I too was a smoker prior to having surgery. I am 45 and started smoking at 16. I have not smoked the entire time, there were spans of several years of not smoking and then a traumatic event would occur and smoking, along with food, would become my crutch to make it through the trying times. I quit smoking Sept. 1st and was sleeved 10/23/13 and have not missed the cigarettes that much. When I do, I remind myself that I underwent WLS to better my health and why would I want to sabotage that by putting tobacco back into my system. Good luck in your weight loss journey, whatever your decision, but please try to remain nicotine free.

I am looking for a buddy
duckydoom replied to tammyqp16's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Definitely track on myfitnesspal - you can set custom amounts for macronutrients, so if you start to go over the amount of carbs it will let you know. When I go low carb, I follow the ketogenic protocol which is basically phase 1 of Atkins. 20g or less of carbs, moderate Protein, and high healthy fats. It cuts out all fo the breads, rice, Pasta and starches, unfortunately. HOWEVER - I found a good high protein low net carb pasta from IsoPasta. It's pretty good, and has less carbs than the Barilla high protein pastas. What I usually eat: Breakfast - 2 eggs, 4 pieces bacon, 1 cup coffee with 1 tbsp heavy whipping cream lunch - salad with mozzarella, lean turkey or chicken and a low carb dressing, or sliced mozz, avocado, olive oil, salt pepper and vinegar. dinner - meat and veggies. This can be salmon, steak, ground beef, chicken, whatever, and usually asparagus or broccoli. My Snacks are 1/2 cup full fat cottage cheese with some walnuts and rosemary infused olive oil mixed in. All of that is roughly 1300 -1500 calories for me, and I weigh everything out. When I stick to it, I lose all of my excess Water weight SUPER fast. The fats keep me really satiated and I have ridiculous energy. Last time I did it I lost 10 lbs in a week and was bouncing off of the walls. My irritable bowel symptoms all but disappear, I'm not gassy, or crampy, but I do spot. As a disclaimer, I usually stall right at the 230 mark though, so that's why I'm still pursuing surgery. The sleeve is also going to be a great tool in helping me to avoid all of those starches, pastas, and carbs in favor of healthier foods. It's going to be a great extra boost for me. -
My pre-op will is strong
anotherteacher replied to bigbirney's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have to say my pre-op will is strong also. Yes, the first 3 days were hard on many levels, but on the forth day things have gotten much easier. I am sooo ready for my surgery (3-10) that I look at this time as being a good prep for discipline and enjoying the 1 meal I get a day (5oz protein and 2 c nonstarch vegetable). I have learned to savior each bite and enjoy the texture, feel and taste. Before, the satisfaction came from the look of a full plate, and the comfort I received from eating it all. I too have not cheated since beginning my preop diet, I have worked too hard for this opportunity! -

tammyqp16 replied to tammyqp16's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi there. So you still have to get 14#'s off. I have a problem eating every meal and the Snacks. I tend to forget about eating and then it gets later and later. And I keep forgetting to log my meals. I have 10 pounds to loose and I go up and down with my weight. I walk just about 6 to 7 days a week. I do not understand why the weight won't come off.

Anyone have a food you sleeve didn't like???
buchannon replied to Becca's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've been noticing this as well. It feels like I'm not eating that slowly most of the time, but compared to how I ate pre-op and compared to others around me, I consume at an extremely slow rate now. I kinda like it, it makes the meals last longer and it's relaxing compared to woofing down gargantuan sized meals in 10 minutes. -
Sharing our pre-band experiences and emotions
lisah25 replied to Koala's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Very nicely written post. I can relate to so much of what you said. My husband was banded two years ago, he too chose it as self-pay rather then do the bypass our insurance would cover. I was terrified. I worried about him surviving the operation. I worried about him not losing weight and getting very depressed because he saw this as his last chance. I worried that he would lose weight and find someone prettier. Did I mention that I worried?! Well, he survived. He's healthier now then he's been in years. He's lost about 90 pounds, he's kind of taking his time with it. He looks good. I started to wonder if maybe there was something to this banding. So, I did more research. Ran some numbers, since I'm self-pay also. Made an appointment with his surgeon and said "OK, now I really have some questions". Got it all set up, got my date. Was told to lose 10-15 pounds and promptly gained 7! So now, I'm kind of in limbo. I had to wait until the end of August because of work deadlines. Giving me lots of time to think about how much this is going to cost, how much more in debt we will be. About how it will feel to have a device in me that has a say in what and how much I eat. How I'll feel if I can't, for whatever reason I think there might be, lose weight with this. I have a tendency to think things to death and over-analyze. To question my decisions. But I do feel this is a good choice for me. I've struggled with my weight since high school. I'll lose some, then slip up and gain it all back. I'm quite frankly tired of it. Of working so hard with nothing to show. I do realize that there is work ahead of me, but I feel like I'll have my little buddy to help. Hum, I think I need to come up with a name for my band... I agree, this is a journey and will be interesting. I have my op-day outfit picked out (A muu-muu from a recent trip to Hawaii), my shopping list written and my time of from work all figured out. Yay for us! -
My Nightmare at the ER in Atlanta, GA.
Iulizbug replied to Iluvmyboys's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I completely agree that the ppl in the ER need to be better able to handle lapband patients. I had a similar experience about two months where my band completely closed up for two days and I wasn't able to hold down my spit or drink Water so I went to the ER. Same experience--nobody knew what the heck I was talking about in the ER, one lady thought I needed my tonsils out when I told her I coudln't get down water! Ha! My only relief was that my doc was in surgery so she was able to come down in between operations and do a fluro and remove all of my saline to provide relief. I wish there was a way we could learn how to do fills--it seems so easy to me.... I don't understand why it can't be taught to more trained people? ~Liz~ 03/10/06 241/161/160 5'7'' -
I am totally dreaming of the day I get there. I haven’t been a size ten since I was in the sixth grade. I remember going to camp as a size 12 and coming back from camp at a size 10.

Looking for a good tip for the first two weeks post-op
blkgolf23 replied to sunnysandy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I got banded Monday 8/9/10 & today was my first day on the protein drinks. I had 2 today with a lot of water and took a nice walk. I'm so looking toward week 2 when I can have other items. -
How do you know if your band has a leak?
Sheer replied to shibalover's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had a leak in my balloon. I was going and going for refills and not feeling any restriction. Then I finally mentioned that I could eat a 6 inch Subway and my Dr took me serious. He filled me to a 10 (I have a 14 cc band) and by the time they did the test with the dye it was all gone. So mine was big. If you feel like you have one, tell your Dr. you want the florioskpy (?) test. That way they can also see where it is leaking from. The port, band, etc. I have many friends who have had this done and none of them needed to keep getting fills. I had to have my surgery redone. Good luck. -
Sorry guys for the incorrect link to my "blogspot" blog. The real link for it is below. Thanks to BG. Please forgive me I'm as technically challenged as a 2 year old sometimes. :rolleyes2: I am scheduled for my first fill tomorrow at 10:30am. I will be blogging to tell all about it as soon as I get home... so look for me (and please follow. And if you have a blog let me know the link. I will return the following of course) Thanks! Here's my real blog link: 2010's New Life 4 Me!!!

ProudGrammy replied to syd5195's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey Newbie Stalls can last different time periods for different sleevers. Since you are relatively new to WLS, 2 weeks stalled, i would venture to "guess" within a couple of weeks the scale will probably start moving again. gotta be patient that being said..... the last few lbs are hard to get rid of i have 10 lbs til goal ------------i've been stallllled for 2 months + , do you hear me screaming? of course not, i shut the door :lol: good luck -
Anyone have Kaiser and had a revision?
Leyanna replied to SadieJosMom's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
I got my lapband in 2007 in Mexico. After a year it just quit working and it stayed dormant in there for seven years and two children. In April of 2014, I went to my Kaiser general doctor who referred me to the bariatric surgeon of my choice (through Kaiser, of course). After an upper GI was done, it was determined that my lapband needed to go. It was old & rusty and doing irrepairable damage to my esophogus. I was scheduled for a revision to sleeve in 10 days and I don't think I met the BMI requirements. With Kaiser, it all depends which doctor you see. Some are great and want to help, others not so much. May I ask where you are located? -

Bra line back lift and medial thigh lift
Scamp replied to madferitchick's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
I was leaving the hospital two days post op and a few hours before leaving they took the drains out and then I went straight in to compression then. I was driving within a week I think, definitely not more tahn two.. For the scars - I did a test on myself (silly idea) on my left leg I kept the paper tape bought from the chemist/drug store. On my right leg I used Micropore 3M tape..... My right legs scar is a ton better than the left leg scar! So I would always say to use Micropore 3M surgical paper tape as it is definitely better. I kept this tape on for 10-12 weeks - This supports the scar in it's first stage of healing so it doesn't stretch - Admittedly on the legs this is harder work, lol My daughters school is opposite my door so that was not a problem. I did not use special silicon sheets as I used the 3M tape and then just massaged scars with E45 type cream. Hope that helps -
Surgery date was 1/22/13 and I have only lost 16 pounds
mommyradd replied to bex6's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Bex: You can do this. If you are not already doing so, just limit yourself to 2 ounces of protein rich foods at a time, no more. Be sure to get in all 64 ounces of water or sugar free fluids. Limit your calorie intake, as well. Mine is around 800. I too, am a slow loser and have a low BMI. However; I have not had foods that aren't in my doctor's plan, and no matter how slow my weight has come off compared to others, I have not stopped trying. I had a long stall, and then ten pounds came off in 10 days! If I can do it, anyone can:) Good luck to you! -
Do I really have to do clear for 1 week...
sickofrollercoaster replied to gatormomof2's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Follow the guidelines you were given and you will be more confident in your weight loss! Believe me, once you have more options for food, it also gives you more opportunity to go over on carbs. Time really is flying for me so just focus on getting a variety in what you can have right now and plan for the switch to full liquids when it is permitted. I had to do clears for 10 days, it is all just a memory now and I am on day 13! Best of luck! -
12 weeks post-op - down 38 lbs. Is that normal?
sclark75149 replied to sclark75149's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have to say, however, I am wearing a Medium (even one Small) from an Extra Large AND from a size 14-16 pants to a 10 (even an 8-10). So, if I look at it that way, I feel much better. I just don't understand why I'm not losing. Around 4-6 weeks I didn't lose at all, then it picked up again. Appears I have stalled yet again. I am working out, although not as much as I should I guess. -

Am I starving myself to death? Can I cope with being thin?
JackieOMonroe posted a topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Let me preface this by saying that most of the time I am happy with my decision and I'm pleased with my progress. I try really hard to be a supportive and positive voice to everyone I speak to on VST and I mean the things that I say. I wouldn't be concerned about making this post, but I saw another user get read the riot act for being negative a few weeks ago and now I'm not sure if posts like this are acceptable. Anyway, here goes. Since the surgery, I worry so much about what I've done to myself. I eat so little and I'm losing weight so quickly, it makes me afraid that I've done serious harm to myself. I wonder if for the sake of health and vanity, I've gone too far and am now endangering my life. Will I starve to death? I realize that their are many thriving sleeve patients right here at this forum, but it doesn't make me feel better for some reason. Are we all just in the honeymoon stage? What happens 10 years from now? There's another thing that's been causing me a lot of worry. I haven't weighed less than 180 lbs in maybe 8-10 years. I don't know how to be thin anymore. Will I feel exposed? It seems stupid, but I'm really terrified of being a skinny person. I'm having a hard time pinpointing what it is that is causing me fear, but I guess losing weight feels like I'm shedding armor. The idea of me being genuinely, really and truly thin seems awkward to me. Lastly, I'm a believer in fat acceptance and HAES. I follow plus-sized fashion and fat activism blogs and it's important to me that people feel good in their own skin. I feel like a traitor because I couldn't look at myself in the same way that I look at other fats. I feel like I'll have to give that stuff up to avoid feeling like a hypocrite. That's enough rambling for tonight. Sorry if I'm bringing anyone down. -
I taught BodyPump for 10 years at a local gym here in Mobile, AL. It is the FASTEST way to get your body in shape. The music is great! You work all 8 major muscle groups in one class. High repetition/low weights with 75-100 reps per muscle group in each class. I miss teaching the class so much. I put on 80 lbs. after I stopped teaching (not due to that - surgery & other issues). Now that I have lost 105 lbs. I would love to get back in the class!

Nykee, this is not a LOT of food at all!! What are you talking about? What it is is the wrong kind of food, though. To get to the point where you're satisfied between meals, you need to kick up the Protein and get totally rid of the crunchy Snacks. Cheetos do absolutely nothing to fill you up, they're 99% air and 100% empty calories. You didn't have any real food until 2:00 p.m. and then not again until 10:00 p.m. And you're surprised you're hungry?!? You're not eating any real FOOD!! Try having a Protein Bar for Breakfast, eaten whenever you feel able to eat. Put another one in your purse for the next time you're tempted to buy Cheetos. Get some cold cuts and sliced cheese and have that for lunch or supper. I know the 7-11 near me sells Protein Bars, hard-boiled eggs, and pre-made sandwiches. Does yours? Buy a turkey sub and eat it from the inside out, leaving the bread for last. You may not even want the bread once you're done with the insides. Psychological counseling is a great idea, and if your doc's office is going to insist you might as well get what you can from it. In the meantime, there is a lot you can do about what you're eating that really will help you use the band to its best advantage. Don't get frustrated, get busy!

What Does The Green Zone Feel Like For You?
Summerrain replied to Lapbandster's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Green zone for me is not waking up hungry. First meal of the day for me is anywhere between 10 am and 11 am, I don't feel hungry for five to six hours, 2nd meal is my dinner, my night time snacking urge has completely disappeared and the scales are going down each day. I am satisfied between 1/2 cup to one cup of food per meal. Because of this I am really strict on making good healthy choices for my meals so I get my protein in first and either salad or vegetables second. Two litres of water per day. My restriction level is comfortable, I can pretty much eat everything provided I take small enough bites. My restriction is at a good level also to accommodate the varying fluctuations the band is finicky for eg ttom, stress etc because when I get stressed my little friend decides to get a bit tighter on me. The biggest thing I've noticed I'm no longer obsessed with food every minute of the day, only when it's meal times. Another thing I've noticed is if I don't go to the grocery store with a shopping list then I would come out empty handed as nothing in the supermarket or food courts no longer have me drooling over everything. I'm finally in control of food and not the other way around like it was pre banding. Fingers crossed I stay this way for a while before needing a top up.
