How long is this going to last??? UGH! 7 months out. 89 down. Maybe I'm done. I've got 25-30 to go. Just really started exercising 2 weeks ago so maybe body has to recalabrate itself? Doing everything right. Same 2 friggin numbers back & forth. Sorry guys - just venting....anyone else experience this at about the 7 month mark?

I have not used Dr Aguila....I had surgery in Dalton, GA as I lived up that way when I had surgery by Dr. Ponce (he's wonderful) and now I follow up with Dr Grossbard in Zephyrhills....he's great too! :tsk: My only liquid fast was one day before surgery...then for 3 weeks after. I did not have true stomach hunger too often. You will feel somewhat deprived in the liquid phase and it really is mental!!! You will be "full" MUCH faster with less food/liquid. I eat about 1/2 cup of food per meal. It is MORE than enough most meals. If I am still hungry then I will eat another bite or so....but that's all and most of the time I don't have to have the extra bite...it's my head and I have to make sure....so instead of asking myself if I am full....I ask "Am I still hungry?" This was a whole new way of thinking for me personally. Big meals become a time of socializing and not about the food...I eat less and talk more!! Lookout family!!!

I blend whatever fruits or veggies I desire. For instance I will blend strawberries or raspberries into my dinner Protein shake. I will cook my veggies down and blend into a high protein chicken Soup (homemade). If I want veggies with my chicken or fish I will eat 2oz of chicken or fish and 1 oz of a veggie. But 3oz if I'm omitting the veggie. Just learned to make this modification this week. I was sleeved June 28 and down 32 but total of 49 since pre-op diet.

I really don't like most protein shakes. After my surgery, my taste buds changed. The only protein drink I like is, gatorade recover3 orange/tropical. I haven't found a powder I like yet. And I goofed, I had surgery April 9th, not may 9th. I lost 61 lbs, then this week I have gained 2 lbs! I am walking everyday, probably more than I every have. What is up with that?

Help feelings of regret
Support Sisters replied to marroyo's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved same week as you... What is your progress? Doesn't that give you a sense of accomplishment? Feeling good helps feel good about your decision. Last night I went to a fantastic steakhouse and I could only eat a small amount - i wanted to eat more so at that moment i had some regret but then i saw myself in the mirrors in the bathroom and regret gone! -
Weight loss during pre-op diet
faroutman replied to EzekielsMommy's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm on the liquid diet for 14 days. I am actually going 18 days. I had my mind set to start on a certain day before I got my surgery day, and my surgery day was 18 days from the day I wanted to start. I should have known better. But I'm in it now and there is no turning back. This is day 8 and I'm feeling better with the 14 pounds I've lost already. I'm shooting for 25. I'm not gellin' on the 2 weeks after surgery. A brother wants something solid. -

Six weeks post-op sleeve surgery tomorrow and I've had a very rough road. Today, we finally got news as to what my problem is. My gallbladder is functioning at 0%. I will have surgery some time this week. I'm so looking forward to getting this chapter behind me and seeing what a "normal" sleeve life is.

Today I Start 2 Week Pre-op Gastric Sleeve Surgery Diet
Kristin replied to mouse trap's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My 1st week of pre-op consisted of 3oz lean meat and 1/2 cup veggie and that is all besides 2 protein shakes and water for the rest of the day. I don't think it will kill you to have a little yogurt, the doctor just watch the amount of carbs...the high protein diet is used to shrink your liver for surgery, making it easier for the doctor to perform the surgery. As my dietician stated, "the pre-op diet is not just to torture us". LOL Good Luck with everything! -
16 days to my operation
♥LovetheNewMe♥ replied to sarcasticandsmart's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Sarcaticandsmart, Congratulations on your decision to have Lap-band surgery. I was banded on October the 27. My suggestions for the next 16 days is to follow your doctors orders on the pre-diet. It gives you a nice jump start on your weight loss and prepares you for learning portion control. During my two weeks before surgery I was both excited and nervous. I had never had surgery before and must admit I was scared. I have a long way to go but am so excited to get started, I am tolerating liquids well and still struggle with my protein shakes because I am not a sweet drink person. I strongly suggest you take these next 16 days and find a protein drink you like because taking in your protein is very important to your weight loss and health. I found some unflavored, no odor powder I like that I can mix in just about anything I drink and it does not change the consistency or flavor. Good luck on your journey. Wish I had made my sooner.:hi: Diane -
Two week full liquid before sleeve diet motivation
Kfohiotime4change posted a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I'm only four days in to two weeks of full liquids prior to June 8 sleeve date and met with surgeon Thursday for prevealuation, approvals, anesthesiologist etc., and I already lost five pounds! Everything's a go and for those of you who are struggling with 'time' waiting, uncertainty, self doubt...hang in there. I've been second guessing myself for months and now it's ten days away. Sure it's hard giving up food emotionally but to gain my health, comfort, confidence and energy will be worth it! I'm so used to not losing weight in the past (or gaining) I was elated to see a few pounds gone in a couple days. Commit, dedicate and be confident. It IS possible ???? -
So sad your feeling rotten! There was a nasty flu going through California last month, it seemed to hit everyone, started in the throat... sometimes went into the lungs and even the tummy for some. I had it for 3 weeks before I felt better. Luckily, the tummy was spared. Happy birthday, how you feel better soon...

I am now officially overweight and not obese.
Shamrockgirl60 replied to lellow's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hey congratulations. I have a point or so to go before I am "overweight" and not obese. I feel great. Had a fill yesterday and the nurse is so very pleased with how I am doing. I did not lose as much as I wanted last month but she said the loss can slow down a bit after a few months. She wants a 1-2 lb. loss per week. That's fine with me. Funny I notice that people look at me now...and I get much faster help in the stores. LOLLOLLOL I am not ignored any more. -
Wondering if Idont get enough sleep if thats what is causing my stalls? I sleep maybe 4to5 hours a night. Sometimes less.

Hiya, I haven't been banded yet (scheduled for NYEve) but when I went for my preop visit with Dr Marsden he said some of his patients pour their diet soda over ice and let it sit for a couple of minutes. He said he doesn't have a problem with this of course no drinking through straws. He also suggested a glass of wine a week actually helps with weight loss. He didn't say become a whino LOL!! but he did say that is something he has learned along the way. He has done thousands of LapBands and I have yet to find someone who found any disappointment with him. but he did mention something interesting maybe you guys can help out....He said alot of his patients have a problem digesting lettuce. Other leafy greens are okay but lettuce gives them a problem. any opinions? I love reading these forums, I have learned so much. But sometimes things have to be taken with a grain of salt. Where my Dr says those things are okay, another Dr may disagree altogether. Anywho, that's my 2cents Cheryl -

klutzyazhel replied to shellyphaunts's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Ok, after 6 weeks, 1 a day is ok! When I went to the seminar, the Doctor giving the speech, had, had the lap-band, and was drinking a diet coke! I am a diet mountain dew drinker, however, I have cut myself down to 1 or less a day already..But I will at least try one after 6 weeks just to see if/how it affects me...Not sure why some Doctors say it's ok and some say it's not... -
I had one last week and they dropped it off at 7pm and picked it around 7am would have come earlier but I didn't have to work. They even caked me with my results and report after 3 days. My mom had her done by a different doctor. She picked hers up and then dropped it off the next day. It is very easy they show you and give you written instructions. I had a pulse oxygen reading on right hand finger. Nasal sensor (looks like I was getting oxygen) and a band with a monitor around my chest.

I'm 38 days post-op sleeve and for about a week, no loss. Dr said this normal until my body adjusts from the rapid loss. Anyone else going through it?

Just got home from my second endoscopy. (stricture)
pik posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I went up to the surgeons office yesterday because in my opinion, they were taking too long to get me in, and I was pretty upset. For a week they had been telling me they were doing it, they were doing it. The dr came out and talked to me and he got me in this morning. My stricture was back down to just one millimeter above what it was when they did it last time. He dilated it 5 mm just like he did last time and I am set to go back in 2 weeks to have it done again. Right now I am just very sleepy feeling and I will probably conk out here in a few minutes. -
Just got home from my second endoscopy. (stricture)
pik replied to pik's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have a lot of other health issues and I think the first dr was going for the band because it is something that could be reversed if need be. He does all of the surgeries. I somehow seemed to get him on call when I ended up back in the hospital a couple of times. He did a friend of mines sleeve and her husbands bypass and they have done fine. My dr just kept telling me to have patience because he felt like my hernia repair was a little tight and needed time to loosen but I felt like it must be a stricture. I even told him a couple of weeks ago things were tightening up again and he kind of acted like that couldn't be the case. I am so thankful for the first dr. He is the only one that is listening to me these days! He is being pro-active at this point and even admitting that none of them appreciated the fact that it could have been a stricture so early in the game. You know I lost some weight prior to the surgery and the rest after. I also had a 3 week stall. -
