Just Got My Lapband



Recommended Posts

Hi my name is Rachelle, and I just had my surgery last Tuesday. Im still alittle sore, and the gas pains are not going away fast enough. I sometimes wonder..Why did I do this? But then I remind myself that the pain will go away soon, and I start my new life.

Congrats on the surgery. I didn't suffer from gas pains so I guess I am one of the lucky ones. It is worth every bit of the pain trust me. I just had my 3rd fill and am now finally in my green zone. Be patient because it takes some time for some us to get there. Even though I just hit my green zone I have still lost 38 lbs since my surg. on 9-1-11. Good luck.

Thank you for your words, they help. Im just got on here because Im affraid I may still be eating to much. Like I will get a little something, or drink, and then have hunger pains about any hour later. Is this normal?

For gas take chew able gas X - Congratulation and good luck to you all, make sure you are drinking a lot, I ate a lot of Egg Drop Soup that second week was warm and filling with lots of Protein. Remember don't rush these first few weeks they are prime time for weight loss and you will eat REAL food AGAIN! just give yourself some time.

Take Care

      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! 😞
