I had surgery on July 17th this year. I didnt really follow the post surgery diet. (I know bad!) I recieved my first fill august 20th, where I weighed 245. I have religiously worked out since then, 5 times a week for an hr everyday.. im very athletic and do bootcamp classes, run atleast a mile everyday or the tredmill! Also, I've been eating leancuisine meals religiously through out the weekday. breakfast- oatmeal & apple (200 cal) Lunch- Lean cusine (250 cal) Dinner- Lean Cusine (300 cal) and I usually eat 1 cup cottage cheese through out the day. So like 800 cals a day. I do have a cheat day on saturdays but i never go crazy.. just let my self drink alcohol. lol Also, I need a fill but kinda broke right now. (I can't wait!!) I have changed my life style so much!! Its awesome! Although, I weighed 231.6 this past Saturday morning. I cheated over the weekend drank/ate alot.. Today I weighed 237!!! WTF Its been like 3 months and ive only lost 10 LBS!! How are all of yall losing so much weight?? I dont get it! What am I doing wrong?! Cheating one day a week should NOT make me gain that much.. im sure its Water weight and ill prob be like 234 tmrw. But still thats only 11 lbs down! HELP ME PLEASE!!! Amanda, July 17-surgery ( 250 ) August 20- first fill (245) Current- 235

Congrats on your surgery!! I got banded on July 17. I am 10 days out.. I've been feeling great and not really in pain anymore. Last Friday my family went to a mexican restaurant.. omg so hard not to eat enchiladas. So I choose to just have a margarita instead. lol. I definitly got alot more tipsy than normal. But I think I was fine.. I mean it was a liquid and im nto really trying to worry about empty calories until I get filled. Good Luck to you! I think its your choice and you should listen to your doctor but like I said I don't think alcohol messes anything up. But DO NOT OVER DRINK and end up throwing up.. you could majorly mess up your band then. I think you should just have one or two glasses lol not four. But its your choice your body.. GOOD LUCK!! Hope I helped. -
Hey!! How are you doing?
My first few days were so hard.. I was in so much pain mostly my port and my chest. Deep breaths hurt super bad. It has gotten alot better but the last few days my lower stomach hurts.. not sure if the protein shakes are to thick or something. Sometimes im fine and sometimes im in pain lol kinda weird.
How are you? Are you in alot of pain?

I hope you are feeling well...i had mine yesterday...if you need anything don't hesitate to message me!!!

Hey I read your post, and I felt like you were attacked, you just asked a question. To answer your question I didn't cheat on my post op diet but I felt like I could. But if you did cheat, it was that one time and as you said, you learned from it. And as we live our lives we learn from things. Wish you best during this lap band journey, I had my surgery July 12th, right now i'm in the soft foods stage.

Okay guys.. I appreciate all the responses. I would like to apologizes for calling "fatty no more" a vulture. I shouldn't have been so dramatic. But I would also like to note that my doctor in Mexico is available at all times and he was so awesome after my surgery. I had multiple counselors that went over the steps and phases of this new lifestyle before and after my surgery. And yes I did pay out of pocket and should be protecting this band more than anything! All in all I cheated and I do feel horrible. I will be choosing healthier options like Protein shakes if im really having a hard time. THANK YOU ALL

Haha you are ridiculous.. am I not allowed to ask a question with out being lectured!! Chill out over there I explained that I had no problems with it. I received multiple private messages with people given their stories.. all of them said they were afraid to post the truth due to volchers like you. This is a up lifting group.. you should be ashamed.

I was banded on saturday July 17. Its now thursday july 22, and ive already cheated. My gas pains and everything have kinda gone away.. super bad at first! Im so sick of drinking chicken broth and apple juice lol. So I woke up this morning and ate 1 egg with some cheese and onions. Not gonna lie I was a lil uncomfortable for like 10-15 min but no problem after that. I don't plan on cheating any more but its tempting when I really had no problem eating the food. Since im not filled wont all the food go straight through anyways? There is 2 stiches attaching my band to my stomach. I know those need to heal but im not sure im convinced that eating eggs early will affect it. My original diet is- 1st wk: Clear liquids 2nd wk: Liquids 3rd wk: mushies 4th wk: solids Did anyone else cheat early? Did you have problems? BANDED JULY 17 2010 in Mexico. STARTING- 245lbs
