I Think I Need Some Kind Encouragment...
maegan replied to OldMomOf3's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
If tracking helped, then track!!! I have always heard that I is best to write or track your intake. I wish I could get motivated to do it again!!! -
My husband and I share a lot. It is a little awkward sometimes and I have gotten weird looks from waiters when I ask for a box, but it isn't a big deal.

I think I have had too many to name! I had a specific group of girls that would moo at me in high school when I was a size 3-5! That started a nasty spiral of bulemia, yo yo dieting, etc. I am a little more thick skinned now, but my son still tells me I need to go on a diet!

I am four months out and my dr just told me I haven been needing to crush! I can and small pills whole and break the big ones in half or quarters. I still do chewable a in whatever I can bc I am super tight in the mornings and have vomited up my pills!

It Is Like I Never Had Surgery Sometimes
maegan replied to prettysmart1913's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am 4 months post op with 4cc in my band. Sometimes I feel like I could eat all day and others I don't. It is still a struggle for me to make the right food choices and stick to the portions. I just try to remind myself it is a tool and not a magic solution. I still hVe to exercise and eat somewhat healthy for the scale to move. I also remind myself I wouldn't have already lost 43 lbs without it! -
I Wish I Hadnt Told A Soul...im Tired
maegan replied to clarks4willie's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I haven't minded telling people about my journey and have only had one person ask me why not just diet. I don't tell everyone, but if it seems relevant I do. I don't participate in a work breakfast the other morning and I told someone why. I am proud of my choices and I could care less what others think. -
I lost a lot on weight watchers too! Then I ended up heavier than ever!!!
-
Tylonal isn't working for mine. I haven't talked To the dr about it yet, but I will be! I finally broke down this week and had to take Motrin for a migraine!!!!

Am just over two months post op and the hair loss is getting worse. I have been taking biotin and protein shakes. I have read on here that it grows back, but when!? I already have short hair and am worried sick!

Most meat.

I had my surgery 6/14. Including pre op I have lost a total of 39 lbs. I have had only 2 fills and am exercising regularly. I only lost 6 lbs this past month. I think if you add the exercise it might kick your body in gear and drink plenty of water!

Biggest Challeges This Far?
maegan replied to lexx's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have vomited on steak a couple times. I think I have given up on the steak! I have even tried a filet mignon rare and soft, cut up small. Still couldn't keep it down! -
Biggest Challeges This Far?
maegan replied to lexx's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Biggest challenge was bandster hell and having no restriction. Now I have some restriction and biggest challenge is not having any white flour! Everything good has white flour! I am really having to follow the rules now and choose not to eat the bad stuff. -
Day 3 And Lots Of Questions!
maegan replied to JenM's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I did protein shakes right off. I use isopure. I also lived on water, juice, broth, And Gatorade. I was starving within 4-6 days! Just make sure you drink a lot! -
It is great that you are thinking ahead! I know I can't eat breakfast, so I usually have a Protien shake every morning. Lunch just depends. I hVe been back to work after summer for almost a month now. Sometimes I can eat and sometimes I cant. When I can't, I drink a premade meal replacement so i wont get dizzy or weak from low blood sugar. You will be fine!
-
Another thing I hVe done is keep a premade protein shake like Adkins in my office. That way if I can't eat, I just drink and it holds me over til I get off work.

How Long Does Hair Loss Last!?
maegan replied to maegan's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks everyone. I go to my dr this week. I will ask him as well. -
I am an ESE teacher in FL. I can't eat much at work either. The good thing is that I don't have much time!

What Is The Average Weight Loss Post Op?
maegan replied to lrhodes46's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My dr Said 1-2 lbs a week also. It is faster in the beginning, but mine has slowed. Still losing a lb a week though. At least in not gaining and my body is changing. I am exercising so I am getting more firm and going down in sizes even if the scale isn't moving much. -
