Lap band surgery since November 23,2016 and not losing enough weight



Recommended Posts

Hello,

I need help please. I had my lap band surgery in 23 November 2016. My band is 9 CC filled so far. Before I did the surgery my weight was 82 kg (180.77 pounds) and my height is 174 cm (5.7). We are now in Mid February and my weight is only 78 kg (171 pounds). I am feeling like I am not loosing weight. Is there any problem? I am starting to regret that I did the operation from the first place. I am so frustrated and sad. Can someone please help me. Thanks!

I work from 9AM to 4 PM. I am a translator so most of my work is done while sitting on my desk. I try to walk at least two hours per week. I have 2 kids so it's kind of difficult to exercise more. With the band restrictions I am eating less than I used to do before. I am not on a specific diet. I eat whatever I make or see in front of me :P! I asked my doctor if I should be on a specific diet, he said not now!

wow 4 months in and they have you that filled. keep a food journal that really helps track when you get hungry and what your consuming. are you getting enough Protein are you able to eat too much at one time . do you snack at your desk. I have the hardest time with that . my job is typically behind a desk and i want to always chew on something lol its a really hard habit to break

      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!
