Hello LWs. I went to a nutrition meeting this morning at my clinic ad kind of felt guilty or something for being there. I was the smallest person in the room besides the RDN giving the class. It was almost like I shouldn't be here. I can do this with out revision. Just get the band out and move forward. But I have gained most of my weight back even with the band due to not being able to hold down dense protein. I have gone back to carbs and soft foods that I know will not come right back up. Anyway I felt like everyone was staring like I didn't need to be there. maybe its all in my head and the witch in my head just wants me to feel like I'm fine and I do not need to lose any weight and am good the way I am. UUGGG Am I the only LW that has felt this way?
Lap band 5/2010 lost 37 lbs regain 22.
5/19/17 Surgery consult 201.6 lbs
6/15/17 approved by insurance(started liquid diet) 194.7lbs
6/28/17 Surgery weight 184.4
Congrats and Awesome!!!!!
It doesn't sound like you are having a problem getting the pills down...that's good. I struggled with that at the beginning.
Share your Menu if you have time. It's good for the newbies to see what and how much other posters are getting in.

Hello everyone, I am 4 days postop and doing great!
I had my surgery on Friday at Toronto Western Hospital with Dr. Timothy Jackson and everything went perfectly he was very happy and said he expects but I will have great results.
I've never taken so many pills in my life between the medications and the vitamins but I've made a chart to help me to keep on track with everything so that's working out OK. I'm slowly starting to get in all the food I need, as I don't have a lot of interest in it but I know that it's important in the healing so I really want to do everything I can to ensure the best recovery possible.
including the weight I lost before hand and while on Optifast I'm already down 22 pounds which I'm pretty darn happy about. I plan on keeping this momentum going and doing all I can to make the most of my honeymoon phase.
I don't come on this board very often but when I do there's always great support here. Thank U all for that and I hope one day to be support others as I continue my journey

We are glad you found our LW Board too!! Congrats on your RNY!!!! Let us know how your first meeting went. You will probably found out how much others have lost (and how fast) but it's best if you don't compare yourself to others. The weight will come off at your own pace.
