    Calling all A11s!!

    bobrocky replied to CarynW's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I gained a bit over Thanksgiving, but got it off. I finally broke 340 and got down to 336 at one point, but around 339 today. I've had 4 fills of 8.5 cc. I can tell food has slowed going down but I can still eat too much at a sitting. Haven't got stuck yet. Think I'm close though to getting to sweet spot. Dr didn't tell me to come in again. He thought this would be it.

    Nsv I Have To Share

    Great story! Can't wait til I can buy off the rack.

    I shoot for 1200 also.

    I'm taking pills as long as I can safely swallow them. I'm taking Aleve with no problem. The problem is if it stays in your new small stomach. At your stage it should go through with no problem.

    Anyone tried popcorn??

    bobrocky replied to medicgipson's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums

    I eat it all the time. I seem to lose weight faster if popcorn is my snack food.

    I had surgery in Aug. I've had 4 fills and now I'm losing steadily, but not restricted, but satisfied. No PBing. Glad about that. I lost 40 lbs and just stayed there quite a while, but just lost 5 lbs since my fill on Tuesday. Just hang in there. First let yourself heal up and stay on top of your protein. That's so much more filling and long lasting. Avoid all empty calories.

    I also ate a bit of everything. I ate slider stuff first, like cranberry sauce and yams. Then went to turkey etc, but small portions. But I was full. Later had pumpkin pie. Didn't gain any weight the next day, but I gained 3 ls. On Saturday. Guess I pushed my luck. But I got that off and have lst another 6 lbs since Thanksgiving. All of a sudden I'm losing everyday! Not going to complain.

    Wow! I'm glad you're better. That's pretty scary. Be careful.

    Omg Actually Lost Weight For Thanksgiving!!!

    bobrocky replied to Allison0927's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums

    I ate one regular platefull. I dont have restriction yet. I should have eaten less, but I ate a lot less than I woud have before. Afraid to look at the scales though.
  15. bobrocky
    Pretty much the same for me. I'm making the turkey. Deep fried! But I checked and the calories are actually close to the same as roasting it. Just 20 more per serving. Just going to eat a bit of everything. I don't have full restriction, so I can eat more, but I'm going to try not to. And if as some have said, if I space it out a bit, it won't be so bad. At least the turkey is good protein.

    bobrocky replied to CarynW's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I'll be glad when I get my next fill. I can still eat anything pretty much. I have very slight restriction occasionally. I gained about 3 lbs, so now I need to knock them off enforce thanksgiving.

    taking meds/cutting/crushing etc.

    bobrocky replied to suemile's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums

    I mix mine in apple sauce with some cinnamon and Splenda. Seems to cover med taste pretty well.

    I like it. I don't think there are anymore inline ads.

    I'm at 7.5 ccs in a large lapband. Some foods are going down a bit slowly, but I can still eat almost anything and not really getting any restriction yet. I get my 4th fill after thanskgiving and I think that will do it. I'm not losing any weight, but I'm not gaining either.

    Stomach Rumbling After Lap Band Surgery

    bobrocky replied to Banded in Bear Lake's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    My stomach rumbles all the time now. My friends say they dont hear it but it seems so loud to me. I get the hiccups when my stomach is full. Usually just 2 and then it stops.
  21. bobrocky
    We do have to be patient. The Dr doesn't have a magic number e can just dal up. It's trial and error. As my Dr said, "it's not an exact science." e Rey single one of us s different. Our time will come. Until then we follow the rules and use our will power. We can do it.

    I told everyone-my church, my work, my family, my Facebook. I'm really glad I did. I've gotten such great encouragement from them all. Mostly people tell me they want me around a lot more years and that made me feel great. I didnt know how worried some of my friends had been about me. But I know everyone is different and has different kinds of friends and family. It was a good decision for me though.

    I'm at about the same place as B-52. It's been 3 months and 3 fills. I'm at 7.5 cc out of 14 cc. band. I'm just starting to get restriction but I can still eat too much, but having to eat slower and be more aware. I think 4 fills will do it for me.

    Calling all A11s!!

    bobrocky replied to CarynW's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    It does take a while. I'm just getting there myself, but it's better to be slow and cautious than to get over filled and not be able to eat and drink.
  25. bobrocky
    Best decision I've made. I'm losing and feeling so much better already. I'm 100% off my meds. That alone made it worth it to me.
