What Is The Average Weight Loss Post Op?
Rojasanoll replied to lrhodes46's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was banded on Aug 6 and have lost 16 pounds post-op and now in Stage 1(mushies). -
Wow, I had to stay on liquids for 16 days and my doctor didn't allow pudding. I had a hiatal hernia fixed so no more heartburn. Your reward was 9 kids to raise and now the band. Cheers

Normal??? 7 Days Post Op & Starting "mushy" Foods
Rojasanoll replied to LaurieBmomof3's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Creamy lentil soup fills me up. Blended chicken breast mixed in Cream of mushrron soups is very good. Try and find the lowfat versions in a Fresh n Easy or Trader Joes. Sip your water all day or Crystal lights. A protein shake for lunch if you have no time to eat. -
Congratulations! And soon you will be on the "other" side.

What's Your Take On Artificial Sweeteners?
Rojasanoll replied to meyouus's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I was using Splenda over the others since my Lapband journey. Now, I've switched to Stevia (Fresh n Easy, Trader Joe's) which is a nutural sweetner and NO chemicals. If you do research on Google it's been around 1500 years. Cheers -
Banded 6 Hours Ago!
Rojasanoll replied to Jason Can Do it!'s topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Congrats to the new banders. Walks and SIP plenty of water. The discomfort will all pass. Be positive and Keeep the Faith. -
Are you drinking your Water amounts by your surgeon? You have to drink water to help the body keep from dehydrating. Potassium and calcuim intakes are important as well. See your PCP. Good luck

Thinking Of Changing My Life For The Better
Rojasanoll replied to sshaeshae19's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I don't know but I would check with your insurance provider and ask. If you get stuck paying for either procedure, it's big money especially IVF. Best wishes -
Hang in there everybody, most of us have gone through this ordeal. Be positive and Best Wishes.

Introduction-Hello
Rojasanoll replied to dontlookback's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Welcome to this great forum. And yes I agree with you, there are people here who are willing to help in anyway. Most have gone through all that your journey will take you. Feel free to ask any questions here. Be Positive and Best Wishes on upcoming Band date. -
My surgeon told me they have Imodium chewables and now and then it's okay to take them. But please check with YOUR doctor.

Cardio will burn the carbs you eat faster but I use stretch bands every other day to tone my arms and legs> I figure if I continue to lose I might me able to tone up loose skin right now. I also use my treadmill every other day for about 15 minutes, not too much more. I use knee braces due to possible future surgery.
