    Had surgery Dec 08 have lost 45 lbs from a start of 200 lbs but have plateud for about 4 mths have had 7 fills now at 7.5 in 10cc band. When I go to office and stand on machine my BMR is 1200 so have been told to loose weight with such a low metabolism can only eat about 1100 to 1150 calories a day . Thats hard and to execise to. Tough for us with low metababolism's

    Im a NICU Rn and took a month off , on disability after surgery. I felt I needed it just because of 12 hr shifts being tired and only liquids for first few weeks etc. I also have an intermittent sick leave for a year so upto 3 sick days at a time dont count towards the hospital sick leave policy. I was glad I took the month off

    Trader Joes have some fruit bars similar to fruit rollups, not ideal but less carbs and fat than a candy bar, or try jello sugar free and cool whip. Walmart sell jello cobes in a bag for about $1.35 no sugar good for snack at work etc, even my kids like them

    It seems so I started out at 200 lbs , 5ft 2 in and am down 32 lbs since surgery mid Dec, I have about 35 to go . I keep being told it comes off slower if you are not really really heavy to begin with but is frustrating at times, Ive been losing 4-6 lbs a month for past 2 mths. But goiod news havnt put any back on

    I wiuld think yhou should be able to go to your local emergency room and have it treated as an emergency just explin what you need doing, or have your original doc fax them your info
  17. taylorgirl1

    My Dr group does a once a month clothing exchange you bring your big clothes and take smaller ones great for folks like me 1/2 way there but dont want to buy tons of new clothes right now. Im looking for smarter style clothes in medium somewhere around a 12-14 right now if anyone has anything.

    ok going to ask pizza and pasta

    taylorgirl1 replied to sandi1011's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Funny as I read this I ws eating pizza, treated the kids to pizza tonight, had 2/3 of a slice stuffed crust took me about 20 mins, thats about all I eat of pizza now, before would have been 3 slices, etc. So a little in moderation is ok, I think, I also have some salad , sprtzed with dressing
  23. taylorgirl1
    Why when you get a fill , on that day it seems like no restriction , even though you are on liquids or very soft, next day fill really seems to kick in. Is that just me or do others have that feeling?
  24. taylorgirl1
    No, its not was banded Dec 08 have lost 30 lbs , last week went to a diner with a friend I ate half a sanwich then had a oice of lemon meringue pie, it was my only treat in the week.Before the band would have eaten a whole sandwich, fries and 2 pieces of pie. Ypu can eat normally just less
