Not losing much on preop. Discouraged.
line-dancer replied to wee315's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
you have done a great job I am not sure how much you thought you would loss. Weight loss at this point is to shrink you liver for the doctor ti have more room your real weight loss will start after you heal in 6 wks and you start to get the fills. -
Best time to weigh myself?
line-dancer replied to healthylifestyle4me's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I weight every morning and mark it on my calendar (which is right under this computer) and that way I can see how it changes daily. then I keep the lowest weight recorded in my head at true...when I go to the doctors anytime late is 5-6 lbs heavier. all diet plans will tell you once a week and at the same time is the best. -
six weeks usually for any surgery I would think this would be the same but do a lot of walking.

Milk of magnesia works well and I make lentil soup and blend it, freeze it in one cup amount and use when needed. Yes use something it makes you feel a lot better.

I don't know why everyone thinks that the day of surgery the band will stop u from eating, you need to heal then not everyone need it fill then how much is another question
-
sorry! but i gotta another fill ? for you all
line-dancer replied to The B's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
doesn't sound like you need a fill you r in the green zone. Some do great without a fill and other like myself need it have full. Head hunger is gone with 4 cc but to eat less I need 6cc so good for you not to need to many fills...good luck -
kitt lol good one....I tell them I don't care about the skin not going to go around naked but would like to be alive and healthy. Say " how shallow are you? to think that is the only problem fat people have."

Does anyone else believe they are addicted to sugar/flour
line-dancer replied to CanCan1791's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I think we all have this problem that why we need the band. I crave salty crunchy things now nuts and crackers...did the nuts last week and had the kids hide the crackers this week....my next fill should take care of that I hope. -
Need some support on issue in Vancouver ! Infected port!! No doctor!!
line-dancer replied to Devotedlillly's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
are they at least giving you meds to take care of the infection? removing it is a separate issue I would think. good luck -
Needs some advice please?
line-dancer replied to donna12's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
are you tracking all the food? that should tell you how much protein and everything you need check to see if you are getting enough of everything and take them into doctor with you do he can know also. Hope things get better soon you have been through a lot here. -
great job...
-
its just a small needle like when you get a flue shot and one fill may not do it so don't get disappointed if you need more, many of us get tour green when are band is half full . I have a 10cc band and it works best at 6 cc.

I did the same thing called doctor and got a script for promethazine and always have it on hand just in case but it was gone in a couple of months.

I use the 100 cal popcorn just when my head wont shut up.

Compliments are hard to take. Not worthy?
line-dancer replied to Suzzie81498's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
no I am so glad to have found something that is working so well with my head hunger after 40 yrs of trying I don't give a d__ I am pleased and happy with myself and you should be also -
Is being full a feeling in your chest?
line-dancer replied to bigcheese's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
day 5? you should still be on liquids so if you are eating anything then that its is getting stuck and that's not good look at you post op instruction or call the doctor and tell them what you are eating. -
get on myfitnesspal.com it will track every bite and tell you how much protein and other thing you body need in order to loss weight. every diet plan tells you to eat 3 meals,2snacks, and 64ox of water a day (that changes with the band). I have a bad knees and hip but joined a gym there is a lot to do that doesn't bother them moving is the key do what you can and as much as you can. good luck hope this helps.

If you are getting hungry b4 4-5 hours, if you have tons of head hunger then call in two weeks and tell them you want a fill. Many people do very well with no fill or just what you have in the beginning take it slow and be aware of your body and mind are doing at this time.
-
well, you body doesn't has any sugar and it is make a lot of chemical changes right now and doesn't like it. Depression is very common in the beginning if it keeps up talk to doctor about anti-depressents for short time if you don't normally have depression..hang in there it ges better and is so worth it in the long run.

your look great gravity works for us in this occation lol.
