Thank you for sharing your story it's so true every surgery works differently for everyone I've had my surgery in 2013 doing great got injured gain some of the weight back you see your friends who had surgery they look amazing and wonder why you don't look the same

I was banded two years ago and I was doing so well feeling good looking good losing weight last year I. got injured and I had to wear a boot on my foot for five months drove me crazy however having a boot on I wasn't able to be as active as I would like to be and I felt my body gaining weight I was eating the same things I normally did except on some occasions but by the time I took the boot off wen't on the scale I've gained back all the weight I've lost I haven't gained anymore it's just been staying at the same number for the last three months I'm back to working out I did get a fill when I had the boot on but now I think I need an unfilled I feel way too tight some days. I can't even eat yogurt and I've been thrown my food up a lot Ive ever tried diet pills which defeats the purpose of you having surgery but just don't know what to do

Thanks for the encouragement yes I made an appointment Monday to get a small unfill and talk to my doc about my weight loss

I had my surgery July 1-2013 the beginning I was losing weight and for the last five months I only lost like 2 pounds since my surgery I've lost 24 In total I work out 3 to 4 times a week I'm at 6cci was at 7cc but I was to tight so I had to get some fluids removed I fell like I should be loosing more weight don't know what I'm doing wrong!

No I don't track my calories I guess I should start because I need to do something that works

Yes I have the same lady all the time and yes I was no fun I cannot wait to get out of there

Had surgery on July 1, 2013 I was 240 pounds had my 4th fill today and it was the most pain I have ever had with a fill they found my port but the needle would not go in so they thought my port had Flip over because when she tried to put the needle in it keep hitting something after 5 attempts I told her take the needle out right now it hurts so she did so I waited a couple minutes and we tried it again apparently my port is at an angle so you can't go straight in like some people you have to turn my needle to the side so she said as people lose weight sometimes your port tens to shift So now I'm at 6.5cc I hope this puts me in my green zone weight today was 220

I eat them sometimes for lunch I always do the turkey because it has 18gm of protein I always warm it up so it goes down a little better

Had my surgery on July 1 I've had 3 fills I'm at 6cc now I have only lost 14 pounds and that's great but since my last fill I have not lost a pound Getting a little frustrated I'm working out eating right I slipped up one day and had some fried shrimp that was it I don't know if my body thinks it's in starvation mode and I'm not losing but I don't know what to do My friend who had the surgery to an a half years ago tells me to be patient it will come I'm just trying to figure out if I'm doing something wrong I see people losing 40 pounds a month

I had my surgery on July 1 had fill #3 to day I'm at 6cc now My fill nurse told me Not have cereal because too many carbs don't have cream of wheat too many carbs so I need some breakfast ideas I do have eggs sometimes And Greek yogurt but I want to change it up to something Any ideas on what everyone else is having. That doesn't have a lot of carbs

Yes never like beef Jerky till now really good Source of Protein I get turkey jerky for target and Walmart It is a little expensive for how much comes in the bag

I wish I can use protein powder I bought soy protein powder from whole foods GNC flavored unflavored I don't know why but it makes me throw up every time but I can drink a Once's that Already made

The reason why i say I'm getting bored I'm making healthy decisions But there's just some food now that don't go down very well like chicken Even if it's Moist Tuna also I eat eggs hummus lean turkey meat meatballs turkey And cheese And Greek yogurt Lean turkey meat with Laughing cow cheese turkey sausage and Canadian bacon that all I eat day in and day out

I know I'm trying real hard to stay off the scale As far as the food goes I think I'm doing pretty good but sometimes I do get bored eating the something but It's part of the journey and I want to be successful

My doc tells to have a Protein Shake in the mourning then have my Breakfast but you can eat in the mourning if you want then have a shake for a Snack later in the day

How do I make the protein pancake And what do you put on them to replace pancake syrup so there not so dry

Thanks for the ideas I don't like eating Leftovers in the morning it upsets my stomach For some reason

Starting to have headaches everyday and night don't know what's going on

I definitely will I see him on Thursday

This fill was much Better the the first one the water is going down real well and i don't feel hungry at all my first Fill i was so hungry all day I'm at 5 cc now so will see how the weight comes off ill be back in 3weeks for my 3 fill

I have a. 10cc band But the nurse at my Surgeon office said they like to be. Aggressive in the beginning with the fills then they slow it down

Had my first first fill today Wasn't to Bad I know they said only clear liquids for today but just water Can you also have Chicken broth and what else if anyone knows

I think I really need this fill coming up on Thursday I'm not really losing I'm doing the right things except for my birthday Yesterday was the first time since my surgery on July 1 I eat the whole plate of food I felt so guilty after I wanted to throw up in the restroom I have lost 13 pounds So far and again three back not a happy camper feeling a little down

I meant to say whole foods also

I get the Kashi bars from target and Whole also has a big variety of protein bar that I like
