I was banded in Aug 2011 but had a port correction in Dec. I've lost 50lbs and haven't lost any weight in over a month. I'm getting depressed and I've lost my motivation. I haven't worked out in a few weeks and I am not making good food choices. Need help/suggestions with getting back on track...please help!!

I've lost 11lbs since being banded and I stopped losing weight when I started eating more solid foods. I'm getting depressed and feeling a lot of pressure from family and friends that mean well. Should I be worried?

Do you know what I really miss?
martie4 replied to Pinkygirl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was banded 8/23 and I'm still supposed to be 'sipping' water and protein, but I miss chugging water. The only thing I've been doing is taking a big gulp, holding it in my mouth and swallowing it slowly or spitting out the rest. Not the same as being able to chug. So far just missing water & chewing gum. -
I am so thankful that this website exists! I was banded on 8/23/11 and my hunger pains were so bad they were painful. I still have heartburn and gas but after I ate something with more substance, it helped. Thank you all for your input because I no longer feel alone regretting my decision to be banded. Hope everyone feels better soon!

Pain meds for shoulder and abdominal pain
martie4 replied to anewchapter's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I started getting really bad stomach cramps and shoulder pain when I was in my sons car last night and i thought I was going to die. I'm 4 days post op so I havent eaten anything solid in a week. Clear liquids are killing me! I got some really good advice to eat more protein and drink lots of water, and walk. Its good to know more solid food will help lessen the pain.
