I do feel satisfied tho. I'm not getting full but I know that I should not get full. I know I could eat more but haven't tried cause I wanna stick to the 1 cup. I would eat a whole cup of rice n everything else to go with it before so I know more fits or maybe not since the band. I'm not about to try tho. Lol

Just curious, aren't we supposed to b on a liquid diet 1-2 days after any fill? I haven't had any fills yet so am wondering.

I waited a week. Take it easy tho

Love Zumba!!! Everyone should try it.

I am curious. The paperwork I read for after surgery states I should not eat red meat for 3 months. Any one else out there been told the same thing.

Thanks y'all for the feed back.

My surgery was @ 6:30 am and I was back home at 2. Luckily I had my sis whom helped take care of me

By the way lauriegee did you work out a lot? I love Zumba n am planning to go back several times a week in bout a week. I'm 5 feet n my goal weight is 130.

Wow. Congratulations on your weight loss!!!

Agree with Jen. Missing records are your docs office. Which med records r missing n call that doc n have them 're forward to your surgeon. It's not the insurance it's whoever has those med records. I have blue cross n it only took about a week to get an approval once they received all my medical records

I know right. What is lying horizontally anyway? My kids n hub said laying on your side would b horizontally but if I.

What's the problem with laying down horizontally n the band? I know I have read or seen there's a problem , but what is it? That's how I use to sleep. Since my band 2 weeks ago I have been laying on my back.

I've been wanting to only have it as a treat anyway but I'm just curious

Hi Jimmy. Claudia here. This is a very scary episode that happened to u n sorry things turned out that way they did. Just curious did you have to do a liquid diet before surgery? I hear some people do n some don't. I had a two week liquid diet n I was told it was to shrink the liver for a safe surgery n so the organs could b nice n firm. Either way you say you'd like to eat healthier to live to see your grandkids. My husband is 41 years old n had to get on a diet for back surgery. I suggested weight watchers; it worked for me as long as I followed the program. He's been doing a great job at it as I have been a great help with portion control, n still cooking a lot of the food he loves to eat. We are both trying to cut most red meat out n maybe have it as a treat. Edither way, weight watchers allows you to eat anything as long as you stay within the limits they give you. Oh by the way everyone thinks it's funny that my husband's on a diet since he's this big Mexican gangster looking man, n has always ate anything hes wanted. He's never been this overweight but has been on disability for about 9 months n has become a board couch potatoes. Good luck to u n a successful weight loss journey.

Good luck. Prayers go out to u n ALL Jan. Bandsters!!!

Congratulations n welcome

How'd it go? How are you feeling?

So I'm on day 13 post-op n have been having more n more BLT'S. I should b having mushy food only. I want someone to scare me cause I'm not sure what type of damage I could b doing. Overall I'm doing well on my mushys but for instance last night I made some chicken n had a couple bites n today I had 1 teriyaki chicken wing. I feel like I have no restrictions. I have been following the 1 cup 3-4 Times a day n my doc said he tightened my band a little at surgery. I won't see him till another week.

Change up your routine or what you eat. Our bodies get use to the same old stuff. Like maybe just do cardio or something like that. Eat some oatmeal instead of egg. Just examples. High protein also is good n a necessity. Good luck to you

When I went to surgery all my mom could say was " Lord you know what your daughter is getting into" this decision was one of the hardest I had to make. I'm down 20 pounds n feels good.
