Gaining And Losing The Same Three Pounds, Argh!
BlueTattoo replied to electronicart's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Join myfitnesspal.com. You can do this on your computer or on your phone. I love it on my phone do I can quickly add what I just ate. Oh and it has a bar code scanner. I love scanning my snacks and not having to enter all the information! But it helps me keep track of what I'm eating. How many calories I'm taking in and how much protein I'm eating. It's a wonderful little app/website! -

Pre-Op. Not Sure If I Am Following The Week Before Diet Correctly?
BlueTattoo replied to armymom2012's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Protein drinks will help to get your protein up. Ask your nutritionist/doctor if he would recommend high protein foods for you. My nutritionist suggested new direction soups, proti15 drinks and soy snacks. Yours may ask that you eat something else. -

Extremely Nervous About Walking In To The Gym, Let Alone Working Out
BlueTattoo replied to 2bigdogz's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
What i di was join a 24 hour gym. I talked to a personalntrainer got some tips and grabbed a buddy. I work late shift 4pm -12 am. So i go to gym after work and its just me and my girl friend. Not sure what hours you are able togo but it just an idea. -
I know im a long ways from having a TT/lower body lift. Im looking into good surgeons in this area. It took me two years to do enough research on my doctor and a few others before i had my lapband. I guess i like to be well informed.. i considered mexico as an option but would definately want referals fro people who have actually had surgery from that doctor. With three kids and unmarried i will probably have to save the next twoyears to get this done . Thanks for your input!

I Cheated On My Pre Surgery Diet... Am I A Terrible Person? :(
BlueTattoo replied to bri_belcher's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Well none of us are perfect banders..we have all cheated once twice or more..its just what you do after u cheat. Try to stay on track. When u fall off ask for help.i told my bf if i tried to cheat to remind me why im doing this. Its hard for meto pass upntemptation unless i am 1.extremely motivated or 2 i have help. I cheated on mypreop bc well i wanted something i knew id have to give up. It was only one day. And i drank pepsi and ate mexican food. Then went back to my liquid diet.. Now that i look back on it the taste are a fading memory. Do i miss soda yup, but ive read too many horror stories of foaming it up that i dont want to try it. Plus its just empty calories... But i found a pic of me im about 190lbs in the pic and i look damn good. I carry that in my purse, when i want to cheat i pull it out and say. "This is what you are working towards...to be healthy and good looking, to have self confidence again. Don't screw it up and cheat..the moment will pass." I try to find a satisfying Protein snack. So i hope this helps. There is still hope for you...at least you feel guilty about it. Lol -

Thought id ask if anyone has actually ordered a dream number bed or sleep number bed...after being bored a while and thinking how much mybed sucks...i might purchase one. But i wanted real reviews. I noticed that i have a huge indent in my bed from the years of owning the bed....and being overweight and not moving much whileni sleep.

Lap Band with "modified" gastric plication
BlueTattoo replied to nikki6sangel's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Well part of the reason im still sore is from getting hit in the stomach with a chair at work by accident. I went back to work after 10 days. My job is easy but rquires stretching , reaching, and my tummy hits the poker table a lot bc i have to reach....im too darn short! But i did eat too much lastnight, i didnt get sick but i felt miserable and belched alot! I laid down on my left side held my pillow for a couple hours beore i felt somewhat normal again....vowed not to eat too much again... guess we all learn thehard way.
