I always thought it would (95%), the 5% doubt keeps me from getting too cocky!

Why am I craving chocolate every day?!?!
trystelle replied to mandi78's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I have been craving steak and am not a big red meat eater. I realized that my current vitamins do not have iron...I think the body craves for a reason. -
Which embarrasses you more?
trystelle replied to WASaBubbleButt's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I got my first "Are you sick?" comment. Of course I said no-but debated about whether to mention my band. I did and the person seemed like it was no big deal-she was just glad I wasn't sick! -
My pug farted!

I don't know, but certainly without the watch you would get nothing out of it. There are no display screens, you can only tell what is going on when you upload to the computer. It is sooo worth it though!! Watching my calories is actually fun!:bounce:

I can just about find mine-but it was definitely more swollen until about 2 months post-op. Check with your doc so you can restyour mind.

Does anyone go to Pioneer Valley Surgical Associates?
trystelle replied to iheartcats's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hi-I have Dr. Haag. He gives the best fills. I have never had a twinge of pain. I had my surgery on 7/13 and have lost 50 lbs, I am happy with my choice. They also have a great lapband support group. I have heard positive about both docs, but more frequently for Haag. Good luck-let me know if you have other questions. -
I think she meant to say that she wasn't telling anyone. I really think it is a bad idea to push yourself. I wasn't allowed to do heavy lifting or exercise other than walking for 6 weeks. Check with you doc.

is Gall Bladder surgery similar to lap band
trystelle replied to Alfie's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I have had both and agree that the lapband was slightly more uncomfortable, but I feel that it came from the port, which is the longest lasting soreness. I had a c section and that was 10X worse! Good luck! -

You must still be on clear liquids! -
I just started this week. I had been jogging but it is just too cold. I figure that this would keep me in shape so I will not lose my progress. I watch tv while I do it and it makes it a little more interesting. What are you doing on it, besides just jumping up and down?

"Houston, We Have Restriction" WEE HEE!
trystelle replied to LovingWhatIs's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I got a fill on Monday (#3) and I am perfect. Not too tight or loose...it's awesome!!!:clap2: -
My head is not as restricted as my stomach!! I want to eat more than I can or do. I am sitting here wanting to eat a sugar free fat free chocolate pudding-but no way-but I find myself wishing I were hungry cause I want to eat it. Crazy huh? Only you folks would understand!

Congrats-You won't be sorry!!!!

Couch to 5K - Week of 25 ? 01 December
trystelle replied to losingjusme's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
It is freaking freezing here. I have to find a workable solution to my temperature dilemma. I am going to run for 20 minutes on my mini trampoline, but am worried that this is not a good substitute. It feels hard and increases my heart rate. I really do not want to join a gym!!!! -
pugs rule!

Bands hold different amounts. Do you know how much yours holds? They can range from 4-14 cc's.

Poop makes me gag!!

dinner out? where do you eat out??
trystelle replied to hastalabyebye's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I order whatever I like withing reason. I consider the healthiness of the choice, look for high protein, ease of swallowing and resonable fat content. I avoid bread and pasta. I also try to choose something that reheats well, because I usually get 4 meals from a restaurant portion!!! I occasionally will eat a slice of pizza, but just don't find it as irrisistable as I did before surgery. -
Do you know if I know it all??????

Couch to 5K - Week of 18 ? 24 November
trystelle replied to losingjusme's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Hi yesterday I jogged for 20 minutes on my trampoline. and then did some yoga. Today I had a 75 minute yoga class (with the instructor from hell) and tried to run a little and did about a half a mile. My weight loss is stalled because I am eating too many carbs. I get a fill tomorrow, so I am looking forward to some restriction. Keep going folks, we can do this.
