No Weight Loss at 5 months post-op
Journeytothenewme replied to BuffyC413's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I have been banded since 1/2011 and i am having the same problems you are. I have only lost 10pds since Jan. and i feel it is very difficult. I have a 14cc band & had 3 fills 6.5 cc. It is very difficult for me to get bread and meats down as well. My first meal for the day always comes back up for some reason. After that I am okay for the day but the meat hurts going down. I am wondering the same thing. Did i really make the right decision. I can truly say my workout is little to none. Lapbanders does working out really help with the weight loss. I am not eating much of anything daily so i know it is not the calorie intake. -

Tighter during your monthly?
Journeytothenewme replied to Swan56's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am feeling the same way you are. It is time for my cycle and everything i eat is coming back up. I just received a 2nd fill last week and I am 2 months post op today. I guess I will go back to liquids for a week or so. This is so not right. I am feeling so bad and I am starting to doubt myself as to why I even wanted the band. I know this is just an emotional issue but I dont feel like I am losing weight like others and that become discouraging. -
6 weeks post op - Does this get better?
Journeytothenewme replied to NuKim2011's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I WAS BANDED ON 1/7/2011 AS WELL AND I HAVENT LOST ANY WEIGHT SINCE PRE-OP. YOU ARE REALLY DOING WELL WITH THE WEIGHT LOSS. I HAVE NOT GAINED ANY WEIGHT SINCE THEN SO I AM NOT SURE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I HAD MY FIRST FILL AT 4 WEEKS POST OP AND IT WENT REALLY WELL. SO KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK....YOU ARE DOING GREAT! -
My Biggest Fear Is Coming True . . .
Journeytothenewme replied to Strike Up the Band's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am feeling your concern. I have not lost weight since the preop diet and at my first fill I was up 1 pound since surgery. I am not going to give up and you dont either. There are some that lose weight faster than others and we are in that percentile that doesnt lose it as fast. Continue to do what you are doing and I really think the food dairy will help us both. -
Ready for another fill... I need help Lapbanders. I am just not losing much weight and I am not sure if its how im eating, my body's metabolism or I just dont know....The ppl that have lost weight on their diets, will you please tell me what you are eating and how often.
-
Had my first fill today! Dont feel any different, but I will be patient and give it time. No weight loss....Just getting discouraged.

Journeytothenewme replied to amber2604's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
OMGGG what a wonderful weight loss. I am not losing and I am 13 days post op. What did you all do within those 4 weeks to lose that way? -
You really gave me motivation on your comment you gave to a girl on your past eating habits and your new eating habits. Can you give me an advice on when not to eat. I am 13 days post op and I am starting to get really hungry all the time. I have 2 more weeks before my 1st fill so what do you suggest i do for hunger.
-
Are there anyone out there that is eating at 13 days post op. I am on full liquids but I rather eat a pc of meat than mash pototoes. I am not having any problems, but I am not losing much weight either. Do you loose alot of weight before a fill?
-
Feeling down today....I am not seeing the weight go away. Ready for the gas and being bloated to go awayyy.
