Congrats you are doing awesome.

You will do it. Emotions run high when we are no longer connected to our comfort which is/was food. A year from now when you have a new relationship with food you will then be able to laugh at how you beat obesity. Wishing you well on your journey.

Isnt it funny how much our bands have done for our lives. If others would just let theirs work.

Plateus are common. We all have had them. Eventually you will start losing again.

I would definitely say something to your doctor. If she is fresh out of school she is apparently not used to working with wls patients let alone lapband patients. I would speak with your doctor about what she is telling them. But you continue doing what you were doing from the beginning. Maybe your doctor needed someone in a hurry but she shouldnt be giving that advice. Maybe she was pissed because you were stealing her spot lol

You cant feel the band inside you. I know you may think you can but you wont be able too.

Good for you.

Well mother nature can change in a heartbeat. Dont give up yet until it happens.

looking good mama

Happy Tuesday to you as well

If you are still dry heaving he probably wont send you home. The usually wont send you home until that has stopped.

Good for you Im sure you feel like a super hero now.

I only had issues with dry chicken. I really cant eat bread or anything of doughy consistancy. Rice is not a problem but I choose not to eat it. Pasta for the most part is a no go too. I think if you eat correctly there really is nothing off limits with the band.

You are owning up to your failure and that takes guts. Drinking is one big weight gain problem and if you put your mind to it then yes you will succeed. 24 minutes is better then nothing. I wish you nothing but success.

Well my question is why are you only eating chicken? I would get burned out too. I dont do carbs either because I cant lose with carbs. Where is your veggies and fruit. Eggs with fat free cheese, greek yogurt, protein bars with no sugar in them, tofu, good cuts of beef, diced ham, chicken salad, egg salad, tuna salad, black bean casserole, salad, shrimp, crab meat, taco salad without the shells, there are many recipes for high protein low carb meals on allrecipes.com Some people can eat carbs others can't. I am one that can't. There are so many foods out there that are good. Some days I only eat a half of cantelope. On those days I eat a protein bar or some lunch meat or a hard boiled egg. If I get sick of salad I take some lunch meat and cut it up finely add some tomatoes and banana peppers. It fills me up and works. If I ate the same thing every day I would get tired too. Make a veggie omelet out of your eggs instead of just eggs. You have to get creative with food. I have a good recipe for black bean casserole if you want it. PM me and I will send it to you.

You cant eat more then you should if you measure your food to a cup and no more. Sometimes you get hiccups or a runny nose, or shoulder pain which would be your full signal.

You wont feel restriction until you start getting fills so basically right now you have to control yourself until you are able to get some fills to help you.

This is awesome. Congrats.

I had my gallbladder out and my scars from my band and gallbladder are hardly noticeable.

Its up to the individual. Some people have it right away and some have to wait until they get fills.
