I had surgery 12/27..have lost 23lbs...has anyone started excercising?

I had surgery 12/27. Surgery weight was 245 and im 231 now. I have followed the full liquid diet as of now but i am struggling to drink and eat enough. I dont have an appetite. I am really hating the protein shake after taste and honestly i prefer to not eat but i push myself to least get 60g of protein with shakes. I also bought isopure protein drink in different flavors with 40g protein and i drink it cold. Just started creme of wheats and its ok. I dont have any issues drinking only thing that is happening lately after i eat creamy watery soup is hiccups. I have to regularize my breathing to stop hiccups. Lets stay motivated and keep encouraging each other..

im in tooooo!!!

hello Amigas!!! My first fill was jan 4 and i was suppose to get the 2nd fill in feb. i had to travel to california due to family illness and have now scheduled my fill for march 20th. i have not lost one pound. im kinda dreading going to clinic on tuesday. i havent gained but i do feel im stuck. does weightloss get better maybe after 2nd fill. i had surgery in november and have lost 26 pounds

i believe what prompted me to stuff my face with a chzburger was running errands all mrng abd when i picked up my daughter from school she wanted to go to portillos. and sure i could of chose the salads or a grilled chicken sand. but i chose the burger. i think ill begin to think twice before ordering . im sure it happens to all of us and today i went overboard. thanks so much fot advice

Hello Buddies I want to share what Im feeling.... I have a total of 4cc in band and i am hungry!! i feel really ashamed to say this but I ate a cheeseburger and fries today. i felt ZERO Restriction. As i ate i was sure i would be full but i enjoyed munching away at the cheeseburger and fries. I have noticed i dont have restriction. i havent eaten like some people say they eat. using measuring cups and scales. i know i got lapband to help me but it does make me feel like crap when i am able to eat junkfood. i usually eat healthy. just this morning i ate 2 eggwhites scrambled eggs and turkey bacon and i ate a whole wheat pita and water. but i blew it eating junk. i am allowing myself to eat 1200 cal a day. how many cal are u guys eating a day? i need support buddies

mrsclooney918 you are right about the fluctuations. i think im gonna weigh myself weekly. my size 20 jeans are feeling alot looser. so that feels good. just got my zumba videos. so for sure i have to workout how is everyone feeling today? maybe if we all stay in contact we can meet someday. i always go to harrahs casino joliet.

in regards to the weight.... one morning i can wake up and ill be 230.4 and next morning ill be 234.6 and it really fluctuates. as soon as i wake up i do my morning business and remove all clothing and weigh myself. so it is a bit fustrating to fluctuate. that was always one of my problems prior to surgery... i had fluctuating weight

at surgery the dr put 1cc and at fill i was given 3cc's and im still very hungry. i have changed what i eat and how much but i can still eat bread. i prefer to eat pitas which is not like me at all. ive always eaten bread or tortillas but i feel a pita with grilled chicken and lettuce curbs my appetite. is anyone takin vitamins or calcium? im taking gummy vitamins and calcium chews cause my hair started fallin out.

Just wanted to say Hello to all who have posted. hopefully we can keep this post going

You are so right! once i start moving ill be good to go. I just ordered Zumba dvds to hopefully I can get into that this week and go out for walks. in regards to the pain. this morning I didnt wake up with too much pain. but i am gonna call dr just to be safe

i had first fill the 1st week of jan and everything was ok. all of a sudden i get a deep dull pain every morning that feels horible. i went yo pharmacy and they auggeste Mylanta. hopefully it works. still no desire to workout. my goal is to lose 80 pounds. i started at 256 and im 231

i had surgery 11/18/11. still hve no motivation to workout
