I've lost 50 lbs and a bad attitude, haha
-
haha, I know...I know... I was with a friend that wanted to go through McDonalds drive thru, so while he was scarfing down his meal he offered me a nugget. I tried a bite of one....and let me tell you...what a mistake that was! felt like a golf ball in my throat and hurt bad! I think everyone tests the waters at somepoint, and that was my first "what did I just do" moment.
-
Sounds a bit extreme, but everyones different. Don't try to eat a McDonalds chicken nugget less than 3 weeks post op!!! That was my first stuck expirence!.

Had my second fill (.5cc) on Monday and can't tell a difference. I've got 5.5 cc now in my band
-
Semper FI !

I had my first fill (5cc) a few days ago and felt the restriction right away. After a few days now it's not as bad but definetly better than the standard 2.5 cc I had in there from Surgery. 7.5 cc is working for me pretty good right now. I noticed my hunger subsiding thankfully. Have you been drinking lots of Water? Did they tell you how many cc's were in the band before you got your fill?

I just had my first fill a few days ago on Monday. I was on liquids the rest of the day and the following day. Now I'm back to normal food, but eating cautiously. I had 5 cc put in my realize band can really feel the difference!

Good luck with your 1st Fill! I had my first fill (5cc's) a few hours ago!!!

Hi Jes, I'm also in Washington State. Had my surgery 3 weeks ago by Jeffery Hunting in Federal Way. Congrats on the weight loss!! -
Congrats, I'm hoping for the same results with less fills! My first fill is a week away! FYI, your font is hard to read, you may want to consider changing it

Weird Comment by fellow Bandster
ebusa replied to hopetolose's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I got the same comment from a nurse on my surgery day! I got my gown on and laid up on the bed and while she was asking me my birth day and other questions she says..."Your not even big enough for this surgery" I was like um well I have high blood pressure, cholestrol, sleep apnea, etc... I generally hold my wieght well...and maybe it was because i'm a guy? who knows... -
Do I have any restriction? No fills yet?
ebusa replied to jamiesdoingit's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am also noticing I can eat more the last few days and get hungry quicker.. I have my first fill coming up on the June 6th. I guess this will be my bandster hell for the next few weeks. -
Congrats! There is nothing like those "thin" feels and the compliments always feels good!

I'm Post Op on Day 12 and have something similar. It's where my port is on my stomach on left side.. Kinda hard and does cause a little bit of pain from time to time. It's harder in the morning like my band is tighter. I think I'm just not completly healed and may still be swolen. When I'm full it's also harder. I just had my followup appointment with my surgeon last Friday and everything looks okay.

I'm on day 10 post op and wonder how long it took before any of you could eat a 6 inch sub? a few months?

HELP dont want to make a mistake
ebusa replied to Rosalinam.'s topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You should be fine eating creamy Soups. I had my surgery on the 11th, and have had soups that last few days. I even ate a small chili from Wendys the other day doh! Just eat slow. -
Semper Fi! Keep up the good work on the pre-diet! I just had my surgery a few days ago on the 11th an am doing well. Your surgery will be here before you know it!
-
Well...I was banded yesterday and am ready for my new journey! My stomach is still VERY VERY sore, but I don't feel any gas pains that I thought I'd have. Maybe this comes later?

Protein Shake - Which supplement has the most Protein?
ebusa posted a topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hi, I'm having my surgery tomorrow! I want to ensure I get the most Protein I can once off the Clear liquids. Is there a specific brand, protein supplement that offers the highests amount of protein? I keep reading that this is so important so I want to try and get the supplement that has the most protein available. Thanks Evan -
Protein Shake - Which supplement has the most Protein?
ebusa replied to ebusa's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Thanks Rachel! I ended up getting some Whey Protein Isolate "chocolate" flavor at costco today. 20g per servering so if I make a shake with 2 scoops I should be good to go. Now I just need to get some Gas X chewables tonight so I'll have what I need after surgery tomorrow -
Hi all! Tomorrow is the day! I've lost 18 lbs on my 2 week pre-op diet, hope that 's enough to shrink my liver? guess we'll find out... Lots of emotions running through me today while I'm at work. Looking forward to a new start! Thanks for all the support from everyone on the pre-op diet! I'll post back soon as I can after the surgery.
