I have just had my first fill in 1.5 years. My surgery was performed in May 2014. I lost over 108 lbs and I was so proud of myself. Here's the bad part, I became over confident in myself, thought I could start eating a few things here and there that I knew were bad for me but of course I thought I was invincible. I never went back to the doctor because I felt so embarrassed as the weight creeped back on. Well fast forward to today, I have gained back 55 lbs. of my 108 lb. loss and feel like a complete failure. I have picked myself up though and went back to the doctor today, had a fill and I'm restarting my weight loss journey all over again. Just want to tell everyone to not give into the temptation if you've lost a lot of weight because here I am 1.5 years later 55 lbs. heavier. I WILL lose this weight and get to my goal again. It's good to be back on bariatric pal. This was always such a great support system for me. Thanks for listening

Having Trouble With Slime And Burping
Cindi2014 replied to valoryeyes's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hi - I have been under a terrible amount of stress and tonight I took 4 bites of dinner and immediately got that terrible pain like someone is sitting on your chest then came the sliming. I haven't experienced such pain like this before. Do you think it could be the stress that I'm under tightening the band? -
I'm back. Ready to restart

Well I did it
I have lost exactly 100 lbs. in not even 8 months. 20 more to goal. I am thrilled beyond words. I love my lapband. Happy Holidays everyone -
Day 1 of my pre-op diet, and SO many questions
Cindi2014 replied to CherieRyde's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I only had headaches for a short period. They were horrible but they passed. Once I was on mushy food, they stopped. -

6 days post op still hurting
Cindi2014 replied to sbrown1's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I promise you that it will get better. I had to take the pain medication for 1 week straight. After that, each day got so much better and 4 months later I am totally comfortable with my band. You'll get through it. Start walking as soon as you can. That helps tremendously. Best of luck -
Woohoo!!! 75 lbs. lost as of today. So thrilled

Cindi2014 replied to kipa's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I did 4 slimfast high protein shakes a day plus at night I was allowed to have 1 cup of soft cooked veggies. I was getting in about 80 grams of protein a day. -

Just had my surgery Monday, July 14, 2014
Cindi2014 replied to NYDani's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I promise you all that it will get better. I had discomfort for a week, I couldn't sleep on my sides for 2 weeks. I recommend walking as much as possible, will help you feel better and also will help with the gas. Also, don't be afraid to take the pain medication. I took it for a solid week and had no problems. I also think it's a good idea to start taking a stool softener. I suffered terribly from constipation and wish someone had told me to start with them early. Other than that, you'll do great. Most importantly, stay positive and look forward to reaching your goal. You can do it. Just keep saying that over and over. -
Day 1 of my pre-op diet, and SO many questions
Cindi2014 replied to CherieRyde's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I did the slimfast high protein shakes. They were actually pretty delicious. I still do a shake for breakfast. During the liquid diet, I did 4 shakes and lived on chicken broth, sugar free jello and ice pops. You'll get through it, just try to stay positive -
I started out walking just 10 minutes a day. 2 months post-op, I am walking for an hour, 2+ miles. I feel so much better and I'm really seeing a difference. I no longer get winded which is a blessing. Hoping to join a gym soon too.
