My favorite Band Friendly Foods...
Ms. Robbie commented on julie.ann's blog entry in My Secret Journey
Julie Ann, Where (which dept.) do you find the Walmart stuffed chicken breasts? Canned meats? Frozen foods? I have never noticed them. How much do they cost? Ms. Rob -
Slim n 6 is two workout dvds that have a few workout videos u can choose from. The first workout is start it up for beginners, ramp it up, that's after you finish the start it up & burn it up. There's also a 10 minute ab workout. U can google it by searching slim in 6 and I think beachbody. Its basiclly aerobics (spell wrong)

My favorite Band Friendly Foods...
Ms. Robbie commented on julie.ann's blog entry in My Secret Journey
Hi Julie Ann, I thought I was the only person on this site who kept the surgery a secret! It is good to know someone else had the same feelings I have. Only my husband and grown daughters and my best friend know about my surgery. Everyone else knows I am now eating healthier and smaller meals and working out. Some assume "weight watchers". I did not want the band to get all the credit for my weight lost. I know I must make good choices and it is not automatic. I had my surgery last April. So far I have lost almost 70 lbs. From a size 18 to a size 8 now. I am very happy with my decision. I want to lose 20 more to be at 149. For the first time in my life, I have hope that I will maintain my weight loss. I am having problems losing any more, but don't feel I eat very much at all. My body is trying to hold on to the extra lbs. But I will take my time. Here's to our great secret!! Ms. Rob -
Wow! Congrats to you! My question: Did you lose steady or bounce around like I have done? I was banded last April. 08 So far lost 66 lbs. My Dr. is pleased. Was a 18 now a 8/10. I have 20 more to lose till my goal. Trying to work out most days. Please describe what you eat in a normal day. Seems like I only eat a handful a day, but not losing. Thanks!

Thanks for the encouragement!

Thanks for your comments Ms. Robbie. I currently have 7 cc's in a 10 cc band. I don't have much restriction right now (I think the weight loss loosen's the band), but I never went with being overly restricted. I have always been able to eat about 3-4 oz of protein and at least a cup of other stuff (ie veggies and/or carbs). This works very well for me and I hardly ever get stuck. I find the band most helpful in that I don't really get hungry between meals (except for the evil head hunger which I still have). Great job so far!!!! Keep up the good work!

I am a senior pastor's wife from Texas. We have our own special challenges! I was banded April 08- and I am new to the forum. Going slow, but having some progress. God is so good for us to have this tool. I welcome any responses. Blessings~ Ms. Rob:biggrin2:

Spread Sheet for Tracking April Avengers 08

Hey Jess, What are you eating during the day? Let me know....thanks -
Carol,
I am a new member here- ran across your entry....you seem so distressed. I feel for you. I was banded in April and haven't lost as much as most of the other people banded then....but I know this is just a tool, not a quick fix. Take you time and take it one hour at a time. That is what I am doing. God WILL help you. He is helping me.

Spread Sheet for Tracking April Avengers 08
Ms. Robbie replied to GiGiRN's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hello, I am new to the site. I was banded April 16, 2008. I have had no support from any other bandters..only my hubby and daughters and best friend know about the surgery. I have been discouraged because I have only lost a total of 24 lbs. and that was the first 6 weeks after my surgery....My Dr. is happy with my progress, but after looking at the other comments here on the site, seems like I am going soooo slow. I just got a fill this week and it is really tight, so perhaps now I will start losing. I am at a total of 5.5 CC. I go back in 6 weeks. Is there a chat room just for April 08 bandsters? Thanks!
