Have a glass of water, put on your walking shoes does not have to be long, just a 10 /fifteen minute walk, check out everyones homes gardens etc. Give you ideas for your house. -

No one know i have had lapbanding
slimmy120 replied to slimmy120's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yep will do tell them i am not hungry, have been eating sensibly and moving more. -
I find a 30 minute a walk every day helps, i must admit some days i dont, but some days i get carried away, but gets my metaolism going without much effort then, then i feel less hungry as well and weight comes off.

Thank you for all the advice, and yes i am in Australia. Chickie you look great! I like all the ideas. And as a general comment if someone asks is great, eating less and moving more -- actually that is what i am in theory doing. Thanks hope all you are doing real real well too. -
Myn surgeon did not make me go on any special liquid diet or any diet before my lap banding in sept, he told me was not necessary, my weight before lapbanding was 204lbs, am 5 ft 4.:biggrin:

Anyone been banded 18 sept 2007 or near
slimmy120 replied to slimmy120's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Yes i agree, i tend to eat the same things over and over, but then have a craving and start eating that. I am aiming to excercise more, am making certain eat right and drinking water, will change my routine as you suggested, taste the new bits -- but yes healthy.I tried miso soup the other day, lovely as i like salty things, and of course previously loved the sweets --- but i did say previously. -
Hi i was wondering how you are going, any problems, what you eating,how much , how much have you lost - my starting weight was 102 and i have lost 27.7 kilos so far, what has happened how are you going??
-
Thank you for your response, been thinking yes i am getting older and when get to goal, so what if i dont look so crash hot without clothes on, but can wear the appropriate clothes and look good and at least feel good and healthy.

Pre-bander questions for those at Goal?
slimmy120 replied to MollyTaMolly's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I have been reading everyones responses, after reading various posts,on this question and others I noticed YOU have to combine a few things together -- your head,you have to be motivated, what you eat, and excercise. You need to do all not just one to get the results you want, and it can be done!!
