So Disappointed :(
Mel7 replied to newlifebeginswithme's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
2 peanut butter cups is amazing. Imagine how much you might have eaten pre band. My surgeon is also banded, and he's really emphasized that this is not a diet, but a new small portion way of life. This idea works for me. No good and bad foods but new focus on portion control. Good luck to you my friend. -

Any Goal Weight Twins? 65Lbs To Lose, How Long Did It Take You?
Mel7 replied to desertpixie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was 98 kg, banded 29 October 2013, with 2 pre op high protein diet. As of today, 8 December, I've lost 12 kilos. I have 3cc fill from surgery. First postop fill tomorrow which surgeon says will most likely be to 5cc. I've had a few fluctuations lately. Had lost almost 14 at one stage. Eating 800-1200 cals a day. Hope this helps. Mel -
You are in my thoughts.

Another Tale Of A First Fill.......
Mel7 replied to Bandista's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Well done. Thanks for the update. My first fill next week. -
I'm also stalled. 6 weeks post op and starving! My first fill is next week. Can't wait to hear how it's all going for you guys. Good thoughts to you both!
-
How's the recovery and weight loss going everyone?
-
Glad it was all ok. Bandista, let us know how you go. I was banded the 29th Oct and my first fill is 9 Dec.

Just read this online after my first stuck episode. It worked! Try putting your left hand under left armpit, and flap your arm like it's a chicken wing. Until you get unstuck! Try it. It works!

Thanks for the wise words. The culprit was bread. After the pre and post op diets, I've been craving it, but it's clearly not my friend!

I just bought some degas tablets, which did not resolve the problem, but relieved the pain and bloating really fast. You may have to get some suppositories. They seem to work.

How's everyone doing? I'm on mushies now. Week 3 postop. Weight loss totally stalled. I believe it's a thing, the 3 week stall.
-
But they smell so bad!
-
Liquids for 2 weeks so mushies on 13 November. How about you?
-
Get well soon Nay91. I'm day 5 now. Hugely bruised but off painkillers and starving!!! I could eat the horse that kicked me!!
-
It's the vagus nerve.
-
Glad it went well for you Carvinplayer. I'm home. Feeling ok. I told my surgeon I felt like I had been kicked by a horse. He said so long as it was only a small horse!
-
You poor thing! I really hope the pain and nausea stop soon honey. Hope you're better and can go home tomorrow xxx
