Banded for 8 months and have lost 6.5 stone



Recommended Posts

I guys

I'm new to this 8months down and have lost 6.5 stone, and am delighted better than I ever cod if imagined. I knew I would lies but not this quickly, it has been really easy as well.

Have had 2 band fills and the last one has lasted since October.

This band fill has left me needing to consume very little which at first I thought was good

But my question is

Is it ?

Is it really healthy to live on so little?

Feeling confused

it sounds as if you are doing really good. i think most of us consume 1/2 cup to 1 cup of food 3 times a day. i also take a Multivitamin and vit. B12 vitb 50 Biotin and Calcium 1000mg and vit. d5000. and at least 60 grams of Protein a day. the Protein usually comes from food not supplements. but i do drink Protein Shake if i need the supplement. your body will let you know if something is wrong. are you getting blood work once in awhile to make sure you are chemically normal? i hope this is helpful

We are here for you. Like begets like. You are doing fantastic. You are not gaining weight are you.? I know just how you feel , even after almost 4 years. I eat very very little. I am so used to it. That's why quality is more important than quantity.. Crapy food in your mouth is just wasted time and calories, you wouldn't put bad gas in your car would you.? Or in your dog or cat.

And if you have been reading the post, you know how I feel about alcohol.

Keep up ALL the positive things in your life. Hugs

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
