Adequate caloric intake
amberakamom replied to ChopswyfT's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I plan on eating as many calories as I can to still lose weight. No way in hell would I want to eat only 800 calories a day for the rest of my life. I don't want my body to get used to that. I'm shooting for 1400 a day during the weight loss phase. <br> -
OMG! I Gained Weight!!!
amberakamom replied to BASIMAH's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Crap! I haven't gained. I lost last week. Tomorrow will be 2 weeks and it will be a very small loss. Don't know how that is possible, but whatever. -
No fill for me today
amberakamom replied to ChopswyfT's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
That sucks! My port is up high, like right below my boobs. He said it's easier to access where there isn't much fat. -
Do any bandsters get in tanning beds?
amberakamom replied to LeLe64's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I don't think it would effect the band, but it's awful for your skin. Spray tans can look really nice! -
As long as the water isn't coming back up, then I'd say you are not drinking too fast.

how much to eat a day?
amberakamom replied to TylerAshton567's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
If you go to sparkpeople.com, or myfitnesspal, they will give you your recommended daily calories. For me it says 1430 calories a day to lose 2 pounds a week. -

Does your back hurt when you are stuck?
amberakamom replied to JJLaw08's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Happens to me when I take one of my meds. I started cutting it in half and it's better now. -

All doctors are so different! I don't get soft foods until week 6. -

amberakamom replied to TylerAshton567's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Wow, solids after 1 week is really fast. I am still on full liquids and can feel restriction. My band is empty. -

I've had diarhea every day since surgery, which was a week ago. Today is especially bad! I don't expect to have normal poo's at this point, but I'm kinda scared to leave the house! Help!?

What's with all the burping?
amberakamom replied to catthegrape's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I burp when I "eat." Seems like it happens as the pouch empties. I'm only a week out though. -

Good luck on your journey! -
My surgeon is 33 and gorgeous. If I wasn't married I'd definitely have a crush on him! lol

I think we all WANT to eat real food, and soon enough we will get to. =) Stay focused. It won't last forever. Think positive!

If your band is tighter in the morning...
amberakamom replied to amberakamom's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
How is it harder? Does it come back up if you try to eat? -
Here are mine, 3 days post op.

I wouldn't worry about it yet, it could take a few more fills.

Well, Thank God, it's all gone now! -
Post op help needed...
amberakamom replied to BlairE's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I would definitely not eat any solids at this point. You could tear the sutures inside and that would be a major problem. I only had to be on clear liquids for 2 days and then it was on to full liquids, which really is like a feast compared to that darn pre-op diet. lol I think you just need to make a commitment to yourself to follow the rules, so that you will have the best outcome possible. Good luck! -
Starving!!!
amberakamom replied to Wonderwoman1993's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgeon has me on full liquids from day3 to day 14, which includes Protein Shakes, cream soups, cream of wheat , and pudding.
