Well I am doing ok, I have lost 5 more pounds. Went in for a fill, I am at 4cc in my band. It seems as if since the last fill I have been eating more than ususal. This sounds very wrong. It is my intention to up the exercise to everyday instead of 3x a week. I really thought this would go a lot faster. The doc says I am doing good, 1 to 2 pounds a week is what is to be expected. My question is how are others losing so fast. I got depressed and ate a few things I was not suppose to on yesterday but I thought about it after the fact that I can't do that again.

Wow, hoe have you lost so much weight. My surgery was on Aug 13 and I am only at 20 pounds.
-
Hello there, I have been really busy, but I go to the doctor today @ 2 and I hope I am still down the amount of pounds I lost. Will post later.

I was banded on August 13th and have also lost 20. This week I go back to the doc and maybe will get my second fill. It has been a roller coaster for me since I gained 5 pounds in the mushie stage. Try to hold for a couple more days to see if it will change. It has been said that it may take sometimes a week to know what will work. You are doing great, it doesn't matter who knows that you had the surgery. In my case I haven't told anyone at work but they are noticing the weightloss. I did this for myself and that is all that matters for you also. We can't worry what someone else will think.

Taking fill out to check amount no longer ecommended.
stajin22 replied to elcee's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I had never heard of this but it makes sense. When I return to my doc will ask. This month will be my second fill but have not had any problems. I am hoping that the weightloss will speed up a little but who knows what will happen. -
August 2009 BANDits Status Report 9/28/2009
stajin22 replied to sandiegokate's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hello August Bandits, I had my first fill on September 15 and it has been a long process. When I went back tot he doctor I had gained 5 pounds this devasated me. The weightloss has been slow and it seems that everyone has lost more than I have. While I can't complain about the 16 pounds I have lost. I just wish it was coming off faster. In looking at my stats I still have about 60 more pounds to drop. When looking at the boards it gives me hope for the future wieghtloss. I must pick up my exercise regimen to catch you guys. At the beining of my journey I weighed 234 and now currently at 218. Can't wait to be in onederland. -
Hello, You have been added to my friends list. It is worrying me that the weight loss has slowed to a crawl. I am going to the support meeting tonight to see what others are doing.I am still able to eat with a fill also but stop myself. Will let you know what I find out in the meeting tonight.

Hello there,
I am so frustrated with my self. It seems as if my weightloss has disappeared. I am down 9lbs instead of 17. I started walking on the treadmill and I am only eating 2 ouncezes of whatever I eat. Can't figure out what is happening. Just need a little encouragement right now.
-
I had my surgery on Aug 13 by the time I went back to the doctor I was down 17 pounds. On my next visit I had lost none. The nurse said I gained 5 pounds but I know what I saw on the scale when she weighed me. I was at 224 the first visit and the next visit I saw 225. This has devastated me. I try to walk at least three times a week but I don't know what to do now. I am not hungry and I only eat about 2 ounces per meal. My band has 3 1/2 cc in a 10 cc band. Any recommendations would be appreciated. I do not drink a protein drink every day but have started to in the last couple of days to use as a meal replacement. I am so frustrated looking at all the post and the amount of weight being reported. What do I do to get back on the path of losing weight. This started when I got into the mushie stage.
-
Hey there, glad to hear things are going well for you. Guess we are running neck and neck, I am down 17 pounds and seems like I have stopped. Well I hope to be talking to you soon. I have to remind myself to drink so don't feel bad.

9/2/2009 Status Report for August Bandits!
stajin22 replied to sandiegokate's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I was banded on Aug 13 and doing really well. The port pain is bothersome but is getting better. I have lost a total of 17 pounds and seems as if I am holding. I go to the doctor for my second post appointment on September 15. Not sure if I am doing the right thing but I break my meals up to four times a day. Each meal consist of only 2 or less ounces of mushie. I am so sick of mashed potatoes and soft stuff. During the week I try to walk at least a mile each day but I think I am going to try and up it this week. My face has really slimed down and I can tell the difference in my clothes. I was hoping to lose more but I am happy for the pounds I have lost. The port pain has kept me from walking as much. It is also hard to get all of the fluids in a days time, since back at work because I am constantly moving around. I guess I will have to wait and see what the doctor says when I go back. I am definately happy with the current weight lose. -
Hello there,
How are things going for you. I am 17 pounds down and having some side pain but I guess it is my bodies way of getting use to this foreign object. Also keep drinking this is something that I have to remind myself to do all the time. Try and walk as much as you can but don't over do it. This week has allowed me to start walking 2 miles during the day. Hope things are going well.
-
This has helped, I am on the mushie stage but I worry about the carbs that I am eating right now. As of yesterday I am trying to walk 2 miles a day. Since I work at a school what I do is walk around the gym until I have reached my 2 miles. The pain is subsiding some I guess my body is trying to get use tot he foreign object in there. It is hard for me to get over 48 ounces of water because I am trying to make a habit of not drinking while eating. So I guess it will be trial and era. How are you feeling so far.

no food since august 4th-not losing!!!
stajin22 replied to lisa6's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was banded on Aug 13 and this is the same thing that is happening to me. It has worried me because I thought the scale should have moved by now. I weighed in pre-op and the day of surgery lost 14 pounds. The scale has not gone up but it sure hasn't moved either. -
Hey there,
What stage are you in on eating. I was banded on Aug 13 and have only lost 14 pounds and that is up unitl my post op appointment. Any kind of advice would be nice right now. I have been on these boards likie crazy but have been having port pain that has been keeping me from doing a lot of walking. Am I doing something wrong.
-
I felt this way for almost two weeks but it is slowly going away. I am not sure what it is but it is a pain in the butt. I hope that you feel better soon. Let us know what the doc says.

Stitches or Glued???
stajin22 replied to GraciesMom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My incisions where als glued. I had never seen this done before. I am feeling a lot better than I was a couple of days ago. Although I feel better I am having some problems with my throat. If I lay on my side and raise up it feels like something strange. It may be associated with the hernia repair. -
Hey, I was wondering where everyone was going to the gym. I think I need to go to the support group this month. I was banded Aug 13 and down 14 pounds.
-
Guys it has been a very interesting trip. The doctor repaired a hernia in which I did not know was there. I am moving around really good. The surgery was around 12:30 and I was home around 4ish. I am trying to get used to get all my drink in and found what it feels like to have to much. Overall I am doing good

stajin22 replied to MNTwinmom's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I had my surgery done on Aug 13 and I am still having some pain where the port is. I was told he fund a hernia and repaired it. This has me thinking what have I done. i thought it woud be really simple. the port area is the only area that has pain. What can I do? The gas pain is subsiding but the port pain hasn't. -
I made it thru and happy
stajin22 replied to lingra's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was also banded on yesterday. The procedure went well except he found a hernia and repaired it. I am more sore where the port is than anything else. When I got home I was a little sleepy but all is good. The two days I was on liquids lost 7 pounds. -
I understand just what you are going through, we are both in the same boat. First drink your soup and then some jello. Drink, drink and more drink, oh lets not forget to pray.

OK, Who has an AUGUST surgery date??!!
stajin22 replied to Jodi73's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
No, I figured that by having it on thursday I will be able to go back Monday or Tuesday. I do a lot of walking so I figured I would take Mon & Tues. I am so excited and scared.
