    I'm sorry I was trying to say I got my surgery done in Mexico and it's harder for me to follow up with a person... darn autocorrect on my phone woops...lol
  12. 2savemylife
    I know that most people are able to go movie nutritionist at their surgeon but I have my surgery & it's a little harder for me with the follow up so I can use your advice please what is your post op diet like a regular food do you count carbs and calories if so how many carbohydrates and how many calories do you allow yourself the day I've been eating Lean Cuisine meals but they seem to be low in calories and carbs but I'm eating them for the portion sizes because although I just got my first fill of 5CC in a 10 cc band I feel no restrictions. very concerned about my diet and weight loss so far because its been slow so I'm not sure I'm getting the right amount of carbs or calories and I'm hungry all the time.... thank you for your input

  14. 2savemylife
    thank you all for your advice I have my surgery done Mexico so following up on the nutritionist is a little hard to do but I will try my best so how many calories do you stay below do you count your carbohydrates and protein intake?
  15. 2savemylife
    just had my first fill 5 cc's any 10 CC band and there's no real difference in restriction I can still eat normally and I get hungry after just a little while is this normal? my understanding is 5 CC's in a 10 Cc band is a big first fill so I'm worried.... also I don't know what my restrictions are for eating how many calories I should have a day how much fat how many carbohydrates I just don't know any ideas? I am exercising but it's very hard to try and find extra time I'm working on that and I've been pretty good with my dad but I've only lost about 18 pounds since I was banded on July 25th.... my cell was just last week however so I was a little late getting that but I am a little scared because I don't notice much difference in restriction... I have a 10 Cc realize band and it has 5 CC's in it what is a normal green zone/ sweet spot fill? I'm just confused because I thought that the band would make it to where I was fuller sooner and fuller longer.... I'm nervous and could use your advice thanks for your help!

  24. 2savemylife
    ok so i am week 4 now and in bandster hell... so how far out was your 1st fill? What size band did you have ( mine is 10cc) and was it effective? did you feel restriction? also did you se floro? thanks yall
  25. 2savemylife
    pre op i lost 25 lbs on a low carb diet, but since my surgery which was 4 weeks ago I have only lost 11 lbs, and i am happy about that but i havent lost anything in about 2 weeks, so i was thinking about going low carb till my 1st fill in a few weeks... what did you do? I am not gaining but i am aloso not losing. thanks yall
  26. 2savemylife
    ok so i am in the middle of week 3 almost 4 weeks post op, now I havent lost weight in like almost 2 weeks, havent gained, but havent lost is this normal? I added mushies last week, but still I think I should be losing something right? Or am I just weird... I guess I feel like ok... I have the lap band now... its in there, so that means I lose weight now right/// funny way to feel i know because in my head I know I havent had a fill yet so it's not like that. I feel like maybe I am just like ok... I waited soo long to get this done ( 2yrs+) now shouldnt this be working... just a little bummed its not like I thought thats all. tell me it gets batter after a fill right?
  27. 2savemylife
    how hungry were you after swelling went down but before first fill? how much food did you eat at a time? any ideas for tricks not to eat too much? freaking out a little bit that I wont eat well prior to my 1st fill... not eatting things i shouldnt and I am not eatting too much by most standards but banded people are different.
  28. 2savemylife
    couple things. how long after surgery was it when you recieved your first fill? how many cc's was it in what size band? and was it effective / did you get restriction? also how much weight did you lose following your surgery? pre and post fill. was there a big change? I know this is alot of questions but , I really am interested in finding out. I have not recieved a fill yet, in fact I was just banded 7/25 and so I am not able to get my 1st fill till I am 6 weeks post op. Now I have only lost 10lbs since my surgery... ang dont know if this is common? or how much I should expect this could change post fill. thanks for your input yall
