Hi Angi, I was also banded in November. I have lost 36 pounds so far. Not stellar, by my own standards but I am not complaining. I have a 10 cc band that was primed with 5 cc and have had one adjustment and received 1/2 cc for a total of 5 1/2 cc. I feel as if I am very close to my sweet spot. Right on the bubble. Some days I think I need a tiny push more, others, I think I don't need any more... I don't know, at this point! LOL Anyway. For me, I don't feel "restriction" I feel balanced, satiety for hours after eating, I get satisfied on about 3/4 c. of food, stop eating and that is it for me for at least four hours forward. I eat a couple of times a day. Rarely three. I am just not interested in "three squares". My band doesn't hurt me, it doesn't fight with me, I don't fight with it. I don't get stuck, I don't PB, slime or feel pain. I can eat the foods I choose to eat with reasonable exceptions. I choose to exclude soft, doughy breads, steak and pork chops and so forth from my diet for obvious reasons. I also avoid celery, woody stemmed veggies and so on. Other than that, nothing I want is off the table. I eat Pasta, rice, popcorn (as a treat) I just had clam chowder for lunch. The clams went down just fine with plenty of chewing. I was a famous volume eater before my band. I could put away huge quantities of food in huge bites, in record time. Plug me in and call me Hoover. I could suck it down like a vacuum. Empty my stomach and go back for more. Yep. Epic eater. That was me. My band has freed me from that nonsense. It hasn't "cured" my head hunger but it has given me the physical stop that helps me remember not to push past the point I must not exceed. And I just don't do it. It's bloody marvelous! I am free of food jail. I am not obsessed. I forget about it until I get so hangry that I have to stop and feed myself my little bandster meal then I get on with my day. I love my Little Silicone Friend. I have named her Draca. She is my dragon. My guardian, my power center. My companion in this battle. I couldn't do this without her.

aug 12 been sleeved
cinderella123 replied to ladiebashful's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved on 8/10/11. I had 1 day stay in hospitial. I slept the majority of the first 3 days. Yesterday was the first day able to stay awake all day. Each day has gotten better and seem to get more energy with each day. It was almost like recovering from a very bad case of the flu (in regards to energy level). I go and have staples removed tomorrow. I find it difficult drinking the G2 as I was a devoted water drinker prior to surgery. As each day passes I am able to get in more fluids. I was very concerned about making sure I took in enough fluids. So far so good. Plan to return to work on Wed. My husband and I went downtown and walked through the shops today and had a wonderful time. I was able to make in through several shops and had a great time spending time with my husband. Also love the antique shops -
Do my toes. I need to do that tonight, but I don't know when b/c we have dinner plans until pretty late. I'm starting to get what I call "ghetto toes". You know... where the polish is half chipped off, one or two broken nails, etc. I would normally go shopping but I'm trying not to b/c I just bought a bunch of clothes that are getting too big. Right now it's not a problem because of school. Four months' worth of class in 10 weeks. We have an assignment due every day. I need to spend more time cleaning. How about a hobby? I can always pull out my easel and paints, or my camera, or some clay and waste away a few hours. I'm not big on games but there are a few I can play for an hour or so before I get bored. Any movies you've been wanting to see? Anything for the 4th you can start doing early?

Blood Pressure Meds- When were you able to quit taking post op?
NovaLuna replied to Tim C's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Funny story actually... my PCP took me off my blood pressure meds a few months after my surgery because I was experiencing dizzyness and she suspected it was low blood pressure (phone appointment due to pandemic). However, the dizzyness didn't get better after I was taken off my blood pressure meds and just got progressively worse. On top of that my tachycardia shot through the roof because I was taken off my BP meds and I had a constant headache from what I KNEW was high blood pressure. My doctor immediately put me back on my meds when I saw her in her office and my blood pressure was 196/114 with a heart rate of 133. I started doing PT for dizzyness to try and figure out what was triggering it (which it started toward the end of February 2020 and a year later is just as bad and they STILL don't know what's causing it) and we discovered something really strange... the diastolic (lower number) dropped when I sit up or get up. Literally, a whole 10-15 drop. No idea what causes it, but it's likely one of the issues with my dizzyness. The one bright side is... I don't take the meds as MUCH. I used to take them every other day (I know that's weird but my BP dropped too low if I took it every day so my doctor said it was fine to do that since it worked) but now I take them every three days and my BP has been under control (other than the weird thing with the diastolic number dropping when I sit up or get up). However, I don't think I'll EVER be off my BP meds. -
anyone else afraid to tell anyone about having the surgery?
sugrbear replied to skierhj's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I made the decision not to tell anyone in my family about the surgery for several reasons. My husband of course knows because bless his soul, he handed me the cash to have it done, since I don't work any longer. Anyway, I felt like I had put a certain amount of pressure on myself to succeed with the band since my husband worked so hard to give this to me, if it isn't going to work, it can't be because I gave up or didn't try. My daughters would actually be very supportive but live 1700 miles away with my grandkids and this was something I didn't want them worrying about right now. They can't be here physcially for me and I know they would want to. I also didn't want the other people I know back there and here wondering, did I lose weight, how much, etc etc,, I don't want it to be a consuming thing. I recently told a newbie, learn to "live" with your band, not be "consumed" by it, which I think could very easily happen, especially in the beginning when we are just learning how to live with it. I also truly beleived before I got the band, it was just what they said, a "tool" and I was going to have to work my butt off even with the band. So as I lose weight if people ask me how I am doing it I am going to simply say, I am eating better, living better, taking better care of myself, because you know what I am. My husband and I discussed this, and he really thought I should tell my girls, but we didn't, later I found out he forgot we decided to tell no one at all, and I walked into his office several weeks after surgery to "how do you feel?",, "you look good",and didn't understand why, he has 10 women who work for him,,, turns out he told them about my surgery,, It upset me he told them, it has made me not want to go back into his office because I dont want them to look and wonder, etc,, you know what I mean. It is an odd feeling, and I know these girls,, they are nice,, but it seems strange now. anyway,, that was my way to handle it.. Maybe later I will change my mind, who knows only time will tell. So far I was banded on March 28, had my first fill on April 24 and am doing great, I have lost steadily since day one, and am happy. I work out 3-4x week and have had no negatives yet. I eat well, food I like and feel no restriction but am losing. -
How long before you were able to kick BP Meds to the curb? I have been on them about 10 years and have had some really low readings at times since surgery. I also suspect they create a little weight gain. Looking forward to being off these in the near future! -
Hey there - I was banded 10/6 and gas pains creep up around my left shoulder blade at times. My husband rubs and gently pounds on my back. Helps a lot. What are you eating?

A girl I met on this site got banded at 19. Sure she wasn't mature, but she worked the band and lost the weight, and it changed her life. She went from being the one that guys walked all over, and the one that people would treat like crap, to being confident, happy and sure of herself, whose confidence shone through. I wish I'd had the option of arresting my weight gain at a young age, so I don't feel like my healthier, fitter self only came into existence in my late 30s. I think if there's been a history of not being able to lose, and the prognosis is that the teen would likely be overweight all their life, then I think helping them sooner rather than later would be beneficial to them. Because it's obvious from this site that age and maturity isn't what makes you prepared for the band.

America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves. --Abraham Lincoln Go read the Patriot Act 1 and 2 and tell me who has been actively destroying America. Tell me who the real domestic terrorists are. I got news for you, your freedoms, they have already been seriously eroded or destroyed by your administration. The same administration whose decisions John McCain voted to upheld 90% of the time. The folks who have plunged this country and the world in the worst economic crisis in history, the folks who are spending 10 billion a month in a war we entered under false pretend, the folks who declared it unlawful to show American soldiers coffins and funerals to keep the public ignorant, the folks who made the torture of Americans legal, never mind our prisoners of war. The folks you can thank for America slipping far down the world ratings in terms of education, healthcare, sciences. Those are the people who are destroying America and their names are Bush, Cheney and yes McCain who did stood up 10% of the time and aquiesced the other 90% of the time because it served his interests!

Liquid Tylenol and Liquid Advil where do you buy it???
sagreenia replied to losethemess's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
We have a store here in my town called fred meyer and they sell a kroger brand liquid childrens tylenol. I have to take 4 tsp to get 650mg. it is bubble gum flavored and there are no sugar free types, it tastes so sweet! but that is what I have used,you go thru that little bottle pretty fast too, I only used 2 doses a day and yesterday was my first day of nothing needed! I was banded 10 days ago. So far down 14 lbs, WOW. -
I just had to ring in and share some lessons I've been learning throughout my short journey so far (Banded April 28th) I know and am open to learning more but wanted to share in the hopes of helping others in their journeys through lap-band-land. Things I've learned: 1) I don't blame my lack of weight loss on my band, it cannot force me to exercise or eat the right things. 2) I don't give all the credit of my current weight loss to my band either, I still have to monitor my calories and nutrients to continue to lose. 3) My skin will sag if I don't do weight bearing exercises to offset this, and in areas where my fat is concentrated (for me its my INNER thighs...) I will still have some residual sagging skin. 4) Unless I get a boob job, my breasts will sag and never be 'perky' again...this is meaningful to me, to others its not, and I respect that. 5) If I PB, I don't curse the band, I curse myself. 6) I love my band, I love the choice I made, some days are better than others, I accept that and I do not dwell on the bad (even though its hard sometimes) 7) I am learning everyday about things I can and cannot eat. I can eat things others that are banded can't just as others can eat things I cant. 8) I get my fills when I need to, i.e. if I'm not losing, I don't go on a timed schedule. 9) I've had a bad fill experience (overfilled) I had some taken out and have been fine every since. I don't blame my fill doc, or myself for not noticing right away, but I learned from the experience. 10) I respect everyones individual journey, I think everyone needs to take responsibility for their own weight gain/loss. IMHO, the lap band has made many unhealthy people healty. Like anything, everyone handles change differently and each person has their own individual expectations. I sincerely admire everyone who is on this journey and respect your choice to change....GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE!!

Based on my drs. guidelines...I will be on liquid for 10 days then moved to STAGE II (mushy food). So...I am trying to prepare for that this coming Friday. Headed to grocery store this afternoon if anyone has any suggestions. KBR

Georgia, you said it best! Fat brain still reigns over me! I still think I need to shop in the plus section, and find it foreign to shop in Misses...I'm a size 6 M/S. It funny how we get so used to the way things are/have been and how it takes us so long to adapt. Whenever I try clothes on, I always get a 6,8 and 10, because my Fat Brain says 'A 6 is WAY too SMALL!', guess what, it never is! It's the same way when I go grocery shopping, or cook, or go out and order food at a restaurant. My Fat brain says 'you need MORE' 'That portion is WAY too SMALL!', guess what? I usually have TONS of left-over...I'm almost a year and a half out, am still losing, and still have a VERY Fat brain! Just ignore it, it may never go away, but your body knows better! Congrats on your loss so far!

I did the pre-op diet but compared to others mine was pretty easy...but not easy for me!! 3 shakes per day, with 2 lean/healthy meals per day. A lot of restrictions and stuff, but I lost 10 pounds in 2 weeks. My friends/family that did not approve of the surgery were so quick to say see - if you just change your diet you will lose weight without the surgery. But the pre-op diet and post-op diet are not diets that you can live by...it's preparation/healing. Because trust if I could do this on my own, I wouldn't have spend $15K of my own money to have the surgery! If anything the pre-op diet encouraged me and I was able to see that I have the power to do anything I want...and the surgery is helping me get to where I want and need to be. So stay positive and good luck!!!

Uhhh... that's surprisingly accurate. Our cable modem was down one night, on the same night that I had a school project due. Out of desperation I used one of the free AOL cds. I must have said "just cancel the account" at least 10 times - and that's a conservative guess. I tried to be polite, but that didn't last too long. I've been in a bind with internet connection since then, and I just pack up my laptop and head to Starbuck's or something... heck, evem McD's here has wireless in the lobby, and I'd rather sit in greasy quarter pounder air than deal with AOhell. BTW, I used to work in a call center - not on the phones, but I ran their training program. When one of our executives left, someone from AOhell took their place. Person made a lot of changes. Our customer satisfaction numbers were never lower. Our customers kept saying, "Forget the smile, just give me an answer. How come no one there can answer my questions any more?"

That is an awesome feeling, isnt it? I got excited last night. We were at our Friday night Bible Study at church and my pastor usually has to order me a 3x (the place that does our tshirts xs-2x are the same price. The 3x is a special order. He had to wait to put it in because of polos that needed to be ordered too. My cousin said try the 2x on. It fit! I went to my pastor and said look I dont have to get you to special order for me anymore! THAT was an awesome feeling! SW 350 (11/15) BSW 260 (10/17/17) CW 217.6 (1/22/18) RGW 199 GW 175

T.I.P.S. - To Insure Proper Service A tip is earned wages, not expected. I worked really hard as a waitress for a long time, and I did rely on my tips to pay my bills. I feel like there are so many places/people that expect them. I try to tip well, but it depends on the service I get. I think that $2.15 an hour for wait staff is rediculous for the amount of work that goes into it. I've never been one to do anything fancy with my hair, just get it cut. I leave between $5 - $10 as a tip - but personality plays a part. If someone just cuts my hair and say have a nice day, I consider that poor service. I could have the best hair cut of my life, but if they don't say a word to me, or smile even, I take that into consideration.

I tip my hairstylist 20%. She is the shop owner but by no means rolling in the money. Overhead is MURDER!! If I don't like service at a restaurant I try to give the waitress benefit of the doubt. Everyone has off days and as long as they are trying thats what matters. If I really was unhappy with the service I will drop the tip to 10-15% if I like it its at least 20%.

Wow gottobeme! Congrats! I struggled with losing weight pre-surgery (especially during the holidays.) I was down about 14 lbs going into surgery, which felt good as my surgeon requested a 10-15 lb loss. I actually considered the lap band in Oct 2010, but decided to post-pone as my life was too hectic. I waited a whole year to make sure I was ready, and I am glad I made that decision.

Hi to all. I've been lurking for some time now and I just wanted to say 'hi' and get involved on the board as I am getting my VSG done this morning (Monday, 1/18/10 at 7:30am). I'm nervous, excited, anxious, nervous and more nervous!! I've been up all night - can't sleep and I've read enough to know that the next few days won't be too much fun but I know it's all for the greater good. I do have to get a little sleep so just a quick bit of info about me - my highest weight was 451 lbs back in April 2009. I've researched WLS options and came upon the VSG alternative and it finally was the solution that I felt comfortable pursuing. I started my liquid Diet on 12/4/09 at a weight of 434 lbs and today - my surgery weight - is 379.4. Because of my extremely high weight, I went on the full liquid diet in advance so I could get a head start losing weight as I was worried about my mobility post-op. So - this should be interesting. I can't believe I'm really doing this... Note: I'm also Self Pay (my insurance only covered the band and I wasn't interested in that option) so this decision was not made lightly for multiple reasons. But I do know that based on all the good results I see from this site and my group sessions at my hospital, it will be the best investment I'll ever make... so, I'm not sure when I'll be able to signon again but I'll be looking forward to being a newbie 'sleever' and gaining all the knowledge from everyone's vast experience. And thanks again for all that you do share on this forum - it's been an amazing place to visit for months now and you guys really feel like a family. Have a great day and pray for me!!!

I'm 5'2. My highest weight was 215. I was 196 the day of surgery. I'm 185 as of today 10 days out. I don't think my height had any negative play in how I was after surgery.. It did however make getting into the hospital bed fun. Lol. I am now looking into the future with hope and excitement of how my life is changing.
