Since we dont eat as much how often to go
slimmy120 replied to slimmy120's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Glad it is not just me not going every day, was starting to get worried. -
Definately found that to be the case,spreading the food out over the day, and not going to bed not using the energy that you ate mainly at night working for me.

I have lost 67lb since sept 2007, i am on 1200 to 1800 varying cals daily all spread out,breakfast,lunch,dinner,snacks, i tend to be same as you if you have too few calories during the day then unhealthy or massive feed at nightn -- which is not good.

Does your doctor recommend a high protein/low carb diet?
slimmy120 replied to Fanny Adams's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I have been told on a high protein diet you need lots of water otherwise may get kidney troubles. -
I have been feeling real tired,had lap band sep 2007, got tested am extremely low in iron, anyone else have this problem, i am not really eating much meat, but have a vitamin tablet daily,eat nuts, legumes, fish, eggs, cheese, chicken etc.

I tend only to go to toilet every 3 or 4 days now, so am using prunes daily,but doctor said the iron may constipate me, anyone having these problems?
-
They put me on slow fe and gave me vitaminb injection to increase the iron levels,and also going to get iron infusion done, doctor said he thought was common to be low in iron if lapbanded,i had never read anywhere anything about iron before.

I am on zoloft and if i dont take it feel real hungry,sometimes when i take it in the morning it makes heartburn as havent eaten enough,i am tighter in the morning. Are you certain dont have to take in the morning??? my doctor advised take it first thing??? do you take it with your vitamins? I sometimes take at lunch, but thought would make me wide awake if took at nighttime.

STILL have port pain
slimmy120 replied to reenie11's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My port sticks out, and it sticks out more and more now is on my waist line, my specialist said unlike your one told you that the more i lose the more noticeable, and yep you can see it more and more,lost 67lb so far. -
I tend to get bad heartburn, especially in the morning if i take my vitamins without enough food, but today had the tiny tiny chilli sauce, never again,but took antacid tablet and went away in minutes,will always keep in my bag now.

Sades we have vitually the same amount to lose in the end I started 102kg want to get to 63-64, i had my opp 18 sep 2007,have lost 34kilos so far,but in the same months as you are now, lost the same as you, i think you will get there sooner than expected, but even if it takes longer,it definately did not take us as quick to get big,our patience will get us there.

slimmy120 replied to brandyII's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I come from australia, milo is found next to the tea and coffee, it is like little chocolate granuals and people normally make a drink with or without milk in it,hot or cold. it is made by nestle. -
Should i get a proper sports bra? shall i go and get fitted for one or just go to kmart or one of the cheap stores?
-
I got banded 18 sep 2007, am 68lbs down now,and yes it feels wonderful, not being the biggest person in the room,being called slim,getting regular clothes. Good on you,we can get to goal, I have 26 to 28 lbs to go.
-
Will have to look into the liquid b12 and patches.
-
It is reassuring that not only I have noticed differences then, must be to do with the vitamins or weightloss then.

3 meals a day, no snacks...when do you eat fruit?
slimmy120 replied to Bea1128's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
My surgeon said not to snack just 3 meals a day, but most days i have 1 or two healthy snacks,other banisters have been told to snack. My surgeon said do not eat breakfast if not hungry, other surgeons say you must have something at breakfast. -
I was reading in the american chronical that lapbanders need their multivitamin and calcium everyday, and the ones who have had gastric bypass also need vitamin b12 and iron daily. Gosh got to remember the tablets daily,no excuses now!!

I am having 1 or 2 30gr packets of mixed nuts per day -walnuts,cashews,almonds,200 calories per 30 gram serve. Anyone else snacking on nuts as was told to steer clear of them on other weight loss programs. and are they classed as protein??
