11 months into lap band



Recommended Posts

I have lost quite a bit of weight in the first months after surgery getting to 205 from 287 however i injured my back was put on steroids and cant exercise now im back up to 225 and not happy. I am not able to digest much only seems like unhealthy foods stay down. Anyone else going through this frustration?

Steroids will cause weight gain. If you can only eat unhealthy foods are you too tight? Discuss it with your surgeon.

It is VERY difficult to lose weight while on steroids if not impossible. Discuss your options with your Doc and tell him what's going on.

I have been stuck at 270-280 for a few months now. Coming down from 350, still is upsetting to be stuck. I think I have not lost anymore because I have not paid attention to what I am suppose to be staying away from. A couple of months ago I was able to get down to 250 but gained 20 back and that was due to eating chips and more cruchy stuff. That hurt my band and made it impossible for me to keep anyhting down. I finally went in and had some liquid removed. I have been going back and forth. I cant stand the pressure I feel and the pain I have. Sometimes it feels like I cant even breath. Then a few days go by and I feel a little better. Does this happen to you at all?

      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! 😞
