checking in 4 months post op



Recommended Posts

Well I'm 4 months post -op and down 50 pounds. It feels great. I can't wait to lose more. I had my lap band surgery with Dr. Schuster at St.s Mary & Elizabeth in Louisville, Kentucky. Things couldn't have have been better. Little pain if any. Was very smooth. I've only had 2 fills so far. I get my 3rd fill next Wednesday the 12th.

is 50 pounds in 4 months decent? I kinda feel like I've stalled but - I know i'm getting another fill soon. I'm really wanting to hit 100 pounds lost in a year.

I am 4 mos post-op as well and have only lost 30 lbs. Everyone is different. I have my 3rd fill on 5/10. Hoping this will kick-start the weight loss a little more.

We're on similar schedules and I'd also love to lose the 100 within a year. I'm also feeling a little stalled and haven't really lost much over the past month. My third fill is in two weeks. Can you eat whatever you want right now? Do you get stuck? Just curious about how the second fill worked for others. Regardless, it sounds like you're right on track. Congratulations!

honestly I felt tighter after my first fill. my second fill felt like he loosened it. LOL

I get my third fill next wednesday the 12th. I went in for a fill 6 weeks ago and he turned me down for a fill - said he thought i had more to lose on the current fill. I didn't drop much since then less than ten. so I'm ready for my 3rd fill - I can't wait. I'm going to do liquids a day early hoping to jump start the losing.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
