    Am i sliming/stuck?

    Second fill about a week ago. Just took bedtime meds.
  2. It depends on your band and your metabolism! I lost 15 pounds on the presurgery diet, but I also put it all back on, and a bit more, post surgery. After my third fill I started feeling satiated after eating the recommended amount of Protein at each meal. What really started losing the pounds was seriously watching protein and portion intake, and doing daily exercise. Don't be discouraged if things don't happen fast. For some folks the pounds fall off with no fills. Others, like me, can take three or four visits to start experiencing getting near the green zone. Just don't lose faith and keep to the plan your doctor advises you to follow and you will do fine!

    Excited but sore

    First, congratulations! You should start feeling better by the week-end. Try to go for little walks, I know it helped for me. I was re-banded on May 15 and it takes a while until you really feel normal. Hope this helps, good luck.
  4. I am about 5 weeks post op and have been following all my Dr's guidelines. Then I realized that I was eating a piece of hot pepper cheese as a snack which may contain some hot pepper seeds. I know we are not supposed to eat seeds. Wondering if anybody knows anything about this. I plan on calling my NUT just want to know what everybody else has heard.

    Pre-Op Day 3

    Congratulations on your progress to date. What is your date? I'm assuming your on day 3 of the pre-op diet, if so I can confirm that today will be the worst. I did 2 weeks of pre-op liquids and day 3 was the worst, day 4 was the turning point for me. You'll do great, keep up a positive attitude and always look forward. Life is soooo awesome for me at a year out. It's truly amazing.
  7. I workout 5-6 days a week. Alternating between 45 mins on the treadmill at the gym and a 30 min. step aerobic routine I do at home. I also do weights 3 times a week with a trainer. That's great you are joining the gym! Start out slow so you don't make yourself miserable (then you might not go back lol). Slowly increase time and intensity. Getting started is the hardest part. You can do it!

    2 weeks post op HELP

    Hi Christina! 19 lbs is great! I'm 3 weeks post op and have to say that i was very similar last week losing 20 lbs and then nothing. Of course we eat almost nothing for those 2 weeks after surgery so weight is bound to come off. After a lot of reading here, i'm probably not getting enough calories in during the course of the day. I know i wasn't getting enough Protein, but the calories were 700 - 750 or day and that maybe my body was going into store mode instead of shed mode. OOPS. So i kicked up some calories 2 days ago to about 900-1000 (Still on mushies so i'm experimenting with meals to increase a bit yet til i'm on soft food by end of the week) and i've noticed a difference just in my energy level right there. The biggest change to my diet was adding in canned chicken & tuna, BLENDED to mush with light mayo. Gives me about 140 calories plus 15 grams of protein in 2 ozs or so. I also found that after adding some food the BM's improved greatly between these two weeks & the gas is all gone now. Hang in there, you'll be moving on to the next food group soon! It did get better for me & i'm only a week ahead!!!
  9. I am 2 weeks post op. Down 19 pounds. I am not eating enough and I am exercising everyday. I feel tired and sluggish. Also lately, I was having trouble with BM so I took mucilax. Now I feel a slight burning sensation in my chest. Like heartburn but not as bad. I am getting frustrated. The scale has not moved in over a week, I am sluggish AND now my stomach feels irritated. Help
  10. I went in on 8/4 released 8/7 and my doctor told me I could eat pureed foods not just liquids, told me I would get tired of that quick. Suggested buying real Soups and puree in blender. I have had pureed soups and meats (underwood devil ham and chicken, soft scrambled egg, poached egg, cream of wheat, plain greek yogurt (with juice added for taste), cottage cheese in my first two weeks post op. Check with your doctor, everyone is a little different. Except for occasional overeating I have put down a cup of food at at time for meals and rather large gulps for liquids. I often wonder how much stomach he left in, I seem to take in more than most people.

    ready for my first fill

    I wouldn't think so but every surgeon is different. Mine waits six weeks.

    Cant keep meds down

    Some people experience strictures and this can make it difficult. At 4 weeks post-op, you might be experiencing one of these. Since you can't even keep Vitamins down, this might be a cause. Your taste buds generally change after surgery. This can make Protein shakes difficult to drink. But experimentation is the key. Just keep trying all the different options available until you can find one you can tolerate. You don't have to like it, just tolerate it.

    Just Starting Out!

    my requirements and timeline are in my sig. I could have scheduled the surgery for sept 30, but had to wait til november bc of work. otherwise I would have been in and out in about 6 weeks total.
  14. I gained 5 lbs during the two weeks that I was on solids before my first fill.

    First Fill No Go

    Thank you, Paula. Yes, my weight loss continues. I have another appointment with the doctor in a couple of weeks. Tammygirl
  16. No I am definitely not miscalculating calories. I am as strict as they come with not only my portion sizes but my calories and Protein intake as well. I was banded 9 weeks ago and have lost 21lbs to date. I called my doctor's office yesterday and she told me that I am right on track with my weight loss. She said that the average weight loss is 1 - 2 lbs per week and right now I am above that. I guess I just get anxious and want it all off immediately and I have to realize it is going to take time, just as it did for me to put the weight on. I just didn't know if there was a correlation between fills and weight loss because so many people on here say they didn't "really start seeing the weight fall off" until after 3 or 4 fills. Thank you all for your comments and posts.

    POLL: When could you wear a bra post-op?

    I never had that trouble. I wore a bra home from the hospital. Maybe you should try a sports bra for comfort over the next few weeks.....
  18. That is very encouraging. I am goning to be banded on 7/15. I am also going back to work after one week.
  19. Hey guys! Just to update you. I got an appointment with the doctor next monday to get another fill!! THANK GOD! I also decided to be a bit more organized and I'm planning out my food for the week each sunday. That way I know what I'm eating and how much. I've also commited to working out 6 days a week! If it's not at the gym it's on the wii-fit.

    were you nervous to eat

    Hi there and thanks for your quick responses. I know I need to settle down. The first thing I am thinking is oh my god, is this going to be the way it is.... freaks me out a little. I was allowed cream of wheat and yogurt last week and had no problem with that. Maybe I need to try something else besides cottage cheese. The things recommended by the surgeon for this week were cottage cheese, tuna or salmon smashed with a fork, refried beans.... I can't imagine the tuna going down if the cottage cheese wouldn't. I will just have to keep working at it. Thank you
  21. I've been having a soury taste in my mouth, I guess it's acid, I dont take PPI's any more, 7 weeks out, but it doesn't really bother me (the starnge taste) and since I stopped taking them I'm hardly hungry anymore! Will ask my surgeon on thursday if i still need tto take them cause i ran out
  22. I had my first fill a week ago and I'm still hungry and feel like I haven't got much of a restriction if any at all. I'm not sure how much they put it, but has anyone ever had to go back in for more before their next appointment? Any suggestions?

    weight loss normal?

    My dietitian said that a great result is to lose around 30% of your excess body weight in the first three months. So subtract your goal weight from your highest weight and work out 30% of that figure. However that's the bench mark for a fantastic result there will be a lot of variations of that some higher some lower and as long as you are losing its a good thing [emoji3] Sent from my CPH1607 using BariatricPal mobile app

    Surgery was last night

    I can't believe how lucky I was. I see all these posts about extreme pain. I was hitting the morphine button pretty much every time I remembered it was there the day of surgery but I really don't remember any pain. Never had any of the gas issues. The worst part was no liquids. Surgeon said no liquids for 24 hours after surgery and I already been with no liquids for 12 hours prior. Day 2 I was taking liquid Vicodin but only had two doses. I was only able to get a few steps at a time but food was going down okay. Day three, there was that was really bad nausea and I had to take three different types of anti nausea medicine to get under control but that was it. I had one dose of liquid Vicodin in anticipation of a long car ride and a half a Vicodin when I got home but nothing since.One of the posters who was sleeve that pretty much the exact same time I was still needs Tramadol and Oxycodone to sleep. I do have problems with pressure in my chest when eating and often all day but nothing to the level of true pain. I've got to pray to the gods of weight loss surgery for sparing me some of the stuff that you guys are going through. You have my sympathies. HW 385 SW 359 Sleeved 10/5/16

    weight loss normal?

    Sounds better than me. 310 at start on Sept 13, now im 287. 23lbs in 8 weeks (2 months!). What a crock of **** this procedure is, for me at least! Ive been the same damn weight for the last 3 weeks, then 2 weeks prior, i was the same damn weight for 3 weeks. Only reason i lost weight was because straight outta surg (iv probably) and i got sick and couldnt eat another week. But being not sick, eating right, exercise ever single day...nothing. You have no idea how disappointed i am at this procedure in me. Its not like its been 10lbs a month either. Like i said, it was 10lbs loss in 1 week from sickness, 9lbs first week out...and thats it. Im so disgusted.
