Almost 100 Pounds Gone And Feeling Great!
CHEZNOEL replied to KassieRose's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You can do it! Congrats on your progress so far! -
My lapband saved me from knee replacement. My doc recommended stationary bike to take the weight off my knees. Perhaps that could work for you. But even if it is just walking inside for now, do it. We believe in you!

Thinking About The Lapband..
CHEZNOEL replied to fashionstylist's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I don't think what other people say or think should have anything to do with a decision to make your life better. Be selfish... this one is for you! -
I take my pills whole, but one at a time on the large ones. Check with your doctor, nurse, or dietician and get their advice too. It is what you paid them for!
-
More applause! Way to go!
-
A agree, call the doctor! Do it now!

Stop thinking and do what is right for you! There are a lot more reasons than style to get yourself to a healthy weight. -
Tell your son you will not die. My 39 year old daughter reacted the same way a year ago, and I am still here and healthier! Good luck on your surgery and come back often and let us know your concerns and progress! Cheers!

Care And Feeding Of Lap Band Opinions
CHEZNOEL replied to FLORIDAYS's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
AMEN to all of you. Keep posting your answers, if the people asking don't get it, they never will. Unfortunately they go over to other forums and bad mouth the band because of their failures. Note that everyone who has responded to this post has been helpful direct and positive about their band experiences, even the "bad" ones. I think there is a message there! -
Buy chewables until you feel confident with swallowing larger pills. My B-Complex is a capsule, not huge and has worked fine for me. I get them from VitaCost. I also take Biotin, zinc and phosphate.

Keep the smaller meals, maybe add in another one. I am sure the cycle did not help.

My Surgery Was Cancelled :(

Hang in there, I am happy you were able to get another date so soon! -
Welcome back Steve!

Immediately after a fill be very strict with your sipping small amounts and chewing all food very well. If you can get food down without sliming, I would say you are still swollen from the fill. Slow down and give it time. Don't push food. If you need to call the Doc about an unfill.

Hang in there, it will get better! I promise! -
Cottage cheese and fruit, depending non you stage you could add a a tablespoon of granola.
-
Try cottage cheese with that fruit!
-
BeneFiber is OK. I used it a lot. If you still have problems Miralax was recommended by my nurse practitioner and seemed to work better for me.
-
Type chewable calcium citrate in the Google search. Many site sell chewable calcium. Or, try Citrical Minis, they are much smaller.
-
You will get there. As you heal you will get fills to help you. Right now it is on you to do what you know you should! Actually it will always be on you. Not to be depressing, but one thing I do know, stressing will make you eat more! So I'm with CarolinaGirl, STOP!
