aww. I'm so sorry to hear that you're in a lot of pain. What did they give you for meds? I did have trouble dressing myself for at least 3 days and my doc said I couldn't shower for 48 hrs after the surgery. Trust me it will get better! I think what helped with my healing process was walking around a lot. You have to keep moving (at least when you're awake) I do hope you feel better. Get your rest! xoxo

My doctor said we can still drink alcohol but mainly just liquors and mixed drinks that have no carbonation. He said more than likely after the band you will be a light weight but in a way I guess thats good considering how many calories are in alcohol. The main thing we're not allowed to have once banded is carbonated beverages. Everything else depends on you and how serious you want to lose weight. I hope that answers your question and good luck to you!

Congratulations!!! I can't wait to get to Onederland myself. Thanks for the heads up about smoothies. I never even thought to look how many calories they may have. -

Hip Hop Abs helped break my Plateau!!!
NCsQueen replied to health4life's topic in Fitness & Exercise
Well when my DH was deployed last year, I did Hip Hop Abs for about 3 months and lost about 20 lbs (combined with the eleptical for 20mins at the gym) and I was only working out 3-4 times a week. After he came home for r&r I was so depressed with him leaving again I fell back into my old habits and gained the weight back. :tt2: I know it works if you stick to it, and just like you said its a lot of fun and Shaun T is hilarious. I never tried Zumba but I may have to look into that now. I honestly don't watch the biggest loser that much, but can you explain why you shouldn't fall below 1000 calories? And how many should I be taking in at this point considering the only physical activity I can do right now is walk. Oh and congrats on you weight loss!! 50 lbs in 6 months!! Thats a dream for me! I figured it out that if I do everything like I'm supposed to I could reach my goal by the end of the year. :thumbup: -
Hip Hop Abs helped break my Plateau!!!
NCsQueen replied to health4life's topic in Fitness & Exercise
Healthforlife: I love Hip Hop Abs! :thumbup: I've had mine for about a year. I just recently had my surgery last monday so I can't do it for a couple more weeks. I'm so glad to hear that, that helped break your plateau. I'll be honest, I'm so scared of hitting a plateau because I know myself, I'll get really depressed. I want to lose me weight so badly that my DH said I'm being too hard on myself. For instance, my doctor said I can start mushies this week so yesterday I had a bowl of progresso soup (the weight watchers kind) and I was still hungry so I ate some vienna sausages...well I didn't realize just how many calories are in vienna sausages until after I had already eaten them. When I saw it, I started crying! 120 calories per 3 sausages!!:tt2: So basically my 70 calorie soup turned into a 430 calorie lunch! And I'm only on week 2!! I mean I'm still taking in less than 1000 calories a day but I just want to do good on this so bad. So if you have any advice for a freshman bandster I'm all ears!!!
