Unsolicited advice...Errr!
dariasjourney replied to ete77's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
initiallyh my pcp id not agree with WLS, but after time and seeing that I was getting nowhere with diet alone, he caved and also saw pst-op my strides and he is so happy and h has actually changed his mind about lap band surgery, but not the bypass... I also told prople that saaw the weight loss as HIGH Protein LOW CARB DIET and EXCERSICE...nobody bugged me after that -

dariasjourney replied to ete77's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Hi I am ayear + post-op and doing well...I still feel your pain and still get stupid comments such as the ones you described...and envisioning wearing small sizes does not work...surgery does. When a work, I did not disclise my surgery to anyone and i THINK THAT it is propab;y the best way to handle. I donot freely divulg my little secret, but that is because I caught so much crap from people that said that I wqould be foolish to have surgery..do weight watvchers etc repeatidly...sometimes it is better not to dicuss these issues nless you really know the other person well and they are non-judgmenta, and undersatnd weight issues... -
cooking already! makng beef and garley/veggies soup from scratch...bones are boiling already.l...

I get what you are saying and am right in line with you on all your points. I get it. How are you doing now? -

:smile::cool2::smile::thumbup:I totally understand what you are saying. I still, 7 months later, have still not told co-workers and other people, that I did the surgery. It is not embarassment, but so many people have had negative comments about WLS. I am succeeding, but my boss has failed. I do not want to be linked to her failure, ergo, I do not tell people about my surgery. Smart or not, I do not want to be lumped into a failure category, when clearly I am not 97 lbs to date...still going strong too. It is like arebirth, without a doubt...how are you doing? -

how are you doing with your wiehgt loss? I have lost 82 since Jan 2010...plateauing right now, but, this will pass... -
water is good and crystal light also helps if you are tired of palin water... i am losing more weight now after plateauing for a few weeks. i really think that it depends also on how much excersie and stress you are under... i am going to tell you that incorporating more veggies does hlep too...

probably reflux......try some prisolec OTC for a week and see if the cough stops...I am sure it will

Memorial day...to date I have lost 74 lbs. Life is getting better by the day. Can't ask for better than that. Weight loss is slower powst-op than I thoguht, but the weight did not come on overnight, so what can I expect? I am working out 3 days per week, mostly water aerobics. Only 3 times that I have had food stuck and it made me sick, so now I am being extra careful. I want to succeed and have no isses. I want to be at goal I by Christmas. I have redone my wardrobe already once, and getting ready to do it again within the next month.

really worried....
dariasjourney replied to getting _slimN2010's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
just in my opinion qand experience, the band is tight rfeeling for a few days, then relaxes. the you will have your first post-op appt then perhaps you will get your first fill. my surgeon filled 2cc agtsurgery date then i have had 1.5 the nextto appts, hving good restrictin for the first week or so, then relaxing quite a bit after. i go once a month for a fill to a max of 14cc if I need. just carefull what you eat; my first experince of vomiting by eating food that was too dry to digest appenne 2 eek post op, then again a week ago before i had my secondfill again because of chicken bing to dry and not able to digest. i do better to mix mat and veggies on the same fork for lubricatin to get it down. i think you will be fine. jsut need a fill, it sounds like. cheer up! -

dariasjourney replied to harliquinn's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
this is great to know. I was rather worried about it, but this is putting me to rest. I don't know about you, but my weight lost post surgery is slow. My Dr made me lose 40 lbs prior to surgery, and I actually lot 44 prior, but on ly 12 since surgery on 3-5. Has this also been your experience?
