    Trying not to give up.

    I was also banded in August and have only lost around 25 pounds.. My problem is old habits are hard to break and I eat to many slider foods. So this week I have tried really hard to get back on tract. I also need to excerise, which I hate. hopefully I will do better in 2010.
  2. On Nov. 4th I am getting another fill. I can eat to much at each meal and haven't lost any weight in a month. I do try to stick to 4 oz a meal but sometimes eat 5,6, or even 7 oz. Its all healthy food protein and vegetables or fruit. I was thinking it might be a good idea to do the 5 day pouch test before my next fill to get me back on track and make sure I haven't stretched my pouch.
  3. Yes, I think its a good idea I need to get back on track. I am going to start it fri-tomorrow. I need to detox from sugar and carbs.
  4. Google 5 day pouch test Its a eating plan to get you back on track and to test your pouch so you feel full again
  5. I'm only suppose to eat 4 oz per meal (weighing food) but I find it takes 5 to 7 oz to fill me up for 4 hours. I am going in for a fill next week. I have only lost 2 pounds the last 3 weeks. I am eating to many carbs-I need to get back on track.

    How do you feel after your fills?

    I don't feel any different. I have had 2 fills for a total of 3.5 cc's I can eat anything and eat about a cup of food but try and keep it to 1/2 cup. I need to drink more water between eating so i don't get hungrey.
  7. Help, I don't know what got into me or what I was thinking. I had my 2nd fill today and instead of following a clear liquid diet when I got home I ate an Arnold sandwich thin with melted cheese on it!:tt1: Now I am scared. I feel fine, but I am full. What do you think will happen? I don't even know why I did it.

    had 2nd fill today didn't follow diet

    Thank you, I feel a little better. I just realized how much food controls me I do things without thinking. Hopfully I will learn to think before putting anything into my mouth.

    August Bios

    Hi everyone, My name is Cindy I am 54 years old and was banded Aug.17. I live in Melbourne, Fl. I have been overweight all my life except for a brief period in my early twenties. I started this journey at 230 and last week I weighed 216 at my first fill. I got 2.5 ccs and was doing great till this evening. I was so hungrey when I got home from work that I had 2 pieces of thin crust cheese pizza! I can't believe I did that. I hope I didn't ruin any thing. I get another fill in 2 days so maybe that will help. I have no self control.

    A fill 4 weeks out?

    I had my first fill yesterday--3 1/2 weeks post surgery--2.5 cc's in a 10 cc lap band AP. I haven't felt any restriction yet but I've been on liquids since the fill, tomorrow I can eat musheys, then solid- so maybe I will be able to tell then
  11. On Monday 8/31 I start the mushy stage. My Dr. wants me to weigh my food and just have the 3-4oz. meals a day. Well I am starting to feel hungry and I don't get my first fill till 9/17. How am I going to do this? Help- any suggestions.:wub:

    mushy's and hungrey

    Thank you for your suggestions. Guess what today I had an appointment with my Drs. nurse and I told her how hungry I was and they are moving my first fill to 9/9 instead of 9/16! They said they will do one on 9/9 and I can have my second on 9/16 and my third on 9/30:thumbup: She also said they will numb the area.

    mushy's and hungrey

    I have been eating protein shake for breakfast, soup and chicken salad for lunch, yogurt mid afternoon, cottage cheese or soup or chicken salad for dinner, jello or pudding for snack. I feel like I could sit down and eat a normal meal. I also have trouble drinking 64 oz. of water I'm lucky if I get down 32 oz. I can't wait for 9/17 and my first fill, I am scared I am going to gain weight or stretch my pouch:confused:
  14. I was just banded on Mon. Aug. 17, on the 18th I felt pretty good, but today I feel bloated and sore and have a gurgley stomach. Now I am scared I did to much yesterday and did something to the band. :biggrin: I am just going to stay in the recliner today and walk around a little bit.
  15. I feel soooo much better being on full liquids. I had a protein shake for breakfast, green pea soup watered down with skim milk and blended for lunch and dinner and a yogert drink for snack. No problems!
  16. I had my surgery 8/17. I am suppose to be on clear liquids till 8/24, but I was so weak and shaky I started full liquids today 8/22 I feel better now that I had a protein shake. I have lost 13 pounds. I still get tired very easily. I got some benefiber because I haven't had a bm since before surgery.:thumbup:

    burning at incision

    I have that feeling around the port incision(I was banded on the 17) I was scared it was infected but it looks ok. I'm living on italian ice, popsicles, jello and broth, tea, and water.

    My post op check up was today!

    Thats great that every thing is going well. I think the hardest part of this is going to be cooking dinner for our families when we are still in the liquid or mushy stage:drool:

    Well I still have my headache-it must be nerves. I have been drinking alot of water, jello, and italian ice. I'm really not that hungrey but the meatball subs my husband and daughter had for dinner looked mighty good.
