Big As Life

Congrats on your band and your fast weight loss....just enjoy it...and don't worry about it being to fast...It will slow down...I think I lost maybe 10 lbs the first week...I was just happy to be losing...enjoy the journey...

Did your doctor give you anything to take for nausea? I had a prescription for Phenergran and I even had to wear a patch behind the ear for three days...day one being the night before surgery and then two more days...I had no problems...call your doctor and see if they can give you a prescription for Phenergran...

I don't know....I do a four mile workout seven days a week..I don't really enjoy it, but I know I have to exercise to lose the weight... If you are obsessed, that is okay...At least you are seeing results...and you are not obsessing over food, right?

I eat a half a cup per meal...three meals a day...no snacking...

Wow...I can't believe that your dietician has approved solid food..even chewing it carefully...I guess each surgery clinic is different...Mine would not have recommended that because solid food is to heavy for the new banded stomach...it could cause your band to slip...the stomach is healing...that is why the light food..liquids, mushies, soft....then solids in week five...but I would assume that your dietician knows what is best for you...good luck...

Wendy, Don't Be Concerned With Weight Loss Until After You Heal...if You Are Only A Couple Of Weeks Out, You Still Have Swelling...once Thing I Would Suggest To You, Stop Weighing...don't Worry About Your Weight At This Point..you Need To Heal And If You Will Eat What You Are Supposed To Eat, You Will Lose...don't Eat More Than You Are Supposed To...and Stick To The Program...but Quit Weighing Yourself...you Can Start Back After You Have A Fill Or Even Two Fills...

Take Liquid Gas-x ...

Give It Time..you Will Start To Feel Better About The Band...it Is Going To Be Fine..you Will Get Past This...

Change Up Your Exercise..sometimes Your Body Gets To Use To The Exercise And It Gets Efficient..it Won't Burn As Many Calories ...change It Up...walk Faster And Further...wear Weights On Your Legs...step It Up And You Will Probably Begin To See A Difference...

I Know What You Mean...i Do A Four Mile Workout Everyday Of The Week..no Excuses....i Also Work Out With Weights...i Have Seen A Big Difference In Weight Loss...

Good Luck...hope All Goes Well...

You Are Just Like The Rest Of Us...everyone Was Nervous And Scared..well There May Be Some That Was Not Nervous, But I Sure Was...i Was So Scared To Death...but I Would Do It Again Tomorrow...best Thing I Have Ever Done...

I Was Denied By Insurance Company, So I Self Paid...but I Do Wish You Luck...and I Hope You Are Approved Really Fast...

Congrats To You....i Hope That All Goes Well And You Do Get Your Band..it Is Wonderful Being In Bandland...i Was Banded On 4/6/07 And I Have Lost 69 Lbs...

Congrats To You...that Is Wonderful...hope It Goes Well And Really Fast...good Luck...

Don't Worry About The Amount Of Time It Takes To Lose The Weight...you Will Just Be Happy To See It Come Off...i Was Banded In 4/07 And I Have Lost 69 Lbs...i Couldn't Be Happier...and I Feel Great...

Hang In There Debbie..you Are Doing Great...

I Told Very Few People...now That The Weight Is Coming Off , People Are Starting To Ask...i Don't Lie To Those That Just Come Out And Ask Me...i Tell Them I Have Had Lapband...but Those That Say. You Are Sure Looking Good , I Just Say Thanks...

I Was A Self Pay, So I Didn't Need Anything But Money...i Am So Glad That I Was Banded...i Would Do It Again Tomorrow...i Was Banded On 4/6/07 And I Have Lost 67 Lbs...i Have 35 To Go....is It Easy??? No...you Have To Work With Your Band..it Will Not Work If You Don't Work...you Have To Really Be Committed To This Surgery...you Have To Exercise And Choose Healthy Foods...if You Can't Stick To A 2 Week Pre -op...you Are Not Going To Stick To The 5 Week Post Op....you Have To Make Up Your Mind That You Want This More Than You Want Food...you Can Do This...you Just Have To Be Committed...and Remember...nothing Taste As Good As Being Thin....nothing...
