I believe it can self correct if you are unfilled for a few weeks. Its very hard to not overeat with a band. I mean, you dont overeat to the point of taking in too many calories, but to stop the very second you feel the signal, that is hard. I consistently shove in a mouthfull or two more. .

Received Surgery date...now pre-surgery diet for 6 weeks
mrs kaje replied to joego2014's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I don't see anything wrong with it, except the recommendation for packaged meals. My surgeon has 2, 4 and 6 week pre-op diets and I guess it depends on your current health as to what one you'll need to go on. -
I actually stalled early. After day 14, my weight didn't budge even .1 lb for 5 days. I greatly increased my water intake and thankfully the stall stopped. Just do your best getting in lots of fluids, and just be reassured that it is normal.

The dreaded 3-5 week stall strikes again! There are tons of posts about it if you look back through the threads. Best thing to do is focus on hydration, Protein, and healing. Put the scale away for at least 10 days and you should have a little bit of a loss in a couple of weeks. Don't drive yourself crazy by weighing everyday. Good luck!!

Hi, my surgery date was June 6, and I've lost 32 lbs. I was at a plateau for about a week, but I'm losing again so, I am happy about that. I'm taking the Premier Protein shake, but I'm kind of getting board with them. What Protein shakes are you taking? Sent from my SM-N920T using the BariatricPal App

It's my Dad in shock not me.... The oldies came for lunch today and we were having homemade savory pasties and strawberry piklets with cream cheese and honey, all the healthy low fat versions but none of which I could eat or felt like eating today. Dad keeps saying but one wont hurt. He just has not grasped the concept of what I've done and why would anyone do that 2 themselves:confused: when I said I haven't eaten any bread or pastry or steak or... any of his daily stples I thought The shock nearly killed him:eek:. The father inlaw said, " Well when you lose the weight you can get taken off and properly again"????????????????????????? I have tried to explain but realisse that these 2 old dogs aren't up to learning any new tricks at this stage. I spose these 2 represent a growing number in my immediate circle who can't comprehend the sacrifices I am willing to make because now I can really see the bigger picture. & it's not my bum in a photo again. Between them they have decided Christmas day will not be worth living if they have to have it at my house because there will be no food, All this said as they chow down on the pasties and piklets while I have a shake.... These two are nuts:w00t: Still at least that means someone else can shop, clean and cook all day instead of me. Other than that have had a great day and their reactions have made me laugh:lol: ONLY ! WEEK OF HOLIDAYS 2GO Cheers Chooky

I am a smoker to... Its hard to quit a hand to mouth addiction like smoking when u cant put food hand to mouth. I habe been on Chantix for a couple of months but I was only taking it once a day,.it helped me cut back a lot. 2 weeks ago my mom, a smoker of 40.yrs, was diagnosed with cancer of.the kidney. Kidney cancer is linked to smoking, I know I was shocked to, & its also hereditary. So none the less I increased it to 2 times a day, like ur supposed to take it, & I am down to 1~2 cigs a day. Fact is u wont be sucessful with quitting unless u r.totally prepared for it. U have to do it for urself! Just like getting the lap band to help u loose weight & be healthy... Only u can make those decisions... I have sucessfully quit in the past, for 4 months, but for.some silly reason I started again. I rember how good I felt & how nice it was to be able to walk up a flight of stairs without being winded! Its well worth it, its just hard to get there Hang in there everyone, who is trying to quit that is

Anyone been sleeved at New york hospital queens
hopeliveshere posted a topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
I would love to hear your experience with the hospital and the doctors. I am going to a seinar next week for dr stephen merola and dr armando castro. Thank you -
Well poke a badger with a spoon :phanvan I was worried about not getting a fill until 3/27 well, now it's not until 4/2. That's one day short of 5 weeks. whew... give me the strength to control myself for that long. I think I'll be ok but I'm afraid overdoing it once is all that it will take... hopefully that knowledge will keep me in line. I forgot my lunch today so i went to a mex place with friend and got grilled chicken and beans. Ate half and boxed up the rest. Since I have been walking on my lunch break and knew I would be able to today, I walked once around the building this a.m. and plan to go again this afternoon.

Daisydoodle, I have the larger band and had my 5th fill this week. I have pretty good restriction now, but up until then I had none at all. Dont be disheartened, a couple more fills and you will be fine. Im lucky my Dr lets me come in each week until I have restriction.

I get pretty rumbly in my tumbly too. I am just 4 weeks out and it has happened since I got banded. Dunno what it means!

hi :sad: I just had my surgery 2 weeks ago, how did the liquid plan go for you? i'm finding it hard and i'm only 16 so i feel weird with all my friends. Was it hard for you?
-
OK, I have read "how to tell if you have the perfect fill" however, I still have a few questions. I'm at 2.5cc's currently and right after my last fill I had a good amount of restriction...4 chicken Mc Nuggets and I was satisfied...a few weeks out now and I'm able to eat quite a bit more...sometimes 2 cups...I do notice however that I do not get hungry nearly as often... Am I normal? I'm so paranoid I've stretched my pouch...

drinks to help pay for health care reform while dissuading people from overconsuming sweetened beverages. (Another proposal would raise federal taxes on alcoholic drinks). Of course, the mere fact that a tax is effective in reducing consumption doesn't by itself mean it should be enacted. Indeed, the same argument can be made against imposing taxes. Reducing consumption reduces sales, which hurts business, which could hit workers and stockholders. And soda pop ain't cigarettes. Any amount of smoking is bad for you, but as the otherwise-disingenuous beverage industry correctly points out, it's possible to consume sugary drinks in moderation without seriously degrading your health. Still, given the alarming rates of obesity and diabetes in the United States, and given the dire need to finance health care reform, such a tax may do a lot of good. I say "may" because the effectiveness of the proposal is far from clear, as is the impact it might have on the beverage industry, which is already struggling with declining sales. I don't really have a strong position on the issue (despite what happened the last time I wrote about this, when a particularly insistent young anti-tax zealot repeatedly e-mailed me to complain, as if I were trying to take money out of his bank account to give it to the Socialist Workers Party). It's also far from clear that such a tax will pass. A similar effort in New York recently failed miserably, perhaps because the rate was way too high?18 percent. The Associated Press reported that while there has been plenty of lobbying activity on both sides of the federal proposal, it has been relatively "quiet." The beverage industry and allies such as the corn lobby have not wanted to appear too zealous in opposing schemes to finance health care reform, it said. But if you look hard enough, you'll find plenty of strong language coming from the sweetener lobby. Like this gem from Neil Trautwein of the National Retail Federation: "Are they going to hit couch manufacturers? School districts that have canceled physical education?" The AP characterized his questions as jokes, but given the similarly bombastic language from other tax opponents, I'm not so sure. Last week, the New York Times editorial page came out in favor of the tax. While the Times did put some of the onus for health on consumers themselves?where it surely belongs?it also recognized the obesity epidemic for what it is: a public-health problem.

WOW for me I could shower the day after surgery. And soak in a tub a week after surgery. I only had the tape strips. No glue no stiches on the outside.

I waited almost three weeks.

I sat in a really clean bathtub with about 3 inches of water...not touching my scars after about a week. I just had to have a bath!

I just got my secound fill after my band has been empty for almost a year. I have 3cc in it and i'm really tight. no hamburger meat, steak or any food with using roast or hotdogs. I can handle chicken cut up very small and bacon. For the past two days I've lived off lettuce cut up in very small shredds with bacon very small peices and fresh tomato diced added light miricle whip 3 table spoons. It gives it a juice effect and i get the blt taste which is great. I do the same with chicken. That is what I've had three times a day a cup at each meal. does anyone else have the problem with getting meats down?

Thanks ladies! Makes me feel better. I have my 2 week appt with Dr Cribins today. So we shall see. By the way- does anyone drink coffee? Or is this a total no-no?

After procrastinating for 6 weeks, I've finally established a routine that I think I can stick with. The coach at my school told me I should see results with it. I hope he knows what he's talking about. I use the weight machines in the school gym for 15 minutes during my free period. I hope to get up to 30, but I'm nowhere near strong enough yet. At home, I ride my recumbent bike for 20-30 minutes After that, I do a short kettlebell workout for 5-10 minutes.

@athena3127 good for you for taking the step for exercise!! Careful I find when I am going regularly I crave it more!! LOL I'm just back to the gym this week since not going for two weeks and I can feel it in my shins, but I ended up doing more miles in less time so I was happy. -
Hi, My package was submitted to Cigna last week Thursday and it finally came in today - APPROVED!!!! I am so excited and can't wait. I have a scheduled pre-op with my surgeon next week Fri - the 19th with a June 29 Surgery date. They will start me on my pre-op diet of 7 days prior to surgery since I am close to the 40 bmi marker OMG! I'm so excited and I can't believe the date is finally here. It was 3 months for me and things went rather smoothly. Anyone else scheduled for the same day?
