Any issues eating popcorn?
Blaze21 replied to MrMom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I eat popcorn very regularly without any problems. -
Congratulations!

Congratulations to you. You have a positive attitude and that will help carry you throughout your journey.

I was told to never take aspirin or ibouprofen or aleve (nsaids) after banding. I had to make sure to put this info on my medical alert tag. You can take tylenol or liquid tylenol for pain.

I hate isopure!!!!!
Blaze21 replied to warriors_journey's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I don't know what your sugar requirements are, but I buy the grape frost isopure and add some countrytime pink lemonade to it to make it tolerable. When you are on full liquids, you can try the sugar free carnation instant breakfast ready to drink btls and add some unflavored protein powder to it, to give it extra protein. -
I live in the philadelphia, pa area. There are whole foods store out here. I will look for it and try it out. Thanks1

You can try a healthy high protein snack like greek yogurt or string cheese, between meals.

I've heard of it but have never seen it where I am. Where did you get it from?
-
I use Isopure zero carb clear protein drinks in the glass bottles. 20oz and 40 grams of protein. I get the grape frost flavor and add lemonade to it to give it a better taste. They come in many fruit flavors. It's pretty good, but a little pricey. They run about $4 a bottle individually. I buy it by the 12pk case at gnc for $40 during gold card week.

I don't have a wii fit, but I have the ea sports active. it's really a great workout. You can customize it to your liking. There's over 25 different activites and has 3 levels of intensity. It comes with a resistance band which is kind of light. I ended up buying a heavier resistance band from ebay. You can use it with or without the balance board from the wii fit.

I did one week of liquids, one week of soft food, then after that I was moved to solid food.

How much weight can you lose with the Lap band in 7 months?
Blaze21 replied to Rose7's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
1-2 lbs per week is the average but it's up to you how much you want to lose. -
I wasn't allowed to do ab workouts until 6 weeks out. You should check with your medical team for their advisement. As far as arms, I do tricep dips. You can youtube or google it for videos on how to do them. They're pretty easy to do.

Down a pound this week. -
Congratulations!

I haven't tried the 5 day pouch test yet. I will be trying it later this week though. I need a jumpstart. I just started exercising again last week and have lost another pound. I took a couple of days off because I was sore, but will be back at this week again.

Lapband for life by dr. Ariel ortiz. It's an older book, but still good. I got mine from amazon.com -

what do you do for exercise?
Blaze21 replied to jllybean1982's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I use the elliptical, treadmill and the ea sports active on the wii. I also throw in the use of biggest loser dvds and use resistance bands for some strength training at home. -
I know the feeling.
-
My life is stress, so I understand where you are coming from. However, it has the opposite effect on my appetite. I just don't eat. I think I ate twice last month due to constant stress that I deal with. I hope someone can chime in and be more helpful.

I'm sorry to hear about your daughter. I hope she gets well soon. -
Upset about Friend getting banded who hasnt even tried to lose weight
Blaze21 replied to Liftingchic's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Maybe she'll get the band and learn the hard way. Some people think it's easy and they're looking to cheat their way through life. -

Blaze21 replied to LeighaMason's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I haven't lost any weight this week. All my fault though. I haven't really been eating, so I have no energy or motivation to exercise.
