Weight loss before first fill



Recommended Posts

Hi, when I first started my weigh-ins I was at 220 lbs. Seven months later 10 days before surgery, I was at 208. The day of surgery (2/19/19), I weighed 200 lbs. My first post appointment after lapband (about a week after surgery) I was 193. My first fill-in is on 3/25 and I currently weigh 187. For those who've had the lapband done, does my weight loss seem okay so far? Also, any tips you can give after receiving my first fill in? As of now, I've been feeling good. Yes, I did vomit about 3 times but that was for trying to speed up the eating process. I've learned my lesson and now am understanding the eating adjustment that's neccessary. Any tips are appreciated.

By the way, I'm a teacher and have been nominated for a free cruise. I am so proud of mysef for thinking of my health and having bariatric surgery. This would be an amazing present after this journey. If you're able to copy and paste the link below and vore for me. Feel free to post snd share it on fb.

      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.
