i AM ALSO GIONG TO HAVE MY FIRST FILL ON 4-5 AND i HAVE NOT LOST AS MUCH AS aI thought I would. So weird. I am working oiut adn doing all the right things, but my weight is stalling. sounds like you did too...did you find any solutions to this issue?:thumbup: -
wow..I ws told not to expect weight loss for 2-3 weeks psot op. and you were told liquids for 4 weeks. Wow again. I had a gfraduated diet...liquids up til day 3, then full Fluid to day 10 then puree up to day 15 and then regular diet. interesting. maybe i need to go back to liquids??? Aqua fit is lots of fun and youi tone up rather than bulk up with weightlifting. what are you doing for excercse at this point?

I thought the surgeon was harsh also, but... the long and short is that I have returned to the gym, doing only aqua aerobics and I have lost 5 lbs since my visit with teh surgeon. I see that you havfe been on lap band for a while.;..may I ask how you have done. The good, bad and ugly of it please. Love to hear other people's experiences...

you are not the only one. my surgeon made me lose 40lbs pre-op and I had surgery on 3-5 and went for my first post-op visit. I have not lost any further weight yet, but n either did I gain. My doctor has ordered my back to pre-op diet again adn return to the gym.. I will get my first fill on 4-12. It is difficult. I ahve no famioly here to support me, but my mother and a couple of friends back ho9me are great to talk to, but it would be great to really see them adn for them tob e with me. Some of myh friends support my lap-band adn others are giving me the cold shoulder. This was the right choice for me, but I cannot believe how your friends can change when you share the chanmge you are making in your life and they are not even happy for you...wow...at least you have your husband etc...that is wonderful. best of luck and if you want to communicate, I invite you to do so. Take care1

this is fascinating. I saw my surgeon on 3-15-10 . He told me I will have my first fill on 4-12 and he told me to return to the gym immediately since I did not lose any weight post-op (I had surgery 3-5). So, I was upset, but my dietician told me not to expect weight losss for 2-3 weeks post-op since I had lost 46 lbs pre-op. Was this your experience also? I am upset that I di dnot lose weioght, but felt that the doctor was ratgher harsh. I would love3 to hear more about your experience please. Thasnk for answering back!

Health degenerating post lapband
dariasjourney replied to megan71's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sorry to hear about your problems. Perhaps you are hypothyroid and/or were never diagnoseed with same. I just had surgerya week ago, so I am a fresh post-op. I am only on full fluids still, but I am doing well. I have my moments when I would l;ove to be able to try to chew meat again, but I must be patient. A visit to your surgeon is in order, but first attrack the adrenal issue and anemia. If you can, return to the protein shakes and sugar free/fat free jellos and puddings and soups, V8 fruit and juice mixes (the light ones) and increase water again. Maybe this will work. I do hope that youfeel better and much success. -
