my dr had told that she prefers the lap badn because the port is easier to find when giving fills. Hope that helps:redface:

HI All, Cannot believe how far past surgery we all are:lol: Ben, Welcome, looks like you are doing fantastic with your weight loss Bravo :thumbdown: Going for my first fill today and really hoping it makes a difference. I have not lost ANY weight in 2 weeks (although I didnt gain either:wink2:) Im hoping to really feel some restriction and hope this weight starts coming off more quickly. -
March 2009 - Lucky Losers! 1st Fill Ck-in
fatgirlinNY replied to malissa's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi all, sounds like everyone is doing well I go for my first fill on tuesday (I was banded on the 25th) I can't wait I have no constriction although I threw up for the first time today and it was aweful and scary Ive only lost 12-15 pounds and that was really only 2 weeks after surgery and since then, no weight loss....arghhh Really hoping the fill does the trick -
HI there, Well my surgery was on 3/25 and I have lost a total of 12-15 pounds. I thought the weight loss would be faster BUT at my last dr's visit I was informed that the weight won't really start coming off until after my first fill which is on 5/1. I feel great and super excited about this whole thing. I almost cancelled 2 days before surgery, I had such doubts because I was not Severly overweight. Good luck to you

2 days to go and I cheated HELP!

Hi there, just wanted to let you know I did the same thing:confused: It was very hard, BUT I made sure I stuck to the diet 2 days before, I have heard of people being cancelled because of not sticking to it:ohmy: Don't beat yourself up, I had Wendys 2 days before:w00t: good luck, you will be fine -
How are all the March 09 Lucky Losers doing? Updates everyone!

Banded 3/25 Ive lost about 11-13 pounds but that was all within the first 10 days after surgery, since then nothing:cool: I feel No restriction so it has been very difficult to keep my eating in check. Im not sure when my first fill is, I will find out this Monday. I really hope the fill makes a big difference:sneaky: Please keep checking in, it's gret to hear from everyone -

Hi Susan and everyone else Felling good today but think Im eating to much, yesterday I ate almost a whole sandwich with no problem:glare: Im 2 weeks p/o and my dr dosent do a fill until 6 weeks:confused: so how much weight have you all lost? I think Im at like like 12-13 pounds:closedeyes: -
well I started mushies
I couldnt take it anymore. I feel really good but I feel like I could eat like before the surgery..I dont get it!!!! How much have you lost?I think I lost about 10-12 pounds
-
First off I wanted to ask a question. My Dr told me my band is empty and they dont fill it until 6 weeks post op. I just started mushies but feel like I can eat like I did before the banding:eek: I have no restriction. Is this normal???

Thanks for the great info Hunzi, Karen, that recipe sounds yummy. Well I statred mushies and Im feeling like I have NO restriction, how about you guys? I lost about 10-12 pounds, was hoping for more but I'll take what I can get:smile: Im feeling great, just some tenderness in the port area. -
My pain was very minimal also. Day 2-3 was the worst and even then I only took tylenol. My port area is still sore (Im 11 days post-op). I have 3 boys and I was doing my normal Mom stuff just 3-4 days after surgery, like I had never had it:tongue:
-
So can I ask you "pro" bandsters what do you eat on a normal basis after your liquid/mushy phase? I feel like I was not given a proper nutrition guideline and really have no idea what to do.

Is anyone else finding it weird not to be eating, I make dinner for the family and watch them eaat and must admit it's depressing.:biggrin: Also, I have a lot of redness around my port incision, how about you guys? I hope everyone is well. I went for a post-op yesterday and was horrified with the black guck that comes out of the incisions:ohmy: but was told it was normal Ive lost 7 pounds, was hoping for more but I know that is still a lot especially for my BMI:closedeyes: -

Hi Rachel, glad you are felling well, it sounds to me like you need more Protein, the vinegar and oil just dosent seem like a good idea either but I could be wrong. what about Protein shakes? -
Hello my fellow Long Islanders:lol: Im officially 3 days post op and feeling pretty good, the anesthesia has me feeling a bit groggy and tired but really the pain is minimal. stopped the pain killers yesterday:tongue: I really could use some advice on what to eat, Im not getting enough Protein. Any advice would be great Oh and the best part is Im down 11 POUNDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!:wink:

well girls tomorrow is the BIG day. The first day of our new Lives:w00t: Im feeling better about my decision to have the surgery, I know it's right for me BTW Im so freakin hungry right now I feel like I might start knawing at my arm:confused: how is everyone else? -
Im so scared, I don't know why but Im having MAJOR second thoughts. I think it's beacuse everyone is telling me Im crazy for doing it because Im not extremely overweight (Im 211) but to me it is HUGE because Ive always been a thin person. How are you doing?
