flabuless replied to mikkozoe's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Been there, done that, still there sometimes but getting better...Its an ongoing lifechange sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't...having the fill certainly does help but i have the problem that I see food i want to eat...even if I am not hungry persay so that is a deamon I am still dealing with...best luck for your fill. It is very exciting. I am having another on the 22nd so hopefully I will get to my 'sweet spot' becky -

Surgery 12/20/06! Does anyone have advice on the liquid multivitamin?
flabuless replied to kaboom 13's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I take liquid vitamins...works for me...but our brands in New Zealand are different from yours in US so i wont try and recommend any! hehehe!! becky -
I know its a nuicence isn't it...but you can usually tell it for what it is from a mile off they are not very creative in how they present it...what I think is funny is why they think a weightloss community would be interested in most of what they are offering! I mean HELLO! becky

haha very cute! becky

flabuless replied to margo281's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Welcome to LBT margo281 I have a hypothyroid condition and I was accepted for lapband...Best thing I have ever done...dont regret it in the least...the surgery (although I was pretty nervous going in) was uneventful and I was up and walking within the first 24hrs...you are to be congratulated for wanting to turn yours and your husbands life around...Best wishes on your search for answers.. becky -
I stuck with a liquid vitamin, just in case...seems easier. becky

What is your typical Menu as a Bandster?
flabuless replied to tonya66's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I usually eat a couple of pieces of sandwich toast for breakfast a couple of small cracker biscuits for morning tea a pitabread with some kind of filling for lunch (ie cottage cheese & tuna) a couple of low calorie sweet biscuits for afternoon tea (arrowroot) and meat and veges for dinner...my servings are the inside circle of a side plate. becky -

Do you measure your food with a cup or a scale?
flabuless replied to derbygirl's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I eat to the inner circle of a side plate (ie for toast/bread etc) that's how i try and gage the amount of what I am eating...it works for me! becky -
My trainer said to start running by telephone posts (we have them here) ie run to a post, walk the next, run, walk etc etc. and then change the pattern run x 2, walk 1 etc etc...and build it up until you are running the whole way...I haven't tried it yet...still got a fair bit to loose and it wrecks my weak ankles but probably because I am doing it wrong. becky
