Marchies in Nov. (The Month of The Turkey)
sc2va replied to Jeni 85's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I am very nervous as Thanksgiving approaches. I and thankful for so many things including "my band". Let me make a long story short. My family has no knowlege of how I am loosing so much weight (56 pounds--Yes!!). The only thing I have shared with them is that I have changed my eating habits and is exercising. They are not supportive and I KNEW I had to make a change. Nevertheless, I am going home for a week with lots of food, fun and company, but I am SO nervous. Please provide some insight. -
I feel the same way you do and have been in this place before. I go back and review my food journal and do what I was doing to loose the weight. That have meant nothing but protein for 2 weeks or strickly veggies. Remember to drink,drink, drink. Hope this helps.

How the Lap-Band actually works, fills and refills
sc2va replied to Wendell Edwards's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Thanks for the info. However, after "X" amount of fills, can I stop getting them or will I always need a fill? -
I experience the same thing and I try to eat long before a meeting. You so right... it is loud and embrassing.

Thanks-- I don't think that I hit that spot and I had a fill today.
-
I am about to have my 4th fill and the doctor says that this may possibly be my last... ok, so what's next? Am I completely finished with "fills" ? Please provide me some insight.

What is your cardio of choice?
sc2va replied to areellady's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Have anyone tried bellydancing? I hear it is a great form of exercise and I am considering trying it. -
I guess that I was a bit different. I did not tell anyone except my supervisor. I had a surgery on Friday and went back to work on Monday. I told my co-workers that I have choosen a new life which includes eating better and exercising. On a different note, my family does not even know. They did not support me in this decision so they, too, think it is food portion and exercise. Thank goodness I have been able to gain support from this resource and some friends. On the other hand, I hope to someday be able to tell my family-- besides the surgery is over and I look and feel good.

I know how you feel. Let me suggest that you journal your intake and maybe this can help you see what you are eating.
-
Wow! One of the most difficult things for me to do is practice discipline. Although you can eat these things, try really hard not too. Remember this is a tool. You can do it!!!

I was told that my meal should fit into a 1/4 cup. That's not much but I think that is about right. The key to this is drinking Water all day. Janice

Wonderful!

Welcome! I am still new here myself. I have found so much support and help here. As a matter of fact, it is better than my local support group. It appears to me that you can ask any question and get many, many replies.
-
I had to step back to do those things that I did to lose weight. Journal my food, 1 week of liquid diet, exercise and not weigh myself. I guess it will soon make a difference.
-
To avoid additional stress, I don't weigh myself but once a week. As a matter of fact, the scale is out of sight until then.
-
Wonderful!!

Do you know of any good Protein bars? Janice

Seems like Dr. T has a fan club and don't even know it. :clap2: He did my surgery as well. I have found him to be most helpful. The surgeon and his staff makes all the difference. I hope that you find a friendly reception at WLSC just as I did. Best wishes, Janice
