Harder than I thought
jessicawinston replied to jessicawinston's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I love this group it helps me so much! As far as exercising. Right not I am out of commission hopefully in a week or two I can get into the pool. I hurt my ankle bad hurt. But I think the doc is going to let me swim again. It's less impact. But I have been doing better lost 2 lbs because I am really ignoring the "it's ok" brain talk. I posted something else on this site about breakfast and go some great ideas. So now I can start my day off on the right foot -
This has been the hardest thing to do I was banded April 5 of this year. At first before surgery with the preop diet I lost 20lbs then after the surgery in the beginning i lost another 20. So that leaves me with two months of not weight loss. My dr is aggressive tightening it for me. (Thank god he's not one to drag the tightening out) but it seams I still am having issues making the right decisions on food choices. I haven't lost any weight in almost 2 months. I started my journey swearing off all bad for you foods. Then i get in to is ok tomorrow will be better. I am now a wine drinker (bad girl) I have only a half if cup or so every night. Then that leads to the snacking at night boo. I really thought it would be easier. Then I think maybe it needs to be tighter. But I know in my heart it doesn't. I have issues with chicken for gods sake. And one kind of fish. I really had no idea. But I did know I just chose to think it would be a piece of cake. Then now I sprained my ankle. A bad one my take 3 months to heal. I swear what do I do? Sorry for venting. I needed to talk to someone who is doing this too.

Good idea I sit a my desk and starve so that has me making poor choices. Then it messes my day up. Then at night I eat more crap. I feel like a failure. Igh

jessicawinston replied to jessicawinston's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
That was a typo I lost 32lbs but yes yay! I am so happy and I think it was proof that I am serious about this. -
My dr said moist chicken flaky fish and over cooked veggies. I was banded April 5 and I just got a fill. And now I'm back on clear liquid again uggggggggg

So today was my first fill. I can't believe when I got on their scale 5 weeks after surgery I have lost 22 lbs from the beginning of my preop diet started:) yay. Back to the fill it was the weirdest feeling ever!! No pain and he walked me thru the whole thing. Then he had me drink barium and took an X-ray. When I drank the stuff it was the worse he showed it going thru perfectly but I felt like it was stuck. So he took some out and I instantly felt better. He only took half a Cc out. I feel more like a bandster now that I it my first fill yay:)

Transitioning into REAL food
jessicawinston replied to Mrs_Daily's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was very worried about going to solid food. I was on liquids two weeks before and 3 weeks after. It was good just so slow:) now me i need a fill I'm always hungry and I do everything I can do just to ignore!! One day a woke up (actually two days ago) and boom here is the hunger almost like my body said ahhhhahhh it's time to eat:) I was banded April 5 -
This sounds like a baby but my mommy made me homemade broth. She gave me the broth and feed the soup to my family. It was awesome!!! So make the family home made soup and keep the broth for yourself
