When going to a restaurant, what do you order?
KelinTx replied to laniayala's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I eat out quite often. Pretty much order what ever i want with the exception of anything bready. I ALWAYS ALWAYS ask for a to go box when they bring the food. Right away i pack up anything beyond the portion im goin to have that way im not tempted to eat beyond control. -
AWESOME PROGRESS wtg!! Great photo.

I wanted to be able to go out in public an not have the feeling like i was being stared at for being so huge. I wanted to FIT IN..........fit in restaurant booths, fit in airplane seats, fit in designer clothing and shoes from any store i so desired.

I lost a TON of hair, started losing it 6 months out and continued losing hair for a good 3 months (thank god i had a ton of hair to begin with). I can tell its finally all growing back because i have a ton of short hairs that stick up now. I always got adequate protein and took the required vitamins so my opinion is that is just something us bandsters must deal with.

How much do you eat before you feel full?
KelinTx replied to bpenney's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Im one of those people who are to tight to eat in the morning. Im filled to 10cc in a 11cc band. I eat about a cup if not a lil more then a cup of food at a time 3 times a day. I always make sure to eat my protein first. -
I found something called liquid BABY POWDER in walmart not so long ago that worked like a charm. It goes on like a cream but drys into powder form and smells great!

One of my fave mushies was a recipe i found on this site. Its a lil ricotta cheese mixed with some spaghetti sauce and some shredded mozarella. Nuke till warm. Tastes like lazagna and filling as well! I still use it today as a meal after i have fills.

Best of luck to you Jason and Titania!

How many incisions did you wind up with after surgery?
KelinTx replied to JennyC724's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I have 4......2 were more like punctures that are no longer even visible to the eye, another one is the size of my pinky nail and my port scar basically is the only visible one being almost an inch long. -

Was really glad to read this thread. Im a good milk drinker, moderate exerciser...never have tried the massage thingy and at this stage of the game im a massive flab ball! My arms are so flabby i swear i could take flight in a fierce wind storm! If anyone else has any suggestions other then a plastic surgery intervention bring them on please !!
-
I would also suggest getting a fill even if its just a tiny one. May just be the jump start to get you back on track.
-
I must admit that i had regular coffee the day after surgery and did not have one problem with it.
-
Congrats on your aprroval......wishing you much success.

I eat a salad every night for dinner and im filled to 10 cc in a 11 cc band! Granted i must chew VERY WELL and eat slow. I think its all in what the individual can tolerate.

I also think you look SUPER in your photo! I think its all about feeling good about yourself no matter what other folks say!

clothes don't fit like they used to?
KelinTx replied to hope2bhealthy's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I seem to have lost most of my weight from the waist down! Its very odd. Im still waiting for my torso and boobs to lose as much as the rest of me! But none the less im a happy camper! -
I have always just focused on 10 pound incriments. Was not so overwhelming to look at it that way for me!

What kind of Foods can you eat witht he band?
KelinTx replied to kristylyn's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi there ive been banded just over a year and a half and am filled to 10cc in a 11 cc band. I can still eat pretty much what ever i want with the exception of bread and very dry meats. I just can eat only very small portions and have to eat very slowly.
