1 month out and introduction!!



Recommended Posts

So I've been lurking here for a month, taking in lots of info and tips. Thought it's about time I start talking lol! I'm Megan, from jersey, married with two little girls, 5 and 1 1/2 years old. I was banded on June 1st, and i've lost 24 lbs so far. Had my first fill on Thursday, 3 cc's...just starting to take on more solid things today. I'd say it's working! Had two eggs at 9:30, didn't get hungry for lunch until 2:30! Having some chicken salad now, hopefully that'll hold me until 7. That's all for now! Have a great holiday everyone!!

Hey, congrats on the 24 lbs!!! I was at 23 and gained 2 back. I was banded on the 9th of June and they won't up my first fill in until Aug. 1st because I am traveling and they don't want me to have any trouble when I am away. Has anyone else gained a little weight back before their first fill? I still feel a bit restricted but, not a ton. I can tell you that I tried a pretzel (stick) and scrambled eggs and I will NEVER eat those two things EVER again! I still haven't thrown up since the surgery and I that was the closest I have come yet.

Thanks guys!!

ididit - I gained back 3 lbs before my fill, but it was that TOM and I lost it right after it finished. I haven't had any issues with eggs. They're actually become my go to food.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
