Quahog replied to diamante's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Healthy and problem free! I get the fear of being over filled. I finally feel like I am at the right amt. I did a bunch of water exercises today in our above ground pool with pool weights. Jogged for 15 minutes in water. Wish my knees let me do it on land.Maybe someday! Keep up the good work! : ) -

You sound very much like me. As of my fill yesterday, total 8.5cc in a 14cc band, I believe I am in the zone!!!! 257 to start, 242 day of surgery (6 montgs ago), and now 225. Ok, so yesterday will having a pity party for myself at the docs, here wad her advise for me, maybe it can help you..... ~ 1000 cal ~ exercise min. 1/2 hour a day, everyday, and sweat! if not sweating, don't count it, meaning don't count warm up and cool down. ~eat no less than 75grams of Protein ~eat as much solid food as possible, try to avoid soft, mushie foods ~meal 7ish, snack 10ish, meal 1ish, snack 4ish, meal 7ish, snack 10ish is my guide for now. Switching Snacks with meals if it fits family schedual better. Hope this info, which embarrassing enough I already knew, but didn't execute, helps you in some why. -
Best wishes to you and your husband for a successful and happily ever after journey!

Thanks. Always looking for summer beach reading suggestions. Sounds good.

Very happy for you and inspired!

This is exactly why I joined this forum. To r.ead the good, bad , and ugly of the band. Get a reputable doctor, even if that requires travel.Be sure there is good follow up care. Live the band life for awhile. Drink shakes, practice eating rules(chewing, waiting, etc.) Then if you and the doc are in top form you will be extremely successful! Some people lose fast, I lose slow. But I wouldn't change my decision for anything. I have had no complications. I feel great. Good luck researching and with your decision.

When will I find my green zone?
Quahog replied to Beth A's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Wow. Sixty five pounds sounds like heaven to me. I lost 15lbs preop, and only anothet 20lbs postop in six pounds. And I have 8cc in a 14cc band!!! Next week I am having a long chat with doc because I have yet to feel full, satisfied, stuck, anything. I hope people give you suggestions that will help me too. Good luck. -
Hang in there banded sister. You have a struggling, allie in me! I don't know why it hasn't come off quicker. I don't know why I get frustrated and eat more than I should, or what I shouldn't. I really loved your baseball analogy. Made me smile!!

Hi I am from the south shore. Welcome to LBT. You will learn a wicked lot here. I'd be glad to offer any advice I can. I had mine @ Brockton Hospital. No complications. Happy with my doctor and follow up care.
-
Your profile shows you have lost approx 80 lbs in a bit over a year. Can I ask how mych is in your band? I've lost but have stopped and have never had resyricted feelings so I eat way too much. But if I was where you are after a year I'd be psyched!! What is a typical day for you? Food/exercise

Protizyme brand. Flavor is chocolate cake Nectar brand. Flavor is chocolate truffle

You story makes me smile. Thanks for sharing!
