    Hi, Yesterday was my one month anniversary from banding. My weight today was 243. (When I went to the hospital for my surgery, I was 257. So in 4 weeks and one day I've lost 14 pounds! Yeah! :ohmy::sneaky::frown::w00t::eek:

    I'm 4 weeks out from my surgery. I lost about 12 pounds the first couple of weeks and then started having low blood sugar issues, which have now seemed to resolve themselves. I'm still on mushy foods and I'm trying to be really careful about what I eat. (I had a little mishap with chicken so I've been sticking with soft foods). The last two weeks, my weight has stayed the same, not up ~ not down. What's up with that? Is that normal?

    Judging from your weight lost success...you've done really good. I would join you but I haven't even made it to firm foods yet. I think you'll be right back on track.

    Pre-op liquids and low sugar

    Channel61 replied to Picklesix's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums

    While I was in the hospital recovering, they gave me some apple juice. This was especially helpful getting the crushed pills down. I would talk to your dietician beforehand and ask her what you should have in the house.

    Low blood sugar, stuck food

    Channel61 replied to Channel61's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I had some OJ and Pineapple juice yesterday. Stuck with liquids and everything worked itself out. Today I woke up shaky again. I tried pineapple juice again. I think the OJ worked a little better yesterday but the juice seems to be doing the trick. I also sipped on some warm tea and warm broth yesterday. That felt good. Thank you for your responses!

    Has anyone had any issues with low blood sugar? On top of that, yesterday I think my chicken got stuck. How will I know when it finally passes? I still fill full but I don't have any pain and I can take small sips of Water, just nothing to eat.

    I have not had any fills yet. Today I had some chicken and I am worried that I didn't chew good enough. It feels like its stuck. I tried some water and that hurt. I ended up bending over the toilet and water, slimy mucus came out. (no vomiting). I can take small sips of water but I cannot tolerate any food. I think the chicken is still in there. What can I do? Did I mess my lap band up? I'm not in pain anymore unless I try to eat.
