So I had my one month post op yesterday and I gained 2 pounds since my last visit..

Now be mindful I had zero in my band to start and he acted like I gained 20lbs through this whole thing including the the 6 month weight monitoring with him I have lost 60lbs. To me that's amazing. I am just 2 weeks post eating the soft food and I ate mostly mashed potatoes. He made me feel like a failure. =(

In the past I use to have anxiety with the scale in the Dr office and now with the way he talked down to me I know I'm going to do the same thing next month. Idk if he was having a bad day or what. But life is emotional roller coaster and a learning curve if my new band. I feel he was very harsh I could understand if I gained 10 plus. Maybe I'm over reacting or maybe he things this will put a fire up my ass and me say haha look..

So now that you have read mine I wanna read yours =)

My dr put 3.5 cc in mine at time of surg. Had it done 12-12-12. I lost everytime I went for a fill. I'm up to 7.5 cc now and ready for another fill. But trust me there r times I practically starve myself so I won't gain. It's not ez always making good food choices but I really try to. I need to keep potatoes and pastas out of my life. I'm a carb junkie. But I'm getting better at not eating them. It's tuff but if we wanna loose we gotta follow the rules or the surg will b a waste of time. I'm still trying to break old habits it just takes time. :)

1) It is totally normal to not lose/or gain weight before you have a fill! It's called "bandster hell"

DON"T beat yourself up for it

2) I don't want to be dissing your surgeon or anything but I think if there is another surgeon in that practice you should see someone else. If he makes you feel uncomfortable you'll never wanna walk back in there again- which is very bad for your bands health!

find another doctor. you must have a supportive heathcare partner, not someone who makes you uncomfortable or feeling like a failure. so many of us on this forum worry about failure, you don't need the doctor accusing you of that. don't forget, he works for you...he gets paid from your insurance carrier. if you weren't happy with anyone else who provides a service to you, you would get rid of them, right? same thing for this guy..

Your doctor was being harsh. If it were me, I would question the doctor next time you go in (maybe the doctor was having a bad day?). There is no reason for you to feel like a failure. Two pounds is nothing really.

Yeah he's an ass. He shoulda taken the time to explain your nutrition better.... Mushy phase should be Protein. Simple that's all he had to say.

and the 2 lbs could have easily been Water weight so no worries on that...everyone changes up and down daily...could have been the time of weigh in also?

I was up 2 lbs my last weigh in too...yes I was pissed but whatever...it will be ok

Literally my weight goes up and down by five. I'm already down 5 today so hopefully I will have a good weight loss at my weight in and I'll tell him look sorry that way doesn't work for my because I'm a crazy woman lol so fingers crossed. I'm going to follow his diet by a T. And I will start a food journal as of Monday. So If I do gain or not loss enough we can look together. Seeing this is what myself and my insurance company is paying for. I love my doc I think he had a bad day and i need to let him know I didn't appreciate it..

Thanks again guys I love my banded family =)

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
