I had my surgery may 27th......so that makes me......a little over 2 weeks. I am getting hungry but I can only eat about 3-4oz. I am almost consumed with finding and eating enough Protein. It seems like thats all i've been concentrating on since surgery. I guess I am too vain and don't want my hair to fall out (LOL). It's funny because I don't think about food the same way I used to. It's just something I have to deal with in order to get by. It sometimes is an inconvenience, so I deal with it 3x a day and get it over with as quickly and safely as possible. AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT FEELS THIS WAY?????? Christina40, I forgot about deli meat!!!!!! I've done everything else except deli meat duh!! The reynold's storage containers are awesome; they've been a life saver for me. Oh yeah today was scale day and I'm now down to 217lbs. YEAH!!!!! Goodluck ladies and again, WE CAN DO THIS!! XOXOXOXOXOXO - KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

Congrats on the weight loss - u go gurl! Yup I agree - I look at food totally different and obssessed with all the ingredients - especially the protien!

Keep in Touch - we can follow each other's progress.

PS. - My hubby hid the scale - no weigh in until next Sunday - I am down 26lbs since my surgery!

Christina40,

(mouth dropped wide open!!!!!) I can't believe you've dropped that much weigh so far. I am so happy for you and........jealous. I've only lossed 8 lbs but I'm still work in progress; i'll get there eventually. I start weight training next week so hopefully that will help with some weight loss. My weigh in is on sunday too. I will let you what my scale says and please let me know how you are doing too.

Sorry - let me clarify - I lost 7 pounds pre-op diet and 19 pounds since the surgery - but thanks!

You are doing great - I remind myself all the time that I didn't put it on in 3 weeks - I am just so anxious to see result!

Hello All!

I am new to Lapbandtalk.com - I was recently banded in Juarez MX by Dr. Jose Rodriguez - so far so good! I am in Stage 3 purees/mushy food as of today 6/11/08 - taking it nice and slow.

Including my pre-op diet a week before my surgery until today I have lost 25lbs! My energy is skyrocketing and I can hardly believe what a difference I feel!

I have purchased several resource books that I have found to be useful - "The Lapband for Life" by Dr. Ortiz, "Before & After" by Susan Maria Leach and "Weightloss Surgery for Dummies". (lots of recipes and helpful hints)

I am thrilled to find this helpful forum for support!

Christina:wink_smile:

Congrats! I am going on July 1st to Dr. Rod as well! I hope I have as great of a success as you!:biggrin:

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
