Sometimes it seems easier to go around the pain than through it, but we are only taking the long way when we do that.

labs off the chart of the flipside, had to have wedding ring resized already and my feet have shrank!

yes definitely, that's happened to me a couple times, and now as well. I'm already off of one bp med , maybe time to get off the second. Go to forums and look up dizziness also, you will see all the postings for dizziness.

Non Measurable Results From Lap Band
#MagicWithinme replied to guitar4life3000's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I already made a post, but thought of a few more, I became photography so I would always be behind the camera, now I want to be infront. I love to dance but would wait till dance floor got full before I stepped out, now I don't care if I'm gonna be the first one on the dance floor~ -
Non Measurable Results From Lap Band
#MagicWithinme replied to guitar4life3000's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
there are so many and some that we don't even realize. The two that came to mind, was my daughter lives in apartment which you get to by elevator and I know it says weight limit is 2500 lbs but I still would think if the elevator went down I would be partially to blame. I looked at it again and thought its not gonna be my fault if it happens (not that I wish it would) sitting in church today, I went to cross my legs and I automatically used my hands to lift my leg, I practically went to a yoga pose my leg went up so high. The things we have done so automatically will take us awhile to undo, but we will! -
hmm maybe taking a nap from 5pm to 8pm wasn't a good idea, took me forever to fall asleep last night.

Too Much Attention And Stranger Rudeness
#MagicWithinme commented on legnarevocrednu's blog entry in legnarevocrednu's Blog
I'm with you, it seems more like they are grilling you with questions, than actually taking personal interest in you as a person. I've had that happen. I ended up just saying if so n so is interested that person can call me, when the woman said oh Im asking you all the questions for so n so. I'm lucky to have wonderful supporters in my family and at work (1-2) have had gastric or lapband. I work with 150 men and I've been approached by 1-2 about procedure, the PROCEDURE, they didn't ask my clothes size or new bra size, they really wanted to know so I didn't mind. All we have to say when they ask about weight loss, is I've really been working on it, which would not be a lie. Good Luck! -
What Would You Recommend At A Restaurant?!
#MagicWithinme replied to Lannae's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
this is me, but baked potatoes work for me -
I was in a meeting with hubby and every so often we'd hear a gurgling noise. At the end of the meeting the director said lets end meeting so she can go to dinner and, the guy sitting next to hubby said its not her it's him, it was too funny! I have to remember too CHEW CHEW, I don't remember till after a few bites and then I end up being unable to swallow for a couple hours.

Help Me ~ I Need A Good Cover Story For Surgery
#MagicWithinme replied to my3sons75's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

Zil, I can so relate, not only stress eaters/ adreniline junkies, sometimes. Living in the Valley where I am its a given you are going to have allergy problems. There are 4 ENT within blocks of each other. I have found since losing weight, my allergic reactions are not as bad as they used to be, (just don't throw a cat at me!) Glad you kept going, and glad to hear you are ok!

Post Op Protein
#MagicWithinme replied to gingerwale's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You can always buy the newhey Protein shots about 2.5 oz of protein "shots" . What I do is when I need a little boost is drink some or add some to a bottle of Water and sip all day. Wish I had known about these when I had had surgery, I wouldnt have worried so much. I purchase mine at walmarts, I like the generic brand not as sweet. Good luck (the generic has 26 grams of protein I belive the newhey has 42) -
So Upset With Myself
#MagicWithinme replied to lgm217's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The best thing about the lapband is that you can "start over" . as many times as you need you and keep it up. I'm an ice cream lover too and bought light ice cream but never got a scoop as my family ate it! and it's not been replaced. Go to a GNC type store there are many foods that would curb that sweet tooth while still providing Protein. Please remember even though you have lapband you can still get illnesses such as diabetes if you continue to eat those kinds of items. I have a friend who's going through that and it's sad because she has had it for 3 years and all she lost was 20lbs and did the lapband didn't work for me speech. Start all over, liquids, Soups , the same when you first had surgery. We will always be fighting food craving of certain foods, but we have to be stronger. Good Luck! -
I should of read the whole package of the protein baar, it was one of those meal replacements, and now I'm having that swallowing thing going on

Please Stop It!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#MagicWithinme commented on Thyckness718's blog entry in Thyckness718's Blog
That comes from people who know nothing about lapband and living with procedure. It comes from from ignorance. It comes from caring but the ultimate choice is yours. Are you happy with your quality of life as it is? Can you lose the weight yourself and keep it off? You will ask yourself these questions over and over and do the I want it I don't until the moment you get lapband and a few weeks later you have lost weight you didn't think you could. This is the best place to ask questions, ask for information, I hope it turns out well for you -
Friday: Lapband Thoughts
#MagicWithinme commented on sweetsoutherngirl's blog entry in sweetsoutherngirl's Blog
While I agree with everyone, some people actually get "offended" when you tell them its not the lapband it's them. I had a person tell me, she couldn't recommend it, it didn't work, all she could eat was candy and drink shakes.. (not protein shakes). I tend to be blunt sometimes without realizing it, and say the first thing that comes to mind, and this friend just kept saying I don't recommend it, its a waste of money. For myself, I kept talking to various people and learning more and found great support . That would be great to team up , if she is willing, just don't let her negativity get to you, let her learn from you. No one said it would be a "game of candyland!" -
So while everyone is stuffing their face with KitKats someone brought in for the office, I'm eating my chocolate peanut butter protein bar:protein 15 grms, tastes the same..
