How Soon After Banding
Mara005 replied to Krystle Austin's topic in Pregnancy with Weight Loss Surgery
I was banded on Oct. 4th, if I can lose a good bit of weight by then we will start trying in May (9 months after surgery). -
Re Gastric Banding With Plication

I'm almost 6 weeks post op, I'm happy I decided to do it. I recovered easily and am feeling great. I have yet to have a fill. -
What Did You Have For Breakfast? In A Rut
Mara005 replied to indacrucible's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I love 1/2 cup cottage cheese and handful of blueberries. -
I dropped alot the first two weeks, but since then I've barely lost anything. It's super frustrating but I'm trying to focus on daily fitness, my water intake and protein first, I hope that will help lose it.

Look in my blog, I posted a few recipes on there, they are SO good! Also for breakfast I am having 1/2 cup cottage cheese with some blueberries on top. It's low cal and high protein.

Pregnancy After Lap Band At 35??
Mara005 replied to mrsward1's topic in Pregnancy with Weight Loss Surgery
For you and the baby it's much better if you're at a healthy weight/bmi. Lots of luck with what ever you decide -
I added another recipe to my blog (in my signature), this time with pictures!
-
Yes, I feel this way too. I feel like I'm only eating less because I measure out smaller portions, I think if I didn't I could fit an average size portions into me. But this smaller portion satisfies me, so I don't.

I just wanted to recommend a couple recipes I've tried, links to them in my blog.

I seem to have stalled with my weight loss. Is anyone else going through this? I am working out, and staying at about 500 to 600 calories a day.
-
I just got back from the doctor and while I had hoped for a Sept. date, it looks like I will be getting banded on October 4th! I can't wait for some companions on here!
-
I'm getting in about 500-600 calories a day and about 5 glasses of water.

I was allowed tomato soup after my first doc visit, when I switched off Clear liquids. That was 5 days post op. -

Mara005 replied to NYTeacher's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had to stay overnight so I loved having my own slippers along with some very loose pants to put under my hospital gown. I also brought something to do before surgery, I was there at 8:30 but didn't go in for surgery until noon (something happend in the surgery before mine). -
Lapbad / Plication ?
Mara005 replied to Krystle Austin's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think since it's still in the experimental phase I don't think every doctor is able to do it. Perhaps that's why your doctor didn't mention it. -

Mara005 replied to NYTeacher's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Anyone know how many calories they are eating? I'm on mushies and Myfitnesspal says I'm eating about 500-600 calories a day. Just wondering what others are taking in. -
Should I Do Plication With My Lapband.
Mara005 replied to Mandylove's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had the plication, I'm only 2 weeks out, but I'm still happy I did it. Anything to help with weight loss is a good idea to me.
