My mom was a member of Curves for three years along with her group of lady friends. They went religiously but none of them ever lost any weight! I'd invest in a regular gym membership. You need good cardio options to lose fat. Jumping up and down for 30 seconds at a time just isn't going to do it. Best wishes!

After 2 months of walking, I thought I'd give this a try. I have to wear a knee support. I'm using podcasts to tell me when to run and walk. I will have to do week 1 for more than one week though.

I'm self pay- no endo either, just an ekg and chest xray. My surgeon said the gummy Vitamins are fine to start a week post op as I didn't like the chalky ones either. I bought chewable Calcium to replace the horse pills I take now. Big day on Monday.

Maintenance/Stop Losing
catwoman7 replied to HealthyLifeStyle's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I wouldn't try too hard. The vast majority of us regain 10-20 lbs without trying in year 2 or 3, before our weight settles and stabilizes (unfortunately, some gain way more than that if they're not careful). Also, fat redistributes a bit and you start looking better, even if you don't gain or lose anything. My "ancient", drawn face gradually looked a bit fuller and healthier. I swore I wouldn't be one of "those" people who experienced a rebound, yet----here I am! (I bottomed out at 138 - now I bounce around in the 150s and have been here for c. three years). -
Sleeved after having baby
Nicolanz replied to amitch17's topic in Pregnancy with Weight Loss Surgery
None. My husband works nights so I was on my own. It was hard but doable. Just find ways to limit lifting your kids for a couple of weeks. I would feed my little one while he was laying in his boppy pillow. Or I'd put pillows under my arms when I held him. -
Welcome and congrats on your band.:thumbup: I have two weeks left and I can't wait to start my new journey. How are you doing so far? Anything that you didn't expect? Well I hope you find your way around the sight, it's full of info and great people who have been there and done that( if you know what I mean).:drool: So if you have questions...ask away, someone on here will know the answer, or where to get it. Good luck.

Shocked at Weight
Pamalamadingdong replied to mattie7632's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I weight myself every Monday, I battle getting on the scale every day but everyone says once a week. I was in bandster hell for about 2 weeks didn't lose a pound a 1/2 pound a 1/4 pound nothing. I still haven't had a fill and can and occasionally do eat what ever I want. I get my 1st fill on the 24th, but i the last 2 weeks I've lost 4 lbs so I'm happy with that, and don't expect it to go up much more than that I'm just looking forward to not being hungry every 2 hours. -
Bruising arond incisions???
momcof3 replied to JULIEM81's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had the same thing. The yellow bruising is a bruise that is healing. My bruises weren't all gone until about 2 1/2 weeks post op. -

Hey guys, today is my first day on this app. My surgery is Wednesday the 24th. I am so nervous about feeling pain, also this 14 day diet is such a busttt, i don’t try hard enough, i am so weak to food it’s really sad. I was going so well, but i cooked for my family and i had to taste the food and have the texture of the food in my mouth. I feel so disgusted with myself. So i have to start all over again.... any suggestions for this 2 week(well 7 days left now) to go smooth?

Dr. Rincon in San Antonio, Texas vs. Monterrey, MX
K in SA replied to JRPTX's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
Have you had yours surgery yet? How is it going? I have gone through all the doctors that Dr Rincon has suggested. I am seriously considering havng this done next month. There seems to be some restrictions that I'm a little weary off (like having to exercise 5 times week). Having to take the supplements every day, etc. Can you and others share w/me your experiences? I really like Dr. Rincon and have the upmost confidence in him. thanks! -

Pistol replied to JRPTX's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
Wife (Pistol) and FIL went to Dr. Rumbaut the first week of October. We chose him because of experience and track record. He may be the best in the Western Hemisphere. Pistol said that he has a wonderful bedside manner. Though we are self pay, we'd have paid the extra $7,500 to have it done closer to home if we could have found a surgeon with Rumbaut's reputation. Unfortunately, Rumbaut would have to give up his practice entirely for several years before surgeon's in the U.S. can match his experience. Land of the free my a**! Pistol and her dad have both traveled extensively and are used to being crammed into tiny seats. The flight from Denver to Monterrey had them packed in for five hours. They both spoke of discomfort due to the influence of pressure changes on the gas in their abdomen's during the flight back. The advantages to finding a local Dr. are obvious; and if you can find one with an excellent track record and lots of experience, go for it! Otherwise, go for the best. take care, Pistol's husband. -
I hit numerous stalls! Surgery was June 2015 so I don't remember all the details but I was 20lbs down at one month, 50lbs down at 6 months, and I stayed there for a while, give or take five pounds, then was down 65 pounds at my one year. I gained 15ish back after putting my dog to sleep (I would have put on 40 pre surgery) and now I'm working on taking it off before my two year appointment. After that I'd like to lose another ten but will be ok if I don't. I try to focus on how far I've come, live with the plateaus, stay positive and not beat myself up. I feel better physically and emotionally when I'm doing the right things, and lousy when I don't. The subsequent weight loss or gain is secondary. I hope this helps!

Many bandsters don't lose weight the first month or three. Two weeks of not losing weight isn't really considered a plateau. Maybe 6 weeks or more would qualify but two weeks is nothing. If you're only eating 600 calories a day your body is most likely in a starvation mode and will hold onto weight till you ramp up your intake. We all have to find our green zone of calories in and calories burned. Some people lose more if they eat 1200 calories and there are others who lose on 800-1000. 600/day can make your body's metabolism slow down to nada. But, again, two weeks means nothing in the grand scheme. And, you really shouldn't be worrying about losing weight just yet? Once you start getting fills and find some restriction you can work on the fat loss. But right now is a time to heal. Don't worry about it. I didn't start losing weight till my 3rd fill and that was 3.5 months out from surgery. tmf

I'm 4 1/2 months post op. You are eating way less food now, so you are not pooping so much. The first week post-op I did not poop then it was back to regular poop schedule i would talk to your doctor about this or eat some prunes or drink prune juice -

Hey! My doctor told me that I can't have soda or those drinks again. The reason he gave me is because the bubbles in it have air and when they pop the air can expand the pouch. I was a Pepsi addict. However, I am three weeks banded and haven't had one. I am in love with Crystal light! lol. I don't really miss it. However, if I were you I wouldnt let the fact that I couldn't have diet Coke be the determing factor for WLS... Much love! -
Citrical makes a calcium citrate and offers it in new petite sizes (read the packaging as they also offer regular sizes/got it at Wal-mart.) It is about half of a regular calium and I have been taking that since banding one week ago and things are fine.

First week I could not choke down pills. After that I forced them down because I didn't want another surgery. Have you used a pill cutter? Crushed pills into applesauce? Over 33% of VSG patients eventually need gallbladder out. Happy I took them. Two years out and still have my gallbladder. Best wishes & congrats on being sleeved!

I'm only 3 weeks post op so I'm not allowed to have fruit yet -
Ugh...I was told yesterday, absolutely, positively the nurse would be calling me back to give me a date on my surgery. By 4 pm I was nervous, so I called them. The nurse for the 3rd day in a row "forgot" to put my file in front of the dr. to get final ok. Now I have to wait for her to remember to do it tommorw and get a call next week. I know good things come to those who wait, but I do not do well with incompetence. She giggled and didn't even apologize, like it is funny.....grrrrrr..... :eek: :help:

So I'm curious after you get sick, how long before you feel ok again? I'm 1 week out - last night I had pudding for the 1st time, I'm thinking I ate too much because the nausea and diarrhea was horrible. It was sugarfree, and I ate it with a baby spoon, over about 30 minutes. I still feel sick, 18 hours later. Is there a typical reset time? I need to eat and have a shake, but feel so sick I don't want to. I have taken zofran for nausea last night and this morning.
