WOW I NEED HELP> I have only lost 30lbs since 3/30. I know I have to eat better and I am trying. I have cut so much out of my diet BUT I can be doing better. I am strarting to feel better and look better in clothes, which doesnt help me much. I am losing about 1.5lbs a week. I did have a hard time at first with the band not being tight but it has been working well for the last 2 weeks.

I just had my second fill yesterday. I hope this works. I did not feel any restictions. Does it take two weeks to react? Why do you have to drink fluids for 2 days, then musy foods? please answer soon. Also I did lose 4 lbs at my visit. I was quite surprise since I did it without a fill. Is there anyone out ther willing to be my support person. I need someone to be accountable to. I am doing this alone and could use the support.

My Dr. said he has some pt.s that did not need a fill for 1 year. This is not me.

I think that is what is wrong with me. I had my first fill and I am still eating alot I think. No wt. lost and I gained wt. I will call my Dr. and see what is wrong I am so discouraged. I just want this to work and loss wt. I need to increase my excericse also, just 1x aday now.

I need help. I had my first fill 5/23. I still can eat anything and I do not know what to do. I am always feeling hungry and I can eat anything. I have to watch myself. I have started back to my old habits of snacking. I do not seem to get full at all. I also gained 2.5 lbs which have really made me down. It just seem like I am hungry all the time and not full.

Take it easy. I did not have a desire to eat and at times I still do not. Had to get Isopure protein to drink. Make sure you are drinking well. Had lap band 3/30 and still no fill, due to poor appetite and good wt. lost, 23lbs since 3/30.

:hungry: I just do not have a appetite at times, Sometimes I am so nauseated.Then some days I can eat. I am also having trouble drinking,I feel terible at times then a day or two later i am fine. Did anyone feel this way 4 weeks post-op? no fills yet.

Hi Yes I felt the same way, what did I do. You do need to walk and it does get better I promise. To bad you had to go back to work so soon. I was still on pain meds. until the second week. Things got better. Now I feel great a little sore if I bend to the right where the port is. I am having trouble eating solids, sometimes my stomach just doesnot want it. So I went back on liquids 2x a day. I am still bloated after drinking or eating.

Thank You it worked

Hi My name is Julia and I was banded on 3/30:) . Things went well here in G.R. I can say afew days post op I did have second thoughts. But now things are going fine and I am ready to stop drinking and add solids to my diet. My first fill is on 4/16. My beginning wt. was 298, I lost 9 lbs prior to surgery and do not know what I weigh now. I do feel I have lost at least 5 lbs because my clothes are loose. I am walking some but have not started regular exercise again yet.

Thanks for showing me the Ticker

Please be patient.You have made the first step.

Hello I am waiting for approval. It is helpful to read about others, is their a way to get a ticker at the bottom? also how can I post that I need someone to talk to maybe from Mi. but anywhere I just need a person feel very alone here.

Congratulations , wish it was me. Safe journey,God bless and keep you while you start this wonderful hard journey back to good health.

If you can do it. I am trying very hard to get the surgery. I think I am going to self pay. I will need to have a co signer but I do not care. I have tried since 1978 to loss wt. diet pills,fast,all type of diets, egg and grapefruit, Jenny Craig etc., but have ended up at the same ore more wt. now at 294 I want to stop this cycle I have adopted 7 children and want to see them finish school and start their life. Only if I was in your shoes I will say yes Lord I am ready to stare a new journey you have open the door. God Bless and Keep you as you start a new chapter.

If so, so am I. I want to eat better,live longer and look better. I am just starting this long process. I may have to self-pay. But nothing is going to stop me this time. My mind is made up,and I am just tired of being fat, not being able to go up and down stairs easy etc. Best wishes on your new jounery.

Help I live in Mi. and want this . What should I do. I want to live.
