I am 78 lbs lighter and still can't do the treadmill..however, I can do 60 minutes of water aerobics. it is easier on the joints and the brain. Good Luck

So I Never Followed Up Here After Surgery...because I Didn't Want To Scare People
sweetpea61956 commented on Pats Fan in MA's blog entry in Pats Fan in MA's Blog
You are awesome! Good luck in your new journey! -
these are GREAT...I probably won't get things like that..unfortunately at 55, my skin is going to show my age more, the more weight I lose.

Eating Two days after surgery
sweetpea61956 replied to abphilippi's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I saw my doctor after a week and he told me I could increase my schedule. I still haven't had a fill. Since my last appt..I think I have lost about 7 lbs which is as good as I was doing but then again, I have only been to the gym once in the 5 weeks. Listen to your body and check in with your surgeon. Everyone is different -
I don't know that to tell you but I wish you luck.

Feeling like a big lazy slob today!
sweetpea61956 replied to abs6angels's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
did you eat them because you were hungry or because they were good. I find sometimes..I want to eat more than I should just because...not because I am hungry -
if there is a True Results in Dallas, I personally think that is the way to go. The aftercare and support they offer is awesome. I am 55 and had my surgery in May. Good Luck!

Low BMI Success Stories?
sweetpea61956 replied to Band. James Band.'s topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
so far so good and I haven't had a fill...but losing the weight has never been a real big problem for me...its the keeping it off...so here's to never having to lose those I just lost again! -
I will eat a chicken thigh and maybe a corn tortilla with cheese.. sometimes fish. I have had steak but find that is like a once a month thing because I want to eat too much.

Low BMI Success Stories?
sweetpea61956 replied to Band. James Band.'s topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
only you can decide which is best for you...but...in my opinion...I would rather have the band that can be removed if necessary than have the cut our part of my stomach. I love my band! -
UPDATED I need to complain to people who will understand
sweetpea61956 replied to Rachel412's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I read it all too...I was banded May 26th and although I have changed PA's, I am actually lucky because I like the new one better than the first one. I don't know if you can, but maybe you can find where the other PA went and move to them. It is so important to have a team you trust and like. Know I am thinking about you and wishing you the best. -
No fills and still large weight loss ?? How ??
sweetpea61956 replied to Nicole0425's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I haven't had a fill, had my surgery on May 26th.. I lost 24 from Feb to May...but am down a total of 70 since Feb. I do it by watching my portions and what kind of food I eat. In my old way of thinking it would be a diet, but with my new way of thinking it is my lifestyle change. I figure sometime, when my loss slows down, I might need a fill..but for now its all good. Good Luck -
60 min to eat 1/2 cup?????
sweetpea61956 replied to kimmc's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was told 30 minutes. -
and not everyone has fills that often either. everyone is different.. I haven't had a fill yet..and I know I am in a minority.

Swelling over port incision
sweetpea61956 replied to bobrocky's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I really didn't watch it that much. If it hurt I noticed but I know it was swollen for some time. sorry I can't be more help but if it hasn't changed since your surgeon saw it, I wouldn't worry..or if you feel better go to your surgeons office. -
Feeling fat oh i am
sweetpea61956 replied to hdavis72's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
that means your brain is still fat, but it will get thin, just let it catch up. Good job & good luck! -
I looked into the other options...not alot but enough to know that I wanted the procedure that was least invasive and reversible. My down time for this was minimal. had surgery on Thursday and was back to work the Tuesday after a Monday holiday...I could have gone back on Monday, if I had needed to. Everything is going to have naysayers.
