So what is everyone doing for Thanksgiving?
bunny106 replied to rhondas's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
sounds relaxing! Im going to be home with a few family members coming over, first fill is day after tomorrow...I'm going to be concentrating on not overeating!! Have a happy thanksgiving -
One thing I read on here was to remember that its a "holiday" and not a "holiweek", Im having one reasonably sized plate and when the food on it is finished so am I. Just thinking about all the weight I used to gain over 1 day makes me cringe.

GORGEOUS!!

October 2010 Bandsters!!
bunny106 replied to Sarah71407's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Texasdream try not to get discouraged, I know how you feel but I read alot of people dont really start losing until restriction comes back into play. Just try to eat right and stay on course until it happens...this too shall pass:smile2: -
Thanks for adding me Janet, Im hoping I have the success you had, very inspiring. Congrats to your daughter!

we can and will!! I've told myself that failure isnt an option:thumbup:

exactly same feeling here! feels like I dont even have a lapband. My first fill is 11/26. Im reading that restriction doesnt come till about the 3rd fill:cursing: but as long as Im not starving, I'll take it! When's your first fill?
-
mn guest were band twins! I had surgery the same day as you and its good to know someone feels the same way, Im watching what I eat but can feel my appetite has returned. Hoping for even a small amount of restriction after the first fill.

Another Gastric Bypass Friend has gained back 15 lbs!!!
bunny106 commented on janetsjourneytoslim's blog entry in Blog 75574
I have quite a few friends who have had GB, and some have gained a whole lot back and some have gained a little back. It really was a wake up call that no bariatric surgery is the final correct answer! thanks for the encouraging words of prayer:) -
Another newly banded in "hell"
bunny106 replied to MaineJackie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I understand where you're coming from. Most of my weight loss is pre op, haven't seen much of a change since surgery. I keep reading that youre just supposed to concentrate on healing but thats so hard when it seems like so many people are dropping weight right after surgery... -
October 2010 (Bootiful Bandsters) Thread
bunny106 replied to Alisomniac's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had surgery on 10/29 as well and have barely lost anything post op, Im a little worried but Im trying to remain hopeful. I feel like I can eat anything if I didnt restict myself...cant wait for the first fill! -
2 weeks ago I was 227lbs now im 240!!!! HELP
bunny106 replied to MsFab1988's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
OP, have you been eating sliders or is this just a case of not enough restriction? I had surgery on the 29th of October and went in for my post op today, I only lost 5.8 pds? the NP told me its very easy to gain weight during the mushy stage. If thats all I lost on liquids, whats it going to be like once I start eating solids? Im frustrated... -
Pre-op liquid diet - weakness
bunny106 replied to michaelk's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
it does! I was so hungry for the first 3 days and then it seemed to just subside. Stick with it and dont worry it gets better! -

thanks for the suggestion, I have to remind myself that this is a temporary situation. Whenever I watch tv I find myself:drool: at all the food ads! -
October 2010 Bandsters!!
bunny106 replied to Sarah71407's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi everyone! hope youre all doing well. I was wondering if anyone else is hungry as a horse? I was banded on 10/29 and about 3 days afterward my appetite came back, and since then its been increasing. Does anyone have any ideas about how to keep the hunger at bay? -
I agree! I know surgeons who only do the sleeve OR lapband but who will not perform RNY, do whats right for you! If you decided on the lapband do your research and trust your desicion.

we had surgery on the same day:thumbup: Its not just you, Im starving too. I read on here that Protein helps, look in the recipe section and there are recipes for the liquid phase, sometimes you just need something different.

Do you wish you would've had Gastric Bypass instead?
bunny106 replied to amberakamom's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I dont mean to sound preachy or anything but GB is a radical surgery. Rerouting your intestines is serious business, my rationale behind choosing the band is that if Im struck with an unforeseen illness or if something isnt working I can have it reversed and still have my organs intact...like the above poster said, please investigate his motivations, and then do what you feel is in your best interest -
ohhhh:thumbup:

I'm lost...please fill me in as to what NSV means?

feeling depressed seems to be the norm, I think its hormonal. Something about surgery throws things out of whack. You've already come a long way and its going to get better! Im already sick of the liquids and hungry:cursing: I've read that more protein wards off hunger so I'll give it a try today. You're not alone in this:smile2:
