Very happy one week out

Tomorrow will be one week since I got my band. :thumbup:After a false start (I was supposed to go in on March 29, and was postponed for two weeks because the Dr. heard a wheeze.) I was a little discouraged. After one week I feel good, I've lost 20 lbs. (including the 10 I lost on the pre-op diet which I had to continue for an add'l two weeks after I was postponed) I have to say I was not as diligent the second two weeks on pre-op diet, in fact I had two "last" dinners! I feel a little sore, but better each day. The biggest problem this week has been boredom since I am used to working, and I was not even able to walk my dogs. Tomorrow I go back to work for a few hours. I also have to say my friends and co workers have been VERY supportive which has meant a lot. My husband has also been very helpful and supportive. I think my biggest problem so far has been getting enough protein, and I wonder if I am eating enough. I find it tough to drink two protein drinks a day as recommended so I am adding protien powder to the foods I've been eating, 1/2 cup of protien for breakfast and about 1/4 - 1/2 cup of soup twice a day. I am not hungry, but get very gassy after I eat.

scale not moving

I am 25 days post-op and getting very frustrated. Although I've lost 27 lbs. so far including 10 pre-op, I seem to be stuck, gaining and losing the same 1/2 pound since Monday. I don't understand is since I am doing everything right, exercise, diet, protein, etc. Has anyone else gone through this?? (I get my first fill on Tuesday):smile:

Protein is the key

I weighed myself this morning 218 lbs, I have lost 25 lbs so far including the pre-op. Was hungry again today, but I've noticed that when I do not have the protein shakes for snacks I get more hungry. P.S. Diet jello with a tsp. of fat free cool whip is my favorite evening snack. I still have two weeks until my first fill.

more than half way there

I haven't posted in a while. I have lost a total of 55lbs. I am now 188 lbs. My goal is to be about 140. The last few months have been slow, but since my last fill about a week ago I can't seem to keep any solid food down. Although I can have smoothies and protein shakes and protein bars. :wink::unsure:I am hesitant to go back to the doctor for an un-fill since I am losing again. Has anyone else been through this?

Hungry!!!

Now that I am healing I find I am also getting hungrier. Is this normal. I followed my diet exactly today, making sure I had enough protien, water, etc. and my stomach was growling! I don't get my first fill for three weeks, I though you were supposed to feel less hungry. :wink2:

don't feel anything

I was doing so well in the beginning and managed to lose 33 lbs. but I seem to have stalled and keep gaining and losing the same 1 1/2 lbs. It's very frustrating!! It's been ten days since my first fill and I don't feel any restriction at all. I feel like I could eat a HORSE! I'm beginning to think I should have had the bypass. Someone tell me it will get better!!!

a little hungry

:wink2::confused:It is eleven days since my surgery, and generally I have been very happy with my progress. I have not been hungry at all until today. I don't know if it was because I did not have enough protein, but I felt hungry between lunch an dinner. I am also a little concerned because there seems to be a lump where the port is. Is this normal??
