    Gaining too much weight

    I had my baby last march and when I found out I was pregnant my doctor didn't want me to get a fill. Then after I had the baby I was brestfeeding and my doctor told me he didn't want me to get a fill because if I started to throw up and i might not getting enough nutrients for my Milk. So I waited until I stopped to get a fill. The only thing is I gained my weight back. Now that I got my fill I can't get back on track. It's hard.

    3 Weeks post op and need some help!

    I am 3 months post op and i went through the same thing. I lost 27 pounds in 2 weeks then nothing. NOw im 50 pounds down. It will get a little better after your first fill. Im on my second fill and its getting better. Just hang in there.
  7. Thanks dlk4k! I having been getting on this site that much lately, and I need to. I forgot how much supoort this site is.
  8. I am stuck. I have not lost any weight. I lost 27 pound really fast after surgery (one week). Now i have only lost about ten punds since then (total 38 punds). I was banded on 12/29/10. Is this ok? I had my first fill on 2/4/11 (0.5CC). Im starting to wonder if this was enough. I get full a little faster but I still get hungry. How long in between do you have to wait to get another fill. I want to lose weight but I feel like im stuck. Or am I just rushing it and should take some time and see how this fill is for me? I NEED HELP.

  10. I went to the weight loss center where I live and I felt really rushed. So I visted another Doctor and felt so much better walking out. Plus I didnt need all the test that the weight loss center wanted. After doing research on them I found out that they make you do all these test so they can bill your insurance, but you really do not need them if your BMI is greater then 40. I had Blue cross and they approved me with out the test. Plus after I told them I didnt want to go through it with them they still kept calling me. If I were you I would do my research. There are other doctors out there. I had mine done With Doctor K in Glendale and he is really good.
  11. Congrats!!!!!!!. I remember the feeling of getting approved. Its the best.
  12. I am going through the same thing. I lost 27 lbs really quick after surgery, and now im stuck. I hope it changes. I am goingon week 3. I eat cottage cheese for breakfast, soup for lunch, and chicken salad for dinner. I drink my shakes between my breakfast and lunch and lunch and dinner. I hope I am eating right. My doctor really didnt give me a diet to follow. I have been getting all my information from here.
  13. I dont know how much vitamins I should be taking. What Vitamins do you take? Which one helps with hair loss? Also how long after surgery can you start exercising??? Please HELP!!
  14. I was banded on the 29 th and I went through the samething. It will get better the first two days were bad but today I woke up and I'm feeling so much better. Walking helped me out a lot.
  15. I hope everyone is doing good! I am feeling a lot better. All the gas pain have gone away. I'm just a little sore where my port is. Can't wait to get off this liquid diet. Lol
