trouble eating in the morning
options123 replied to got2haveicecream's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have no fill I am 7 weeks out and can't eat till about 3pm each day. I do protein drinks in the am. Some days are better than others. I went through hell trying to figure that out. It is not in your head do what works for you. Also on hot days I am tighter. -
Hi all New to this forum but had band for three years. Been a bit of a roller coaster. Did well at first lost 65lb then had barium test to tight so they took some out. stay stableish slowly going up weight after that but know where near goal weight. Realised that I had wheat intolerance so cut that out think swelling from that was confusing issue so essentially gone from really tight to no restriction without fill. Don't think I ever experienced sweet spot. Anyway put on 14lb over summer arghh! Went back for fill last fri all this week been fine actually been grate felt like I finally hit sweet spott not hungry eating small portions and satisfied yay I thinks! then yesterday in morning I had made some mini sausage with bacon for my sons lunch and popped one in my mouth without thinking doh!! Soon as I did it I thought ah that not gone work so I spat it out unfortunately some of the bacon went down without being chewed I think u know where this is going so must have got trapped tried eating as normal that night oh no that not happening not staying down. So today pain in chest able to drink 1/3rd cup hot tea okish. Been making lots of tea today Have decided to do liquid tomorrow as well as today and see if irritation swelling gos down so don't want to go back and have some out took me year n half to get back to this after last time. Any thought has anyone had this experience and had it sort itself out? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am down 70lbs. and embarrassingly enough, without exercise. The first six fills I lost nothing but finally got my band in the place it needs to be. I'm surprised everyone seems to be dealing with the same issues as myself. Usually the first half of the week I feel like my band may have broke because I could eat tons then the latter half I'm basically on liquids. Funny thing is my friend asked what exactly it was that I ate to feel the band was broke and I told her I could eat half a chicken breast and almost a full piece of pizza...the realization is when I assume I'm "pigging out" it's still not that much food. The only tricky part is understanding when I can eat and I can't. If my band is super tight for 4 days I know I could have a serving of ice cream or a small slurpee and be ok but when I actually am eating I have to check myself and be like "marisa why are you at 7-11 getting a slurpee when you actually ate a full meal today". So far I've caught myself and ate accordingly. Since Thanksgiving I feel like this band is truly working and I'm working with it. Couldn't be happier. Side note: I had dinner with a man that was banded 10 years earlier, he said his band no longer works. As he proceeded to tell me his issues I sat there and watched him take and entire rack of ribs and cut them into little pieces and pour an obscene amount of ketchup to make a Soup like meal. At that moment I couldn't have been happier...after 10 years it wasn't his band that gave up....it was him!!!

Hi, I started mushies yesterday, my doctor only wants me to have one mushy meal a day. I too had problems after eating, I'm not sure if it was guilt. I've worked so hard to lose the weight I have and eating this meal made me feel like I blew it. I get restricted in 3 weeks. Can't wait.

I was banded a year ago March 23rd and I am down 112 pounds! (From 264 to 152.) I have gone from a size 18/20 to a size 8! I crave and want food normally, but am full much quicker. My restriction seems to go from not enough to too much from day-to-day. It is still a learning process as to how to eat successfully every time. Every time I think I want to call and get an unfill because I can hardly eat, I have a day where I feel like a bottomless pit. Also, I am now 10 weeks pregnant with baby #2!!!

I trust my pulmonary doctor completely. In some ways I'm disappointed. However the whole point is to be as healthy as I can. If my lungs need to be stronger so be it. I've been overweight a long time. A few more weeks won't hurt and it allows me to build up more time to take off when I'm ready. I'm still committed to having the surgery. It will happen when the time is right. Again thanks to everyone. As we say in Tennessee "Y'all are great!"

Question about weight loss immediately after band
hrtgoeson posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I keep running into posts from ppl who are a week or 2 after banding and have lost 30-40 lbs. I'm 2 weeks post-op today and have lost little to no weight after surgery - 1 think maybe 5 lbs. Am I doing something wrong or is this just a matter of 'everyone is different'? -

I am almost one month out and I've noticed a HUGE difference in my bowels. First of all, I used to go every day, now I'm going every three days. Also, the stools are so hard and almost painful...is this normal?!

I am bumming out
XYZXYZXYZ1955 replied to jesslovesglitter's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It sounds as though you hit the normal three-week stall, so no worries there. I'm a little confused--when you say you eat "4 ounces of protein at least" do you mean at one time? That seems like a lot at once for as relatively early as you are in the process. Are you meeting the water goals? I would not stress over meeting an arbitrary weight loss goal; focus more on the big four goals (per my surgeon): water, protein, vitamins, and exercise. Is there a reason you are not taking vitamins? They really are essential for WLS recipients--we can't get enough of what we need through our very limited diets at this point. Good luck! -
Acid reflux and banding
this sucks replied to fee139's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had reflux for 20 years before my banding. When my band was placed, they did a repair to my hiatal hernia. Since banding, three plus years now, I've only had reflux when my band was filled too tight. I don't take any daily acid medication anymore. Feels great after all those years! -
Thanks for updating, I have been wondering about you. It's interesting how everyone is different. I can't stand room temp. things. I like my drinks and Protein shakes cold with ice and they go down so much better for me! I like my Soup warm. If you still have trouble getting liquids in I would still suggest going and getting fluids. I had 2 bags a week ago and ever since then I have felt wonderful and have been able to get in all my liquids and Protein Shakes. Take care and keep us updated.

Okay I can't wait until I get my first fill!!! I really ate TOO much over the weekend!! I ate soul food on Saturday and a bite or two of cake, then I ate a tiny slice of pizza. On yesterday I ate three tacos, potato salad, baked beans, hot link, slice of chocolate chip cheese cake and a few bites of a cherry cheese cake. I was really BADD!!! But it was GOOD!!! Okay today I have already eaten a grab bag of sour cream Ruffles 400 calories!! My May goal is really looking unreachable...I need to lose 12:cry :cry pounds by May 31st! :heh: :heh: I'm going to try my best to meet it!!!! Be blessed

I had my band in 01/05 and to me it was very painful the first 4 days. I have a very low tolerance for pain. I had my revision on 12/20/13 and it was painless, hardly any pain, I was a little tender on left side for abt two to three days. I was really nervous abt the pAin w the sleeve. I had watch several u tube videos..some said no pain and others said worst pain in their life. So I wasn't really sure what to think. I was really scared but went ahead with it. When I came to I couldn't believe that it didn't hurt. I was pleasantly surprised and oh so relieved. No my only problems was EXTREME nausea and Diarrhea... My diarrhea has stop and the nausea not quiet as bad. Good luck in your venture

Jessiquoi sounds like your having what like to call a day from hell hope things improve for u a few short weeks will probably go fast I feel the frustration tho and I sympathize thought I was going in dec but was told yesterday no probly won't even see surgeon until just before or just after Xmass it's so disapointing everything takes so long to get done
-
i wish i could say i'm excited, but i'm just disappointed that it's not for another three weeks when just three weeks ago they told me probably 10/21 or 10/28. well, i'm also in the middle of a horrific insulin attack (low blood sugar) and dealing with multiple production problems at work, so it ain't the best day. yay

I had my very first mushy meal a few minutes ago and I'm wondering if it was more than it should have been. I had 1/2 cup of egg salad and one of those cottage cheese doubles w/peaches. I'm guessing that was about 1/2 cup as well. I was hungry after the egg salad and by the time I was done with the cottage cheese, I felt more satisfied. I could have eaten a little more but decided not to push it. I'm wondering if this was a huge amount to eat 4 weeks out. I haven't had a fill yet so probably don't have much restriction. My head is playing games with me and I'm feeling guilty as if I ate too much (the way I felt before the surgery). Any thoughts?? :confused2:

3 Weeks Post Lap Band Surgery and Scale Barely Moving!
sassy k's mommy replied to Ale817's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
First of all banster hell will last longer than up to your first fill. majority of the time the first fill doesn't even help. You can suffer from bandster hell until about your fourth to eighth fill depending on you. once you transition between liquids to solid you are probably going to stay teh same. or not lose. don't let that get you discourage. its too early on to allow your brain to get in the way of things. I have been banded for ten months. I am getting to my green zone or sweet spot. I have had six fills and one unfill. So, each person is different and you shouldn't go by what others say. try to walk for a hour a day if possible. you are also going to stay swollen for several weeks maybe in a couple of months.. try to stay away from breads, pastas and rice. also watch your salt intake.. also remember to drink 64 ounces of water.. even crystal like will work.. add lemons to your water. -
Just wanted to say hello. I had my lap band placed 1 week ago 1/2/2013. Everyhting has been going well with the post surgery liguid diet. I only had a couple days of nausea. Ken
