4 Weeks Post Lap Band Surgery... Am I Eating Too Much?



Recommended Posts

Hello all!

I am 4 weeks out and I feel like I am not doing so well. I lost 26 lbs in my first two weeks but have gained a pound or two since.

I was extremely dehydrated at one point and just started drinking the correct amount of liquids.

I eat small portions of eggs, grits, cheese, or sandwich meat for Breakfast. Sometimes a mixture.

For lunch I will get a small sized plate and usually eat whatever I can get. A lot of Protein and very little of anything else.

Usually around dinner time I try to do the same as lunch, but sometimes I feel like it's just too much.

I have about 2 Snacks during the day (mostly cheese or sandwich meat).

I do not have a digital scale so I am not exactly sure HOW MUCH I am actually eating. I have just been eyeballing it on small plates. I definitely need a scale.< /p>

My biggest problem is that rarely after I eat I have a dull pain under my breast bone and I know it's from over eating. I have not had to throw up yet.... I am just super worried and need some support! I hope I am not messing this up!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
