First Post Not yet banded
CHEZNOEL replied to Creekwood's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I wish you every success. Read as much as you can and do research to be sure you are up for the band lifestyle. Asking questions here is a great way to start. The more you know, the more you will succeed. Best wishes on your journey. It is the best thing I ever did for myself. -
Question about pre-op diet
CHEZNOEL replied to Tampagirl's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
My thoughts exactly. Don't get the band if you expect it to do the work for you. It won't. You will have to work hard to change your eating and living style if you expect to be successful. Not be snarky, but ask any bandster here who has lost significant weight. It ain't easy. I would talk with the doc and psychologist about your decision. Seriously... I am concerned for your success. -
Way to go Miss Tracy. Glad the new doc is working out better. Hang in there.

My port was a good ways below the bra line. You should have no trouble.

You are so right. She is our Florence Nightingale.

FEELING SICK TO MY STOMACH, NAUSEA AND ABDOMINAL PAIN?
CHEZNOEL replied to nessa2012's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Are you post-op? Are you trying to go or nauseous? I am not clear from your post. -
Where in NC are you from? I won't even offer to kick your butt, you are doing it already. Just go back to what you know works.

Take 2 oz whenever you can... in a day it will add up. And yes, it does get better!

CHEZNOEL replied to NYTeacher's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
All of these mini victories are important. Count them all and don't be afraid to post. You are on the road to a healthier you! Congratulations. -
And... as my friend Sojourner likes to say... do or do not.... there is no try!

Chocolate every day is not on my plan either. Definitely need a nutritionist near you.

Good lean protein, cooked tender and fresh veggies are good for everyone in the family.

How soon after surgery can you go swimming?
CHEZNOEL replied to Flowering man's topic in Fitness & Exercise
Most public pools want fully healed incisions before allowing you to swim do to possible blood seepage. This is definitely and ask the doctor, not us nobodies question! -
Do not wait more than a couple of days though. You can definitely get way to dehydrated quickly.

We are all very adaptable... good information for all of us. Thanks.

Survived First Fill Today.... Liquids for the next 3 days??
CHEZNOEL replied to NJMommy2Four's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Protein shakes are best post fill to ensure you get the nutrition you need. Try 2-3 oounces of protein every hour while awake, and sip other liquids in between. -
Sorry... I can't see post, but expect to change bra sizes several times.
-
The fill amount varies widely by person. Just do what your doc says you need and what works for you. It is not a contest.
