I find that ill eat and its just habit to get something to drink....anyone have any tips/tricks for not doing this? I just do it w out thinking and then after that first SIP I remember but u know too late by then......

    Jimmy dean makes.some.bfast bowls that have 21-28 grams of.protien and not a ton of calories. My Dr recommended them for me n a few weeks once I can eat all that is in them.....maybe one of those and.a protein shake is always a good option....hrm tuna salad would keep.for a day or.so

    Lap Band With Gastric Plication

    mcuevas replied to Calamity Jane's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Hey all, I had lap band w plication on 6-6-12 started muchies this week and my weight loss has stalled. Is this normal for any of you? I feel frustrated because it was coming off so nicely and now nothing. I don't think I've gained any but still no loss. Is this normal for you all?

    I just started mushies too I started w a little cottage cheese and seen how I did w that. Seemed to do fine. I've also tried a few low fat saltines and did fine with those. Just take it slow.

    After I had my surgery the nurse told me.to remove the steri strip tape after 5 days or it would cause a reaction on the skin. Hope this helps ladies take that tape off!
  14. mcuevas

    So all my adult life I've complained that I can not lose weight and suddenly I think I may b losing too much too fast.....should I be worried? I am 6 days post op and have lost 15 lbs. I'm drinking my protein and usually can get in 1/2 cup of cream soup in a day. Feeling ok just a little concerned....

    Too Much Too Fast?

    Thanks ladies! I appreciate the responses

    I think today is the first day I actually feel good. not much pain and the gas is finally gone: ) yay!!!! Down 13 lbs since I started pre post last Sunday: ) I've realized why drinking slowly and taking small sips is so important..... It's really weird to not beable to gulp down water anymore. so happy to be on the other side of this.

    Hey everyone. Hope u are all doing well....I had my surgery on the 6th and I still feel so wiped. I have no energy I have been getting in my protein maybe not all but definitely more than half. My fluids are definitely being drank. Idk I had Lapland w plication and hiatal hernia repair. Could this be why? Just more surgery? Some of you seem to be back up to par already.

    The gas pains are awful How have those of you that have had surgery dealt with them? I've used gas x walking and heating pad. They only seem worse

    I believe staying overnight has a lot to do with your insurance also. My insurance only paid for Lapland as outpatient.

    Evening everyone. Sorry it's taken so long to update you all. I am home. Have been since 2. Surgery went great had a lot of pain initially but not so bad now. Very nauseous however. Have thrown up twice. Once in the hospital once here. Mostly been sleeping tried walking but that's what seems to bring on the naseau. How much can u all drink? I'm so thirsty but worried I may be drinking to much.
  25. mcuevas
    Today is my big day also.....have to be at the hospital at 515am my time. Very nervous. I'll keep everyone updated when I can. :/
