I think that depends on your doctor I had to wait 3 weeks to even go back to work I started walking first the got back into it Ask your doctor

I use to be able to see my port like a big lump sticking out if my stomach. Then one day I went to get an un fill because I was getting sick allot Thought I was too tight and here my port flipped and I had to get it replaced and my doctor put a smaller one in. You can't see it now but you cN feel it

It's true everyone is different all shapes n sizes It doesn't matter. It's the beauty of Zumba It doesn't matter if you can dance or not Everyone is having a great time smiling n loving the music and the people I can say enough about it So addicted 5 1/2 years addicted

I love Zumba I can go every night It's a great workout that feels like your dancing to great Latin music for 55mins It's the best thing that ever started I have been going for over 5 1/2 years I had to stop twice for surgery and believe me it makes a difference in my stomach thighs butt etc I met so awesome people and made some very close friends. There is nothing like it But you have to find a good instructor that makes a difference. And it's Zumba not a jazz class Been to different classes to try other instructors out and you know when you find the right one For me it's Latin not jazz I love it. It's the best Do it you will be hooked

Congrats to everyone!!! I hit my goal a few years ago then gained almost twenty pounds back Might not seem like allot but it's a size and it freaked me out Had to get back on track with food and working out again I couldn't do it I tried and was getting so frustrated so I went and got a small fill Back to my protein shakes and small portions I'm not going backwards I just cant

If you feel that sick and your feeling pain call your doctor... Question : Has anyone had a cold where the mucus that drops and goes into your stomach acts like food so when you eat you end up getting sick ?? It happen to me several times thru the years And now it's doing it again because I have sinuses It's hard to eat plus I feel full Ugh

Are you doing ok now?? I hate when you slime. It's so nasty lol it really is I always feel everyone looks at me that they think all I do is puke. Drives me nuts I carry a bag with me all the time just in case I had little fill the other day. I think it's like 7cc Full now. I am still able to eat but little at a time N have thrown up a couple if times. But doing ok now I needed to do this I have to get back where I was before. Gained a little and I don't need to keep gaining I went from a size 20 to size 16 for a long time and now a size 8. But I want to be at size 6. That's my goal. After the first I'm back at Zumba and this power class I take. N walking Have a great night

Hey Hockeymom Did you try and get it out whatever was stuck? I'll have one piece of meat stuck n that will ruin everything I eat or drink later it's the worse This is gross but I stick my finger down my throat n throw it up. I hate it but it gets it out for me I can't eat red meat steak etc I can eat a half of burger that's it. I can't digest red meat I'm getting a very small fill today I have been able to eat way too much without filling full Time to tighten up until summer I'm thinking Plus my daughter is getting married in October I'll be restricted. But I need a jump start on eating right again. Hope you feel better Lisa

Something sounds wrong I hope you find out I know when I eat too fast n don't chew. I'll puke Can't eat sandwiches. But then sometimes I can So strange I have thrown up allot in the past several years now I go back to my surgeon Dec 26th. Had my gallbladder out I feel allot better Now. But I still get sick. More when I'm getting a cold I'm tempted to get another fill. I want to lose like 20 lbs. I put that in over the past 3 years I'm afraid it will keep going My daughter wedding is coming need a dress n want something hot lol

It's just so hard. I start doing good then I catch myself eating too fast and not chewing I don't weigh myself hardly anymore. I stay around the same give or take some lbs I think I'm going to get a small fill. Get me up and started for the new year My daughter is getting married in October and I joined a gym n walking etc. It's time get get busy Have a very Merry Christmas. I go the day after Christmas for a fill It will help in hope

Yea true thanks I am I have to slow up. I see the old habits after all this time sneaking back in Drives me nuts Can't go backwards Just can't I think that link. Will read it over and over

Mis73. Thanks for all that very important what you wrote and that link. I so needed to read that I have been banded for almost six years but I see myself heading back to my old ways. Time to get a grip I was going to get another fill. I always feel that gets me back in track. But then I'm tight n can't eat yogurt and smoothies. Because I go tight to get myself back I really do not want to feel that way again But i need to get control I'm going to try and get back to eating small portions again Small dish n see if I can hold out about three to four hours. Plus I love sweets something else I need to control I lost my weight all of it but thru the years I gained twenty two back n stayed there I want it off Thanks for the link and the words they meant allot Lisa

Sometimes I can't eat yogurt either and it is more In the morning That's my worse time and one of the important times I so have to slow down when I eat and I have to chew chew chew. I was always a fast eater. And after a while all my bad habits show their nasty head again Now I have to stop and pay attention Even almost at six years I still have issues. Old habits don't die that's for sure. You have to keep trying and trying ugh

It's so hard I do good then I don't Had my gallbladder out and going back to the doctors for a follow up. I might get a fill I gained like only 20 lbs to maybe 25 lbs back and if course I can't get myself back to doing the right thing. Knowing you can get a fill to help Is great and not so great. Because your suppose to be learning to eat right and change your habits So hard But it's been years now and I am happy at were I am. Sounds stupid over 20 lbs but 20 lbs can turn into 30 lbs and so on So you have to be worried I hope all is well with you. Cancer is not a good thing. I only had to deal with Melanoma. My cousins breast cancer and watched my dad die with his liver not pretty Hope your doing well. And keep up what your doing Everyday as we know it is a struggle We are suppose to get snow today but our snow and yours. Is very different People here in Jersey think they will die one day if they don't run to the store lol. It's pretty funny In glad I came back in here I still need support I think I will always need it

It's been almost six years now . Was important decision I made back then and I am so happy I did. I was rough in the beginning getting sick allot adjusting to a new way of eating . Which I did and I didn't . I am Still the same person . I still like my sweets and eat a piece if hoagie / sandwich etc! Growing up I was a very thin person and could eat anything but as I got older things changed Kids hormones women issues etc I ended up putting on 86 lbs. Did the whole thing weight watchers diet pills, diets etc for years Then I was introduced to the Lapband. And now I'm back to myself again I went through allot with getting sick and adjusting. I did gain back like 20 lbs and I'm in a great place!! Working out doing Zumba and power classes walking has all been now part of my normal life! I feel awesome and happy Being between a size 6 and 8 well that makes my day! Very happier with my choice of the Lapband!!

August 5th will be six years Hard to believe it's been that long. I have had my ups and downs in the eating right department I have changed allot but I still love my ice cream and chocolate here and there List 86lbs. Over the years put 20 lbs back on and that's where my body likes to be I do Zumba and have for about 6 years and walking n power classes I feel awesome and I'm so happy Still can't believe it's been almost six years

I'm tempted to get another fill to help Not sure what to do My daughter is getting married in Oct I like to drop this weight I gained It's only around 20 lbs and I am sure if I watched myself and got serious I can do it. But then I know if I get a fill it forces me to really do it Just don't know if I feel like being restricted again I go to see my doctor Dec 26 th for my follow up I has my gallbladder removed Oh decisions decisions lol Do you still get filled??

Thanks. It's still a struggle. And I'm always Adrain I'll gain the weight back well some of it How long for you ?

Hello I also have times were I can eat things n I have no issues. Then I can go back eat the sane thing and I puke. I'll have days were I can't hold anything down Then I'll have days were I am fine I'll never get it. Maybe I eat too fast I don't chew good enough I don't know

My doctor does the same with the chart! I'm almost six years I'm going back for a small fill Gained little over 20lbs n I want it off I do Zumba walk power classes but no matter the weight started creeping back. I don't want 20lbs turning into 30 lbs My eating has changed notice I started going back to my old ways Started back on smaller plates smaller forks I try to pay attention to my stomach. I still get suck here and there. Can not eat meat at all. I can eat fish n chicken veggies n I do a smoothie for fruit. Merry Christmas Happy New Year

I have to say I am addicted to Zumba it's the best been doing it for over two years and it works and you feel good and the music is awesome. but you have to have good instructors and I have two great ones. I love love love Zumba it's the best ever. being in a class is so awesome and you can work at your own pace. i have met so many people and became friends it's awesome. I was banded almost three years ago and Zumba has helped me in so many ways. I do it 4 days a week. I also do Master classes when special instructors come down from all over, it's a blast.

Im almost three years and I try and eat eggs in the morning I can't it is soooo uncomfortable I throw them up as well. mornings are not good it takes me a while to be able to eat. I will make a smoothie but will only be able to take a few sipps then I save it for later. Eggs can not do ever. But then sometimes i can eat a half of a ahlf a sandwich which is weird and have no problems, but the next day if I eat the same type of sandwich i will puke it and it won't down. it's weird. i will have a small little cup of ice cream I mean small to and some nights I can eat eat and some I can not and I puke it. do you have this problem with foods, drinks etc

Today was not a great day for some reason I wanted bread I had a tuna sandwich on a yummy roll took me an hour to eat but I did. Then I had half a piece of a candy bar ugh I feel like a fatty. I was doing so good. I hope that it's over and my craving is done. I still don't know how I ate the roll and didn't puke it, which I usually do if I eat anything like that. Now if I tried it tomorrow yes I will puke. Well I am not hungry at all and still full from 1pm today and it's almost 6pm so there will be no dinner and I will have a smoothie if I do get hungry. They fill me up. frozen fruit greek yogurt water a splenda and a banana that's my smoothie. Tomorrow I shall do better no eating bread. lets hope.
