Suddenly have intense pain
crystaleffexx replied to tmposton's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had this after my surgery where my port is. If it's where your port is then it's normal it will hurt for a while about 2 months after your surgery. But you should call your doctor to be sure. -
Second fill question
crystaleffexx replied to ksc1965's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes this is normal. I had the same problem... You just have to get used to actually having restriction now and what you can and can't eat.. Make sure you wait long enough between bites that is where it can get really uncomfortable... -

When did you start to feel this way? Ive only been banded for 4 months and I'm already very discouraged I'm not losing and I'm exercising like crazy. What kinds of stuff did you eat before? -
Trying to get used to my Lap-Band
crystaleffexx replied to ddsweighin228's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I agree with you seafood has been easiest for me. Hamburger and chicken is also hard for me to get down. How long have you had your surgery? How much have you lost so far? It sounds like we are having the same issues. -

For those of you who have been banded for a while can you tell me about how long after your band you really started losing weight? And about how many pounds a month- first year? And years after? I want to set realistic goals and right now I'm am a little frustrated because I ha my surgery in December 2013 and I'm only down 10lbs and that's weight from my surgery. The first 2 fills I for the missed my port so I could eat anything I wanted which was a huge set back. Finally in April I got my first real fill and now I am feeling restricted but still not losing much and since I'm over the toilet a lot I don't think much is going down either.. Please show me the light! Xoxo -
Trying to get used to my Lap-Band
crystaleffexx replied to ddsweighin228's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
For the first 3 months after I had my surgery (dec 12,2013). I pretty much could eat whatever I wanted and I had already had 2 fills... I thought it was weird so my follow up in April and I explained what was happening and they remeasured my fluid only to find out I had none added since my surgery the technician missed my port each time.. Grrrr needless to say I pretty much had to start all over and they made sure to add fluid this time and I definitely feel restriction. I'm like you haven't lost much weight and getting really frustrated so I decided I'm not going to depend on my band as much and hit the gym as much as possible when I started doing that it jump started my weight loss and I lost 10 lbs in 1 week but that was 1 hour at the gym cardio every day for 7 days. Now I feel motivated again but because I had no restriction in my band for so long I have to learn the right habits all over again. I find my self over the toilet quite a bit but I'm leading what I can and cannot eat.. Lettuce is a no for me it feels really uncomfortable I am trying to stick to my shakes and soft proteins and veggies. It's all trial and error you will find out what works for you. -

Last Rites Meal
crystaleffexx replied to Ossama El Maghraby's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I started mine the day after Thanksgiving so yea I went all out!!! -
I can eat bread and pasta and rice in small portions with no problem. It's best to stay away from large amounts of these carbs because even if it goes down ok...it defeats the whole purpose. Just like every doctor is different every person is also. My doctor says fine out what works best for you. I was banded 12-12-13 and I'm down 25lbs but I am also very active
