Newly banded...question?



Recommended Posts

I was banded on march 7th and am going in for my first fill on April 7th. My question is this: is it normal for weight loss to stop when going from liquids to solids? I haven't lost an ounce since going to solids. I lost 14 lbs the first 2 weeks, but nothing since. Not sure if this is to be expected or not. Does this typically improve after a fill? Haven't really been working out much either. Just getting over pneumonia and regaining my strength/endurance. I'm sure exercise will help the situation. Thanx for any info/help.

having solid food after two weeks from surgery can give you a little stomach pain... and i think you should go with regular exercises ..this can help you to get the best good long term results..

Personally - when I moved to solids, I gained three pounds. I'm told by my doctor that this is normal, you'll shed those again. I had my first fill only the past Thursday. Keep moving, keep with your program. Good luck!

Great news! I did indeed start losing again. I STOPPED weighing daily or even weekly. I have decided weighing monthly is appropriate for me. I weighed on April 15, and am down 20 pounds total since surgery on March 7. Feeling better every day. Thanx for the supportive words????

      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.
