Well went in after four weeks and lost another five pounds, so I finally hit the 50 pound mark! I was banded on June 11th and although there are times I get a bit discouraged if the scale doesn't move fast enough for me (I work out at the gym three to five days a week) I'm very pleased with this. I have a 14cc band and as of this afternoon now have 9.5 in the band. I'm at a very good restriction and the doctor even told me when I lose about another 50 pounds he will schedule me for surgery to get the extra skin removed from my stomach. I am 19 pounds away from Onederland and I can't wait!

The Chinese place near my work has 'diet delight' meals - plain rice, Chinese veggies, with chicken, beef, scallops, or shrimp (or a combination of these) with your choice of sauce on the side. A girl at work and I got it last week. I had a scallop, a shrimp, and a couple little chicken strips with some veggies, drizzled with a little Chinese hot sauce. It was good, just enough, and my friend didn't even miss the little I took!

I'm wondering how to get enough calories in. I started pureed foods today and so far have had 3/4 of a scrambled egg and 1/2 C. of Protein pudding. Add in my Isopure and that is only 310 calories, 60g. of protein. I plan on some thinned out refried Beans with a little cheese for dinner, but I am pretty sure I won't get in very much before I am stuffed.

You are going to be fine :-) I literally felt like so was killing myself once I got home from the hospital an wanted absolutely nothing to do with food or drinking. It was a chore for sure to drink and do anything. I cried a few times myself and wondered if I made a huge mistake. I was getting dehydrated because I couldn't drink much or just didn't want it. But I pushed through and did what I could. I was role for the first 2 weeks to not even stress about the protein it's basically impossible that early to get it all in cuz you are healing and swollen. Just rest and try your best to stay hydrated. I promise at 4 weeks it's a turning point for most. It was for me. Once I got passed purée food it was even better. Hang in tree and take it one day at a time one day I promise you will feel " normal" again.

Surgery 1/29/11 w/ Dr. Aceves/Anyone????
Eloray replied to lucill35's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi Lucill35, I 'm actually penciled in for Jan 29th 2011 with Dr. Aceves. I am scared to make it a reality. This is the first time i have said anything. I have a family of 8 and using all that money on just me just doesnt sound logical or sensible. What if I fail. Which i know alot about. Losing weight has been my nemisis for a long time! The last 3 years it has beaten me down to no return. My sister had the lap band surgery with great sucess so i start looking around and here i am. The money thing is giving me anxiety; I think just do it on you own and save for a rainy day. But i havent cancelled yet so if i get things secured I will pm you so we can look out for each other when we arrive in Mexico. It will be nice to have friend during this journey. Sound good? :rolleyes: -
My 1st Fill isn't going the way I wanted.....
That's How I Roll replied to That's How I Roll's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks for the reply! I didn't think about swelling. My band is 10cc empty and they put in 3cc's. I just feel sooooo icky. My first 6 weeks has been such a breeze that when this issue came up, it freaked me out a little. I guess it could be worse...I could be drooling! :thumbup: -
Hi everyone! I'm currently entering my 6th week post-op and have a question. My upper back has been very sore and tender the past 2 weeks. Some days are better than others. It doesn't keep me from any activities but it can be very aggravating at times. I went to my chiropractor a few times and today he told me that because I've lost some weight that my posture has probably improved and that my back muscles that were used to compensating for bad posture have to re-adjust because they do not have to work as hard and that they may be sore until they get used to working "normally". Do you think he might be right and has anyone else experienced this? Thanks, Chris

Im 9 weeks post. My back pain is terrible! Lower back pain though. I went to the Chiro. and he said the exact same thing. I hope the pain goes away soon. I couldnt go to the gym 2 times last week because it hurt too bad. That is the worst part- I need to go to the gym! Hope you feel better soon Chris Hope I feel better soon

Mental Anguish over Decision
lisad97411 replied to Worrier No. 1's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I'm 53 and was 300lbs. When my knees began to deteriorate and every step was painful I did bypass. I am know going to work with Ortho doc to manage situation to get the wait off and see what my next step is. I am 4 weeks post op today and doing well except for my knees. -
Definitely call, just to be safe. I could have written this post. I have the same issues with pain and vomiting meat. I have already had the testing done and I am healed, no issues. The surgeon says my new stomach is just extraordinarily sensitive and that it will likely resolve itself over the next several months. I am 10 weeks out from my Gastric bypass.

Bread, too much food of any kind, rice and pasta. My dumping syndrome manifest by me getting too hot, getting a bad tummy ache and then lying down and falling asleep for 1-3 hours.

5 ft 7 or so results or progress pics anyone?
MrsB2007 posted a topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I want to see how many of you are near the 5 ft 7 height.... Lets see some result or progress pics. Thanks <3 -
I have been having a lot of GI problems over the last several month or so. The pain became unbearable this week, so I went to my dr and she thinks it's due to artificial sweetners. As I think about my diet, much of what I eat has these sweeteners in them. I will do anything to avoid the pain and bloating caused by the artificial sweetener, so I am looking for ideas on how to revamp my diet. I could care less about eliminating most of it, but I think I'm really worried about protein shakes because they are my go to item. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

I too had trouble. I has gotten easier as the weeks go by. My goal is to try and get off the fake sugar too! I used to have trouble with "splenda" before surgery but I can tolerate it now and I am 8 weeks out. I had to take lactose pills before drinking the Protein. It was still hard to get them down early on. Wish you luck in finding the right thing for you. I have had to keep trying new things.

Yikes, I have gained weight - 1st time!
babbs3772 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
As of June it will be two years since getting banded, for the first time I have gained weight -11lbs to be exact. I have never had this happen but I am not going to let it slide. I have an appointment in two weeks for a fill thankfully. I am refocusing on my diet and exercise - looking back to my old success from when I first got my band, I just need to take good look at what I have learned and reapply it once again :smile: -
I'm trying to make better food choices this week while decide on which surgery I want and just trying to eat better right now... I already have issues with migraines but it seems as though I have cut carbs and I'm just eating chicken and a vegetable I am getting these really bad headaches everyday and I think my body truly depends on having some sugar and carbs.. does anyone have this or did you or when does it stop, ate a piece of toast w butter and maybe it's in my mind but I think it helped.... not have any sugar for 3 days is really I think that been shock to my system... carb thing in my head or do y'all think that this is possible to have headaches from not having a carb or sugar

I am in Biloxi!!! I had my VSG 6 weeks ago and down 40 pounds!
-
Oh my, I could have written the same thing. You are describing exactly how I felt. Please know that you will feel much better very soon. The stapler site you're talking about hurt me for about 6 weeks, and one morning I woke up and the pain was gone. It was not unbearable pain, just annoying pain. The nausea went away before I left the hospital. I went home with a prescription medication for nausea, but didn't need it. I'm almost 5 months post-op and I've lost 70+ lbs, I feel wonderful and have no regrets at all. You will be fine!!!

Dr Tom Brown, Denver - $9,900, and very experienced
sadie11 posted a topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
There are lots of folks who have used Dr K but an alternative is Dr Brown also in Denver. He is great and his nurses are wonderful. He charges $9,900 and free fills for 6 months (I think). He operates at the same place as Dr K. and has done 1000 lap bands. The nurses go to your surgery also so they really know where your port is and how you did in surgery- very helpful. I have had great service from them and they are very aggessive with fills. No .02 cc's here. I have great restriction after 2 fills. I called two weeks after the first fill and asked for more and they booked me right in. My partner also got banded by Dr. Brown and has had the same great experience. Just my 2 cents! Love and success on your journey! Sadie -
I tried the Isopur drinks too & poured them out. Fortunately I only bought 3. I had to take an antibiotic that made me very nauseated. I bought unjury chicken broth. It settled my stomach & I got in some of my Protein allotment. You can only use hot Water that doesn't exceed 140 degrees because the powder will lump. I suggest you use whatever blender you have to mix the water & powder. I used a wisk & I had lumps. I have the small Ninja & it works well. Believe me, it gets easier. I'm 11 weeks out & very happy I had the Sleeve surgery. I'm wearing clothes that haven't seen the light of day in 3 or 4 years. I've already filled a trash bag with clothes to big to wear & sent it to Goodwill. Yay!!
