What are your daily eating habits?
LovedinFL posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey , so I was wondering for people who have had the lap band 6 months or longer, what are your daily eating habits? How have they changed? Do you measure your food? Any recipies you love that you want to share? I have had my band since June and I am trying to teach myself how to eat differently. I still eat basically the same foods, just not as much of it. But it is so hard to change my cooking habits. I wish there was a cooking class for weight loss surgery patients. Anyway, I was just wondering if we could compare some of our new eating rituals. I know we are all different but we might get some new ideas. :thumbup: -
It took forever for me to notice my weight loss and everyone around me was like what the hell are you blind. Body image is so weird and honestly I think people look at me I am still 260....it is very weird transistion and I struggle with it everyday. I am really hard on myself too! I just had emergency gallbladder surgery and had my band all the way unfilled two weeks ago...I have gained 8 pounds and I started my period too. I had a really unhealthy weight loss and I lost about half my hair so trust me gradual is better...you have beautiful hair and you will want to keep it! You just need to keep on going girl and it will be a great feeling when you hit goal. How much have you lost?

The Tool show was amazing!! I have wanted to see them forever they were on my list of top 5's to see before I die...so I have seen Metallica, Slipknot, Tool, Marilyn Manson, Korn and just have Rage Against the Machine and I can die happy. Maynard was so amazing and captivating and hippie like vibe was so kool!
Have you seen them?

~> so this is what a "sweet spot" means!!
LovedinFL replied to sandibly's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hello, I was at the same place that you were with thinking I must be at a good spot cause I definatly couldn't eat as much as I used to but I was finding that I was still hungry a couple hours later. So this past monday, I went to the Dr for another check up and he said ok well I am going to give you another fill and then I think you will be at your Sweet spot. Sure enough, I think I am finally there. I am at 5cc and can't really eat anything Doughy like you said. I also have to take my time eating and chew chew chew. Which honestly is A LOT harder then I had thought it would be. That has probablly been the hardest thing to learn yet. But I am slowly getting better at it. The more food that gets stuck the faster I am learning. LOL. Now that I am at a good spot its like the weight is jsut falling off YAY! Well good luck and let me know how you are making out with your sweet spot. It is always nice to share with someone who is going through the same thing. -
Jealous Boyfriend
LovedinFL replied to MustLooseIt's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sounds like maybe your bf has some insecurity himself and until he is able to work on that then who knows what he would have been like in the future. He should be happy and proud to have you on his arm and no that you aren't going anywhere. Besides the other ppl were right the weight you have lost so far (while it is a huge accomplisment) is really nothing. I mean what would have happened when you lost 70lbs. Everything happens for a reason. and who knows maybe after a couple days without you he will realize what an ass he was being. But if he doesn't then it just means there is a better man out there for you in your future. Sorry you are hurting.....STUPID BOYS!! LOL -
Feeling Down, looking for a little support
LovedinFL replied to LovedinFL's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey thank you sooo much everyone for your support and words of wisdom.... I know 30lbs is a lot and I know the process will be slow. I guess its like im in that stuck in the middle stage you know in between sizes. To little for my regular clothes but not quite small enough to be in a smaller size. That is annoying. And I do just have to get working out in to my everyday routine. Once I can get it to be part of my routine I know I will feel weird when the day comes that I don't work out. I am so happy that I chose to do this for my life and my families life.They are very supportive through all this but sometime you just need to here some wisdom from the people who know exactly what you are feeling. So thanks again, Everyone and we will all be GREAT success stories for our future I just know it. Im on my way to becoming one hot MILF...(LMAO) -

biotin for hairloss??
LovedinFL replied to crg2cng's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have been taking Biotin and I think it has really helped. Not just with the surgery but just in general. I have thin hair anyway and this has made my hair feel much more healthy and thick -
Thank you very much and I will check out the forum, I didn't realize they had that.

Hey, I was just wondering how many of you went ahead and had a tummy tuck after you lost your weight? Did it hurt? DO you regret it? Or are there some of you who feel like you worked out enough and don't need one? I am just wondering if the majority of us will need a tummy tuck or if there is a possibility that with exercise I may not have to get more surgery. I know everyone is different , with how their skin is and their age and all that, but I am 30 years old and want to look my best and if that means getting a tummy tuck then so be it. Thanks for anyone and everyones input!:smile2:
