Struggle To Get In Enough Calories
Holly Dolly replied to DELETE THIS ACCOUNT!'s topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
When I was first banded in Feb 2011, my dr's office said 3 meals a day and no snacking. Now they are saying that 4 meals is fine. I guess it is what works for you. Usually it is 4 meals that work for me! -
Struggle To Get In Enough Calories

I wouldn't worry about it if you are below 1000 calories a day. My dr told us to stay between 800-1000 a day. -
How Many "perfect" People Are Out There?
Holly Dolly replied to marfar7's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
It has taken me 16 months for me to get to the point where the band has limited the amount I can eat. I would not have been as successful as I have been had I not weighed and measured everything out. I wish I could say I would have gotten there quicker but it is what it is! I have gotten so used to doing it, I don't think twice any more. -
and you look smaller than an 18!!! Nice jeans! -
YOU LOOK AMAZING!!!! -

I would def get in sooner than July 11th! My first few fills were only 2 weeks apart. How many calories are you eating a day? -

Stop Askiing How Much Wieght I Lost
Holly Dolly replied to hookieluv's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
29 pounds is way more than I was down in 6 weeks! I was only down 13 the first month. You are doing amazing. When people ask you, just say....."Sure am!" and leave it at that! -
A huge congrats to you!

I go through periods where I make pizza all the time. I have been having it on flat bread too. I made my own pizza using premade dough from Fresh &Easy and measured out my 2 ounce portion. I use regular jarred pizza sauce since it' only 30 calories for /4 cup. Way less calories though from my flat bread since it was only 70 calories for half a piece, a whole piece is about 8x10 inches.

sometimes eggs go down a little slow. But the last 2 days I have mixed 2 eggs with 1 T light mayo for egg salad and it goes down really easy. Just a suggestion!

woot, woot!!! Congrats!

nope, but short of breath is usually not good. Best to call your dr.

My dr recommended waiting 3 months, I waited 2 months. I do prefer spring mix salads now with softer greens.

I can pretty much eat anything except for snow peas and if I have a few too many raw baby carrots. I do avoid any steak excpet for filet mignon. Other than that, I have been pretty lucky unless I stuff my pouch and then that's my own darn fault!

I just started feeling restriction from this last fill, over 2 weeks afterwards. After 16 months I can say I am finally in the greenzone! Wahoo!!

Gaining Weight Or Stuck At A Plateau Anyone?
Holly Dolly replied to Lou Ann's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
PJ, having your numbers go down is huge!! Congrats, you are already a healthier you!!! As for the sweet spot, I just reached it! 16 months later and finally there! -
Just call me "SLIM"! Today I reached my goal of 140 pounds and I ahve a normal BMI! woo hoo! Now to lose another 5 for good measure!

Having a big meal before your fill prob doesn't affect anything. I'm sure all the food had passed through the pouch. My dr makes me drink water before I leave, any gurgling and she is in a hurry to remove it!
