  1. hey (: the first week was horrible. but im doing a lot better now. im almost back to normal and i only lost 10-11 pounds since surgery, would have liked to have lost a little more than that but as ive been told these weeks are for healing, but im doing fine (:

  2. I hate that feeling ): I know I'll make sure to be careful and what I ate was kind of dry so that could of been why to but when I do it again it'll probably be worse huh?
  3. pb stands for productive burp And Im pretty sure I had too big a mouth full and I ate it fast, that sucks lol I won't do that again
  4. hey I'm not 20 but I'm 18 (: I didn't have a good expieriance the first week I was nauseated and I actually had to go to the ER one day but it didn't do much help but I went and saw my surgeron that week and gave me better nausea pill now I'm better (: my surgery was July 31st I lost 12 pounds before pre op 8 pounds on pre op and 11 pounds after surgery. I'm on mushy stage and it's all right, I'm going to start walking twice a day every other day and the other day walk once and this Friday I'm going to add a light workout. The only people who know are people in my household. Like what kind of goals? It's been getting better so far. I have the band that has a fill in of when they put it in I don't get a fill for another 3 weeks and it kind of scares me. But yup I'm looking for people my age as well(:
  5. It sounds exactly like what I had I'm glad I didn't have the sliming but does that feel like you got to vomit? It's so horrible
  6. did anyone expierance PBS and slimming
  7. and why do we get them? How to prevent it, if possible?
  8. to walk a mile in the morning and walk a mile in the afternoon on the treadmil? two weeks post op just so you know and i was thinking of walking twice a day every other day and i cant think of anything to have for breakfast, cream of wheat hurt my stomach today so i dont want that, eggs eh, i dont know what else to have for mushie stage, yogurt doesnt really fill me up, and i really dont know what to have for lunch either, i had an omlet today and it made me full but i dont want that everyday, any suggestions for breakfast and lunch? thanks

    will this be ok

    I printed some out
  10. thanks (: people already say im looking thinner i have a realistic goal and that is to be at 185 whenever i hit it. then when i hit it ill set another mini goal im not expecting the band to make me thin over night at least i feel happier now and when i have people like you guys, you help out alot. i will get to my goal when i get to it, im in no hurry, like many said, when i get good restriction it will begin to work. i do have a band that has a fill when they put it in, so i have little restriction but not enough.
  11. i feel like im going to fail at this, i feel like im never going to get to my goal, and i do know im only 2 weeks post op but shouldn't i have lost a pound or two at least? i feel like ill never exercise enough (im walking and that all im doing so far, i dunno what else i could do that isnt too much *sigh*) i wish i had a lapband buddy to walk and exercise with everyday, my mom was supposed to get the surgery but they told her shes no longer a canidate for the surgery since shes now under the BMI by one her BMI is 34, shes supposed to go walking with me but hasnt and my grandma and dad has ugh but i really wish i had a friend that was going through this, it would make things so much easier and less stressful, so i just need encouragement, can you please give me some exercising ideas please, i think that'll help alot!

    I'm using vanilla (: and thanks!
  13. thanks (: I really don't know, she doesn't really have a cell phone and no money to buy minutes, she don't even call me but she's always at her sisters or baby sitting or with her boyfriend she did tell me she misses me and we might hang out on Tuesday or Wednesday aftter I see my surgeron but I guess I really haven't seen anyone because they don't want to hang out which is tough but anyways I can exercise too and I shouldn't lift anything over 20 pounds just to be safe but I have no clue what I'd like to do for exercises, think I'll just stick to walking for now and 2 pound weights Oh I forgot that someone said something about school, yeah the teachers usually keep us busy and we sit most of the day but have 5 mins in between classes and I usually speed walk to my classes and some of my classes will be up stairs and I don't walk up them, I like to get up them as fast as possible so no one gets mad at me. Gym Is every other day and sometimes she really works us but I really like my gym teacher, and I was thinking that a few weeks after school starts I'll go to the weight room to walk and maybe sometimes use the eliptical machine. And the whole cosmetology thing, is at a different school called Boces or CV-Tec and it's a longish walk to get from the bus to the class and I brought one of those step counters to school one day and I walked over 1000 steps so that's good so being at school and doing something from 5-3 should help me with a steady or just help me with my weight loss
  14. womanizer is a good song by her and circus, someone also said something about dancing to music in my room for 30 mins and I heard about jazzercise or whatever it's called and I know it's time for healing and yeah I'm deffinately bored that could be why, I miss my friends I haven't hung out with my bestie since July 8th and my summer has been very boring, nothing fun to do and the weather in ny just started to get hotter out and I do have anxiety and I worry alot I've always been that way, the closes support groups are a hour and 30 mins away and I was told I was the youngest they've banded and everytime I went to a class or a appt. I have never seen anyone my age and no one suggest to meet up with any one so hmh, but I'm really bored and my summer really sucks

I'll have cottage cheese for lunch and try some honey in it, I'm aloud to have fruit and a smoothie sounds so good and they made me full before so they'll make me even more full now and the best thing is that we have lots of bananas and strawberries can you give me a recipie of what else to put in it? Thanks (:

    Scar(s)...?

    I have 5 incissions one has fallen off, my incissions were glued closed I'm only 2 weeks post op but they are healing nicley besides one, the one all the way on the left looks infected and really itchy I don't know what to do for that but I think that's the only one that will be visible and vitamin E oil is really good I think I'll get some later on too.

    Need Lap Band Buddy / Mentor Young Teen!

    i have a bad knee and i love the eliptical, i wish i had one of my own. hmm i guess walking twice a day will be good enough, when six weeks get here i want to slowly start running since i never could run too good before since my knee and my ankle but maybe by then itll be better cause ill be lighter. im gonna add in DDR and wii fit, workout DVD's and lightly do weights. that sounds cool, theres a YMCA around here but i dunno how it costs. ah so yeah im gonna play DDR and go for a walk tonight, i hope by wednesday when i go see my surgeron again, i lost some pounds, good luck to you too (:
  22. thats good, my mini goal is to get to 185 and my overall goal is to get in the 120s or 115, yeah thats low but its what makes me in the normal BMI, im gonna do mini goals

  23. What did you do besides walking (I'm already doing that) need exercising tips
