Banded august still no weight loss



Recommended Posts

Track what you ARE eating and take it to your NUT. Also track time of day you are eating. Having a one on one conversation with your nutritionist will get you quicker results that listening to our suggestions. We couldn't possibly have all the information needed to effect change for you!

Good luck and keep us posted!

Btw, my gf didn't start losing until 2 YEARS after her band date and then it just dropped off!

I think I may have reached restriction ! Suddenly on Saturday evening my appetite dissipated , I am struggling to eat at the moment and have had hardly anything since then. I'm watching my Fluid intake and added in Vitamins. I am at 9.5 of a 14cc band so hopefully this is it. For the ones of you who took the time to support me with your helpful advice thank you, I will be staying on here and contributing and reading.

Did you ever get checked for a leak? Or possibly the band slipped? I'm not banded yet, but everyone's right.. something isn't matching up. Definitely eat more though because having just one meal a day isn't healthy and does not give you enough nutrients for your body to properly function or the keep your metabolism going either whether you have the LapBand or not. Go to your doctor and be adamant about finding out exactly what is going on and why it is not working for you.

No leak I've been losing just a pound a week until a month ago when my band went to 10.5 and in three weeks I lost nine pounds. I'm now up to 11cc and can at last feel restriction and the hunger has abated. It now fees as if I can actually do something

      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.
