Loss since band: 41.8kg



Hi Just wanted to say hi and to let you know I was banded recently 29/02/08. Pre banding I too started on the shakes not the my Dr requested it I just wanted to be sure I had done everything I could pre-surgery, and it payed off ! I had no problems with the procedure and was thankful I had done some work before hand. Pre shakes my wt was 122kg I am 170 cm tall too, I somehow managed to drop down 8 kgs before the op taking my starting wt to 114kgs. It is day 7 post op for me today yay ! I havent scales to weigh myself yet but feel well and ready to get moving next week ( tommorow lol) I just wanted to wish you both all the very best. Those first few days I found sore, but each day I got stronger and now only have minor soreness when I bend, which is entirely acceptable.
I am not far along as other bandies but if I can help drop me a line by all means.
and remember
You Can Do It !
cheers

That’s terrific Deborah! Good to see someone with similar stats. Awesome effort to lose 8kgs on Opti – how long were you on it for? Having not even lost 1kg in 5 days I’m guessing I wont be anywhere near that figure – oh well!
All the best for your recovery
Em
I went on Tony Ferguson shakes just because I do happen to like the expresso coffee
I think alot was water, and (TTOTM) so dont be too disappointed you may not be carrying as much as I was Em, I was on them in total for 17 days. The headaches are killer but think of them as a positive towards ketosis, even if you lose a little it is still better than not having tried at all. I think you will find it gets better, drink your water, kill the headaches and be extra kind to yourself, your body is doing the best it can. Hey and you have a good headstart on me I am 44, I wish I had done this years ago ! I am here if you need me.
Thanks for the kind wishes, today I feel Great !

HI Ladies,
I too have had lapbans surgery. I was banded on the 7/8/08, I was going great guns until the last 3 wks. I have lost a total of 15 kgs but havent lost anything in 3 weeks. Am I alone, or is it harder than what I thought it was going to be? I just cant seem to stay away from the junk food and the coke, I was doing well I hadnt had coke since july pre surgery and all of a sudden I find myself having a glass every nite with dinner. Can anyone suggest some easy ans family friendly recipes? I find it hard to cook what I can eat and wat the rest of the family wants to eat.
Cheers
LIsa
