hely88 replied to angieband's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I also use rice crackers but the unjury chicken has like 700 protein -
Please help. I have really been trying not to buy any clothes for a while but my bras are huge and they often come undone. Could you all suggest what bras you like. I do not wear underwire. I really appreciate some suggestions. Thanks.

How small is a small bite? And how many times do you chew it?
hely88 replied to hopeful_janna's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I always use a baby spoon not so much for the bite size but to keep me from eating too fast. -
Thanks for sharing. It is fun to see what other people are eating.

My doctor says bite should be size of fingertip most say big as a pencil eraser. I chew till its mush and I still guzzle water unless it's really cold. Best of luck. -

Beware those refrigerated,frozen and canned foods they are loaded with sodium and processed foods can hurt your weightless . Try making meals on weekends or a few times a week. That includes these store bought chickens most are injected with sodium to flavor as they cook. -
I think it is important for everyone to have structure. Whether you are like B52 or a stay at home mother or whatever else you have going on in your life. I dont work but I do volunteer work to get out of the house and get my days started. I have had my coffee made my and ate my breakfast and getting ready to get my day started. Hope everyone had a great day!

My advice is to not be too hard on yourself and just get back on that horse! Its just a bump in the road and there will be others you will do awesome! You know what you need to do. I also find cooking my own healthy foods makes me feel more satisfied and keeps me structured. I eat 3 half cup meals a day. I do measure and track everything. Good luck you will do great!!

There are always lessones learned. Really it is not good to do anything against doctors orders. You are not healed enough yet for a lot of things. Many people can not eat breat but some can. You might want to try it again when you are healed. When you get to solids you will try lots of different foods. Good luck on your journey!

Gas! ok I know they pumped me with CO2 but really this much?
hely88 replied to Amanda2013's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Congrats and welcome! I feel your pain we all go through the gas hell. Make sure to walk and move as much as possible. Some people say it helps if you raise your move your arms. Take some gas x. This will pass hang in there. The more you can move the better. -
I have a kick boxing game on wii that I love. Also if you are currently not exercising every bit helps! Good Luck.

My nose has been running almost every time I eat since I had a fill. Is there any way this has to do with my band? Its running and I can't catch it
-
I only eat 3 half cup meals and usually get around 60 sometimes more.
-
Often not everyday it has actually been better since I started cooking healthy foods.

I have found that times I don't lose weight I lose inches. It is really good to keep up with your measurements so you can see the NSV.

Mine is on the left and below. Under ribs.

I'm not sure it seems kinda random but I feel it's attached to me band. I haven't been sick just the runny nose. It's just enough to be annoying.
-
Yeah go away sounds good. It feels like its in my muscles which really confuse me. I am pretty sure it is gas. Best medicine gas x and get up and move around.

Congrats on all of your weightlosses. Please always keep in mind when comparing weight loss everyone is different,. Also those who exercise regulary tend to lose faster. Also what you eat how much and how often can affect your weighloss. How much sodium and processed foods you eat etc. Continued success to you all.

I still get shoulder pain on the left often when I eat. I am four years banded. I think its gas my nurse says its a sign to stop eating. Not right after surgery that is natural.

How many of you watch your sodium and if so what if anything have you noticed?
-
The chicken also comes plain.

I'm so happy for you! aiming for 240's myself this week. Hope I can join youn in that happy dance.

I just wanted to weigh in here. I agree with everyone having to do the work and eat the right things but I have seen people lose super quick and I have seen people lose very slow sometimes not till after the first fill. I do think that some of you who have a really good journey become a little insensitive to people who are having more of a struggle and could use some support. I little empathy would be nice sometimes. I am in no way saying you should sugarcoat everything. Everyone is different and we all have different struggles.just be aware.
