FLORIDAYS replied to LeslieW's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have been banded for 25 months and maintaining just a few months so am in now way a success at maintaining but based on how the last. 2 months have gone I can see how easy it will be to live with the band.... Nice to see a positive article on long term effects...thanks for posting -
Best Tuna salad I have ever had...
FLORIDAYS replied to bar2373's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Tuna alone is a bit too dry for me too but I mix it with fat free creamy ceaser salad dressing..... It's moist and yummy -

Weight watchers and the band
FLORIDAYS replied to wozzicat's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Personally I do not get the point of joining a diet program when I have the band, my NUT's and my drs orders to follow, a calories tracker on my phone and my own will power to be successful... I dont need to complicate it.... But thats just me... -
Just curious...is Dad paying for your band? Because if he isn't.... I sure would not worry about it. Remember he isn't as educated about it as you are.

ok...i'll ask.....How many calories in a slice of this cake?
-
My reputable surgeons would want you to wait... it would be a shame to have to have 2 surgeries.
-
Great post.... no flaming here... I believe the biggest misconception is that people think the band will do 100% of the work... when in fact the band only does about 70%. We HAVE to so the rest.

Consultation today!!
FLORIDAYS replied to karanicole26's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
This isnt their first rodeo so if you have a good practice then will give you all of the financial info upfront. As for the Dr... I would ask him everything under the sun... about pre op diets, post op diets, eating as a bandster, does he have any rules on things like carbonation and straws, what his follow up appointments are like, his stance on fills.... everything from A-Z -
If your Dr allows sugar free popsicles you may enjoy because you need to chew them....that and my chewable Vitamins were the highlight of my day. LOL Hang in there!

Painful chest tightness
FLORIDAYS replied to shaunamswenson's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sounds like it but with chest pains you cannot be to careful....if they are quite severe I would Call 911. We aren't medical professionals and I would hate for someone to misdiagnose you. -
Just curious....do you count your protien shakes as part of your calorie intake or is that considered a freebie?
-
Fabulous.... Congrats!!!
