You're right. Just lost so fast the first 2 weeks and not much after that. Sometimes I've got to remind myself that this is for life and not a short term fix. Thanks and best of luck to you

POLL: Who's had restriction after 1st fill?
shortgal replied to MamaJava's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Once you get some restriction, it can disappear again. As you lose weight the band will get looser and you'll need another fill. I just had my third fill. First two did nothing. I am just starting soft food again after two days of liquids aftet the third fill, so I am just starting to see if I have any restriction with this fill. I know even if I do have some, it won't last. As I lose weight, I'll need another. I have been getting fills about every two weeks and I hope I can start stretching them out to every month. Until we get some restriction, we must really just diet like we used to and use some willpower. -

Menstrual Pain Or Lap Band Discomfort?
CHEZNOEL replied to KristineNote's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Definitely call the nearest Lap Band surgeon. But see a doctor soon. 8 lbs is a lot to lose in one week! -
Just wondering if any Australian people have recently submitted applications to APRA for release of super funds. I put my application in on 12 August and still haven't got a response. I have now started to phone every day. Had a small glitch this week with some wording but resubmitted the relevant letter yesterday and after speaking to them today it hasn't reached my file yet. Just wondering once APRA approve how quickly will they provide information to super fund for release of funds. My surgery is in 3 weeks (4 November) and I'm starting to stress that the money won't be through in time.:thumbup:

Newbie Adjusting To Post Sleeve Life
ConnCT replied to New_Me_915's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Wow- that sounds like an amazing 30 day accomplishment! I’m 4 days post surgery. My first two days were horrific. I was vomiting & a bit of blood came out- the nurses said normal to see? But the gas pain was wedged under my ribs- making it hard to breathe normally for 2 days. It was excruciating. The surgical team asked me to stay another night in the hospital so they could monitor me & continue iv fluids. The gas remains in my ribs slightly, more so now in my collarbone area. I thought that this surgery would be a breeze compared to two c- sections and I would be back to my dog walking normality within days. Sadly, the reality is that this surgery threw my body for a loop. Constantly sipping liquids has been my main focus since coming home yesterday. I will hope for excellent results at my 2 week post op check in with dietician & surgeon. Keep up the great work everyone! -
Buy the stool softeners! My first 2 poops were like granite. Worse than childbirth and I had big-headed babies! I'm at almost 6 weeks and I still rotate colace and milk of magnesia and sometimes glycerin suppositories.

I can say that tonight I ate two slices of pizza and a small scoop of ice cream and I only stopped because I knew I should, not because I was full. But last week, I couldn't even hold more than two bites of scrambled eggs down. I'm confused too - wish I had a good answer!!

Banded 33 Days Ago And In Pain Anyone Every Had The Same Pain?
LadyBC replied to tonyann's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Tonya I had the same thing but mine was in my left side under my ribs! My stomach was spasming and it was painful. It went on for about 2 weeks. Good luck -
1st week post op only lost 5 lbs is this normal?
mominkansas replied to carmelita's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
YOu have to know that you are puffy for at least a week from all the fluids they run through you during surgery. Keep on truckin and make sure to drink plenty of water! -
Pre-op diet consisted of sf jello and pudding, broths, yogurt, protein shakes and anything else liquid. Hospital stay 24 hrs after sugery and was allowed ice chips, and sf Popsicles. Once home I was allowed anything on my pre-op diet plus oatmeal and cream of wheat for 2 weeks. Then mushies for 2 weeks then solids. Yep, 1 month of modified diet before solids... Every doc is different. My doc deals only with lapband patients. I would email your doc to ask specifics for your lapband procedure since they have the info all lumped together.... Good luck

My surgeon required 2 weeks liquids then 2 weeks puréed.

Dietician instruction are just as different for maintaining as they are for weight loss phase. Glad you have a consult to dial your diet. My instructions. I was encourage to add low glycemic carbohydrates to slow/stop weight loss to maintain. Whole grains, Whole wheat pasta/breads, brown rice, sweet potato. ( nothing white or processed)(I don't tolerate brown rice well. I feel bloated and lethargic). She gave me a carb range to stay within. https://www.health.harvard.edu/healthbeat/a-good-guide-to-good-carbs-the-glycemic-index I have always spaced out my meals to four to six smaller meals a day. My restriction with the sleeve was noticeably less after a year. Maintaining in year four, I eat protein fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains, beans, dairy and low glycemic carbs. I still stay away from sugar and processed stuff. I indulge once in a while. My maintaining diet changes to three programs. I am female 5'5" and 130 pounds. Maintenance :1300 to 1600+ calories give or take. When I gain I am back to basics: 1000 to 1200 calories. I am carb sensitive I gain in a heartbeat. The weight comes off slowly. It's knowing your body physiology. Distance running: my calories and carb ratios increase to a range that I'm surprised I can get in. I got to goal doing elliptical and a bit of weight lifting. My goal was a 5K in memory of my mother. Checked that off my bucket list my first year. Each year I have increase distance. I used a sports medicine dietitian to learn how to fuel my body for long runs with a sleeved stomach. I'm curious to see what your maintaining plan looks like. If you don't mind, please post back and share it.

Dropped 5 Lbs Overnight! Thank You Lilmissdiva And Pdxman!
Ms skinniness posted a topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
OMG, I have dropped 5 lbs over night after a very long stall. Thank you LilMissDiva for sharing you basis bootcamp with all of us. It has really worked to trigger my body out of a stall. I have learned so much from your feedback on this site and it has helped me tremendously. Pdxman: thank you for all the feedback that you have also given. It helped me to see that that it is extremely important to mix things up so that our bodies don't get complacent (in which mine has). I now understand about calories and our BMR and am going to have mine tested just to see where my BMR sits and also kicking up the exercise. YAYYYYYYYYYYYY! Thanks to both of you! You guys have worked so hard to get where you are and are still here on this site to help us with our daily struggles, no matter how big or small they are! -

Maybe you started at a low bmi. If you werent that heavy its not gonna fly off. Im heavy and yes the first few weeks were glorious but now its 3-4 lbs a week and yes I will take it but Im still heavy it should come off quicker. I work out maybe twice a week. nothing crazy mainly cardio. Hope this helps. -
Unable to drink much liquid
mirech replied to KRL2006's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I experienced this with my last fill. The first two weeks I was able to eat liquids, but on the third week it just got worst. I had everything you described. It turned out that my band was too tight so they removed some cc's. I agree with you its not a good feeling. I did loose about 19 lbs. which I know its not healthy because I couldn't eat anything for a couple of days. Go to your doctor ASAP. Loosing that much weight is not worth risking your health. -
I felt mine was swollen too. It has gone down now, I am two weeks post op. My pants would bother it and put pressure, I just wanted to be in my jammies.

5-6 months in, long stall :(
mrsbailey921 replied to Megan Renee Behnke's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm in a stall... 2 months and counting. But I admit, my life is in compete and utter upheaval right now. I do not graze but I snack, and I don't get enough sleep, my insomnia is coming back, I've been fighting depression due to a devastating financial loss, and my family has been through so much this year... I know that my stall is due heavily to home issues, and so are my diet choices...I haven't emotionally eaten in YEARS and I caught myself doing it last week. Are you having any significant life problems that could be affecting you? -
Anyone else have shoulder pain?
Elizabethdb replied to susieca's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had severe shoulder pain until about 6 weeks out. I talked to my doctor a couple times about it. First he suggested going to the chiropractor maybe something was out. That did ease the severity of it but then I would have it REALLY bad after I ate or drank something. He then told me I was eating too much, so when I cut my portions down even more, that is when the pain finally went away.. Even now, I am 7 1/2 weeks out there will be times,not often, that I eat too much and the pain will come back. Anyway, just a little food for thought there. -
Still on stall... lost 3 lbs in 2 weeks. Program support team says "no snacking" it kills the program but Dr. says ok to have Protein shake or cheese stick, etc. twice a day to help get in protein since it's hard to down required cals, grams, etc with such small meals... Advice?

8 days post op, hungry, no weight off
CMPW replied to cantweight2go's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
though my experience was different, I lost 21 lbs within 1o days after surgery, but the nurse from my insurance company called to check up on me and said DO NOT WEIGH yourself. She said it can be discouraging because the scale may not move...she said this is due to swelling. Your abdomin swells, you have extra gas from the surgery, and you retain a lot of water. I was very surprised to see that I had lost 21 lbs. It has been about 2 weeks since that appointment and now I have only lost an additional 4 lbs -
