frustrated and depressed -__-



Recommended Posts

I was banded on 2/17/11. I have lost 26 lbs since my pre-op began I am VERY VERY disappointed, confused and without direction. My nutritionist has moved, and I have very little support. I am not nsure what I am supposed to be doing, and have since lost my insurance. Im extremely discouraged. most of the online information about lap-bands is for pre-surgical patients. I am desperate and need some help and guidance.

Can you post a menu of what you eat in a typical day, so we can get an idea?

Also, are you exercising? Getting enough Water and Protein? When was your last fill? (I know it's tough without insurance)

Don't be depressed that is 26 lbs hopefully you will never see again. I ordered some books from Amazon about the Lapband (they did not cost very much) There are many that start at the beginning and you do not need to know the process of the surgery but if you will research them a little there are ones about living with the band for life. You might check your library too.

But you can find out so much by researching right here. I never not once saw a nutrionist and I did lose 84 lbs. There could be reasons why you are not losing, Like the poster before me said give people some details and then they can begin to give you advice

Smile and Believe you will do this.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
