Banded in May....Not losing well.....meal ideas?
Madam Butterfly replied to Madam Butterfly's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
They let me have fills once a month. I had surgery in early May, then........Fills: I had my first one July 9th (1 cc), second one Aug 12th (1 cc), I will have another one Sept 9th. They had put in 1.5 cc during surgery, so my total is now 3.5 cc's after having my first 2 fills. Very discouraged right now, I have to tell you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They said next fill they will add 0.5--1cc..... so not sure how long before I reach a good restriction. -

Madam Butterfly posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
All who've lost so much weight since May, please please please help me. I have only lost a couple pounds since being banded in May. I don't know what I am doing wrong. I have 3.5 cc in band & go back in 2 wks for a fill. I seriously would like to know how much everyone is exercising or what you are all eating or whatever. I was so excited pre-op now I feel like this is just one more thing I have failed at. Please give me a run down of your daily intakes so I can compare. I expected to lose much more by now than the measely pounds I have lost. I WANT results like you all. Thank you. -
Also, I was told to try to take 30 min to eat your meal which should be no more than a cup in quantity. Wait 1 hour before drinking after each meal. Drink a sh*t load of h20 and do whatever exercise you can. Mind you I started at 344 and I still have about 88 more to go before I reach my goal. It's not always easy Butterfly but we all want the same results. I want to lose this weight once and for all, I want stop holding myself back in life because I'm "fat" I want to be healthy mentally and emotionally. I'm grateful for the results I've recieved but I'm struggling too! But, let's not give up!

I follow my doctor's orders to a T (99.5%) of the time.
I eat 3 small meals a day and I stick to mostly protien.
Protien being 1 piece of fish, chicken, 3.5 oz. of steak, boiled shrimp, salmon, or tilapia. I haven't had any bread, fried foods, sweets, crackers, popcorn, etc.
I don't snack in between meals and I follow the time constraints: wait 30min after drinking before eating, eat slowly and chew, chew, chew. I set the timmer for everything.
