Surgery date Sept.12th,2011......Its great I am at my sixth month anniversary and I am down almost 100lbs (pre and post) surgery. I feel wonderful, more active (just brought myself a bike) This is the best thing I have ever done for myself.

6 Month Anniversary
terricharles replied to terricharles's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had a nine month wait to have surgery because of all the steps that had to be taken and just the whole process took that long. I eat what sounds good to me and when I have that feeling of fullness I stop. I make sure I stay very active doing something. Like I said I just took up bike riding, I walk when the weather is nice. I watch my calorie intake try to stay at a 1000 or just under, per day. I will tell you and every one it is not easy, but just keep telling your self I can and will do this. -

Trouble With Going To The Bathroom
terricharles replied to WeaponX's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Senna plus (senna-s) is also an over the counter pill, that really works also. 1 or 2 tabs daily or every few days and it works. It is not harsh on the system, gentle and easy to take. -
I will not sleep without mine also. I have been sleeping so much better since I started using it. It has been about 3 years now. So easy to travel with, I just put it in the travel case and in the suitcase and off I go. In the hotels I usually have to unplug a lamp but its worth it.

Lap Band Surgery Tomorrow!!!
terricharles replied to Carolinegee's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
not to be a downer.....and I am happy for every one that makes the choice to have lapband surgery.......but I know when I went though the process to get approved my insurance would not approve me at first because I was in child bearing years (I am 45, with two adult kids 18 and 24) I had to prove to them I was NOT having any more kids........so how is it you girls at 20 21 are getting though the process so easy? Any one else have that issue? -

Can You Eat Subway Sandwiches After Lap Band Surgery ?
terricharles replied to lovemysgt's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Try the flat bread it is good and not as thick as regular bread is and it taste so much better. I eat a 6 inch turkey with tomatoes,lettuce,pickles, green peppers,cheese usually toasted and it is so yummy and I am so full by the time I am done. But I walk to my subway store to get the sandwich and walk home. -
I go next week for my 1st feel.........nervous and excited all at the same time, and so ready to go back to work, lol never thought I would ever say that

Phillips' Colon Health Probiotic Caps Capsules I was looking at taking this for constipation that I have had since surgery any one else having this problem or any other idea of what to do. I have been taking MOM and it takes a dose and a half before anything happens.
