some of the exercises dont require the board, but its not as fun without it. but i got the biggest loser wii game and i have more fun with that and you dont need the board if you dont want to (:

i just need to know some foods that have high Protein, i havent been getting enough protein and my nutritionist told me to EAT my protein soo foods that go in this order Breakfast foods: lunch foods: dinner foods: can you help me, please? i dont get to see my doctor or nutritionist til i get new insurance, and i seriously can wait to get a fill, i havent had one at all, cause i been sick (nausea) for 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 months (got surgery on 7/31/09)and just started feeling better at the end of december which was when my insurance ended (i had blue cross blue shield child health care plus) i really need one cause i get hungry a lot and i was thinking maybe i get hungry quicker because i wasnt getting enough protein?! (duh!) and does Fiber make you full too, or just make you go to the bathroom? im gonna have my mom get more fruit so i can eat those instead of making bad choices and it does help lol (i feel bad) ugh but yeah and apples keep me full for a while so ya, i made bad food choices for a while but maybe because i didnt know what kind of protein foods to eat? i eat chicken and eggs.. im gonna start eating greek yogurt again and cottage cheese...but yeah can you help me?

thanks for this, i will draw the pyramid and put them in this order and put on my fridge too :biggrin:

thanks :biggrin: i dont have to worry about chicken getting stuck right now, i dont have any fills yet and i cant wait to get my first one, ive been banded for almost 6 months! dang! but yeah good ideas (:

thanks guys i havent had yogurt since before sugery and a couple times after and i had cottage cheese yesturday, it was so good since i havent had it for soooooo long, i have chicken a lot, but i love it plus with some of my fav bbq sauce, Peanut Butter sounds good, wouldnt it make you more full if you have peanut butter and a banana?

thanks so much!! :mad:

thanks (: i hate fish but i like tuna lol i dont eat it much

i do need some, i have no insurance right now, but i do hope i get a new one soon, im not sure how much it costs, i havent asked but i think its up there, i got my surgery done upstate new york, yes we need to support each other and thanks

hi, i had lap band surgery on july 31st 2009, lost 12 pounds before and around 27-36 after, and i feel like i lost focus or something, i need help and encouragement to get back on track, i havent had any fills yet, because i have been so sick and i started feeling better last month, im in desperate need for a fill or two, but i cant cause i dont have insurance right now and im not paying out of pocket ugh. what are the concerns?

some of you know i had nausea for a long time.. what i found useful and helpful was wintergreen icebreakers sugar free mints with flavour crystals, it almost helped instantly, i also used gas-x strips which helped a lot. and mint tea i had a few sips but i felt it helped, im not a tea drinker, also making sure you get enough water helps too duhh lol so yeah i hope this helped those of you who has nausea (:

ohh i think mine started at about the same or earlier but i think its getting better, i dont think its falling out as much now, hope so. oh so is it more than a muffin top? i had fish before, it was so disgusting it made me sick and that was before the band. and about the beef, isnt it because its stringy? yeah chicken goes good for me, either boild or grilled and to make it moist i use my fave BBQ sauce, i dont like anything else on it to make it moist. i had stretch marks since i was around 6yrs old =/ and they're deffinately never go away, but mine arent red, they look white and arent too noticeable, but i have a couple red ones but not too bad. thats the thing about stretch marks, they dont go away, probably if you never had them and get them when youre preg right? but yeah mine are ok, they wont prevent me from the things i wanna do when i get to goal, and if they bother me ill find a way to cover them. yeah i heard the same thing about the stretch marks too and ive seen it too

questions: 1. I will be 6 months out on Jan 31st, will my hair start growing out (it got long but isn't quite thick) and getting thicker again? 2. Is there another way to get enough Protein a day without drinking Protein shakes (they make my stomach really upset now)? 3. For those who are 6+ months out, what is your daily life like, like mainly your daily meal/diet like? (just so i can have a better idea) 4. Did any of you have stretch marks (all your life...before surgery) where? [i have them on my stomach, hips, upper arms, and boob area.] And how much did you lose? Are they still horrible looking? Are you at goal weight? 5. Did you get pregnant (not that i want to, just curious)? How are your stretch marks now? Did they get worse? How many kids did you have (for future refference, I want to have two kids but i'm worried that my stretch marks will get worse, redder, uglier, and just horrendous. 6. Why do you need to get unfilled when being pregnant? 7. Is there anything to cover up stretch marks? Makeup? Tattoos (heard it wasn't a good idea because it'll just look worse?)? is there anything else that works 8. How long do you workout everyday? 9. What was your best expiernce with the band so far? 10. People who didn't get plastic surgery, would you still wear a two piece bathing suit like a bikini? 11. Do you plan on getting PS? Why? 12. Do you feel more confident? 13. Do guys/girls flirt with you more? 14. Do guys/girls ask you out more? 15. Did you find the man/woman of you dreams? 16. How many fills did it take for you to get to your goal weight? 17. When you first got your first fill, what was your expierence like? Was it painful? (people who don't get it numbed, please) 18. Can you give me an idea of what your shopping list would look like? ( i know it has to be healthy and stuff and i want lots of fruit) 19. Is there any fruits or veggies you cant eat because of the band? it would be cool if you all can answer these (: mainly if you are 6+ months out or at goal weight. about the daily meal plan, just want to know so i can buy healthier stuff AGAIN, kind of got out of track and out of hand ): but yeah im starting to get tired of having the same thing over and over i'm in DESPERATE need of a fill or two. i haven't got a fill yet because as some of you may already know, i was sick for 2 and a half months out of surgery and i didnt start feeling 95% better till the end of December, the weekend of my birthday. and since the week of christmas, i started getting hungry an hour after i just ate and its annoying! so yeah and i dont have insurance right now (i had Bluecross blue shield and i guess after you turn 19 they dont cover you anymore) so i MIGH be getting Medicade i'm not really sure, if so i hope they cover the fills because i am NOT paying that out of pocket, i dont have the money

im a high school student and its my last year, i will check into it and what i meant by question one is that some people after surgery their hair falls out a bit, mine got really thin to the point where it looks like i have bald spots but i think its starting to grow back ok chicken i can do but fish i cant cause i dont like it unless its tuna in the can, eggs, milk, cheese, and peanuts yeah for number 5 i meant for after cause i wanna know for like the future and just curious what its like what's pannus? yeah i cant eat veggies raw they taste nasty, they taste so much better steamed, thanks (:
