How often do you get fills?
dhawkins replied to zeniada's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Well I was banded on oct 19th. I have not gotten my first fill yet. But I know my Dr. told me that whenever I get hungry and stop loosing weight to come in right away. As far as your menu I think you should cut down on your carbs and add more protein. Especially in the morning. Try a boiled egg and fat free yogurt to start you off. For the next week just try no carbs and that should jump start your loss again. I have stuck to this as well as excercise and have lost almost 30pounds in 4 weeks. Try also keeping a food journal. That really helps me stay on track. I am consious of everything that goes in my mouth. If it has no nutrional value I dont eat it. oh yeah wendys chili has lots of protein so try that for lunch. I hope this helps. Good luck on your journey. -
Very Low Energy & Weak
trojanchick replied to trojanchick's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Shortypants--hoping that you (we) find a solution before you drop someone! I scheduled an appointment with my doctor and NUT to see them 2 weeks from now. If I find a solution or come up with interesting info, I will share! Good luck. -
Almost everyone goes through a period of "buyers remorse". Believe me, this will pass! A week out is rough, but you will feel a little better every day. I promise.

I am now three months out and starting to have cravings again. Just wondering has anyone else had a crazy craving for salad
-
Just remember every doctor and NUT has their own recommendations. I love my salads and they digest perfectly for me. I add my protein to it. I'm 10 weeks out. My guy is perfectly happy with my balance. No one thing seems the same for everyone - talk to your medical team ❤️

2 months out and doing OK
LilMissDiva Irene replied to Lose140's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi Lose! I still fee that way from time to time. I am only 2 weeks ahead of you, so it is still pretty normal to get that from time to time. I'm actually feeling a bit tired as we speak! Hang in there... the further along we get, the better things seem. :-) -
5 weeks out and can't get much down...
faithstar posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm a little concerned as I seem to only be able to eat very small amounts and I'm having around 350 calories on week 5. My NUT gave me a general sheet of guidelines to follow with no mention of weighing anything or counting calories. She just mentions 3 small meals and what I can eat and a couple of snacks in between IF i want. She has written for me to have an omelette with 2 eggs and low fat cheese and I made an omelette with one egg and cheese and had a quarter. For dinner I have a couple of spoons, if that and I'm done. I wouldn't say I'm STUFFED but I'm full and can feel the food sitting in my throat and I don't want to push it. I'm worried my weight loss will slow down if I don't eat enough and on top of that I feel a bit depressed. How much should I be eating at this stage? -
How Soon Do We Get 1St Fill?
DELETE THIS ACCOUNT! replied to lupediva's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Most surgeons require you to wait 4-6 weeks after surgery so you're fully healed first. But like most things, all surgeons are different, so you'll have to ask yours to be sure. -
Dear 3 Week Stall.... I am not amused!
Lookinupin2010 replied to a.walker's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Put the scale away. Try on some clothes that you haven't worn in awhile, or better yet...try on some of those 'new' clothes that still have the tags on that you were going to lose weight and fit into (pre-surgery days). This 3-week thing is only the beginning of more stalls. You KNOW the weight will come off....how can it not !! But you stressing with that scale will just add stress, and we all know what stress hormones can do to any weight loss effort. Just focus on learning how to deal with food issues, chewing slowly, getting in enough Protein, taking Biotin for the future hair loss. It gets better....and MOST IMPORTANTLY..don't compare yourself with your husbands weight loss...or anyone else's for that matter. God made you unique...and embrace that uniqueness. -
Dear 3 Week Stall.... I am not amused!
a.walker posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Ok, so I have weighed the same for 10 days. I'm 4 weeks out, and of course I'm starting to worry. I log my food, I get my Protein, I am getting 500-700 calories a day, and I'm just frustrated. Tomorrow is my one month surgiversary, so I'll do measurements and maybe that will make me feel better, but right now I'm seriously down about this. I tried putting away the scale, but that gave me anxiety, so now I'm back to weighing once a day in the morning, and the same number just keeps showing up. I HATE 289!:cursing: And of course it's hard not to compare myself to my husband (who got sleeved the same day as me). He had a small stall as well, but now is back to losing 2 lbs./day the past few days. He'll soon weigh less than me at this rate! Do I just keep doing what I'm doing, or is there something I should try to break this? I'm willing to try something new, but I'm not sure what:confused: -
Dear 3 Week Stall.... I am not amused!
Lee replied to a.walker's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
We're all so different and we all have stalls. I did well the first month, then only 3 pounds the second month. I think I've had three of my first six months that were only 3 pounds each, but the others were ok. The reality is that your Sleeve is going to keep you from overeating, unless you turn to slider foods (white flour, sugar etc) which go down incredibly easy. Follow your doctors plan about food, Water, exercise and Vitamins and you're sure to get to your goal weight. I think the kindest thing you can do for yourself is to not compare yourself to anyone else, particularly your husband because men just drop the weight like a hot potato. Take monthly pictures, measure yourself and find gratitude in every pound that you are no longer carrying on your knees and ankles. You are going to be just fine and in six months you'll be looking back and laughing at all the concern you had now. Good luck! :cursing: -
2 months out and doing OK
mp8btpc replied to Lose140's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I too had some major post surgical blues, mood swings, fits of psychosis whatever you want to call them lol. I was tired and up in down in my moods for about the first 12 weeks. I have noticed the last week has been the best one as far as my mental stability is concerned. -
My 1St Dinner Party And I Am Nervous.
Itsanewdaycassandra replied to Itsanewdaycassandra's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I was sleeved 12/1/11 so I am 8 weeks out and I’m on regular foods. I haven’t done well with most refine cabs like rice and bread (I haven’t tried pasta but I want to hold off). I’m really concerned with drinking, I had a few sip of champagne for New years but outside of that no alcohol and I know that there will be drinking which isn’t usually a problem for me. I would like one drink, not to make it a habit but what if any should I consider. -

Dont want to be disappointed...advice?
theoldmusicbox replied to want2live's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yep. You are comparing yourself to others. While we all have similar experience, we all experience it differently. Keep your head up. I only lost 10 my first week, but I've lost almost 160 since April this year. We're all different, comparing is not fair to yourself. Enjoy your own journey. -

ccweeks posted a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Hi everyone! I'm going to be banded by Dr. Hart at True Results in Atlanta. I will be self pay (part financed / part cash) so I have less hoops to jump through. Last week I did my blood work, ekg, and chest x-ray / upper gi. Next week I will be meeting with the nutritionist and I will be ready to go! However, I do not intend to have the surgery until late October / early November. I'm trying to save up cash right until the last minute and I also have a packed schedule where I can't take any time off from work just yet. I look forward to reading everyone's posts! -
How Many Calories At 7 Weeks?
Slenderella replied to susanfaye's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have the same question. I am 8 weeks out and I'm around 500-600 calories per day. My NUT said he didn't want me counting calories, fat or carbs, only protein and water. I'm down 37 lbs, and I'm pleased with that, but I still wonder if I should be monitoring anything else. -
Its about time I start taking better care of myself. I want to feel good. I want to feel healthy. I want to feel happy...And I want to start loving myself more. I'm a wife and a mother of three great kids. My family is my life. I want to be around to celebrate it with them. I want to Finlay breath and know that I am a great mother who has energy for her family. But I have to start with getting me healthy. Its been a two year decision to get to the point where I called the Dr. Now I am scheduled for Nov 17....My insurance covers it, but my Dr still has to submit the final documents for it to be 100% Nov 17.... :thumbup:

congratulations to you both. i guess i better go get my toes done too! did the hair last week. surgery in 7 days.

I want to look fabulous when I hit the operating table in 4 days. It's a little vain, but is so rare that I am. I figured I would get a hair cut tomorrow, then once home dye my hair. I want to shave the legs and pits (doc said no shave two days before surgery), and have my feets loved on some. Mind you, I will look like a freight train hit me or at least may feel like it once out of recovery, but when I do feel better these will be things done to the 3 weeks I am off I will be ok. The blood thinners should be finished by then as well and on my last day of recovery do it all again in order to return to work . I want to find a nice dress my new body show-off. LOL My excitement is just starting to build. My niece surprised me and is doing better and has opted to take a week off of work to stay with me. I could just cry I am so happy. I plan to do something really nice for her. Well I'm off to a SF drink. This hot weather has me sucking up fluids.

Hey NOV Bandsters. It's been a while, how r u?
Victoriana replied to rpaniagua77's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hi, I'm wondering where everyone went! I was banded Nov 28, and so far I'm down 23 lbs, pre and post op. I usually gain weight over the holidays so I am pretty happy. I get my first fill in 2 weeks. This sight helps me remain focused on what I am eating and doing since I'm banded and I really appreciate it. -
3 Weeks Later.. My Thoughts
fell4falls replied to mouse trap's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I, too, am at my third week, and your experience sounds a lot like mine. I had no problems after surgery, or any since. I have no problems with liquids or proteins, either. I am a little discouraged today, because this morning the scale was up 2 lbs from my last weigh in. However, I know that I am dangerously close to that time of the month, so I am hoping that the 2 lbs is simply water retention. -
3 Weeks Later.. My Thoughts
hadouni replied to mouse trap's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yay!!! It is so nice to hear happy stories! I too feel like I've had a charmed sleeve experience. Monday will be three weeks for me and I haven't a complaint (other than the cost of calcium citrate!). I haven't thrown up, had any bathroom troubles and haven't had any bad reactions to anything I've tried to eat (since the yucky sugarfree hospital jello). It is scary to hear about things going wrong. It's like my son- I feel like I hit the lottery twice with a healty kid AND excellent sleeve experience. -
3 Weeks Later.. My Thoughts
Dooter replied to mouse trap's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It's good to hear some positive feedback on the whole thing. I was reading last night about jasleeve going through a leak and might spend 8 weeks in the hospital! I was sorta freaking out a little, because my surgery is February 13th, and I keep thinking I'm going to be the .01% that has problems. I'm just psyching myself out I think. I was on the ledge... I think I read WAY too much on here. I'm glad it's going so well for you!!
