I had my surgery at the end of July also. I go for my 4th visit (maybe my 4th fill) on Saturday. I have lost around 40 lbs. Make sure your eating your protien first. I notice that when I eat like soups or mushie foods I can eat like 3 or 4 cups! No kidding, but when I eat solid protien I can usually feel satisifed within a few bites. I think I have 5.4cc's is my 10cc band.

Make the band work for you! It does work......My surgeon likes to see me every month regarless if im losing, need a fill ect... I also meet with a nut at the same visit. Keep a food diary for the first 2 months and see if that helps. my doc says that I need to be under 60 carbs (40 for faster loss) and keep protien around 60-80 grams....they say that fat should be around 35 grams...but mine tends to be a lot higher becuase I eat a ton of cheese!

 

4 months today and down 62 lbs. It's great to have this thread to see what others around the same time are doing. Thanks for keeping it going

Glad I stop on this forum today, I have been noticing more hair on the twoel i nthe morning and was curious.  My Dr. said this might happen but that is ok, it will stop and the health benefits will pay off!!!

I am glad you posted. I am not a doctor but I don't think you are eating enough. I would never skip a meal, even though it is tough to eat sometimes.
Can you try and drink the water between your meals?

Do you work in an office? I started bringing in a Styrofoam cup with ice and filling it throughout the day to get my water in. It stays pretty cold in the Styrofoam and it is right in front of me all day. It is funny, now I crave my water. I carry a glass of water everywhere I go. I did invest in some Styrofoam cups to keep it nice and cold.

Remember, I am definitely not a doctor or not judging in anyway. I have made my mistakes along the way and the people on this website have given me advice that I have taken and some that I have not. Not skipping meals was some advice I took along the way.

Good luck and let's keep posting! 

Hi All.

I am 4 months post op and since day one have been nausiated ever since. I have talked to both my surgeon and the nutritionist and we have tried to change my diet around by introducing/taking out certain items, changing the times when I eat, eating my lunch as breakfast etc... Nothing seems to work though.

Is anyone else experiencing this problem and what is helping (besides keeping a bottle of Pepto nearby)?

Thanks.
