth week and I was so hungry and tried to find something to eat in my house and all i found was a lean cuisine pocket so I tried it. Now I feel awful. I have the sweats, I threw up twice i have acid reflux and my chest hurts a little. Any advice from anyone? AND NO I WILL NEVER DO THAT AGAIN

Hi I am week 5 post op. I have one more week on the soft food diet but I am already at a loss for what to eat and what not to eat. Everywhere I go there seems to be no food for me. I am starting to become afraid to eat foods! Like when has anyone tried steak? Does anyone have a problem with shrimp? My friends want me to go and eat with them but i keep refusing because everything seems to be fried including the seafood. Plus I am getting totally freaked out about getting something stuck in there that has to be surgically removed. Please anyone have any advice? I never thought I would start having an aversion to food in general.

I was banded on 2/9 and am having a very tough time on the mushy stage. I feel like i'm going to pass out all the time. I get waves of dizziness. I am getting tired of tuna and eggs. I tried pureed chic and turkey and it made me throw up. Yogurt does the same. Any suggestions. It is so hard not to try and put something in your mouth thats not mushy.HELP

Im sure that once you get your fill your weight loss will jump start again. I am getting my first fill april 1 and cannot wait for it.

I had the same pain that you are talking about especially around the port and I am a G cup. I think its totally normal. After two weeks time the pain went away for me.

I have just started the mushy faze today. 1/4 cup of protein 3 times a day plus two snacks i can have i.e fruit veggies pureed and so on. My question well the first one is that I get a lot of dizzy spells at least twice a day along with a headache. I was wondering if anyone has ever experienced that? I wont have my first fill until april 1 and i can't wait cause the food is not filling me but i will not cheat i refuse. The second question I have is that I have been getting a lot of muscle cramps i.e my leg or arm falling asleep. Has anyone experienced that before?

I went to the doc overall it was a good appointment he said i was doing great lost 18 pounds total in three weeks. He said that was amazing in itself. He put me on mushies yay for the mushies. I have been getting leg cramps alot lately as well as arm cramps. And dizzy spells has anyone had the same symptoms.

Congrats for you. its your first step in your new journey in life.

Today was my first day back at work and everywhere I turned there was food. My company is big on food. There was choc covered fruit, there was chicken quesidillas and everyone seemed to be talking about food. Maybe its just me and this has always been a reg thing and I'm just noticing but Food was like WHAM right in my face today. I was good though I didnt have the fruit with choc or anything I am still on protein drinks after all. Tommorrow I have my first doc apt and see how much Ive lost since my surgery. I can't wait to see and then its on to pureed food i believe. At least its some kind of food. I look forward to the day when i can eat normally i think thats four weeks away but it is hard listening to everyone talkin about food but i guess thats life.

wow what happened to your port that it has to be replaced? I have never heard of that before I am just curious so I can look out for mine I just had surgery on the 9th of this month

Hunger is very normal I had my surgery on Feb 9th and I am starving I can't move onto mushies until I see the doc on wed.I went grocery shopping today and every aisle I got more and more hungry. But I have been strong and haven't ate anything that I shouldn't figures crossed I stay that way.

Today is Sunday and I am starving I mean starving to the point where I have to force myself not to go into the fridgerator. And let me tell you the protein shake is just not cutting it. I had to go grocery shopping today and going down all the aisles were killing me. I swear my tongue was drooling. I can't wait to be able to eat even if its 1/4 cup of pureed food. I went and bought turkey, chicken tuna, light mayo, fruit cocktail light, cottage cheese, yogurt. hurray for yogurt it will be a feat just to get me to eat the yogurt and cottage cheese. Oh i bought reduced fat cheese and eggs. Definitly made me hungry
