Good for you!! So you go for your fill 2 days before mine.. you will have to tell me all the details!! Wishing you the best of luck this weekend!!
-
That is my biggest problem too I eat quickly. I find that I stuff things down way to quick and regret it after the 3rd bite! Good luck!!

I am doing good, my kids are keeping me very busy!! Just this stupid diarrhea that wont let up. They said it happens to some people when adjusting to the band. Oher than that holding steady at 19 pounds that fluctuates now that I am on regular foods. I go for my first fill the 21st. I do not feel much restriction at all. I eat much less but I am hungry (famished) 2 hours after eating. I am so happy for you I read your post and you are doing fantastic!!! I can't wait to be under 240!!!! I am 5feet 11 and was 244 for the longest then I had major back issues and ballooned up to 277!! The back issues keep me from really working out they way I want but hopefully when all this weight is off i will feel like a million bucks!!! Keep up the great work!!

Thats awesome! I am just curious since you have so much restriction what can't you eat at all?
-
I had mine on 6-21 and I feel hungry OFTEN! This started Friday for me. And I can eat just about anything since there is no restriction. I unfortunately tested that this weekend! I am still eating WAY LESS than I ever ate before and I have not had any sweets. I lost 19 pounds as of last fridays weigh in but I have a feeling now that I am on soft foods this week the scale will go up. When is your fill? Mine is the 21st!
-
I go back every Friday to meet with my nutritionist and get weighed in. So far so good. But now my diet changes today to "soft" food and I can eat meat again! I hope I don't put back any pounds! The nineteen pounds includes pre op diet. I have been feeling very good other than itchy incisions and some mild diarrhea here and there:thumbdown:. I go for my first fill on the 21st, can't wait for that because I am getting hungrier quicker now! Just curious for those who have had fills how soon after 1st fill did you get 2nd fill? Also any itchy incision remedies?
-
My 19 is both pre and post.. pre I lost 6 and post 13. They say the weight loss levels out after week 2 post op until you get a fill, but for everyone its different.
-
cool thanks for the tip! I have been eating mashed potatoes with purreed veggie soup all mixed together for dinner (i had purred chilli last night!). Yogurt/ protein shake for lunch and cream of wheat with 1 tsp of sugar free jelly for breakfast. I have noticed I can eat more the second week.
-
I am actually 12 days out today. I have been driving my kids from here to there all week! Shopping, walking, laundry, other house stuff. The only issue I have is itchy incisions. The port incision is a bit sore when I press on it but sleeping is 100% better!
-
I am now 2 weeks post op and found that I am stuck as well! I go 2 pounds up and down and I am hardly eating!! Its frustrating because if I eat 2 or 3 cookies (which I won't) the scale will automatically for up 5! LOL! Can't wait for first fill, do you know when yours is yet? Are your incisions ITCHY??
-
Well I made it through today! My husbands side of the family came over for BBQ and cake for my sons birthday. None of them know I was banded on Monday. So I was surrounded by food all day and I did not eat a thing. Told them all I was on a protein diet where I have to have 2 shakes a day. Most were fine with it, some shook their heads like I was crazy :thumbup: (very reason I didn't tell them). My husband was very compassionate and did not let me help at all.:cool2: I did not have to prepare or clean anything. I felt good today, but being out in 95 degree heat all day my incisions are sore and itchy. Today is definitely the best I felt! Sleeping is a different story I still have pain when I turn on my side but that too shall pass!!
-
Good for you!!! Sometimes we know best, 2 weeks on liquids seems very difficult post op. Especially since we are not restricted yet and I was getting hungry day 4. I can't wait to have eggs that will start on Friday for me! I also snuck some chicken salad in yesterday 3 oz and it held me over! Keep up the great work!
-
I know those noises! It took a week to get rid of my constant gurgling. And even now one and half week post op I get the sounds from time to time. Its gas! Great weight loss!!
-
Great news. Can you explain to me how you know just a little more will do it? I just was banded last week and I am a little confused by the fills.
-
I never realized just how many food commercials there were until the first week post op. Especially by day 3 when I was ready to eat SOMETHING! Good luck and be careful when you eat pureed and mushies I did too quickly because I was "starving" and I paid for it
-
Today was my best day. BUT family had a BBQ and it was the side that didnt know~!! That was hard. I had pureed veggie soup on 2 tablespoons of mashed potatoe for dinner..heavenly! My scale said 258 today (was 277 before preop diet!) so I am happy! GOOD for you!!! That is great news!! I still have some incision pain (5), especially at night .. you only had one right?
-
I was banded 6/21. I did not cry but I did have some panic attacks when I realized I REALLY DID IT! And I can't go out to eat with the husband and the kids for a while. Day 3 and 4 were hardest emotionally. And those DAMN food commericals. I swear I never knew how many food related commercials there were!! Then I went to the dr. and saw the major weight loss and it motivated me. After I spoke with them and came to the realization that I will be able to chew food one day soon it calmed me down. Hang in there~

Hi! I am now on day 7 and I am MUCH better! I too had the slouched over walk for several days! Pain when going to the bathroom or getting up from any sitting position. Today I would say is the best I have felt. My friend had it the same day and was up and about before me, I guess it just depends on the person. I also think it depends on the BELLY! I had 2 kids so my belly was bigger, it hung more which I think affected the pain. Make sense? It gets better I promise! Just take it easy and try to walk!

I went all day with just tylenol today:thumbup:. I was actually ok. The port is the only painful incision right now. Still very tired. The gas is a whole different story:sneaky:. During the night I had a lot of gas pain in my left rib area.:thumbup: I walked for an hour around the house and then took pain meds and was ok after I slept for 2 hours. Anytime I try to take liquids I hear this intense gurgling in my stomach. I was actually a little hungry today. One more day of liquids!! Anyone else start to feel hungry day 3? The "secret" is getting a little difficult because neighbors are calling. Trying to avoid everyone! One actually left a message saying, "Hi I see your husband and kids going and coming but I havent seen you, is everything ok?" In my neighborhood no one needs an alarm system, we got a couple of neighbors that are the local watchdogs :tt1:!
-
Good for you!! So the buffet place knew what it was or did you have to explain?? So you are on solids now without a problem? I have a week of mushies then soft then solid. Good luck with the packing!
-
Good luck I am 6 days post op! Please keep us posted this site is a great support!!
-
Good for you!! I am waiting to get my enegry back! I am good in the morning but then 1pm hits and I am exhausted. Thank god I have the summer off so I have time to take care of me! Hope the prilosec works! What other "solids" have you eaten that work?
-
Well I had my pureed soup last night and it was so good! Ten minutes after eating it I started to feel this incredibly full feeling and all sorts of noises came from my belly, gurgle, rumble you name it! I was too full. Big mistake I did not measure the soup I put it in a mug and only ate 3/4 of what was in there. I walked for an hour to try to relieve myself of that too full feeling. I burped a lot, everything stayed down but I was uncomfortable for a while. I guess I am still swollen, I just figured since I was able to take a mug of the liquid broth it was the same, wrong! Well as my 8 year old told me last night, now mommy have you learned your lesson? Yes lesson learned!
