YES' date=' PLZ DONT TALK 2me! Bully[/quote']

I will never understand why people come on this forum, admit that they are cheating on their diet, and expect people to say that is ok. Missy was simply stating that you aren't doing yourself any good by not following your post-op diet. Yes it is difficult and can be trying at times, but no one ever say getting the band was going to be easy. Breaking your instructions this early on isn't going to make you successful in the long run.

I will also never understand why grown adults have to resort to name calling. Totally uncalled for.

Wow is all I can say. "I know it's bad for me"...and then get all indignant when people tell you exactly how bad, yet in a very polite way.

Mis...you are SUCH a BULLY for trying to keep people informed and healthy...there's some real nut jobs out there...and you're certainly not One of them

Can someone tell me what it feels like when you start food. What is the full feeling like? I know i am just 4days post op and still sore but feel like i have a lump in my throat when aybe i drink too fast.

It sounds like your overfilling to me, or more specifically taking in fluids faster than they can drain through the hole created by the band. Try drinking more slowly I spent a lot of time pre-op practicing drinking more slowly. You may need to take some specific steps to retrain yourself to adjust to smaller portions. You might try drinking all of your liquids like Soup. Pour them into a bowl and use a small spoon to drink them. This may also help trick your lower brain functions into thinking your eating more. Also when you eat try using chopsticks and a baby spoon. It will slow you down, limit your bites, and if your not proficient with chopsticks the mental focus should help distract you from the hunger and help you recognize when your full faster.

I was banded the 19.$ we are supposed to feel hungry. Our band is in place but it will start to do its job after we get a fill. I mixed my liquids w meats. I also was starving. I know it's ad for me, but I sometimes eat a oil bit of regular foods. I have children. I need energy.

What Protein did u get? Does it taste good?

I NEVER ASKED ANY QUESTIONS. I MADE A COMMENT IDIOT

I HAVE SEEN HOW U BULLY PEOPLE HERE, ESPECIALLY THE NEW ONES. GET A LIFE OR A NEW BAND, IDIOT

YES, PLZ DONT TALK 2me! Bully

Leslie,

You offered some terrible advice to a new member. I'm thankful one of our members jumped in to correct you. Mixing liquids with meat ?! (WTF?) Don't provide our members with (bad) advice that goes against everything we've been taught will harm our bands.

Also, name calling will get you permanently banned. Please read out terms of service. If you have an issue with a post, REPORT it please. Do NOT respond.

At least I didn't cheat my health insurance like hundreds here. I paid for my surgery cash and I didn't have to leave USA to have it done!

Angry much? If you have the attitude that we all cheated by having the lap band, then I am certain that you are going to struggle with your weight loss. And if you paid for your surgery yourself with cash, why wouldn't you follow your instructions from your doctor??

There are many support sites out there but you can't expect people to coddle your bad behavior, both in regards to your lap band and your attitude towards other members.

Good luck with your future. Just remember, a positive attitude will take you a long way!

I for one appreciate the "bullies" on here who aren't afraid to tell it like it is. I'm pre-op and have a lot to learn. I hope the "bullies" will help me with any questions that I may have.

This definitely isn't the place for name calling, we are all here to support one another. If someone gives bad advice, there shouldn't be a problem with with pointing it out. But ultimately your doctors opinion is the one that matters.

The one thing that has amazed me about this site is the amount of people who don't follow their doctors orders. You trust them to cut you open and implant a device in your body. But as soon as you can't eat a steak a week post op you question his rules? (This isn't directed at anyone who has posted on this thread, but I have seen someone this ridiculous on a different one). Personally I chose a surgeon who has performed over 4,000 Lap-Band surgeries because I believe that HE knows how to help ME succeed.

I will be spending $13,000 of MY money, but I will be following HIS rules, even if I don't always want to.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
