hi everyone.. im guessing bandster hell is the weeks before your fills? im taking a guess because i dont know lol. but im really worried and wondering if anyones feeling the same way as me. or going thru the same thing as me. i pray someone is so i dont feel alone anymore... i was banded on july 17th and have lost about 25 pounds since then. i got my first fill about 2 weeks ago. i was under the impression that after each fill is when youll lose the weight the most. and i havent lost any yet. im feeling really discouraged and have recently reverted back to some old unhealthy eating habits... the past 2 days ive actually ate til i was OVERLY full.. too full. and i feel so upset and mad at myself. im wondering if its because im on my period. and the week before this i was PMSing... so maybe thats why im not losing anything? im just so confused and hope i didnt/dont mess my band up. everything looked fine 2 weeks ago at the fill xray. so i pray its still good. i still can only eat alittle and be full.. but the past 2 days ive actually just KEPT eating beyond that point. but im promising myself to start FRESH tomorrow. and catch this overtacking early. and get back on track! wish me luck everyone and anyone whose going thru anything similar to me PLEASE message or respond. i feel really alone and need advice.. thanks<3

hi everybody.. i was banded July 17th this year. i started off pretty good. i lost 6 pounds during the week pre-diet. and 24 pounds all together right now. so about 24 pounds in a month. but my problem is. after the very first week after surgery. i already started eating like i used to. :( i really know now that this whole thing is about breaking your own habits and changing your eating ways for good! i also stopped my Protein supplement after that first week. and i never really take my Vitamins either. i completely know i really fucked up. and NEED to start all over again. i just really wanted to know if anyone has had the same faults and experience as me.. SO SOON after the surgery. please share your stories and motivations. i just turned 20. and sometimes i feel like im still a kid and just want to eat whatever i want! ya know?? i just really need some advice. i NEED to get right back on track and do this!!

im feeling the same way. i wouldnt say im in bandster hell right now. i still feel full off of 3 small puree meals a day. (its almost been 3 weeks) but i still feel able to drink fast and eat fast. i try to slow it down. but i also still feel pretty tired and blah. like i used to before my surgery. im praying that after my first fill ill start to loose and feel that energy everyone talks about!! its been about 2 weeks so far and ive lost about 15 pounds. but that was all in the first week. nothing this week since i started purees.. :thumbup:

ive been put on a 1 week pre diet. my surgery is this friday (the 17th) ive done really well on the diet and NOT cheated. but i did have a couple freezey pops. they are no fat BUT 16 sugars. i really really hope that doesnt jeopardize my surgery. im really confused and worried about the whole liver shrinking deal. ive been on the diet for 6 days now. and ive only lost about 6 pounds!? this doesnt seem good compared to everyone else losing 15 or even 20? im praying that my liver shrunk enough :wub:

does your dr contact you or notify you in any way to tell you when to start you pre-op diet. today is 10 days until my surgery and i have NO clue what i should be doing? i expected my dr to tell me when to start it because i have no clue what diet to follow everyones is so different! my pre-op appt is with him today i guess he'll let me know to start the diet today? or was i suppost to a long time ago on my own? ahh please help me i hope i didnt screw up!

hi. i was noticing that everyone started their pre-op diet at least 2 weeks or more before their surgery date... did your drs tell you when to start it or let you know exactly when? im really nervous i expected my dr to let me know when i should start my pre-op diet. and today is now 10 days before my surgery.. was i suppost to start it on my own? or am i just freaking out too much? lol. my pre-op appointment with him is today. so im assuming today i start it? ahhh somebody give me some advice

hey, i was wondering if anyones got different results from different protein shakes. is the "unjury" protein shakes better for you and better results? or does any old protein shake really do the same?
