Hi and welcome

I met with my personal trainer for the first time on the 7th day post op :thumbup: I haven't stopped since. I work out 3-6 days a week depending on how much time I have.

Just thought I would check in with an update. I am doing great still I can't feel any pain. My incisions since they are glue are barely noticeable. I am back to work full time. Post op appt the other day and the doc told me to eat anything I want just in small portions and chew. My weight has stalled since switching over to food obviously. I am not regaining so thats a definite plus. I will just have to really watch the food intake for the next few weeks close. I have a fill on 6/12... seems like forever.. I have made it this far though so I will try to be patient. If I follow the rules and eat slow I definetly find I eat alot less and fill up faster. My guilty pleasure right now is my craving for grapefruits with salt... don't ask me I don't know where it came from.

You should check out the Couch to 5k threads in the fitness threads :cursing: I am about to start on one of those as I would love to go back to jogging. I am 2 weeks post op and do a fast walk of 3 miles a few times a week. -

Bowling a week after surgery??
Brandy~ replied to needtolose's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I jog/walk 3-5 days a week, weight train 2x per week and I am going bowling this weekend. If I haven't felt pain from the crunch my personal trainer puts on me I am sure that I can go bowling and I am 2 weeks post op. I think that what you can do is totally different for each person. Consult your doctor... When you do make sure to tell him everything like I can walk 3 miles and not experience pain etc.. That will give him a feel for your healing capabilities and your tolerance to exercise. -
Congrats and Good luck I had wonderful luck with my BCBS and found out within 1 day of submitting to them.

Thats the same one i have and I love it.

They are... But you're gonna wanna stay away from Beans for the first few months I am sure... You're gonna already have tons of gas.

I was trying to use it but I always forget or just dont have time.. But when I do use it I think it's close to accurate.

I *HATE* protein supplements/Jamba Juice
Brandy~ replied to mommakatx2's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I was really excited about this until I saw the calorie count on this site. I am guessing this is per pill :thumbup: http://www.totaldiscountvitamins.com/default.asp?CatalogID=7176&SubfolderID=76&AssocID=nextag -
I cannot sleep without being on my stomach either and I was banded 4/23. I did have to deal with a couple nights of being on my back but I was so exhausted that it didnt matter. Now I am back to my stomach and it's heaven... No pain no irritation just great sleep.
