raelita replied to shelley2b's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Congrats to everyone! I weighed myself this morning and I was 303 lbs. I am 4 pounds away from 299. Yay for me. It will be 2 years since I have been in the 290s.:wink2: -
HELLO ALL....I am getting ready to advance to soft foods like shrimp, fish, etc. Has anyone had crawfish 4 weeks after being band? If so did you have any issues with it?

defending my band to someone who doesn't get it- what are good things to say?
raelita replied to Just Banded's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Just Banded, I am sorry you had to go thru that with your mother in law. That is why I am SO glad ONLY my husband knows I was banded. I would love to tell everyone, but I can't handle having to defend my choice right now. I have to focus on changing how I think, feel, and react to food. I have to work on fixing my obession with food and not others ignorance toward the band and people that are banded. I was having problems with my stomache and people at work knew I was having surgery, because of those issue. I did not and would never tell them about the band. I don't need to watched or lectured. So at this point think the most important person that needed to know knows. As well as my BANDSTER BUDDIES. Oh, BTW did I say I LOVE THIS SITE!! -
This is an awesome idea! My DH came up with a similar system. For every 25lbs I lose I will be rewarded with a gold charm for my charm braclet.:scared2:

only 6 days with a band, should I do VSG
raelita replied to brileysmom's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Wow! I am newly banded also. I am so sorry about your band slippage. I didn't know the band could slip the first day. If you researched your options and discussed things with your husband and you are ok with the VSG I think you should go for it. I have read a lot of good stuff about the VSG. There is a blogger, Wasabubblebutt, who knows ALOT about this stuff. She is always posting. Maybe you could look her up and talk to her. Once again, I am sorry about your slippage. -
Thank you soo much for the suggestions. I talked with him today and I can only have protein shakes, water, and decaf tea.
I just started my second week and tonight I broke the rules and had some tomato soup. I just could not handle only drinking protein shakes. I hate being a cheater. How did you customize your blog? -
Can you feel your port during sex? Does it hurt when someone is on top or does it feel the same?

Hey, I've got the same froggy ticker as you...great minds think alike, huh? Lol! I actually didn't mind the slim fast shakes, but having bouillon and smooth varieties of Campbell's soup at hand and/or Lipton Cup-a-soup were also great to break up the monotony. Did your doc say only liquids or only the ones you mentioned? Luckily, I could have any liquids, but if not, then maybe you can mix OJ into vanilla protein shakes (yummy creamsicle). I know ppl have all kinds of protein shake "recipes" on here, it just depends on whether you're allowed to add fruit, juice, strawberry sf syrup, etc. Good luck!
