Congrats on this side of the losers bench. When you start getting over to discussion of issues outside of WLS, everyone's opinion here is what it is. If you follow the program and you lose what I would expect you can lose, you will find you social circle will change. If it is for the good or ill, well that is up to you and how you utilize the new opportunities. WARNING: In 27-57 days you may experience some strange feelings known as a hormone dump. Not everyone does, I sure as heck did. This means an increase in libido and other things. If you are planning, do NOT make any life changing decisions during this three to four month phase. Please post in the powder room for more female perspective, but while I enjoyed my time there, I would not want to make it a lifetime preoccupation.

WooHOOOOOOO!! I think it's awesome. Everything I need I can find somewhere in the threads here, but my poor family has been neglected (yes, I will admit it, too much Barney and Sesame Street this past week, and the laundry is piling) because I am sucked into my computer looking for info, getting distracted, having a ball, making friends, all the great stuff about LBT, it would be nice to have a comprehensive non-paid resource with all the links. I am NOT a computer geek but I'm a pretty good communicator, speller, editor type and I am currently researching myself so I could give you my perspective, if it helps. Yay! You are cool.

the more I get with the site I will be looking for more help. i've started the design and am setting up the general layout of the pages so that its all set to go to add info. my husband and I spoke tonight and he plans to make a database where those who have been banded can take a survey and that information will be shown in charts and easy to follow info. an example would be After one week how much did you loose (week2,3,4,5,6, etc) the results would show a graph or chart representing how much average weight loss per week. another example when did you move onto solid foods week 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 etc. coming up with these questions are gonna be the hardest for me since there is no real place to find such info. any suggestions would be great. once i get it into motion i will of course need a lot of people willing to take the survey and share the experience. on the survey would also be questions.. like this.. but each question would have max # of chars so that they were short answers explain what this surgery has done for you and your life would you recommend this surgery to a friend, if so why? whats one thing you wish you would have know but didnt? etc.... anyone who wants to help me come up with things to include on a survey would be much appreciated.. you can email me katie@Griffonco.com or post it.. either way =)

I'm 6 weeks post-op on Wed and am battling a 3 week stall (uuugh) but old jeans have started to fit again AND I can cross my legs once again! So while I am tired of not losing actual weight, I'll try to focus on the positives.

Since I travel for my work at least 4 days a week I am looking for a small blender or smoothy maker that will fit in the checked bag. Any one have any suggestions?

2nd week post op foods
KateP replied to wesleyfamily's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The problem is that different doctors have different protocols. Some of us may still be on liquids at two weeks, some on purées, some on soft foods, even a few in normal foods. -
Three week stall! :(
mousecat88 replied to fmellnick's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
You've lost almost 90 pounds in three months! That's amazing! I'm *almost* two months and have only lost 32. (The other 10 lbs it shows was pre-op) I wish I were you! You'll get through this stall and keep on keeping on! -

Help! Painful Drinking
James Marusek replied to zthompson12's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
For the first few weeks after surgery, your body is in a major heal mode. Some individuals have a hard time meeting their Protein and Fluid requirements in the beginning. But it should get better. Keep working at meeting your daily goals. Some people report that drinking Water can hurt. It is important to drink really slow. They reported that if they drank fast it hurt. So take small sips. Some people put ice chips in their mouth to counter the dryness. This condition gets better with time. One individual reported that it wasn't until the 8 week mark, that the condition went into remission. -
My opinion is that it is a no brainer. If you are averaging 2.5 lbs a week, you definitely do NOT need a fill...it working wonderfully for you....so why mess with it? What do you mean by saying "I have restriction but that is it"?? You say it like that is a bad thing. That is what is supposed to happen....you should be able to be at the sweet spot (ie. lose 1-2 lbs per week) and NOT experience sliming, pbs, pain, stuck feeling etc....THAT IS the goal. So personally, I think you'd be nutso to mess with where you're at!!!! I don't mince words sometimes, eh?! LOL

I saw that you experienced band erosion. I am still waiting for my first fill and had the Midband implanted instead of the Lapband for this very reason. After researching the issue it appears that this problem may have been resolved with the Midband. Have you thought about getting a Midband replacement? What were your symptoms? As for the diet I am feeling better after reading this posts. I am down 21 pounds after 2 weeks. I thought it would be more. I also am able to put away more food than I thought I would beable to you. However, I am having trouble with solid food. I am scheduled to have my first fill on July 18, 2004.

Hello fellow sleevers. I am now three months out since all of my surgeries, both planned and emergency following my leak. When I was discharged from hospital at the end of October, the leak test had showed the leak had healed but I was always worried that something would happen and it would come back. I had my three month consult with my surgeon today and she said that given my overall improving health, fitness, weight loss etc that she is convinced the leak is totally healed and best of all, she has NEVER heard of someone getting another leak, particularly after three months. Which is the greatest!! It has given me such a confidence boost, and just what I needed!!! The thought of getting sick again and going back to hospital really bothered me. Now, I feel like I am going to be right and my Dr's confirmed it for me. I am just so damn happy! Oh, and I lost another two kilos this week. Now I am in the clear I can start exercising, so I am going to start heading to the gym soon! I hope it will help tone up and let the weight loss continue. Not that losing weight's been an issue so far, but after 40+kg (about 90 pounds so far), I figure it's going to slow down or even stop soon...just seems to be what other's experience. Thanks again to all of those who have supported me and who have sent kind messages on this blog. I really appreciate it!! Cheers, Lila

Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch (BPD-DS)
TEXASLADY52 replied to ishy1985's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I had something as you described done in June. I have lost 81 pounds. I had a stomach stapling in 1980....I only lost 11 pounds. The staple line came lose and therefore I had two stomachs. The doctor said that was why I was unable to lose weight all of these years. The Dr told me he recommended a combination (some call it a modified DS). Because of my stomach problems they were unable to form a sleeve and just made a small pouch. I haven't had any problems except when I eat too fast or don't chew good enough. You will need lots of Protein and be on Vitamins for the rest of your life. So far my labs have been good......just my thyroid is like it is on a roller coaster....still trying to level it out. I feel I am a slow loser compared to others on this board.....but I am older and probably don't do as much exercising. Losing slow is ok.....they say you are more often to keep it off. I have gone down three...almost four sizes. -
Your Weight Loss at 1 month appointment?
dveenastar replied to Moondust's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I was banded Sept 28, 2010. I lost 6lbs on the 1 week pre-op diet. I've only lost 11lbs since then. Can not get a fill for a few more weeks. I was wondering if anyone has noticed that you are losing weight differently with the band than with other diets. Example: when I did the Atkins diet a few years back I lost about 30 pounds and nearly all of the loss was in my stomach. The 17lbs I've lost so far seems to have all been in my legs and butt, hardly any in my stomach. Seems weird. -

I lost 25 lbs at my 4 week mark. -
Post op diets vary significantly, it is always best to follow your surgeon's or dietian's guidelines. I had two weeks liquid then went onto pureed for a couple of weeks followed by a four weeks mnced/soft graduating to soft/normal in that four weeks. My dietician had on her list for pureed foods: high protein (low sugar) yoghurts, custard (I did this once only as I found it too sweet and triggered my sweet tooth), scrambled egg, cottage and ricotta cheese, sandwich style tuna (spreadable), blended soups and the like such as casseroles...but they had to be highly blended. Was also advised to supplement with protein drinks if needed.

I am only 2.5 weeks post op but have lost a bit over 35 pounds so far including the 2 week pre op diet. -
I don't have my band yet, but I'm on my two week liquid diet, so I can empathize a little bit. The other night, my daughter texted me from Publix, "Mom! Publix has the 20 piece hot wings on sale for just $6.99!" I texted her back, "I just had to suck on a little tiny bite of pizza and you want to tease me with wings?"

After my EGD my surgeon said that I have this. He called in a perscription for me and scheduled an appointment to come in and speak with him in a few weeks. I was planning on having the sleeve but read that it could make it worse. Anyone out there get diagnosed with this? Sent from my SM-N920T using the BariatricPal App

You can try the Couch to 5k. It is also available as a mobile app. Many people here have used it with success. I have used myself in the past and liked the program. You can repeat weeks if you find it too difficult.
