Week 3 Post Op Eating too much
icequeen813 replied to pibirdman's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
:smile2:mdhannant,Quit "beating yourself up"! First of all you must eat your 800-1200 cal. Your body is in starvation mode & you are still healing! Another suggestion is to quit weighing yourself! Just weigh when you go to md"s office. You can do this... follow your LAP-BAND® diet,exercise, "get your head on straight", use this great tool we banders have chosen to have placed in our bodies! -

Banding Oct. 15th When to Buy Supplies
icequeen813 replied to Timoyal's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi! It is not too soon to order your Protein drinks. I would do a little researh first& decide what protein brand you want,for instance,Isopure,Syntrax. I use Syntrax nectar,to be honest I never tasted anything else. Comparison shop also, I think Bariatric eating doesn't have the cheapest pricing! -
You go girl... fistpump!

My friend drinks. Can she still have the lap band surgery?
icequeen813 replied to Laundromatlady's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Before she has her surgery she still has to be medically&surgically clear from her physcians,incuding a psych eval. A competant MD will pick up on the etoh abuse. It is not your place to play narc! -
how long after operation did you get first fill
icequeen813 replied to lovemysgt's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
5-6 weeks after surgery seems to be typical -
You have lost 62#s in less than 5 months that is more than the expected 1-2 lb wt loss a week! Keep up the good work!

I drink Roadside Lemonade & Fuzzy Navel. Just add 8-16 oz, & stir. -
Betsy, I just knew you had to be a nurse like myself! Just after having my psych eval. I realized that many nurses abuse food,drugs,alcohol,etc. We took care of everyone except ourselves. I thinkthat is why I have done so well with this journey. I stated taking care of me!

Newbie here...wondering is it really worth it?
icequeen813 replied to dreamangel1974's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Have you had your psych eval yet? You will discuss with the doc.issues such as dealing with behavioral changes.The lapband is a tool:it is up to you to make the right food choices, exercise, to eat to live & not live to eat! -
Is there a chance this will happen to me?
icequeen813 replied to camann's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Don't worry,if you make the right choices you will lose weight! Remember don't believe everything you read on these forums; Read them you'll know what I mean... a good one is" what did you eat today?" Read what people are eating... same bad food choices we made before the banding. The band is a wonderful tool,if used properly ,it will work for you. -
1st day with the band
icequeen813 replied to tle5000's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You need to notify the surgeon if there is a baseball size lump,it is not the port. You could possibly have a hematoma. Do you have fever? -
Frustrating and Venting
icequeen813 replied to OneYearLater's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My suggestion is to stop weighing yourself everyday.Concentrate on "listening to your body",instead of watching the scale. You body is healing, & is adjusting to a new intake.After surgery you tend to "pee like a racehorse" from the iv fluids& the liquids we drink,so we lose Water weight. When you start on your mushies & regular food the real weight will start to come off. -
usually 5-6 weeks post-op
