Hello Everyone,

 

I am fairly new to blogging! Just wanted to share a little bit. I had my LapBand surgery on Aug 23, 2011. Pre Op I was 324 pounds. I was on the protein diet for 4 weeks prior to surgery. I lost 10 pounds then. After surgery, the pounds dropped off down to 308 at my 1st 2 week doctor's appointent. I have been at 308 pounds every since. So, I went from a fast weight drop to no weight drop. Is this normal? I got to the doctor on Monday, September 19, 2011. Don't know if I will get a fill or not. Did not get one on my first visit.

 

I feel great. No post op problems. I have one concern though. I hear people saying they have restriction. I don't. I think I don't. I do take my time eating. My nickname should be chew chew. LOL I sometimes wonder if my band is in. However, I got my first restriction feel the other day. I was at work and rushing while eating pudding. OMG it did not go down. My mouth starting watering as if.... (you know). It only lasted for a few minutes. I had to bend over, and then it seemed like it slid on through. So, I guess that's the way restriction feels. It wouldn't move.

 

This forum really helps me to understand things. I enjoy conversing with people in the chat room and learning and sharing. You guys are great!!!

I had my surgery the day before you and I have been at the same weight for about a week now. I've been exercising everyday. But from what I have read, our bodies are healing right now and to give it time. It can be frustrating. I'm frustrated but I know I have to push on.

Lisa-Lisa, I'm your girl. My name is Lisa too. from looking at your picture you look like my former co-worker. anyways, that's restriction. until this week i have been suffering with restriction since 2weeks after my surgery. At my 7 week check-up I couldn't even get my first adjustment because i was soooooo restricted. Until now I just started to get somethings to go down. I know the feeling of the mouth watering. I have been suffering girl.

Anyways, I am glad that I am on my way to being able to eat. I was 304 when I started now I am down to 275.6 on my last visit. I have lost 27.9 pounds to date. My next appointment isn't until October and I hope to be down to the 35 mark. I was in a size 4x-5x(26-32) in my clothes now I'm down to a size 22. So excited, went shopping and bought me some apple bottom jeans....lol..no boots with the fur though.

Anyways girl, I hope things really work out for you and don't get discouraged you will begin to lose weight again. as far as not losing the weight you probably need another adjustment. I don't know you will just have to speak with your doctor about that.

God Bless
