Hi I am wondering if anyone has suggestions on toning hard places? Or good tips for toning... I have lost weight and now have flabby arms and loose skin in the neck area. Thanks:wink2:

Getting restriction with 14cc band
kathyk1256 replied to greta's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I also have a 14 cc band. I had my first fill yesterday of 3cc and so far I do not see a difference. -
Hi I had my surgery May 28th and I am walking daily. I've felt pretty good with no pains or soreness except today I am very sore. The soreness is in my abdomin, like I did too many situps (and I couldnt do any right now)... I walked about an hour yesterday... could I have possibly over did it? Should I take a break from walking so often? Or is this normal?? Thank you :bored:

Ohh thanks Sue. I think I sat beside you at a recent support group meeting ( 4/30 Adam & Arthur Glasgow). You were talking about your tummy tuck..
I have realized that I have to listen to my body.. and stop when Im full. I think thats the hardest thing. Right now I havent had any fills... When does the first fill occur.. or does it depend on person?

I have found a great protein powder call Jay Robb. You can buy it directly from the company.. I mix 1 scoop of it with my Carnation Instant Breakfast. I also have tried Unjury... thats pretty good too. Good Luck:rolleyes2:

I had my surgery May 28th (thurs) and went to work for 1 day the following week and it wiped me out. I have an office job too. I think you should take at least 4-5 days off if you can just to be careful. I have my protein stuff in my desk drawers and a shake cup as well. Every monday I buy 1 gallon of milk and Im good to go. Good luck!!

Good for you with such a good start. I don't watch my food intake like I used to and I recently had surgery so my physical activity isn't what it used to be. I play around with 5 pounds and start watching what I'm eating more closely when it starts to creep up toward the top of the 5 pound leeway that I allow myself. I could lose more if I wanted to, however I'm almost 50 and I don't want to have any more loose skin on my neck because it's very wrinkly. Best wishes to you and your new band.

Hi I was banded on May 28th and I am a very outgoing person with a bubbly personality. Being a big woman I needed to have a great personality for people to want to talk to me and get to know me. Then they would be able to make a fair opinion of who I am... not just judge me from my appearance. Once they get to know me Im often told I have a great personality.. and a great person. My boyfriend is worried the weight loss is going to change me... as a person. I really dont know if I will change. I guess he is worried that I wont want to be with him b/c I will be losing weight and can get a new boyfriend. I dont meant to make this post so personal but just wondered if anyone else noticed changing in this manner.. perhaps new friends... more vain.... stuck up etc. -
Hi.. I know not a great topic, but I need advice. I am almost 2 weeks post op and I am having a tough time with constipation. I cannot find a happy medium to what works. Anyone have any tricks they'd like to share that may help.. thanks

Good for you... Its a long journey but the reward will be amazing. I too am going to have lapband done. I have done 3 or the 4 required tests (appts). I hope to have surgery May 28th. Could you let me know your progress after surgery? Thank you Kathy
