  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. My Dr. said he has some pt.s that did not need a fill for 1 year. This is not me.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. :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.
  8. 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.
  9. Thank You it worked

  12. 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.
  13. Thanks for showing me the Ticker
  14. Please be patient.You have made the first step.
  15. 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.
