Nov 2009 bandsters how are you doing?
skinnygirl posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Got an unfill on Friday and a fill on Tuesday. I'm back in the game feel pretty good restriction hope it last. I got me a new treadmill yesterday and I'm loving it. Hopefully I can lose some weight. I want out of the 250s, it seems like this weight lose is such a slow process. I have 3.7cc in my band cause 4cc was to much. Some days I feel like I'm doing great but other days I just get so depressed. I'm not losing one to two pounds a weeks like some people. HOw have some of you nov bandsters been doing? If you don't mind sharing how much weight have you lost just since surgery? Have you lost a pants size yet? I havent lost one yet. What is a day like for you meals maybe calorie intake, exersice. thanks guys. Its one of those days I need reasurance!!! -
Is it possible that I am still swollen???
skinnygirl replied to Phranp's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I would get a little taken out. I felt the same way and caused mine to swell to much had to get a fill AND 1/2 taken out cause i waited four weeks before deciding to go in. If i had of went in as soon as it started he would have taken out just a little. i just kept thinking it will get loose. -
Stree eating and the Band
skinnygirl replied to selswick's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
That is great you were banded a month before me and i've only lost 36 from the date i was banded. What is your secret . How many ccs do you have in your band?It says you have lost a total of 70 pounds so im assuming you lost some before being banded. How much have you actually lost since your banding date? -
I had a fill four weeks ago and I have vomited at least once each day on a good day bad day like today have all day even water. I have had a kidney stone so Havent really felt like eating much anyway. Kidney stones have always made me sick and I should have had an unfill when it started but I thought it wouold pass and the band would loosen up. Called dr made appointment for in the morning I'm going to tell him to take all out so my stomach has time to calm. I did loose a pound today but who wants to loose it that away?have had lots of protein shakes over those weeks. Has anyone experienced kidney stone with the band? If so did you have these problems?? My dr is not in the office tomorrow so I see his under study thats what the office assistant called him. Any support would be good.

I had 3cc I went to the dr this morning and he took out 1cc and 1/2. I go back in two weeks and he said he will put some in then if needed. I feel so much better already. I had lsot 6 pounds since my last visit 4 weeks ago. I will probably gain when I go back in 2 weeks though cause yesterday I couldn't even eat. So when I start to eat solids i will probably show on the scale hope not though. Elfe I was pbing I guess cause when I would eat it would slowly work its way back out with slim and food Water actually projected back out. Is that what you call that pbing. I'm having homemade potato soup for dinner and supper. Back to solids tomorrow.

I've stopped losing weight Any suggestions
skinnygirl replied to momamia's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am having the same problem have lost 30 and stopped. Your BMI is low so yes I think yours will slow down but my BMI is high and I have stopped losing too. If you figure out what the problem is let me know. I have good restriction If not to much at some times. I use the treadmill 7 days a week for an hour and half each night. I have 1000 -1200 calories a day. -
I think the band is working for me cause if I eat to much it comes back up. sometimes if I just takea bite it comes back up. What is the word for the chest pain and food coming back up. Is that a true stuck feeling. When I'm on my period that happens all week. Does anyone else have that problem? This time I got smart and stuck to mushies like potato soup. Finally today I got to eat real food. Its so sad my four year old said mom be carefull you might puck agian. I guess I was doing that more than I thought. Today I had a egg and cheese stick for breakfast. I still am not seeing a one or two pound loss a week like some say we should. I am eating 1000-1200 calories a day plus using the treadmill 7 days week for three 30 minute sessions a. day.which burns 600 calories day. I feel the weight should be coming off. In about two weeks I can join a gym can't wait. What exercises seem to help some of you? What foods have you guys been eating.

I had surgery on NOV 23 09. My start weight was 286 the day of surgery. Today I weigh 258 so that 28 pounds since surgery. I try to stay within the 1000-1200 calories per day. During my period I can not eat anything but liquid or it comes back up. Do you have that problem? I drink alot of protein shake during that time. I can tell I've lost tons of inches I need to measure agian, but haven't. I feel like the scales are so slow since I got the band. I havent worked out in a week because i've been trying to pass a kidney stone. I had parathyroid surgery two moths after I got my band. so I can only use the treadmill till the dr releases me. I usually use the treadmill for an hour and half each day which burnes 600. calories. I'm going to join the gym when the dr releases me and go 6 days a week. It sounds like your doing a great job. Have you found anything you can't eat. I can't eat bread. what do you eat at your meals.

2 Days out, can I be hungry already?
skinnygirl replied to chinchilla mom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I got my protein shake from walmart after spending a fortune on the unjury the dr recommended and it was gross. Anyway I freeze the choclate just till its frozen enough to eat like frosty and it taste just like wendys frosty. I also got the vanila and i freeze it. it is even good to drink it just keeps me full longer for some reason if I freeze it. I find that very weird, but it works. Are you aloud soups that are creaming as long as thin. I blended a lot of soups like potato soup etc. Hope this helped -
what to do w/ unflavored protein powder??
skinnygirl replied to arthukd's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
i got 4 differant kinds unijury and hated all no matter how I fixed it. I put it in the trash with I had of tired one before spending a fortune. I went to walmart got vanila and choclate and it was 14.00 each it is great. I like to freeze the chacolate it taste like wendys frosty. I mix it with skim milk. Wish I had of found these three months ago it would have really helped. I still have protein dink for breakfast cause i'm to tight in them ornings for any kind of food. Hope this helps -

I woke up and got on the scale cause i do this every morning to my supprise I lost two more pounds. I am out of the 260's and in the 250's. I also just booked a condo for me and my family at florida in july. My goal is to feel good enough to stroll up down the beach and play with the kids without getting out of breath or tired so quick. My goal is to be under 200 when we go. I have had a rough last month with my weight at a stand still, but thanks to all my bandster freinds support I have started to lose agian. The support from those you are in your shoes helps me so much. thanks to all and I wish you luck in the journey we are taking!:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: -

I would love to live in florida.we are going to panama city the west end. We rented a condo on the beach for nine nights. Thanks guys. I think I will be running just as fast as thwm this summer. -
So how did you guys feel after your 2nd fill. I am doing the 48 hour liquid/ mushy but shouldnt i still feel some kid restriction. I feel I can eat more than before. He put 1cc in a 10 cc band that equals 4cc. The dr had hard time finding the port this time wounder why? Is that a bad sign? I made some cheesy potato soup for dinnand it was so good. i put potatoes ragu cheese and sour cream onions salt pepper. I had on cup but I made it thin texture. Do you think that was to much? My doctor was very pleased with my weight loss he told me not to rush it. He said you will see inches at first more than pounds on the scale.

nI have no restriction and when I eat stuff keeps getting stuck what does that mean??Help! Then I have to drink so the food will come back up! Not sure what to do I go for a fill next week and really need it
-
I got so tired of exersicing and the scale not moving so I ate everything yesterday and drank my first diet coke. I started off good having two eggs for breakfast but then for lunch made homemade pizza. I had alot of it then made chezzy hashbrown cassrole for supper and had a whole plate of that. This morning for breakfast had half plate of the cassrole and one hotdog. I have decided to get over it and do better before I gain. I just needed to let it out that I screwed up. It just makes me made that I have done great and no weight loss. I have not ate that much since before the surgery.
-
Ok I did bad the rest of the day as well. I went to mcdonalds and had the big mac wrap which was 320 calories. omg! It tasted better than a big mac. But I did exersice longer today 200 extra calories.
-
I had my surgery on nov 23 and have 3cc in my bad. I had done great with my calories and exersice until last night. I don't even like coke, but for some reason I wanted one yesterday. I didn't drink it all at once a little hear and there but finished it within two hours. The pizza was very thin crust almost none with about 5 pepperonis. I had not had bread until last night and it went down fine. Had bout 5 pieces pizza. For supper I could not belive I ate the whole plate of cheezy cassrole. This morning the Hotdog and cassrole went down fine. About two weeks ago i got the stumack bug and had to Go to er so they could stop the vomiting, but I had already vomited for nine hours. they gave me three bags fluid. anyway I great restriction till bout two day after that. I will do better starting now.

I was eating the same amount of calories and have not lost a thing in four weeks. Finally uped my calories 1000-1300 and have lost a pound. I burn off 600 of those calories with the treadmill though. I am losing inches, guess cause muscle weighs more. Surely sometime soon the scale will move agian. Its been week since I lost this time. I am getting so discouraged! Hope it gets better for both of us.

Lap-Band AP - Large Band 14cc
skinnygirl replied to BearSpiritGuide's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I wanted that size band but my dr said my stomach was to small so I have the smaller one. You guys arfe lucky!!! -
my first fill was 3cc i had to eat liquids for 48 hours. I felt resriction for two 1/2 weeks then got the stomach flu had to go to hospital. when you have the band its hard for stuff to come back up when you get a bug. you have to go to ER to get meds to stop it. Anyway I think it stretched the band or something ever since i have no resriction. I go for next fill next week and i'm going to ask the dr about it. Just wanted to warn ya bout the bug. i went to the hospital where i got my band and they rushed me straight back and gave me something to stop the vomit. hope your restriction last, can't wait till i get mine next week. How many calories are you eating?

How many cc is your band?

Am I doing it right with foods ?
skinnygirl replied to Phantasmagoria's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was eating 700 calories and 60-70 protein and work out and my body went into starvation mode. I have since uped my calories to 1000-1200 AND HAVE LOST 2 POUNDS. everyone is different but I wish i had of raised my calories sooner so I could have lost more weight. Hope that helps -
