Its nice sorta i guess to understand its just a slow process because the scale is not moving at all for me i was banded in jan and i follow the rules and i cant loose but my clothes are falling off i am down about 6sizes and i just dont get it can someone give me and idea of what you take in for a day of meals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so discouraged right now

I am about 3mos out and yes certain foods do get stuck and you have to hope it works itself down or bring it back up, but you will learn what foods agree with you and what doesnt but the main thing is too chew, chew,chew, chew take it slow

My nutritionist says the same on caffine but far as diet soda or carbonation water its fine after 6mos she says that is myth about the carbonation messing with band or pouch its totally false.I believe my nutritionist she has done much research and she does alot of consult with the lapband company itself.

I personally buy unjury and my nutritionist gave me different receipes, i am 3mos out but i still make a shake a day it helps towards the protien.

You have to realize that you are in the dr's office with clothes on and most time you have eaten and drank already for that day, i work with alot of nurses in my field i was always told to weigh yourself first thing in am with no clothes on and thats the true weight,When i do that and then go dr its about 2-3 lbs difference the nurse says thats normal.

i got a fill a few days ago and nothing comes up but when i drink its like i automatically burp everytime and i gurgle, should i get unfill

MY DR AT 6WKS POST OP DIDNT WANT TO GIVE ME A FILL EITHER HE SAID MY WEIGHT LOSS WASNT BAD, BUT I SAID I WANTED WANT ONE AND HE GAVE ME 3CC'S I GO BACK MONDAY I STILL FEE L HUNGRY ALOT SO I WILL SEE WHAT HE SAYS NOW

Yes its 6wks thats what my surgeon says you dont want bother that port doing too much!!!!!!!!

HELLO EVERYONE I AM A MONTH AND HALF POST OP I WAS WONDERING WHAT TYPE OF beverages DO YOU GUYS DRINK I DO DRINK ALOT OF Water BUT MY NUTRITIONIST SAID ONLY drinks THAT ARE 10 CALORIES OR LESS BUT THAT GETS ON MY NERVES SOMETIMES, I KNOW THAT BEVERAGES CAN ADD UP IN CALORIES ALSO. SO PLEASE GIVE ME SOME THOUGHT ON THIS MAYBE SOMETHING NEW

my new nutritionist says its for 6mos from surgery only because they put so much gas in you to move around during your surgery and using a straw with contribute more air.

HELLO EVERYONE I WAS BANDED 1/17/2011 IN BALTIMORE MD, AS OF MONDAY I WAS 7WKS POST-OP I HAVE LOST 25LBS A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED BUT I AM HAVING A HARD TIME EAT ENOUGH CALORIES, BUT I AM STILL HAPPY AT THE SAME TIME I VE BEEN GOING THRU THE TRIAL AND ERROR PHRASE WITH EATING TO FAST BUT PRETTY MUCH OK, I HAD MY FIRST FILL LAST WEEK, MY DOCTOR DIDNT PUT ME ON A PRE-OP DIET B4 THE SURGERY IF I HAD PROBALY WOULD BE DOWN MORE BUT ALL IS WELL, EVERYONE PLZ STAY IN TOUCH SO WE CAN DO THIS TOGETHER.

IF I EAT TO MUCH WHICH I MEASURE EVERYTHING OUT NOT INTENTIONALLY OVEREATING , BUT IF I DO MY STOMACH FEELS TERRIBLE LIKE I CAN EXPLODE IT ALL UP AND I AM BENT OVER AWFUL

YOU WILL BE OKAY MY SURGEON DIDNT REQUIRE ME ANY PR OP DIET B4 SURGERY AT ALL, BUT AFTER TO SURGERY I STILL DID GOOD AND STUCK TO THE DIET PLAN PERFECT, SO IT WILL BE OKAY, PLUS I WAS IN SO MUCH PAIN I DIDNT THINK ABOUT REGULAR OR ANYFOOD AT ALL,LOL BUT JUST REMEMBER TO TELL FRIENDS AND FAMILY YOU NEED SUPPORT EVEN AFTER SURGERY MY FRIENDS AND MY SONS ARE ALWAYS LIKE MOM IS THAT OK FOR YOU BECAUSE THEY WANT ME TO DO THE RIGHT THING TO SUCCEED AND FOR MY HEALTH, BECAUSE YOU WILL BE HEALING

I NEVER WAS A BREAKFAST B4 THE SURGERY, SO WHAT I DO IS MY PROTEIN SHAKE EVERY AM AND THAT PRETTY MUCH HOLDS ME TIL LUNCH BUT SOMETIMES ON THE WEEKEND I WILL TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT BUT SHAKES ARE GOOD FOR ME AND I AM GETTING IN ALOT OF THE PROTIEN FOR THE DAY

I AM THE SAME WAY I CAN NOT EAT MUCH AT ALL MOST OF THE TIME ANYWAY, WHAT I DO I STILL USE MY UNJURY PROTEIN POWDER AND I MAKE SHAKES WHEN I CANT GET IT ALL IN BECAUSE ONE SCOOP IS 20GRAMS AND I 6WKS POST OP

PS. COULD NOT EAT HARDLY ANY OF NONE OF THE MEALS, THOUGH LOL, ITS FUNNY HOW YOU FIX YOUR PLATE THINKING YOUR GOING TO EAT THAT AND CANT

B: OATMEAL L:CHEF SALAD WITH TURKEY,HAM,CHEESE,CUCUMBER,AND LITE BLUE CHEESE D:TURKEY BURGER 4OZ OF CHOPPED BROCCOLI

WELL YOU SAID YOU A FILL ON WED EVENING DID YOUR SURGEON INSTRUCT YOU ANY RULES CONCERNING EATING, I HAD MY FIRST FILL ON MONDAY EVENING AND MY SURGEON SAYS WITH EVERY FILL YOU HAVE TO 2DAYS OF LIQUIDS AFTERS IT , THEN 2 DAYS MUSHIES THEN BACK TO SOLIDS IN THAT ORDER AND TAKE YOUR TIME CHEWING.

EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT MY NUTRIONIST TOLD ME THAT SOME PEOPLE HAVE VERY GOOD RESTRICTIONS B4 FILLS AND OTHERS CAN EAT THE SAME AS B4 SURGERY, MYSELF I EAT ALOT OF MASH POTATOES BUT ONLY A 1/2 CUP MAYBE A CUP BT NOT OFTEN, WHAT I DID WAS BUY 4OZ CONTAINERS AND FILL UP WITH WHAT I M EATING AND THATS ALL I ATE NO MORE!!
