Add me please crystalde77@gmail.com 3 yr lap band veteran

About 3-4 days after is good

Thanks ladies

I'm excited for you. I had a complete unfilled last Aug and gained 35-40lbs. After being down almost 100lbs. I've been going to get little fills since. It sucks but haven't gained since April. Fingers crossed he adds some fluid on July 2nd and doesn't cancel my appt since they do that at times. It's hard when my husband is down 200lbs and we had our surgeries 2 weeks apart.

I have the same big ugly problem

Me and my husband were banded two weeks apart. We go out every now and then and he can eat red meat down no problem. I cannot tolerate red meat. Myself I usually go with seafood. I love a nice glass if wine.

I use to love spicy food and now can't do any spice at all. What do I mean? If something is spicy my band closes up.is the feeling I get. I try to stay away from even bbq sauce that isn't sweet. I do every now and then get a strong taste for it and try something small. Sometimes it works but not often.

I love my one small cup made at home every morning. I do have to fight the urge to get those .99 cent dunkin donut sugar loaded ice coffee's in the afternoon. I usually do that by picking up Starbucks iced green tea.

Wow! Great job peeps!! I usually average 3500 week days and 5000-6000 weekends

I just tried it and it does take care of that sweet tooth. Definitely had to push myself to not have something I shouldn't. My 16 yr old son finished it so that says something. Thanks for the idea folks!

What's everyone's average steps per day??

Starting over after a slip last Aug and haven't used my fitness pal since Nov so lost All my old friends

This is a great idea!

I have a fitbit too and luv it. Email crystalde77@gmail.com

Sounds good I'm going to try it

Yeah I agree I think you will be ok till tomm. Take some rolaids or antacids then call it a nite. You may be to tight. Good luck and take care!

Hi everyone, my user name is minniemecry77 I was banded 5/2011 down 80lbs and looking for someone around the same time or weight loss. Feel free to send a friend request. Hoping to help each other out. I started at 289lbs

I'm going to give this a try thanks!!! TGIF

You are going to be ok. The whole process of having the band can be very challenging at times emotionally. I have a couple teenage kids that make it even more crazy. I call my brain a fat brain because I still get upset at times over food. I am working on that still. Dont worry it takes time and lots of patience. Besides if you are anything like me. I've been plus size almost my whole life. Its not a walk in the park to change the emotional feelings behind our food intake. Take it a day at a time. Also start meal planning for the near future when you can have food. I sugguest buying 1 cup portion glass Pyrex bowls it works wonders Hopefully my long drawn out story helps! Crystal

1yr post op and having upper arm issues too. Just askng my FB family and friends for ideas tonight. Crystal
