Cramps and gas
allysonwhitt replied to allysonwhitt's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Ivy, what is gastritis? I am going to a gastro doctor on Wednesday with a lot of questions. It is really painful! -
I am 2 and 1/2 weeks out and really trying not to weigh myself like crazy but I am not losing. I lost 10 lbs in the first week and haven't lost a lb since. I am logging all my foods and am only eating soft foods. I use about 800 calories a day and average about 80 grams of protein daily. I even have started working out four times this week. Feeling very frustrated. Any insight?
-
Believe me I have been logging every single thing. Due to my restrictions, I haven't been able to et a large variety of foods. What does cycling mean? Thank you!

Thanks Ladies. All good advic. I hav always been a slow loser which is a healthy thing but so frustrating when I am eating so much less then I used to et. Believe me I am not going to give up! Not even close. I haven't measured myself but that's a great idea! My surgery was on June 25th. I get my first fill this coming Wednesday the 17th. Thanks for the help.

Has anyone very heard of Nature Box. It is a website that sends you a box of healthy natural snacks right to your door each month. Sounds interesting but I don't know the nutritional facts. Anyone out there use this website?

There is some really great stuff called PB2. It is peanut butter broken down into powder and doesn't have all the fat. I am addicted to PB so my nut recommended PB2 to add to my shakes. It's delicious! You can get it on Amazon.

Where do you get the True Results or Labrada protein shakes? I can't find any I like. -

What about protein shakes or carnation instant breakfast? -
I am 2 weeks post op and brought my two little sons to the movies. What a challenge. I so wanted the popcorn that my boys had. I know it isn't a great choice but I settled for a lollipop. It took a while to eat and tasted good. Better than what I would have normally have often. What do you bring when you go to the movies?

Movie challenge
allysonwhitt replied to allysonwhitt's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks everyone. I did eat lunch before I left just for that reason.i also brought my water. The lollipop was only 60 calories, so I think I made an ok choice. -

What exactly is the green zone? Is that when you aren't hungry but you are losing?

Drinking and really uncomfortable...
allysonwhitt replied to deleteme's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Agreed ladies. I was banded a week ago tomorrow. I have to drink slowly too. Try and befriend me and we can support each other. If you think or find any good recipes for the puréed and soft foods week, let me know. Thanks. -

allysonwhitt replied to Medikdave's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I too was banded June 24th last week. I had the shoulder pain too but the worst is where the port is sewn in. Super painful. Congrats. One week post op tomorrow. Yay! -
I know it is hard but you can do it. Follow the plan. You don't want to fall off the bandwagon.

Thank you forthe info. Which flavors do you like the best? I don't like the gritty flavor in some of the protein shakes. -

My friends who have had lap band surgery told me DON'T get on the scale. I know that is hard but they are right. Let your body heal! Where do you get the Isopure protein drinks? -
