I also had a hernia repaired and you sound just like I did 4 weeks ago! My bloated feeling went away around day 5 and my hunger slowly returned then. My doc okayed a stool softner daily and Miralax if needed, but I would get the go ahead from your doc or nutritionist to be on the safe side...like catfish said you do not want to be backed up! Congratulations on your surgery and every day you will feel more and more normal I promise!

I didn't have the hernia, but I dont think abnormal to have a dry/scratchy throat. You may still have some bloating from the gas they used in your surgery. Most folks would suggest to take gas x type aids. Try and walk as much as you can tolerate. My dr had me on Clear liquids for a week after surgery so not eating was fine, per my instructions. Finally, I'd suggest to confirm with your Dr and take a stool softner every day or as recommended by your medical professional. You do NOT want to be backed up.

Wahoo! That's a good one. I've already noticed, just a week and a half out of surgery, that I am way less sensitive to heat than I was before. It was in the 90s today and I went out and sat on the deck to watch the dogs play and I don't even think I got sticky. Amazing!

First Fill Today -- Positively PAINLESS!!!
medge1113 replied to Cheryl Ann's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I got my band 3/11/08 from Dr. Michael Wood From ABMI at detroit medical center. I was going to get my first fill today 6 weeks post op and my Dr called and told me he has a new policy and will only be doing fills once a month and so don't come in till may 31. I will be 10 weeks post op this dosn't sound right. I've lost 38 pounds since I was banded but I'm getting hungry and eating more. I called my Dr. and he told me to have will power:cursing::party::cursing:. My surgury was $27000.00 since he got paid I feel he is blowing me off what should I do. I don't want to take a step backward -
First Fill Today -- Positively PAINLESS!!!
jegtlf replied to Cheryl Ann's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I had my first fill last week and after I got over the anxiety I did good. I had one heck of a bruise afterwords. Does your body get used to it or do you always bruise like heck? It was black it was so bruised! Tracy -
My doctor schedules me every 6 weeks. So far I have needed to use them for fills every time. Your doctor will decide when you see him if a fill is need or not. Usually if you aren't losing 1-2 pounds a week, you are ready for a fill.

Pain in left chest area - just left of center
DrFesterpus replied to RNmomtothree's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
The gas can be surpisingly painful . If I didn't know better I would have sworn I was having a heart attack. I was banded May 18 th and got my first fill June 16th . It feels too tight to me. I have had some pretty tuff gas pains the past week. I am almost scared to eat . I have lost 32 lbs. (counting the pre-band diet). I haven't eat any bread or other problem foods I was warned about . I am keeping Gas-X in business too ! lol. I am happy with the weight loss and very concerned about the gas pains. I have done a few searches and we are not alone with the weird gas pains. However, that doesn't make me feel any better . This is band is controlling me for sure. I tolf my doc....." This thing will talk back to you and LOUDLY ! :blushing: if abused. I hope we toughen up and learn to live with it . Right now .......I am not too happy . Reading everyones advice has been very hepful too. I am not much on posting messages but I check here everyday. I am hurting now with gas pains and ........Well , Like Bill Clinton said: " I feel your pain !":eek: I have not had any acid reflux or even came close to throwing up either. I have been on a very bland diet too. I will experiment with what I can and can't eat and just see how it goes. Good luck and keep the Gas-X handy. -
I could have sworn Dr. Aceves told me I could begin lightly working out when I got back home. So, yesterday morning, I went to the gym and did the elliptical trainer for 20 minutes on the lowest level (I am 7 days post op). Today, I feel like crap - super tired, no energy, etc. I happen to peruse the post op info I was given, and it says to wait until at least 4 weeks post op before exercising!!! I know I was a bit loopy down in Mexico when I spoke with Dr. Aceves about this, so I must have heard him wrong - have I totally screwed myself up? I'm worried that I've put myself at high risk for a leak. Any help appreciated.

I am almost three years out from being sleeved in June 2013. My highest weight was 302 lbs. my current weight is 173 lbs. I have gained about 15 pounds from my lowest weight since surgery. 10 of those pounds came within the last year. I am ready to jumpstart the weight-loss again and would like to hear from others who've had my same situation. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was looking for a post like this. My period is a week late as well. I know that weight-loss can effect your cycle and while I know I am not pregnant...I was starting to get concerned. Look forward to hearing the experience of others....

I was able to take in all my fluids without problem within four days and take gulps of fluids within three weeks. I was on clear fluids for my two days in the hospital, full liquids for the next five days and, by the one week point, I was cleared for soft foods. There's a huge range of recovery times and experiences and it is impossible to know what yours will be.

Lanakila replied to jeremiahsmommy's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
My dietician told me that I will have to do a week of liquids and then a week of mushies again after each fill. Maybe your stomach is still adjusting to the new restriction? -
1 year post op. How much have you lost in 1 year including preop weight loss
TheWigster posted a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I was sleeved March 17, 2014. I have lost 100 pounds since my journey started in November 2013. That's 45 pounds pre op and 55 pounds since surgery. I am at a stall. How much have you lost in all? Please share. Am I behind????? I feel like I should have lost more. I still need to lose 55 more pounds. Should I be worried that I haven't met my goal in one year? -
Just fascinated if anyone has bought anything, Usually, it's meals and supplement website devoted to low carbs, huge quantity provides, and other protein/weight decrease products. I've been placing buys for the last 2 a few several weeks and could not be more satisfied. The have an awesome option of low carbs meals. Definitely analyze it out if you are looking for low carbs options.

Discouraged - NEED ADVICE - 23 days out
melissa130 replied to Jhconnection's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The weight will come off. Any pound you lose in a month should be celebrated. You didn't gain and you are on the right path. I really stuck to drinking a lot of water and my protein shakes the first several weeks and the scale seemed to speed downward. As soon as I added more food to my diet the weight loss really slowed. Which is ok. As long as I don't gain -I am happy. Hang in there. And please find somebody in your area that you can talk to. Don't underestimate the power of a good psychologist, behavior specialist, life coach, or support group to help you get through these times when you get upset about the process.You are ok and you will be thin and healthy very soon. -
Hello , my heaviest weight was On March 2017 of last year and was 280lbs. I was 255lbs on my surgery date which was Oct 5, 2017. I'm a gym maniac I work out 5 days a week for at least a hour mostly 90 mins... Today I'm at 220lbs. I feel like I haven't lost anything between months 3 and 4... I'm afraid to check the scale cause I don't wanna depress myself when I see I haven't lost much and worked so hard. I didn't eat as healthy as I should of during the 3rd month because I was traveling alot. I've been pretty disciplined the past 2 weeks. When was everybody's greatest weightloss ? My goal weight is 180/170 so I'm 40/50lbs from where I wanna be. I'm open too all suggestions. Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

For those of you addicted to exercise or who now love it
Oregondaisy replied to wendy645's topic in Fitness & Exercise
I went on vacation and didn't exercise for a week. It's hard to say whether I missed it or not. It was around 112 every day, so I couldn't even go for a walk. When I am home, and something conflicts with my exercise routine, I get quite miffed. Now that I am back, I am excited to be able to go back to the gym. I never thought I would be saying that! Terri, I can see why you would be upset that your trainer is moving. I was so excited when the gym here finally got a trainer. I think that once you acquire the exercise habit, it's hard to give it up. Even if it's not for weight loss, the difference in my moods is quite remarkable! -
Just really relax and if he isn't for some reason using fluro raise both of your legs up and hold them and make sure your arms are stretched out behind your head and that will help a bunch. Mine sprays a numbing spray and keeps spraying until it's in. The only thing I usually fill is a small pop when he pulls it out. No worse than a bee sting, probably not as bad even. You'll do great. Now don't be upset if you can't tell it right off. I've got a 4cc's band and I got 1.25 for the first fill and couldn't tell it until about one week later but the second helped even more and now since I got my 3rd one this week I'm very tight. Good luck, I'll be thinking about you. I've got pics of me getting my fill posted on here. I'll try to find them for you. http://www.lapbandtalk.com/showthread.php?t=22033&highlight=Pics+of+me+getting+fill

Most people take a week off after surgery. I went back to work Thursday afternoon (2 days after surgery.) I work with teens and I really needed to be at the meeting that night. I worked about 5 hours that day, and a few hours on Friday, and another 2 hours on Saturday. I think it was a bit much, and I probably wouldn't recommend it, but it also wasn't awful. I started a new job yesterday, and I felt fine... it's been hard explaining my strange eating habits though! It's now 1 week post-banding. I'm down 10.5 pounds (and totally on my period, ugh.) I'm not hungry, but I'm wanting to eat, it's not worth destroying my investment though, so I wait. A few of my tapes fell off, and my scabs are a lot smaller than I thought they'd be. My friends keep asking how I'm feeling and honestly? I feel great!
