Sick days or vacation
Louisianagirl replied to pamla68's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I would use sick days, I am sure you will be a little sore at least for a week. It all depends on how your employer lets you take your time. It also depends on your job. Do you have to move a lot (walk quick) because I found that my prt would get a little sore from walking too fast and too much for about the first few weeks. -
I am 5 months posts, I started losing more hair than I used to but, not enough to really complain about because I have very thick hair. I just started taking a hair vitamin this week but I also need to increase my protein. I have been lacking on that!

<p>Just was wondering if anyone's band ever slipped on this thread? It looks like everyone is doing really well. I worry so much that might band will slip, I guess I need to get this out of my mind. Am I the only one that does not have an exercise routine? It is so hard to fine the time after working a 12 hour shift. I hope everyone keeps the good work up. Have a great week!</p>

Sue sorry to hear about your lost, I lost a nefew a couple of weeks ago in a car crash. Hang in there. How is everyone doing with the weight loss, I haven't really been on in a while. Too busy with the summer. I feel like I am stuck. I have been picking on chips, something I really didn't do before. Well I will chat later. It looks like a few of what I seen are really doing well.

Are you sure you have a band? Where did you get it done at?

I have a 4cc band but I only have .9cc in mine and I am very satisfied. I don't think I will need one for a long time. Your doing great! -
Would you go through this for 45 lbs??
Louisianagirl replied to HelenC's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I would do it because its hard enough to keep it off once its off. -
Going on three years!!! Thoughts and Reflections
Louisianagirl replied to bushbaby's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I feel the same way I am down 42lbs I want to lose about 45 more. I should way between 130-145 with my height but I would be happy at 160. My husband tells me I am good the way I am, he likes a thick women...lol. -
Make sure they put you a band and not just a port. It happen to someone that goes to the same Dr as me. she went for a fill and did not have a band.

Jenn don't push the fill issue. If you are loosing 1-2 lbs a week , you are doing great. This is a life long change. My doctor said that people who think they have to be really tight are the ones who slip. She said if you are losing more than 8 lbs a month she will not give me a fill. So be careful you don't slip because then you will have to start all over. Give it time you will reach your goal soon enough. Good Luck!!!

I ordered the grape I will let you now how that one taste.

It could be muscle.

If you go to www.funpartiesinc.com , you can order from them and they send your stuff in brown wrapping. You or anyone else can tell what is in there. It comes private. It is a local buisiness where I live. They have some really nice things....lol. If you know what I mean.

How did you find out about the Band?
Louisianagirl replied to lisah25's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I think I had first seen it on 20/20 on TV. -
Hi to everyone in Jersey, I will be visiting your state at the end of July (Highland, NJ). You are all really great people. I have a cousin that lives there, it will be my 3rd time there. Can't wait!

Well I went under unjury.com and they recommended me I need like 60 grams of protein a day according to my body weight and height. So I guess as the weight drops I will need less. I guess my Dr is right. If I get down to the weight I want to be, I should hardly need any protein according to the unjury site.

I sure agree with you. The cellulite looks better dark that bright white.

Louisianagirl replied to JA4602's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
If you feel you can tolerate it, take it slow and try. -
You are all a trip, I would love to beable to get together with all of you and have drinks and a girly chit-chat.

The liquid Whey taste a little better cold, I keep mine in the fridge. Let me know how the blue one taste, I never tried that one and yes I should have said it does taste a little weird but it does not take much to get it down. I can live with that.
-
Oh really!
-
My dietition also said between 60-70 grams of protein. If you don't get enough, you take a chance of your hair falling out and losing mostly muscle instead of body fat. I would think the dietition would know better than a doctor.
