Anyone get banded at 190lbs?
mias76 replied to hcintron21's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi. I got banded a little over 2 months and I'm at 180 although it's been a slow weightloss I'm really happy with it. Hang in there. I think for people who have less to loose the weightloss is slower -

mias76 replied to hcintron21's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
How's it going? Did you get banded? I got banded in May at 191 and I'm down to 180 and I'm happy. I finally feel like a "normal" person when I eat. I eat whatever I want but in smaller portions and I don't feel deprived 1 bit. -
I'm glad I'm not the only one who forgot

2 months, 47 lbs, and lots of learning.

Is it ok to drink out of a straw?

My bottle of water at work has a straw and after I went back to work I started using it and started getting gas pains again so I stopped and it helped with the gas pains -
Gaining weight after 1st fill and starting exercise!
mias76 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi! I'm trying to be really optimistic here. I had my 1st fill last Thursday and I started going to the gym on Sunday and instead of loosing weight I'm gaining weight!! I had my surgery 05/08/14 and I've been loosing steadily about 1 or 1 1/2 lbs per week and I was happy with that. This week I've gained 2 lbs!!! I assumed I would continue to loose weight, specially because I started working out. -

mias76 replied to mias76's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Betty, I'm doing 20-30 min of cardio (elliptical) and 20-30 min of weights. What do you think I should be doing? -

Thank you Chrissy! I did take my measurements the day of of surgery and again this morning so I can keep track of my inches lost which is what's really important. -
I received my 1st fill yesterday of only 2.6C but it's OK. I will not get another fill until 8 weeks because I go on vacation and he doesn't want me to get a fill right before I leave My NSV is that my boss told me he can tell I'm loosing weight (he doesn't know I got WLS) AND I can start seeing collar BONES!!!! I'm so happy about my bones starting to show up

You look amazing. What an inspiration!!

I still have pain on my port area if I bend over or do something the wrong way. Sorry I'm no help -
Thank you!! Since my dr is in the city, I was thinking of going to lunch with my kids before but I'll make it breakfast
-
I'm doing good. I go for my 1st fill on Thursday.

I've been drinking a tea every night to help me and it doesn't bother me at all. I have never been "regular" so I've been drinking it for a while

I had my lap band surgery 1 month ago today. I'm still not to my 100% self but I think it's because I'm always pushing myself. I feel discomfort where my port is. Honestly I was scared to have the surgery. Although I've lost 8lbs since surgery I'm happy with that pace. I know this time the weight loss is permanent unlike all the dozens of times I didn't really see the difference until I took these pics this morning.

I have not gotten a fill. I'm scheduled for June 19 and I'm nervous about that
-
The 2's are gone forever

Hey buddy!! I'm glad you're doing great. Weightloss has stalled for me a bit but it's ok. I don't get my 1st fill for another 2 weeks. Your fiancé stuck around because he knows your value as a Human being and on top of that your gorgeous!!

I can Definately tell the difference

I had surgery almost 4 weeks ago and I'm still having periodic sharp pains near my port area. I went to my post op appointment 2 weeks ago and my surgeon said it was normal but its been 2 weeks and I still feel it. It hurts when I bend over and/or at night when I'm laying down. How long will this last. The only working out I'm doing right now is walking for that same reason.

Thank you Betty!! Now I know it's normal to feel discomfort when I bend and lie down. I'm thinking I will start the gym on Monday. I finally saw a good jump on my weightloss this morning so I'm really happy!! -
