I hear you...I didn't lose for a few days and in fact I put on 200 grams and 400 grams then didn't lose for 2 days then I thought right when I go to bed I am going to think I WILL LOSE WEIGHT TONIGHT!! First night I lost 200grams and the second night 600grams. Maybe it works!

Who's Getting Banded in August???
Roheryn replied to Tracyde730's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My doc said people are different with what they can eat but bread is a not possible no matter who...meaning the white breads or bakery breads that are so fresh they could be re squished into balls of dough. you either need really well toasted bread or wholemeal/wholegrain breads that aren't doughy! -
Sounds ok a few chews and it is mush anyway!! I had some white fish and chewed and chewed and it was yummy i had it with mashed potato with a bit of garlic salt through it which was REALLY tasty but the meal looked kinda icky because it was all white :drool: Just didn't seem right:lol:

It was ok. I have been very tired though by the time I get home. I have been trying to move a bit more because sitting in a chair can get really uncomfortable after a while! But hey an NSV I've been able to fit into a pair of pants I haven't worn in probably 1 year or more!!:drool: I've also been feeling a little sick by hte end of the day but that may be because i'm not burping and farting as much so I have it all inside by the end of the day! :tt2: Most people have made comments on my hair...probably because it is an easier thing to comment on (a bit blonder than previous colours and it was out and nicely straightened because normally I can't be bothered and put it in a ponytail ) I had two girls comment on how much weight I'd lost, one who knows and another who doesn't know which was nice :tt2:

I was HANGING for mushies and now I'm hanging for real food! I made a really nice vegie frittata in the mushies with all the vegies blended and it has lasted me for 4 lunches (which would have previously been one lunch) and it is SOOOO yummy! I also have loved spag bol (with pasta) and tuna mornay (with brown rice)(all from base ingredients coz it tastes better) and then blended to within an inch of their lives!

It is hard when you can't even make healthy choices at events/conferences! Well just think long term it will be gone! -
Hope all is ok now!! I say if you are losing and are full after the 1/2 cup then why get a fill? I wish I was in the same boat! :thumbup: What size band do you have?
-
Hope you are doing ok Ang!!
Had my staples out yesterday and I'm into my second week of mushies tomorrow. I've had tuna mornay (with brown rice), Spag bol (with pasta spirals), mashed potato, along with chunky soups (all of these pureed well) I had scrambled egg this morning which was VERY filling.
For lunch today it was a frittata with pureed ingredients which i then baked and it stayed in the pureed consistency (also pretty filling).
I am now wanting Mac and cheese!
Still a bit tender in the port area!!
where are you up to?
-
Hey Claudine!! Hope all is going well with you. Have you been forced to buy new work clothes yet??
-
Glad the fill went well!! Hope the weight comes off as you want! What size is your band?? Found out mine is 10cc.
I have lost not much at all now i've started puree...I have been walking about 30 mins each day and have been told that exercise wise walking is about it for at least 2-3 more weeks. I am home now though so I'll see how I go getting on the treadmill for a bit longer (especially now I am light enough to go on it
)I had major cravings yesterday for something BAD
I wanted to puree a pie and I also had a craving for a dim sim SIGH didn't act on it but I am SICK of baby food consistency!!They booked my fill in for the 20th October which to me seems WAY too long away!! I haven't really been that hungry though but I don't know how much that will change...I may see how I go because that will be more than 7 weeks post op!! My doc is going away though so maybe he won't be back til then but if I am really struggling, I'll try and get in with one of the others.
I haven't measured myself yet since I've been done. I'll see when i get round to it!
I'm back at work Thursday
I'll see how I go. I do get a bit sore after sitting upright for long periods around my port site so I'll take some pain killers and if they don't help I may just leave a little earlier...but I'll play it by ear! I haven't put on any work clothes yet so that should be interesting Getting my hair cut and coloured tomorrow which I am looking forward to
So I'll head back to work a new woman -
HAHAHAHAHAHHA That is too funny!
-
Are you getting anymore Protein neomie?? You may want to up that a bit put some Protein powder in things or have a few Protein shake each day!!
-
HAHAHA I'm a picker too so it is probably a good thing he stapled me :thumbup:
-
Hey Michelle!! Have you had your staples out yet?
Mine should be out Monday and I CANNOT wait!! I think I am finally starting to react to them!
Hope all is well with you!

I had a bad taste that came and went during my preop...It occured when you started to get Ketosis....drinking more water is supposed to help!! They also suggested during the preop to chew Chewing Gum but there is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY I will do that again given the stories I've read of Chewy getting stuck! So I say drink more Water. See if that helps and if it doesn't you may want to call your doc because I don't know how healthy it would be for your body to be having ketosis for an extended period of time.

I'm the same as Kiz!! My liquids were whatever will fit up a McDonalds straw...now it is whatever I can puree (1/2 cup)...so tonight it was Mum's YUMMY Spaghetti Bolognese ! I have also had mashed potato (pureed potato mash from scratch) with a bit of Campbell's Chunky Butter chicken Soup blended...for lunch I had Chunky Campbells Beef and Potato Soup pureed. I am kinda feeling lazy about making from scratch at the moment. But I'll get there :lovechoc: I much prefer fresher foods (plus there is less salt!!)
-
That was my thought. My doc said he used the staples because the stomach needs something more to hold it shut than tapes.
-
Ahhh not yet but being that 1cm, does it look like it needs stitching instead of the butterfly? I'd maybe chat with your doc anyway because the infection may need some antibiotics to clear it up even if you are using the saline! I'd call your doc, nurse or not :lovechoc:

Friday Morning Weigh Ins! - 5th Sept 2008
Roheryn replied to lellow's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Lost: 4.4kgs (about 9.86lbs) since the last weigh in 2 weeks ago....which included some in the preop. Exercise: Walking every day for all up about 30 minutes or so (Can't wait to get these staples out!!) In the past few days though I have come to a screeching halt and now I'm on mushies, it will be interesting to see what happens... -
I'd call your doc! It may be that they already had some fill in when they put it in. You may have too much restriction at the moment.
