Has anyone else had problems with altered taste
cheryl2586 replied to Kizimodoe's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Try some flavoring in your water. 4 c makes no calorie flavors. My taste altered but not to the point that I couldnt eat. What about jello, sugar free popsicles? -
Call your doctor tomorrow and get an unfill. Try to get in liquids until then.

This is all normal. It will go away in time. -
No restriction, doc doesn't want to fill
cheryl2586 replied to farmgirl04's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Its not about feeling full anymore its about being satisfied. Enjoy being hungry because it's a feeling you probably havent felt in a lot of years. I enjoy feeling hungry. Makes me know I need to eat to live now. -
Im with you on that also. No new resolutions for me either. I am happy to not have to do that. I quit smoking 2 and a half years ago when I was six months post op, have lost so much weight and feel great. I loathe all the years I spent making those stupid resolutions to only find myself feeling guilty that I didnt make it a week out. Nope no more for me. Just loving life as it is.

Just had to share a little (non-scale) victory!

I love the NSV better then the numbers on the scale. Keeps me motivated. -
Finished two miles this morning. Feels good to start the new year new day off on the right foot

cheryl2586 replied to farmgirl04's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Its normal for a dr not to give you a fill if you're still losing. Don't be in a hurry to get filled up. Use it when 1 you are forraging for food, are too hungry, weight loss stops not slows. Getting filled slow guarentees you will keep it off. Some people are in a hurry to get filled up but what do you have to work with if your band is completely filled. -
I just eat like I did when I was losing. I don't eat junk food or ice cream or sweets, no fast food. I eat healthy nutritious food every day. That way I dont have to worry about maintaining. I also weigh twice daily but I have from the beginning. It keeps me accountable.

I love hummus too. A great snack.

I'm in will use my walk away the pounds tape the two mile one and I have the five mile one too. It's a great work out and a good walk and energizing to say the least. I feel so good after I do it and sweat like hell.

Cooked a duck today. It was awesome and 1 cup of breast is 42 grams of protein and only 4 grams of fat.

Get some good old fashioned prune juice. Works every time

6 months out, starting to struggle...HELP!
cheryl2586 replied to mdonahue4688's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
We don't eat to feel full any longer we eat to feel satisfied there is a big difference. Stick with your alotted amounts and that is it. Weight stalls happen and sometimes longer then we want. Up you protein and slack starchy carbs if your eating them. -
Poll -- What's Your Willpower Like?
cheryl2586 replied to losangelesislovely's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I don't have an issue with will power anymore. I just don't crave or want the bad foods I used to eat at all. I think even without the band if you go without something long enough then you don't want it anymore. It just helped me control my hunger not anything else. -
hi all having some concerns
cheryl2586 replied to kathyhall's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
The whole idea of the preop diet is to shrink the fat out of your liver. As long as you are eating no high fat foods it probably won't matter if you gain or lose. -
Love this idea for salad for lunch. The possibilities are endless!
cheryl2586 replied to cheryl2586's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Just because it is a slider food for you it is not for everyone. I still have to eat salads slowly or they will get stuck. This is a great way for people to get in their vegetables. There are no vegetables that are bad for you even if you consider them sliders. -
You look just awesome!

If your band is in fact eroded that is considered an emergency. They have to remove it whether you have insurance or not because if stomach contents start leaking in to your other cavities it can cause a serious system wide infection. Go to the emergency room and make them treat you. Stop using meat tenderizer also to eat. This is not something to play with so go to the ER now.

My surgery is in the morning :) 12/31/12.
cheryl2586 replied to DisplayName's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
What a happy new year to you. You will do great. Being nervous is normal. -
Its not really hell you are just hungry. Some lose and some don't I lost weight after surgery 18lbs in three weeks. You can't go by everyone else as we are all different.
