WTG on your weight loss and size reduction. I am not losing but a couple pounds since surgery. Oh well, I hope it will come off once I get some restriction.

My dr. and dietician say carbonated drinks after 6 weeks.

Can you call your dietician or surgeon and ask them why you aren't loosing. I think I might be the same way.

No restriction, yet there is hornking
Sissyh1006 replied to GoddessNar's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I could have yougurt 2 - 14 days out and I have ate it without any problems and I would say regular size bites. I didn't get any fill in my band upon insertion. You should call your dr. I don't get eggs or veggies until 2 - 4 weeks out. -
What Protein Supplement do you Prefer?
Sissyh1006 replied to WannaBe1/2TheWoman's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
My dietician gave me a list of protein drinks i could use but they sell Briatric Advantage. My office mate and I each bought 2 flavors and split so we have choc., vanilla, strawberry, and banana. We can make all kinds of flavors and I add 1/2 packet of crystal light to my vanilla as well. I like that they have 27 grams of protein so I have not been hungry at all with them. I prefer them with water and a couple ice cubes and shake them up vs. putting them in the blender with milk. My office mate is struggling with them but she thinks it is all in her head. I told her to get used to it because she has 2 weeks following surgery to drink them 2 times a day. -

I am doing great one week out. SWent back to work on Monday. Countdown to the mushie stage is 6 days...I haven't been hungry and have ate very little but have drank my 2 protein shakes and other liquids. I even slept in my bed last night but still had lots of turning, least now it isn't as hard. I think I am healing. -
What vitamins/mineral supplements are you taking?
Sissyh1006 replied to Band_Groupie's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I take double calcium chewables, walmart carries a natural brand that are carmel, it is my treat of the day to chew...ha ha ha. I also take centrum silver chewable vitamins because I am post menapausal. -
should i be this hungry?
Sissyh1006 replied to brookeacomer's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
MY stomach growls some but I don't feel hungry. I just hear it. If you are drinking your Protein shakes I would look at how many grams of protein there are. Mine are Bariatric Advantage and have 27 grams of protein. I don't feel hungry with those and neither does my office mate. -
Since I have a desk job it was easy to return to work yesterday but I did leave 1.5 hours early just because I could....ha ha ha. I will wait and return to my part time job on Saturday which is standing and bending more. I think everyone just has to wait and see how the discomfort is and then make the decision.

should i be this hungry?
Sissyh1006 replied to brookeacomer's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
i was banded 4/1 and i am not hungry at all. I do 2 protein shakes that have 27 grams of protein is probably why. I have added in an occasional yogurt or broth. -
Well i am on full liquids till i see the doctor next Monday. For me today it has been 2 Protein shakes, chicken cup-a-Soup with the broth skimmed off. I tried a bit of cream of celery soup but dumped it down the drain. Oh and one orange s/f popscicle. That is typical day for me until I advance to full mushies. I did however return to work for the majority of the day today. It was 2 days earlier than expected.

I am doing great today. I must say this has been an easy road for me. Yesterday I went to the movies and shopping. Today I took the dog to the vet and for a walk around the block. I think I shall return to work on Monday instead of Wednesday. I am having not problem getting in what I am suppose to even though I haven't felt hungry. Hang in there all you bunnies.

I am sending up prayers your way that you lick this flu bug immediatly. Hang in there, have faith. Sherry
