Nope. Sounds like you're healing well and you should be glad of that. I was eating 1000 calories per day at 3 weeks and my doctor was delighted.

Ahhh. Stomach Flu= Total unfill :(
Mimilou2004 replied to mellabella78's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Mella, I hope your doc gave you an anti nausea prescription for next time. You have a good attitude and this 2 weeks will be over soon. I am sorry it happened, though. Good luck, Mimi -
Ahhh. Stomach Flu= Total unfill :(
jennibee replied to mellabella78's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The same thing happened to me last year but my dr. made me go a whole 6 weeks w/o anything in my band. It was he-double hockeysticks! I was so glad to finally get some restriction again! I hope the two weeks fly by for you! -
Major Bummer ! Surgery post-poned
isaviolinist replied to beergut's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
My surgery wasn't delayed for weeks, but it was delayed for one week. So although I didn't go through exactly what you're going through, I totally understand that sinking feeling when you find out it has to be delayed. What made mine so upsetting was that it was delayed unnecessarily (an incompetent physician who worked in pulmonary made a wrong call a few days before my surgery saying I needed a CPAP and needed ANOTHER sleep test. She said I would need to use it for a week before I had surgery, thus pushing my surgery back...I went ot the sleep test and they said, again, that I DIDN'T need it...it was frustrating). Anyhow, your surgery will be here before you know it!!! You can use this time to start exercising and eating right and stuff and maybe get a few pounds off before the surgery...it will make it even safer! Good luck! -
Ahhh. Stomach Flu= Total unfill :(
carebear12187 replied to mellabella78's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Omg I couldn't imagine getting a total unfill. It would be on that's for sure. I'm sure I would eat everything in sight. I had the stomach flu and luckly didn't have to get an unfill. I had the stomach flu a week after I had my gall bladder out and immediately went to the hospital because I thought my band was messing up. They gave me antinausia through an iv and that made me feel a ton better. I hope u get well I know what u are going through. -
Ok, just had my first non liquid meal in 4 weeks tonight!:wink2: I had 2 oz. of moist cooked flounder and 1/4C of mashed potatoes. I wanted some soft cooked veggies but my list says that's week 4. So my question to all the veterans out there -- how long would it take me to PB or vomit. I ate slow. Chewed well. Stopped when I was full. It's been about 15 minutes -- would I have gotten sick already? When that happens is it an immediate thing? I told you guys it was a silly question.:smile2:

Pre-op diet all liquid?
alicesandra replied to loser2014's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I did about three weeks of pre-op diet, but mine was a mixture of shakes & protein bars. Think I had like 5 small shakes & 4 small protein bars per day. -
I work out 4-5 times a week and as a result I have had to increase my calories from 1000 -1200 or 1300 on workout days and make sure before a workout I have a protein shake or omelette with salmon before breakfast, an hour before a workout. Or after a workout, sometimes a shake, banana with natural yoghurt, almonds or cottage cheese on a cracker. I can burn around 400-600 calories just from running and boy my body does need those extra calories, if not I suffer rom headaches and just too week to exercise.

What do you tell employers?
kyllfalcon replied to MelissaGG's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Not trying to pick a fight, please understand, but that is a rather broad statement that there is no need to take a medical leave. I was in relatively decent health, but no way I could have gone back to my job in a week. I was exhausted and had the runs so bad - and there is no restroom on my floor! And everyone is different. It is wonderful that you had such an easy time of it, but not everyone does, and not just the unhealthy. -
3 week stall is real
Queenie4U replied to sleevedviolet's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgery was on 12/13/16. I first month I lost 29 pounds. Then I stalled for 3 weeks! It was so frustrating. Finally my stall broke today with a 4 pound loss. Don't give up, just keep going. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App -
Hey everyone, I was just wondering if you could tell me what a stall is. I know it's when you stop losing weight for a period of time but how long does it last and how did you get through it? I'm a very impatient person and I get a lot of anxiety when I'm not losing weight because I'm doing everything right and I'm just getting frustrated. Xx

NJfrenchteacher posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Okay great so its three days after my surgery, the thought of more chicken broth is actually making me queasy...and then...I just started crying, I mean bawling...for no reason for like a half an hour. I don't even know what upset me. Have I lost it? -
4 Weeks Of Working Out (5Days A Week) Lost 2.8Lbs !! Has This Happened To You?
♥LovetheNewMe♥ replied to blackcadillacs5's topic in Fitness & Exercise
I have been working out with a trainer for the past 7 months - 3 days a week. I only lost 20 lbs but I droped 5 sizes. There is a misconception that muscle weighs more than fat but actually a pound is a pound no matter if it is fat or muscle. The difference is muscle is leaner and therefore you are toner and smaller instead of all jiggly and fat. So you say you have only dropped less than 3 lbs but have you lost inches, dropped you percent of body fat and do you look toner? Are you sure you are eating enough protein and calories, when lifting weight I know you burn more calories and high protein diet is key to developing muscles. My two cents! -
4 Weeks Of Working Out (5Days A Week) Lost 2.8Lbs !! Has This Happened To You?
blackcadillacs5 replied to blackcadillacs5's topic in Fitness & Exercise
Thanks everyone...I weight myself a day ago (about 6 weeks since my last weigh in) and I'm down 9.5lbs which is awesome! LOL I was just taken aback with the 3lbs after 5 hard weeks. I appreciate the insight, I am taking it to heart...I have already modified my diet and upped my Protein and Water. I will not let this plateau beat me! LOL Thanks again. -
Hi guys. So I'm getting really frustrated with my weight. I know stalls are completely normal, and I've dealt with a few before this one. I was 4 months post sleeve on the 11th. My weight has moved up and down the same 2lbs since the end of march. I've upped my water intake, increased exercise, and I'm hitting my protein goals and nothing is budging! I've had stalls that were like 1-2 weeks but nothing like this. And all my nutritionist says is to make sure to hit protein and water goals and I'll be fine. Apparently not [emoji36] they also don't give us a calorie range so I don't know if I'm not eating enough. I feel like I am? I'm around 800-1000 calories depending on the day. Sorry, I just needed a place to rant. It sucks putting in so much work and not seeing any changes! Especially because it had been going well before.

I'm 3 weeks out and I haven't experienced this problem. I hope you feel better soon!!

No, I went to Mexico for my surgery, self pay. I wrote 10 cc on the paper, I knew what I had. But when she put in 3 cc fill, when the barium didnt go into my stomach, she decided I didnt know what I was talking about and must have misunderstood, so she took almost all the fill out, so gave me a usual fill for a 4 cc band. Im sure the fill doctor is a nice person and she only does fills on Saturdays because she knows how it is to get banded in Mexico and have trouble finding a fill doctor. She doesnt take you until after you have been banded for at least 5 weeks and then our schedules didnt match, so Im on my own until sept 27th. She was banded herself in Mexico her husband said. She does the whole thing, fluor and barium swallow, and got worried because 3 cc I was too tight for and its not too tight for most with a 10 cc band. So she decided my surgeon had said the band was 10 cm across in diameter, not a 10 cc band and took out way too much of the fill. My surgeon recommended a 2.5 cc fill for the first fill. Im just in a panic because of the cruise coming up. Will power aint going to cut it and I can eat anything, there isnt any food I cant eat because of my band so far. I was also hoping that my clothes would fit better, they still look too tight to be attractive on my cruise. Im insulin resistant so losing weight is hard enough for me. Just feeling all around frustrated tonight.

That is a good idea I like the this idea. So pretty much prepare just as I did before I was getting ready to give birth. However, being that I may be out of commission a little longer I need to set up a more organized routine for chores. Then to just make things a little less crazy perhaps I should get paper plates and cups to decrease the amount of dishes that need to be washed. I could also do freezer meals for the first few weeks.

Help please...3 fills and still nothing...
kevinh posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My Dr told me after surgery that he had given me the "large" band because that was sort of standard for him when it comes to men, but I am several weeks out post-op and have had three fills totaling 6 cc's and I can eat a baby portion, medium portion, or elephant dinner and I am usually not full at all. I can drink a glass of water, or soda (go easy on me) and nothing gets backed up, I mean, nothing seems to slow down or meet any restriction at all. Shouldn't I ask for another fill ASAP? TIA -
hey everyone!! I joined the site because i just started the surgery process and have no one to talk to about it. my mother went thru gastric bypass about 7 years ago. im only 21 so i dont have any friends to really talk to about this and i have no friends who understand what im going thru. im not sure what to expect with all of this. hoping to have my surgery my august and i have my first intro class next week. so any advice or anything that you could give me would be much appriciated

Post op 3 weeks, day 4 no power. I share the zip code with Union Beach & Keyport, 2 towns there hit hard!! sleeved 10/15/2012

I was also banded March 5th and had my first fill March 31st and a second one scheduled for April 20th. Its not the "best" feeling ordeal, but its bearable... I ate pretty much anything I wanted 2 weeks after surgery, felt absolutely no restriction and after my 1st fill of 4cc's still feel very little restriction.. Im hoping it will get better after the next one.... Good luck.

Hi, I'm one week out from being banded and finding the same thing. Mid day a 1/2 cp of cream strained soup feels like a gallon bubble in my chest, the next time, feels like I could eat 2 cups! Having the same worries but seems to be common, so gonna try to trust the band and relax. hang in there!

5 days till Surgery! A little TMI to come!
TwinsMama commented on Cmt7831's blog entry in Crystal VSG Journey!!
My period ended a few days before surgery and then I woke up the day after surgery with it again. Stayed for another 2 weeks. The only upside is that I hurt so bad from my complications that I never noticed any cramps. That was my silver lining. -
I hit the mini goal that I was tryinig for, two days ahead of schedule!!! I was trying to get below 245 before my B-Day (this Thursday) and I did it!!!!! This morning I weighed in at 244. I have been doing good everyday. I am keeping below 1000 cals, and doing the intermediate level aerobics daily. I am finally seeing progress. Well, it is about damn time! I still haven't added the crunches yet, but that is my goal for later this week. I am loving wearing clothes that haven't been on my bod in about 8 or so months... It really feels great! Including what I lost pre-op my grand total is -21 lbs. only -11 since banding, but at least it is starting to finally come off. It is gonna be tricky to eat a piece of cake and still stay under my 1000 cal limit. I am definately foregoing the ice cream (even the "light"),. My 13 yr old daughter (Stephanie) is making my cake. This will be her first attempt at a cake, but all of her other cooking is excellent so I know she can pull it off.
