NurseGrace 509 Posted June 7, 2013 I'm really sort of ashamed of how I ate post lapband removal. I went wild. Anything and everything I could get my hands on went in my mouth. I ended up over 300 pounds proir to having my sleeve. I'm doing well now but I had a lot of issues with food post lapband because I had been so sick all the time that when suddenly I could eat without immediate consequence I did. DO NOT DO THIS. I was 275 at the time of my removal, I gained over 25 pounds. If I hadn't gained that weight I would be closer to 200 pounds right now, not 239. You only set yourself back.

anggeorge 12 Posted June 9, 2013 Hi NurseGrace, You're on the right track now and I bet you look fantastic! I'm doing my best. A week and a half after surgery I started drinking three Protein drinks a day and one meal at night. I'm doing my best, but it's such a relief to not get sick when eating something. Oh and I can drink Water at night before laying down and not drowned in my sleep. In fact, my stomach actually growled for the first time in three years. GROWLED. I couldn't believe it. Thanks to all who responded. just 9 weeks to go... Angie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zaine20 9 Posted June 9, 2013 Ha! I think I have you all beat! I gained 55 lbs in 6 months. I ate so much bread and stuffed myself until the point where it hurt. When I had my lapband removed, I really didn't plan on getting the sleeve but a couple of months later, I realized I was back into my old habits. I just had my sleeve surgery on Thursday, June 6th and I am hoping this will be a much better experience than my band. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anggeorge 12 Posted June 10, 2013 Zaine20 - I think anyone who has had the lapband removed would struggle; I know I am. I know you'll emerge victorious! I can't believe that I am not sick anymore..or don't drown in my sleep if I drink Water after 5pm. What I don't like is feeling hungry...I didn't miss that. I have about 60 pounds to lose and I'm ready to begin. As soon I am completely healed from the band removal, I am joining my gym again. I tried to workout today, but found out I couldn't when I hurt myself doing a spin kick. Sigh. I am ready to be a slave to the elipitcal machine again; I miss it, even if it is 150 degrees here in Scottsdale. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
