U will see what with THIS post I did do that And Since i now talk to the OP Every day I WAS Supportive of her . In other posts when its a JOKE that they cheated and make jokes out of cheating I have no pitty . sorry that's just me.

If your not going to take things seriously why should I ?

And I wll say AGAIN Once you get PAST POST OP and you "cheat" I have no issue w/ that . MOST PEOPLE Slip up .. NOT EVERYONE DOES do i On occasion YES . I HAVE ISSUES W/ those who go against medical advice and eat BURGERS AND CRAP days , ect after having a MAJOR MEDICAL Procedure then say " BUT I CHEWED REALLY WELL !!! IF YOUR DOC SAYS TO DO IT YOUR NOT CHEATING I DONT HAVE ISSUES W/ THAT !!!! I HAVE SAID THAT OVER AND OVER . I DO NOT SUPPORT GOING AGAINST WHAT YOUR DOCTOR SAYS !!! PERIOD !! I WONT DO IT . WILL I SUPPORT YOU and tell you that YOU WILL BE OK IF I THINK YOU WILL BE OK YES . WILL I TELL YOU TO MOVE ON GO PAST THIS GO TO THE NEXT DAY YES AND I DO THAT . LOOK AT MY OTHER POSTS !!!!!

BUt im SORRY if someone is making jokes out of this and saying crap like " HA HA I cheated HA HA Im do things my own way i dont follow orders " WHY SHOULD I Feel bad for them ? SERIouSLY ? WOULD YOU ?

that's not the case in this case .

And I will say again too . IF YOU WERE NOT READY TO AT LEAST MAKE A DAMN GOOD ATTEMPT TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE W/ this band then MAYBE It was not the right time !!! If you cant hold off for a few weeks and cant control yourself and follow doctors orders on what you can and cant eat then MAYBE it might not be the right time for your surgery !!!

The people who CONTINUELY try to say "THIS IS OK " are the ones who are NEWLY Banded. Come back in a yr and see if you still feel that way !! im tired of people saying the TRUTH Is NOT SUPPORT !! I treat everyone on this board as I do my friends !!! HONEST and DIRECT Im sorry if its not what people want to hear all the time !!

i understand what you r saying if you take it as a joke then of course they r wrong but in terms of being ready no is ever 100% ready you make the commitment and it's an everyday process i agree u should try your best and not put crap in your mouth but just b/c im a new banded person doesn't mean im gonna change my ways in a yr i agree with alot of what you r trying to say i know that you r trying to help by being honest but with a new banded person they need more support then criticism cause sometimes tough love doesn't work

sometimes a person needs tough love. I am not going to hold someones hand if they are doing stupid crap . Sorry not happening !!

Just because you do not like my "approach" does not mean its wrong.

I also beleieve different people require, needs different kinds of support.SHOULD a person be 100% ready and commited to have the band when they have it ? I BELIEVE SO 100% ABSOLUTELY! Does that mean they are not going to change things and its a slow process ? Of corse things will change. BUT I believe they have to be ready 100% to ATTEMPT to do this or dont do it ?

Just my opinion what do i know ?

The point here to all this is that the original poster has learned her lesson and knows what to do now. From all the posts I have read here on LBT, there have been many people eat far worse and even sooner.

I am not saying doing anything outside your docs orders is ok, because they aren't, but at the same time, all this is new and takes trial and error to get right.Sometimes at a great cost. If WE were ALL able to follow orders, diets, exercise programs, etc in the first place, there would have never been a need for the band.

We are here to support each other and share our own experiences. If we don't help each other, who will? The best thing is to share all of this with your doc and see what he or she thinks. I think the lesson has been learned and support is needed from here on out.

Best wishes to all of you,

Stephanie

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
