on weekends, we scramble some eggs brown some sausage.....add onions, peppers, cheese, salsa and enjoy breakfast... still 1 cup and very filling...just finished it as i am typing this..during the week, i usually have a Protein shake (or some oatmeal w/ raisins) who ever said you cant eat with lap band is wrong thats my opinion

stay off the scale it goes up and down all day long and just by what you wrote, you see how it affects you...let your insides heal......4 to 6 weeks after surgery is for healing........and for getting your head into the game.........learning/thinking positive and FOLLOWING the lap bad post op diet...no one said having WLS was easy....except those who expected to lose 100 pounds overnight...dont be one of them.. to lose weight, we must eat or drink more calories then we burn off.... let the band work......but it must heal first..you need to heal first hon ps: who cares what so and so loses, thats them not YOU you focus on YOU

for best results, always follow your doctor's post op instructions...any questions/concerns always call the doctor especially if pain is involved...need to go day by day

agree with this pretty

stay off the scale it goes up and down all day long and just by what you wrote, you see how it affects you...let your insides heal......4 to 6 weeks after surgery as mis said is for healing........and for getting your head into the game.........learning/thinking positive and FOLLOWING the lap bad post op diet...no one said having WLS was easy....except those who expected to lose 100 pounds overnight...dont be one of them.. to lose weight, we must eat or drink more calories then we burn off.... let the band work......but it must heal first..you need to heal first hon ps: who cares what so and so loses, thats them not YOU you focus on YOU

for the best results with any WLS, it is vital to follow your doctors instructions...

i got (bad headaches) on my pre op phase..detoxing from diet soda, junk food etc....as missy stated, it passes...my dr and nutrtionist both advised me this would happen.....and i just took tylenol and it does get better......i guess it was my bodys way of saying get this crap outta HERE

like missy and pura said, visit the dr, let them advise you and see what is what....do not overly stress over things until there is something to stress about... just eat more Protein, drink alot and try to stay occupied but....if you are truly hungry (and not just head hunger/thinking you are), then eat....just keep up the great work

boom

yep, i get one every nov around my bday.....

my dr told me after surgery to take them (i still open a capsule a day and put into my morning shake) to help calm my #2 down after surgery.......aka liquids in and liquids out saga.......i def felt a noticable different within 48 hours......and i feel it helps me to this day.....

liquid just pushes it on through quicker (as my ole man told me once when i asked why he took a drink after each bite.....to make room for more).....boom do what works for you as you are losing and that is all that matters........great job

i took 8 days off from work at a desk job....and i think for the first 2 or 3 days, i was (tired) by the end of my day....keep up with the protein, the vitamins and rest when you can/need too and you will be as good as new in no time

i learned on my pre op that head hunger is real....i ate mainly because i was bored and it was easy/accessible....and alot of the time i ate when (other people ate).......now i eat when i am hungry.....focus on filling foods......and sure i snack but i choose fruit, Protein bars and drink alot......i would suggest drinking more perhaps and def hang in there.........eat if you are truly hungry.... hard to believe but there is a difference

you have those who lose with bypass and regain it all and then some you have those who lose with lapband and then regain it...its a ongoing cycle...unless the person makes a change no WLS will help them and my lap band doctor told me that and it (clicked on loud and clear) sorry you dealt with that....use that frustration to spur you on to success....take a peek at some gals/guys on here who have lost alot....total success and if one loses (slow) as long as they get there, who cares....

when i was able to have this surgery, i wanted to do one thing....push my granddaughter around the block in her stroller...... this band gave me the ability to walk again.....i am forever grateful..each day that passes is a bucket list in my eye that gets fulfilled.

i think i'd get arrested if met up with some....... for TOO MUCH FUN

am sorry feel better soon honey
