December 2012 --- Band Buddies Unite!
Starshine33 replied to LadyLeigh2012's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It's because you are not getting at least 60 grams of protein a day. Eat more protein or shakes and it will stop. Promise. -
Miss73 is correct! Focus on staying hydrated. Protein will come later.

2 Months Post Op
Starshine33 replied to deanfaulkner1987's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Very normal. With the band you are only suppose to lose 4-8 lbs a month. It goes fast at first and slows down. It is better slow, therefor our skin has time to shrink as well instead of having baggy skin. -
When did your toughest weight loss plateau occur?
Starshine33 replied to Alex Brecher's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I was banded Nov. 16th and I have been hitting a plateau. Losing very very slow. I really need to make better choices and work out more. I'm sure if I ate a little better it would start to come off. I get my next fill tomorrow and hope I can lose 6 lbs this next month!! -

Banded Today

Only decaf at first, later on you can have caffeinated. The only toting is caffeinated makes you hungry. -
My doc and all of the staff are so nice and there to help!! My doctor has had lap band for 10 years. I had my post op appointment where I saw 2 nurses. As I was leaving my doc saw my husband and asked how I was doing. So I turned the corner and said I was doing great and he high fives me and have me a hug and said I'm so happy to hear that!! They explain everything so well and are there to answer any questions I have. I'm pretty sure my doc does my first fill and I have to do a class before, then nurses do fills after that. They do group meetings every Tuesday. I'm self pay and I get all first year fills with the $9,900 for surgery. I'm happy as could be with my Doctor!!!
