gilliebean replied to MADE IT 2 MY GOAL..OH YEAH's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

Frantic - please help!!!!!!!
gilliebean replied to chubbydiva's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
you have to settle down cause you can't make good decisions when your emotional. I know its hard and scary. I am sure you will be fine. I know if it was me i would want to keep my band cause i don't want to gain back my weight. Or i would want them to do the bypass. But gaining all my weight back would not be an option i would pick if i had a choice. -
Tired of Jumping Through Hoops -Discouraged
gilliebean replied to SamieTeacher's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
start with calling your primary and see if they are there. What I did was had everything sent to my primary and when my six months was up it was all at the same place. She then sent all paper work to my surgern and they sent it for approval. -
hold up due to night shifts!!!
gilliebean replied to neenz's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I would lie I work night shift to and I know when i tend to eat at work so i plan for it. I don't eat my dinner till im at work cause i know i will want to eat rather i have or haven't so i just wait till im at work so i have my dinner there. Then i get the satisfaction of eatting there without adding calories that i wouldn't have eaten anyway. -

The reason for SF
gilliebean replied to amanda45414's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
the reason is the amount of calories and that fact that sugar is addictive. I personally just sacriface the calories cause i don't like the after taste either. There are some things that are sugar free that don't bother me like jello and some ice creams. -

Ok everyone i baught a eggplant today and don't know what to do with it. I need to know if I can just slice it and cook it in a pan or what i can do to it that will not add fat to it.

My hubby took off work and my mom was here with me to help with the kids and to pick up any slack cause you know men just don't always get it. Never mind when i am in pain or sick i want my mommy so i had the best of both worlds. I got to see my kids, my mom and my hubby it was great.

Ok anyone have any ideas on how to get motivated again. Cause i have been on a platue for almost 3 months now. I have gotten really discouraged. I know i need to get back to watching what i eat and exercising but i just can't seem to get motivated. Any suggestions would be wonderful.
-
Well good luck and im sure you will do fine.

if you have heartburn its one of two things you are either to full or your still irrated and your stomach needs more time to heal. I to can feel my food go down i wait between bits till i can't feel it anymore. If you can feel it thats fine if it hurts then that means your either to tight, ate to big of a bite or didn't chew enough. I like that fact i can feel it cause it lets me know my band is doing its job. If things are feeling like they are backing up in your throat your eatting to fast generally speaking.

what I did is i took 14 oz of skim milk one pack of sugar free carnation instant breakfast and a scoop of either chocolate or vanilla unjury put in a blender and mix. Its pretty good and has like 40 gram of protien or more.

I am so full of gas...I could explode!!
gilliebean replied to ginabobeana's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I would stick it out for a couple of days if your getting in your fluids and see if you stomach is just irrated. Stick to clear liquids for 24 hours then to liquids for the next 24 then to mushies if your having problems once you get to mushies i would have alittle bit taken out but not your whole fill just a little of it. -
3 months post-op and having setbacks...
gilliebean replied to beachygirl2003's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
just do your best to stay hydrated till your doctors appointment. I have had the same problem really makes me mad that im this sick not much is staying down yet i haven't lost any weight either. o well it will be ok i suppose. -
cold cereal, mushy?
gilliebean replied to Sasha2013's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
its probably ok however ceral is evil. Cause it does slip threw the band and so it an issue. It also causes you to crave more once you have had it. If you know you can eat just one serving then go for it but if you have addictive behavior like i do i would stay away. I missed alot of time of being able to lose weight cause i kept eatting ceral. -
My spleen may have been damaged during surgery...!
gilliebean replied to ocbreeze4u's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Ya i would tell him to do it now. If your in the medical profession then you also know that if your spleen ruptures(sp) you could die. I would have it checked now. Also anti inflamitories are bad for your new pouch. -
Heavy and lengthy menstrual cycle after banding?
gilliebean replied to lafrogura's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes this to happened to me i had my period a week before surgery and was upset when two days after surgery i was on it again and then i was on it for like a month. My doctor says its from the trama your body goes threw with the surgery and thats its normal and it will regulate itself. And mine did that. after about three months now its normal. -
well just remember god has his reasons maybe there is a reason you need to wait a week and you may never see that reason but it is there.
