August Bandsters How are you Doing So Far
whosyadaddy replied to MissNilsa's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Trivon, i was banded Aug 6th. Had a VG and doc says it was pretty tight to start. Not much restriction to start. I could eat alot. Had my fist fill ..2cc , oh my gosh! what a difference. I can eat 1/2-1/3 of a lean cusiine and thats it!!! Hard to get used to as its such a small amount it just seems weird!!! Im lovin it though!!!! Hang in there it will get much much better. -

I didnt tell my parents back in England and not too sure that i ever will. There really is not much they can do to help so y worry them. I keep it on the down low because of the 'food police'. -

Sassy i took 2 weeks off from my desk job. But to be honest a week and i would of been fine at my desk. I had the option of working at home the third week but i went in Monday and worked tue-thur at home and back in friday. More than anything it was feeling just extra tired when i went back to work. No potti problems. -

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Im so happy for you!!!!!!!!!!! I have about 11 flights planned this year between Oct and April and i am pushing for no extension! I even have my own but i dont want to have to sneak it on!! That must of felt SOOOOOOOOO good to hear it click in. I always stick with isle. Although my all time fav is the little Mid West connects that have 2 and 1 seating. I ALWAYS make sure i get the side with just one seat. I am really going to love it when i dont have to do all the airplane worrying. -

Now for all those poor people in pre op diet hell i have an encouraging story for you. Had my first fill and now i have restriction that yesterday i east a THIRD of a Lean Cuisine meal and i was stuffed like i had just had thanksgiving dinner!!! It really is sooooooo worth it! This is the weirdiset thing...I go to bed feeling full last night and i have eaten maybe 700 calories that day. I am so used to feeling so very hungry when im losing weight that i actually had this guilty feeling i had overeaten all day as i was not starving when i went to bed. It took my a little while to work out why i felt so guilty. The body changes and it takes my brain a while to catch up. If your are Pre op or havnt got your fill right yet, have hope! when its it the right adjustment it ROCKS! -
Cindi-- that sucks. Bat Wings on your motorcycle. I pretty much always wear some kind of jacket, mesh or leather. But then again im a safety crazy guy. I cant stand riding with out my full face helmet now, the wind in my ears i just hate it. Yesterday a bee hit me smack in the middle of my visor, BANG:omg: it made a noise at 50mph. ITs getting down to 65f avg here now and sometimes below 60 at 4.20am (when i leave).

I just tried going to an OA meeting last night. There was only my wife and 2 other ladies there but they said there is usally more. I didnt tell them about my band and i am not sure i want to. I liked it but i do have a little problem with one of the things there that they say. I am working on it.

August Bandsters How are you Doing So Far
whosyadaddy replied to MissNilsa's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Had my first fill yesterday...2cc in my VG band. Then i actualy had a little trouble getting water down after so i must have a good restriction already. Didnt eat. This morning i made my usual 1/2cup egg beaters for breakie at work and i could only eat half of it and i feel like i just had thanksgiving dinner... I know it will ease off over the next couple of days but it sure is nice for now. -

Hey that a good idea Leena! I have alot of weight to loose and i have to remember its not a race. I just want to wake up and be thin..hahaha... Had my first fill yesterday...2cc in my VG band.

areelady- Thanks so much for the encouragement! You keep it up too! Your doing awesome! Week 4 looks like its gona hurt for a while but you keep going ya hear me! :whoo: Dibaby----AWESOME!!! Love those sore abs!!! You keep on keeping on! jmcambra-- i took your advice and started doing a little weights today,arm,chest, shoulders. Used a lower weight and did 25-30 reps, 3 sets per area with about a 20 second rest between. Took 30mins as i wanted to break in slow, i used to lift weights alot in my teens, early 20's and i know the first few times you got to break in slow. Then i swam for 45 mins and o boy was that weird. My arms felt so light i dont think i could go in a straight line. Had my first fill yesterday...2cc in my VG band.

Well im off for my first fill today. Weight loss going well, the excercise is my breaking point. If i dont exercise i dont lose, that simple. Another thing i think has helped me, i promised myself i would eat 3 meals a day and no snacking in between. Even if the meals were a little bigger it would be better than snacking...that really helps. -
o i forgot.... Tues 18th 50 laps of pool.

jmcambra-- heyt thanks thats good advice! I will probably use that info when i get started. I got to say though that the swimming is dropping the pounds off me so maybe i should stick to whats working. I dont know yet, id like to do 4 swims a week and 2-3 weight lifting.
