Wait until you start solids. If you dont have restriction then you will need another fill. Good luck.

Emotional issue and I can't eat!!
juliegeraci replied to TulipStar's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Try writing in a journal or something like that. It sounds like you have some true feelings about your infertility that need to get out. -
You may want to drop your calories to 800-1k no more than 1200.

Nice NSV. Good job. Happy birthday.

Live your life as you are now and wear a swimsuit. You will have a wonderful time.

If you have to lose 100 lbs it would be considered normal to lose 50-60 lbs.

You should call you surgeon and ask for an anti naseau medication. I used it for about 2 weeks after surgery and it really helped. Good luck. -
How close to goal to get a TT?
juliegeraci replied to juliegeraci's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
Yeah, that is the problem. I only want to get to size 14 and that is probably 23 more lbs which would put me at 34 bmi. To get to 25 BMI I would have to get to 165 which is too thin for me. I am hoping at size 14 I will look good enough to have one. Its too hard for me to maintain under a size 14. In fact, I don't even think I've been there before! -
That is great results. I am hoping that it will accelerate my exercise as well.

Mushie food that fills you up... FAST
juliegeraci replied to abckids's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
That is so cool. Congrats on the restriction! -
A bodybug is a device you wear on your arm. It monitors your physical activity. Along with that you can log your food online in a journal. It basically keeps track of how much you will lose. I hear they are great.

Being Banded Tomorrow!
juliegeraci replied to nessa3678's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Nessa, good luck tomorrow. Besides soup or other liquids I think protein powder and gas x are correct. Good luck! -
Congratulations. Hope your surgery goes well.

My dad is a commercial fisherman here in CA. He named his boat the first name of his mother and the first name of his father. Very cool. Its called the Mary Vincent.

Restriction Without Fill?????????
juliegeraci replied to renewedhope's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Renewedhope, yes, you are swollen right now. If you aren't losing 1-2 lbs a week and you are really hungry you should get a fill. Some people are lucky and can lose on 1 cup of food without a fill. Others are not. Good luck. -
Hi Lisa, I think I probably had 6 fills my first year. Since then I've been unfilled and filled about 4 times. So the maintenance can be high. Good luck.
-
No, I go back to normal eating after an unfill. Typically there is only swelling with a fill. Good luck.
-
I would go back in for another fill. It is quite common to not have restriction after your first fill. It took me 5. Good luck.
-
Yes, if your doctor has cleared you on mushies you can definitely have refried beans. You don't have to blend them, they are considered a mushy. Good luck.

Restriction Without Fill?????????
juliegeraci replied to renewedhope's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
You can definitely have restriction without a fill. It just depends on your body. With that being said, your 3 ccs probably are making a world of difference. You are lucky. Just make sure you get in your protein if you are only eating 1/4 cup of food. I always start my day with a protein shake because of that. Good luck. -
talking to sugeron day after tomorrow
juliegeraci replied to oneangelinva's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgeon talked about obesity being a disease and the placement of the band. He had one there to show me. -
1 Week post-op visit tomorrow
juliegeraci replied to godzgurl75's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
my doctor basically looked at the incisions, took my blood pressure and weighed me. Once you start getting fills you will do great. Good luck. -
What the heck is wrong with me???????
juliegeraci replied to CajunCutie's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Cajuncutie, keep your eye on the prize. Try and stick to 1k calories a day and 30 minutes of walking. The weight will come off. Good luck.
