I am 5 mo post op and I think I am losing my will power. I have 5 cc in my band and I still get very hungry at times. Now I have this pain that comes and goes under my left ribs. ?? gas pains?? I have lost 6o lbs all together - 22 being pre-surgery weight loss and the rest post-op. I think i have put on like 7 lbs in the past 2 weeks. I am having a problem with my achilles tendon and can barely walk so I cant get to the gym to work out. Any suggestions??

Hi all, I am 29 and I have been overweight most of my life. I had the lap band done on 5/19/10. I went to the seminar that my surgeons office provides on 2/17/10 and I started dieting that day. As of the surgery date I lost 29 lbs on my own. From 5/17-5/24 I lost another 8.5 lbs. For anyone that is post op, do you have a feeling like you are not really hungry but that you mostly just want something to chew on?? On 5/24 my surgeon told me I could start back on the protein shakes having one for every main meal and plenty of water in between. I keep weighing myself and I think that I have only lost another 6 lbs in a week. Does this sound right?? Any info or thoughts are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!
