Just having a day. I think it's because I am exhausted!! I am on 1000 calories a day and went over by close to 200 calories. I have gone a tad over before but today it's urking me. I am 42 days post op and am down 23 pounds. Not too bad but today I just feel like it should be more. It's like my mind knows I'm fine but my body doesn't. I have had one fill for a total of 1.4cc I believe and go for my next fill August 7th. I have noticed that I become nauseated an hour or so after eating. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced it or might have any suggestions? Just needed to vent a little.

Can't help you with the nausea but your comment about feeling like you should have lost more weight is ridiculous. You are 42 days postop and down 23 lbs. Do you not realize that is a great weight loss? that averages to a half pound a day more or less. The experts say if you lose between 1-2 lbs. a week, you are doing well. For gosh sakes, stop putting so much pressure on yourself. Your weight loss is going gangbusters so feel good about it, don't feel down.

Most days I'm fine with it I really am!! Just feeling a bit ugh today. Thanks for the pep talk:) I never could have lost this without the band so I am thankful for that!

Utk......how much did you lose preop?

You doing great!

I've heard some people feel nauseated after they eat.. it's usually because they eat too fast. Try and take tiny bites.

It's sound like your on the right track. Do you have access to a support group? I still go to a monthly support group... I host 3 coffee groups a month.. find them very helpful.

It's been 23 pounds total. I don't remember the preop total.

I do have access to one. However it's 40 minutes away and not at a time I can get there:(

Keep doing what you've been doing so far.... It's working! Try to just focus on living your new life and don't think of the band and losing as your primary goal... Focus on living a BETTER life, and losing as an ADDED bonus! In other words, don't think so much about it (you're doing great) and one day you'll wake up and say: WHAT THE HECK, WHEN DID I LOSE ALL THAT WEIGHT!

XOXOXOXO

You are doing great! My PA says that they usually see around a 12 lb loss at the 6 week mark! Some days are definitely harder than others for sure! Keep your head up- and post here when you need a boost!
