Recommended Posts

I just had the iBand placed 07/24/2014. Are there anymore like me out there?

I am a 28 year old female. I am 4'11" my BMI was 33.5 My pre op diet weight was 172. My surgery day weight was 168. Today I am 6 days post op and I am at 165. Am I on this journey alone?

If you are any type of band patient then post in the banders section as there are a lot of different types of bands ,you are not a gastric, sleeve Rny or other owls patient but you are a band patient I have talked with people that have plication with band and some of us are interested in the types of owls they do with the band now & for future patients ,they may be interested also, so jump on to the band site.

You are in good company -- some of Banders wish we had known about Plication. Not that we aren't doing beautifully, we are. But it seems like Plication reduces the need for fills. Keep chiming in -- we are glad you're here! Congratulations on your surgery, on choosing yourself and your healthy future.

@nerms-how are you feeling? I am one week post today and my shoulder pain is much improved, but my weight loss has only been 2lbs since surgery.. I know they say expect 1-3lbs per week so I am on track but with as little as I eat I figured it would be waaayy more. I have been weighing everyday and I think that is doing more damage than good. I think maybe I should only weigh on Thursdays. Any thoughts?

Hey Jess,

Definitely only weigh in once a week. You're only a week post op so chances are you're still healing and weight loss at this stage isn't expected. So that 2lb is a good thing. Just relax, give your body some time and you will see results :)

I'm fine, no shoulder pain anymore just pain at the incisions. I have to take my bandages off today so that will be fun. I haven't weighed myself and I don't plan on doing it any time soon!

      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.
