I have not done crossfit personally but I have a couple of friends who live by it. They have toned and are in such amazing shape from it. I am more of a Zumba fan. Congrats on 124 pounds lost and 76 left to go! If you try crossfit let me know what you think. I have toyed with the idea myself, but have yet to give it a try.

HELLO! NEW HERE! Scared to try Lap Band! Any stories to go for or against would be SOO HELPFUL!
terrilavery replied to CWinkler340's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am down 32 pounds in just 2 months. I recommend lapband over the other options because it is reversible. My daughter is 18 and we are looking at doing it for her this summer. She is very active but like you just can't shake the extra weight. The best word of advice I would offer is be sure you are totally committed to the process. The complications from not following the plan are serious. I wish you the best of luck in your journey. -
My surgery is the 21st. I thought I would be nervous or excited or something more than what I am. I think I have wanted this for so long and I am finally getting it. I am just ready to start building a better me.

terrilavery replied to terrilavery's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Well everything went really well showed up at 7:30. Think it was about 9 when they took me back. Was back home by 1:00. Feel pretty good. Have been able to drink broth and my protein share this morning -

That's probably how I will be as well. Just waited so long to finally have this opportunity I don't want to do anything to mess it up once I have it. -

terrilavery replied to Ms.Millie's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was originally scheduled earlier but it got pushed out. So I have almost a wee on the pre op diet already. I had horrible headaches he first two days. I know mine were not caffeine withdrawal. I have been caffeine free for two months. -

I am scheduled for December 21st as well. -
I am on my pre op diet and I get two protein shakes a cup of fruit a cup of veggies and 6 oz of lean meat a day. No fat no carbs. On day 5 and while I am hungry most of the time I am determined to stick with it. Good luck with your journey.

Did anyone ever regret the surgery
terrilavery replied to Michele375's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I have a lot of friends that have the band and the only ones I know that regretted it weeks months or years later are the ones that didn't do the right things and they either caused complications or it wasn't as successful as it should have or found have been. I am scheduled for my band on December 21st. Before I started my pre-op diet I had some of my favorite things and said goodbye to them. They were dear to me at one point in my life but now I want to Celebrate all the new possibilities Allow yourself time to adjust not only to the changes in your eating but to the changes in thinking and the priorities that you are choosing to change. Good luck on your journey. -

I am scheduled for December 20th. I am really excited. Hope I don't get rescheduled. I have been wanting to do this for 10 years and finally have insurance that will cover it. Started my pre-op diet and so far so good! Glad I found this app for my iPhone. -
Vomiting black can be in indication of blood that has been there for a while. Its not fresh. This could indicate a lot of problems including an ulcer. You definitely need to seek medical help regardless. Something is definitely wrong.
