My New Life Will Begin On February 13!!
pzeadow replied to Amanda61082's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My new life started a year ago last February and since then I have lost 110 pounds. Congratulations to you~ -
I to struggle with snacking at night. It has been my biggest challenge. The thing I have tried is to do something to keep my hands. Take up crocheting, needle work, play a card game. I have even purchased a small electronic casino game just to keep my hands busy. It does seem to help.

I am struggling getting in my daily protein. What kinds of foods are you eating that are high in protein that are helping you achieve your daily protein goals? -

Thank you for posting. I have just started my journey but I have about the same amount of weight to loose. It is very helpful and motivating to be able to see someone that has already achieved it. You look amazing. -
Cost of Lap Band out of pocket
pzeadow replied to wannawearabikini's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
That is what I paid for my lapband. My fills and doctor visits were free for the first 90 days and then my fills are $50.00 -
Looking for fitness partner in Tampa/Brandon FL area!!!
pzeadow posted a topic in Fitness & Exercise
I was recently banded in February of this year and I am also new to the Tampa/Brandon FL area as my husband and I just relocated here less than a year ago. I am definetly homesick and missing my friends and family back home. Looking for anyone who might be interested in a fitness buddy to get together and excerise. Maybe Zumba classes, walking, etc. -
Hello everyone, I to have been struggling a little. I went for my 2nd fill and got to tight. It was awful. All I did was throw up for 2 weeks straight. I kept thinking it would get better but it didn't. I finally went back to the doctor this week and he took out .5cc's. Now I think I am to loose. I am back to being able to eat just about anything. It is weird how just a little amount can make such a difference. It seems like the most frustrating part of this whole process is finding the right amount for your fill. By nature I am not a patient person so this is driving me crazy. I want to get to the perfect spot NOW so that I can start getting this weight off. I have lost almost 50lbs so far. My main motivation for getting the lap band (self-pay) is because I am 42 years old and a little over a year ago I had a massive heart attack. (That was a surprise) It scares me that if I do not get this weight off and get healthy that I am going to have another one. Each day is definetly a new adventure. This website is definetly a huge help. It is so nice to talk to other people that are going through the same thing. Are any of you struggling getting your meds down? I have to take 8 pills a day which is pratically a meal.

How long does it take you to eat? And how much do you eat?
pzeadow posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I just got my 2nd fill and I am struggling with getting stuck alot. I think I am eating slow and chewing really well but now I question myself. I was just curious how long it takes all of you to eat a meal or even a 4 ounce piece of meat. Thanks -

Good Restriction but now feeling weak & tired alot
pzeadow posted a topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I just got my second fill and now have good restriction, however I have noticed that I am weak and tired alot of the time. Has anyone else experienced this. I am wondering if this has to do with the lack of food in comparison to what I use to eat I hear alot of people talk about protein shakes but have not yet tried any. There seems to be so many on the market and I don't want to spend the money on them and then not like them. Alot of people I have talked to say they are grainy and taste like crap. Does anyone have any suggestions? -
emotional rollercoaster
pzeadow replied to pamela3782's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I too went through the emotional woes. Be patient with yourself. You will soon feel like you are in control again. It is a process of relearning the food process. Often times I think we start to grieve the loss of our food addiction. Our heads are still addicted but our body no longer allows us to induldge. It does get better.
