How Exactly Did You Lose 50 Plus Pounds
clw126 replied to Wgbem's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

So I am 4 weeks post op. I am not actually hungry but head hungry all the time!! Before surgery I would just eat at times like these. Does the head hunger go away with time? What do you do to control it?
-
Do any of you see a chiropractor? How long did you wait after surgery to go? My back is killing me and would love to go get adjusted, but I don't if all that twisting and pushing is a bad idea. I will prob call the surgeons office today.

Help About Joining Groups?
clw126 replied to Bos123's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I wondered this too. -
I took two weeks off and it was plenty. I am a retail manager. I'm just not lifting anything. I think it depends on the job.
-
So I'm 12 days post op and I accidentally used a straw tonight. I just forgot. Is it a huge deal? What is the reasoning behind it anyway?

I'm from Pittsburgh! I was banded Oct 4th. Who did your surgery?
-
Mis73 I usually find your posts to be the most informative and helpful. I am 23 so I guess I'm one of the young ones, but I truly gain the most from your posts. So thank you.

clw126 replied to vmarlau's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 11 days post op. I lost 15 the first 8 days and have put two back on -
I was told only walking for a month because your port incision needs to heel.
-
I was banded on 10/4. Since I'm off work and have a lot of time I have been reading a lot on here. I have now read a few posts from people who were only able to loose 20 pounds or so. Do you think this is the individuals (I hate I say it) but fault?
-
I didn't get one either. I just read a lot about others maybe with lap band. I'm not sure who have gotten them.
-
Did you get a serial number for your band?
-
I wasn't told a whole lot apparently. I didn't even know coming out with a realize band was even an option. Although after hearing what you said I think I might be better off anyway. I did notice that I can't feel my port like most people on here say they can. I also have no idea what size my band is.
-
I thought I was getting the lap band and came out with a realize band. I was assured that it makes no difference.
-
My insurance company paid for my band. I have been working a job I hate for the last year because I knew my insurance company would cover my band. Now that I am banded I'm ready to get the heck out. If my new insurance doesn't cover wls how much will my fills be?

Congrats on getting banded!! Are you excited?

Mine is clear liquid first week All liquid second week Mushies for two weeks Then soft foods for two weeks I am only in clear liquid phase. I feel like I will never get to soft foods. Why are the post op diets so different? -
The First Week After Banding Emotion...
clw126 replied to EllieD's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I'm six days post op. I cried yesterday thinking I made the biggest mistake of my life. I find coming on here and reading success stories to help my mood. We knew what we were getting ourselves into and I will get better! -
I was banded on Oct 4th. I know it's early and I can't do anything but walk yet but when can I start fully exercising? My follow up isn't until the 19th do I need to wait till after then?
-
I'm not really that sore. I'm ready to sleep on my stomach though! Did any of you try gasx? I read something about it on here but haven't tried it.
-
That's how I feel. I was banded on the 4th. There are moments where I am so mad I did this cause I just want something other than liquids! I also feel like my organs are moving anytime I shift or roll laying down. I also feel like I'm having a heart attack everytime I burp.
-
I was banded on Thursday with Cigna!! And I was one of the first to only have to wait 3 months!!!! Congrats we lucked out!
-
Oh I hear you. The liquid diet an I are not friends. I was actually in years today thinking why did I do this. I know it's for my health and I will be happy in the long run.
