Help... I was banded in June 2010 and down 60 lbs, but I haven't lost anything for atleast 4 months. I am tight enough, but the weight is not coming off. Can you guys give me some ideas of your meal plans. How much you eat, calories per day etc.. Thank you so much!!

Question about reaching that ever elusive "Sweet Spot"
CareBear09 replied to OneYearLater's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes, I just joined the YMCA about 2 weeks ago and go every other day. You are right it has helped alot. I wasn't ready for excerise until some of the weight came off. Now I am up to 2 miles on the treadmill Thanks!! -
Question about reaching that ever elusive "Sweet Spot"
CareBear09 replied to OneYearLater's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm having the same problem and feeling the same way as you. I was banded in June and have lost 44 lbs, but in the last 2 months I lose and gain the same 2-3 lbs. I keep a journal and follow weight watcher points. I've had 4 adjustments, but don't think I have my sweet spot yet. It's frustrating because I am trying real hard, not to say I haven't cheated, but it wasn't like I over induldged.... -
What if i never what up?

I completely understand your concern. I think we all have the fear of going under. Just make sure you talk with medical staff about them. You will be in good hands, remember your at a hospital and they are they to help you in any way. Good luck, it will be fine!! -
How much weight have you lost?
CareBear09 replied to babyk's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
What was the date of your surgery? June 10, 2010 How healthy did you/do you eat? Ate alot of fast food, now I am on track to eating healthier How much do you exercise? Walk 3 times a week, sometimes more... How much have you lost? 35 lbs (includes 2 week liquid diet before surgery) Are you happy with your results? Yes, but I am doing this on my own, no restriction yet. Have had 1 fill. :tt2: Cari -

Could it be a hernia? -
I am so frustrated!
CareBear09 replied to momof4busyboys's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Same thing is happening to me. I was banded June 10. First week I gained 4 lbs and was only on liquids. But since then I lost 10 lbs. But NOW I am on mushies and staying under 900-1000 calories and have gained some. My first fill is on July 14. My doc office said this is all normal and don't be concerned if I don't lose anything until my first fill. It is frustrating, but hoping this all changes after my fill. I feel no restriction, but I am stopping and only eating what I am suppose to be eating, but at the same time I want to see results..... -
Hi Carly...Remember chatting with me a week or so ago? I am now 10 days post op and doing well. I didn't lose anything the first week, probable due to swelling and healing. But now I am down 8 lbs since surgery. When are you getting banded?
-
I am 6 days post op and haven't lost or gained any weight. Not too concerned, just curious. I lost 14 lbs before my surgery and thought being on liquids (1000 calories a day) I would lose something?!?! Is this normal?
-
I got on the scale today after 6 days post op. Haven't lost or gained any weight. Is this normal not to lose. I am only on liquids. Had lost 14 lbs prior to my surgery. Not too concerned, just curious if this is normal. Thanks
