23 days post op amazing cannot believe I am almost one month post op. Well I got on the scale today and I have lost 23 lbs total since my preop diet. I guess the number 23 is my lucky number today..lol. I feel so good I even went to the gym today for the first time since surgery I did only do 35 min walking and at a slow pace but its the start. I could feel if I where to speed up that it would be to much for me to handle at the point because I'm still a little sore. Its true when people say listen to what you body is telling you because you don't want to over do yourself and your mind can sometimes take control and then you hurt yourself. Well everyone have a great day! For those of you going through surgery today or throughout the week Congrats to you and the beginning of your journey take care and keep us posted.

Waiting for Approval for LapBand
CreatingPspFun replied to CreatingPspFun's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Hi ReAnnah, nice to meet someone from Wyoming. I sent all my stuff to them and still haven't heard. I'll be going to the one in Cheyenne, they say going to Casper takes longer for booking the operating room (go figure). Are you going through Cheyenne Regional Medical Center? Did you know they can send you the seminar on CD, so you don't have to spend the gas money to get to Casper, unless you actually live close enough. I'm to the point of calling them to see if they received my materials. It's been almost 3 weeks since I sent it and I still haven't heard anything. I even collected my own medical records. So good luck, it'll be cool to keep in touch with you.Renee -

So, I am 6 weeks postop today, and I want to do the C25K program. I am very worried about something dislodging or flipping due to the jarring of running. Most of you feel this is okay? I am really scared to do much. My surgeon did tell me I could do anything as long as there was no pain, but I do still have the fear. Maybe I just need reassurance, IDK?

Hi all - Chancie asked me to let you all know the following: "I just spent almost 2 hours trying to reply to threads... and only answered probably 4. My computer bit the dust.... and I'm on an old one of my sons ( windows 98 ) and my broad band isn't compatable with it.... I live in the country and all we have is dial up, but I finnally got verizon broad band that was working soooo good!" "Would you let the everyone know that I'm not ignoring the posts... and all the new people.. I'm really amazed at how many there are! Plus working in retail.. the next 2 weeks ( or more ) are gonna be crazy- and I can't spend hours on here tyring to post- ( pisses me off LOL when its soooooo slow ) I FINNALLY found a place that I can relate to, and I love this site- and don't want to feel like I'm ignoring things. Hoping I can find a computer on sale with the holidays coming.... sighhhhhhh when it rains it pours!"

I am only 7 days post-op. Pre-surgery I often skipped periods. I had my period just a week before surgery. I dropped 23 lbs. my first week & got my period today. Have you found since surgery that your period cycles are different? Do you also find that you are a little more "hormonal" than you were before surgery. Thanks in advance.

I have to say, flying in an airplane without having to ask for the dreaded belt extender was one of my very first NSVs and it made my whole week! I was very comfortable and super excited about it. You are going to love the feeling. It really is not a small thing at all!

Bout A Month Post-Op!
Bella86 replied to ThinnerTiff's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm in week 3 and I swear I've stalled, maybe I'm not getting enough Protein I don't know, lost about 4kg since surgery and nothing since Monday. Can anyone see if I join the Facebook page?? There are a lot of ppl I haven't told -
"I feel skinnyyyyyy, oh so skinnyyyyy....." So this happened. I'm back to my lowest post op weight today. Yay. This is big. I've been bouncing into and out of Onederland for SIX months. A month and a half ago I made some big changes to my food and behaviors. It resulted in the loss of ten pounds I gained back from my low weight last year up to that point. So today I'm back down to 193, back on track, and feeling great. Less than fifty pounds to goal. I started thinking I'd make a list of what's going right. When I can't figure out why things are slowing down or going in reverse, I'll pull out this list and see what I'm doing or not doing. Here goes. Feel free to add your own tips to this thread. Tracking food in MyFitnessPal. Weighing daily. Going to OA and CODA meetings. Therapy every two weeks. Planning food the day before and committing it to my OA sponsor. Staying under 1200 calories a day. No fried food. No carby Thai noodles. No movie crapcorn. Two fruit or p rotein shake s nacks a day. Measuring out nuts instead of guessing the portion. No alcohol. Healthy, boring, simple foods like eggs and cheese and yogurt and meatballs. Way fewer processed foods. Bye bye bread. Just because I drop it in the salad bowl doesn't make it salad. Log it. (See nuts, measured, above.) Journaling. Listening to weight loss and addiction recovery podcasts. Obeying my band. It says "enough"? I stop. I have found that this same fill level that I have been at since August suddenly is just right. Before these changes, I was contemplating another fill because I was able to eat too much. But even then I would get stuck on certain foods if not chewed thoroughly. I wisely took my NP's advice and cleaned up the food and drink before getting a ninth fill. I don't need it now. I'm at the sweet spot, the green zone, the holy grail of band land. It took about four weeks for me to stop daydreaming about the perfect meal and missing my fried foods. Today I crave veggies and simple meals. It's a miracle. But I can't stress enough how important the "head and heart" work is. I am working very, very hard on the emotional and spiritual recovery from my food addiction. Like every day. No kidding. So anyway, just wanted to share this joyful stuff and ask others to pile on. What's going right for you?

Where will I be in 3 months? 12 months?
tinksmom posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Ok, OK, I know everyone is different,everything depends on one's individual commitment, etc, etc, BUT one of the things I want to do for motivation is to get a couple "dream outfits". I've window shopped a bit and that's fun but I want one hanging on the closet door to keep me motivated...maybe more than one so I can swap them out. Now...what size do I pick? I was banded in April and have lost about 2 lbs a week...so on track for a nice sane weight loss. I'm looking for average size differences from those who have gone before me on this journey. I'm starting at the dreaded 2X; what was your dress size change at 3, 6, 12 months...or whenever you noticed it? I have found it hard to even visualize the way my body will look in the future, which I never expected. -
Oh I'm so happy you are ok!!! I thought something God forbid happened. Im so glad you are doing better!!! I'm fine. Go for my labs this weekend. 12 weeks this weds! Can't believe it. All the best to you.

OMG , have you had the tv on in the last 4 days.. we are being bombarded with commercials showing us how we are supposed to look.. "the fast and effective way to lose weight fast" these bastards make billions of dollars every year off of people just like us who for some reason turn to food for comfort. they prey on us like a lion preys on a wilderbeast. i for one am sick of it... and then in a couple weeks the gym memberships commercials and fitness equiptment commercials will go away and will be replaced with restaurants and fast food commercials driving us insane. Thank god i was banded in late june.. my life has almost completely turned around.. i still have lots of issues to work through emotionally but i am getting there. Here is a warning for all you newly banded.. you are going to feel sexy and wonderful as the weight comes off. that feeling is like a crack addiction you are going to want it more and more.. do not let it consume you. i am down 104lbs and still going i will stop at 200lbs.. it is much slower weight loss now.. but thats ok.. i got into a 36 jean on friday and it was a little loose so even though the scale doesnt seem to budge much.. apparently the inches are still going away.. i have gone from a 4xl shirt to a 2x t shirt that i can actually put in the dryer.. anyway turn off the tv... dont by into any of the bullshit they show and just walk , bike and in general get off your bottom.. and i promise it will happen for you... stay strong

It IS hard! But, do hang in there! You're doing a good thing for yourself. One thing I found that helps is taking a walk when the family eats. Get out and away from the smell and the sight of food. Use the time to do something else good for you..exercise. Or, if it's too late in the evening for that, go take a shower and brush your teeth. Anything to avoid the temptation! You have a rough few weeks ahead of you. It will be easier if you go ahead and find ways to handle the temptations. Good luck to you!

Last week, my doctor referred me to a Gastric Sleeve Surgeon. I attended his open house and I have a consultation reserved later this month. I contacted my insurance agency because part of their requirements is for me to work with a Bariatric Case Manager. I spoke with her today and she informed me of a few new wrinkles. My insurance company only covers surgeries through a Bariatric Center of Excellence. That doctor is not part of any centers that have that certification. A few days ago, I stumbled across this forum (and another). I realize that going to Mexico and paying for my own surgery is an actual option. I wrote my doctor and she is discouraging me from this route. She made it clear that my insurance will not pay for any additional surgeries that rise out of complications. I could go with my insurance but it will take anywhere between 7-12 months before I can have the surgery. Whereas, if I paid, I could probably do it in September or October. I really, really want to self-pay and do it in September. But, I am also afraid of not being covered for any after-care treatment. Did anyone else have a similar choice?

Weight loss can be pretty fast, depending on your weight when you start. Most studies suggest patients lose an average of 50% of their excess weight within 18 months. Sometimes rapid weight loss is mostly water loss, which is not good. Your dr will probably tell you the goal is 1 to 2 lbs per week at the beginning. The actual results really vary by person, but counting your calories, protein grams and exercise per the dr's instruction will produce good results. I started my weight loss journey at 455 lbs on march 1. I am down 112 lbs from that weight today. Hope this helps.

I am just a little over 5 weeks out from VSG today, I have been so hungry!! I feel like I could eat all day. I am doing ok-I am at 700 calories and have hit 68 grams of Protein so far. I haven't gone over 600 calories since surgery. I have also been weepy and hormonal today-FYI had a partial hysterectomy 4 years ago-it could be PMS but I have no way of tracking it. I'm just a whiny butt today!! Thanks for listening to me whine. Just needed to get that out!!
