Lapband Buddy



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone! I'm 24 years old and just had my surgery on Tuesday. I have a lot of questions, but little support in my area. It would be great to have a buddy to talk to that's my age. So far things are going well. I've lost 9 lbs since Tuesday. Is that safe? I was told 3lbs a week was normal. I don't want to over do it or get sick.

Get up and walk as much as you can. That will really help move the gas out. Keep drinking, all the time!

I am 24 and was banded 9/12/12. I lost 17 pounds in the first 10ish days, so you're completely normal. Just make sure you stay hydrated and drink your Protein shakes! Following doctor's orders is key to your success!

Hey girls! I'm 23 and just got banded on 3/12/13. I'm a week in and I've lost 10-ish pounds. I think losing -/+ 3 lbs is completely normal. I don't know about you but I had 2 weeks pre-op of fluids only and 2 weeks post-op of fluids. Its totally normal that you would lose more in this period than a normal week once you're eating regularly.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
