Lindypie

Hi guys, He does alot of bypass as well as the band. I was told that as long I was losing, even on the small amount of food that he would post-pone the fill! Today however, I ate the filling of an entire burrito! I was starving...I shocked myself!...I am also doing pilates everyday, especially now that I am recovering from a fracture of my r foot and break on my l ankle! I must admit that I haven't lost but 1 pound in these last 5 weeks! Today was the most I've eaten in one sitting! I usually stick to 1/3-1/2c per meal.....i am really feeling so depressed...I can't seem to enjoy my small success. This forum is the only place that I don't feel so alone1 thanks to all of you! Linda

Hi, I was banded Sept 18 2008- it has been 4 1/2 mths no fill yet 32lbs loss since date of surgery!

Hello, Thanks for your time and info.! Linda

Hello, Hello, I am new today to this website! I had my band put in on Sept. 18 2007. I have lost 31lbs. I have not had a fill yet. I am eating about a half cup per meal 3x day plus 2 protein drinks. I don't know if I'm eating too much or not! I have only lost 1 lb. this month. Am I in a plateau? My next visit to my surgeon is in march which will make my first fill on the 6th month out! Itis so hard to get the nutrionist to call me back. Anyone with similar progress? Thank you!:biggrin:

please add Lindypie for surgery-Sept. 18, 2007 San diego now post-op

Lindypie Sept 18, 2007 I too am slowing down lost 1 lb in January. lost 31lbs.-4 mths out-38 lbs from 1st consult no fiils yet! I don't feel so alone...good luck to us all!

Hi, Well when i went to my surgeon's office last month I lost four pounds at my weigh -in then the nurse came back and told me to go home and schedule an appointment for three more months that the Dr. wasn't going to see me today....I didn't get to see the nutrionist either! So here I am hoping to find some lapbanders who will help me not feel so abandoned! lol I guess I'm feeling a little scared that i won't be a success! :biggrin: Any advice?

Hi there everyone, I am also a newbie to this site! I had my band done Sept 18 2007 I have lost 31lbs. 40lbs. since my first consult wiyh my pcp. I just wanted to know if anyone out there has had to wait at least 4 months like I do to get their first fill! I only lost 1 lb this month and was wondering if i should call to get a fill now or not. my surgeon's office is not really helping me with my progress. any advice? Thank you much!
