New Here! Day 6 Post-Banding



Recommended Posts

Hely is right. I have a realize band and I was filled one month post op with 3ccs. I feel great and am rarely hungry now but I know I'm not in the green yet because I don't really feel restricted.

My friend who had lapband before me lost 40 lbs out the gate and then stalled because she kept wanting more fills and more fills until they had to unfill and wait to start over. She didn't start dropping again until almost 2 years out. She told me to be satisfied when I got to the first tight feeling and not be too in a rush.

My Dr told me that it doesn't matter the size of band or how much fill because each person is different.

Pre-op 275.9lbs -surgery 10/5 265.0lbs -11/11/12 241.8lbs

I was hungry from about day 3 post-op. I was so upset since every single post-op person in my support group said they never feel hungry! Couldn't imagine what was wrong with me!! I was on Clear Liquids and had such pain and nausea from hunger I thought I was going to go crazy. Started full liquids 2 days earlier than scheduled. Cream of chicken Soup tasted like a Thanksgiving meal!! I am almost 3 months post-op and get hungry all the time. I eat small, healthy meals/snacks throughout the day and I am down about 25 lbs. Have not gotten a fill - and don't know if I even want one yet. I am losing weight - and I literally never feel deprived - so why fix what ain't broke? All I can say is that this surgery is the BEST thing I ever did for myself! The beginning was hard - but knowing where I am now... all worth it! Hang in there... Sending hugs and prayers your way.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
