Mayo Banditos / Friday Weigh In !!!!
sarahbellzz14-4 replied to Scorpioqt's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
6/5/09- 189 5/29/09- 191 Starting weight: 205 Down only 2lbs. Which, I honestly thought I might be up a few, but I'm only down 2 which is rough considering it was 14lbs last week...... Oh well. -
What food stage are you at? What are you eating?

Ann, 2 nights in a row and it has satisfied me. I didn't know trader Joe's sells them, Now I have another excuse to go there!!!!! Yeah the eggs were heaven, made them for myself yesterday, didn't work out so well, B/c I like them cooked until brown, PB'd as well. -
hey, I'm alright, I have a feeling I gained
I haven't weighed myself in a week but I feel kinda hefty today for some reason. -
I told immediate family, Obviously fiance, and a handful of friends. Told my office I was having a cyst removed and when I went back to work (4 days out-way too soon) told them along with the cyst my gall bladder came out. reasons for the wacky diet, I simply said the neutritionist has me on it to get my metabolism going. Now that I'm transitioning to mush soft, I'm watching dramatically what I eat so no one's paying attention anymore. but they're noticing the weight coming off.

where is he stationed elmendorf? my Fiancee gre up in Jewel Lake. We lived there for about a month but had to come back to NYC- Sucks, I wish every single day I was back up there. Good luck on your surgery, I was banded on 5/21...

Literally, as I write this, I just put down a bowl of oatmeal with half the bowl still full. because I AM FULL (and kind of nauscious) I never thought in a million years I would ever say this, but it's the most amazing feeling in the world to just STOP and push the bowl away. and not contemplate finishing it. I am done. god bless science!

Full.... And it feels GREAT
sarahbellzz14-4 replied to sarahbellzz14-4's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Sa, I'm really surprised they're making you transition that severely. It's a build up. to solids. I'm stumped, and I'm sorry sweetie:frown: -

I was liquids 2 weeks before, 1 week after, Puree/mush for a week and now I'm transitioning to Softs. by next week I should be starting semi solids. -
I am not but My fiancee is, he plays guitar. Yeah I heard about that, the slow down, I don't own a scale (yet) but I have a doctors appt in about an hour so I know she'll weigh me. Probably TMI but I think during my surgury because of the pressure on the abdomin my IUD shifted, so I have to see the gyno (Probably MORE TMI but the hunny said he can feel it, and I got my period 2 days after surgery for the 2nd time this month) so it's basically an emergency appt. Yeah My friend is an art teacher and tells everyone she has the coolest job in the world. I am a music junky. have been involved since I was 14 (R.I.P CBGB'S)

Hey how are you? I've been looking for Anchorage people (b/c my heart is still there) going back up there in March. how are you feeling?
-
Hey, My Fiancee is from Anchorage, And I absolutly adore it there! How are you doing?
-
Depends on what I eat it rushes right through me, I have Slight IBS so it's probably irritated, I had DS before I was banded too.
-
I'm doing good, how are you feeling? Yeah I'm a music Journalist by trade, but the 9-5 is in an office. Do you sing or play an instrument? I 100% support music programs & Arts in schools so I give a huge Kudos to you! As for the arthritis, believe it or not since I've been banded and dropped the 14lbs, it hasn't been that bad, just the occasional flare up the past few days b/c the weather here in NYC has been crappy, but not as severe as it was prebanding. Thank you so much for the friends request, I look forward to getting to know you!

Has anyone else stopped losing weight?
sarahbellzz14-4 replied to Dani257969's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I don't have a scale in my house yet (last weighed myself at my moms). So I have no idea what is here and what is gone. I've been looking into gyms. I know I don't have the go ahead to go yet but at this point, ordered some great sneakers yesterday And at this point I'm motivated. -
One of my incions (lower left side) got infected from the plastic seal over the steri-strips. My port incision is still the most painful one especially wearing a bra (reguardless whether it's underwire or not) and I still have swelling around the port site. My doc Strongly suggested against Neosporin, And gave me a few packets of bacitracin.

Banding on May 21st 2009. Who else?
sarahbellzz14-4 replied to lotsabirds's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I'm actually transitioning right now to softs, I too am down 14lbs, Ummmm Room Temperature Fresh Mozzarella with fresh pesto. Has it yesterday and it satisfied me. Had My eggs this morning was amazing!!! and Just had steamed Crab Shumai for dinner. A couple of people have told me that LF refried Beans with LF cheddar cheese. my doc's website say's lentil Soups, bean soups.. oatmeal "watered down" and the grand finally, Polenta. That has gotten me through the week. -

sarahbellzz14-4 replied to Carriedaway78's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Started transitioning to soft foods today FINALLY HAD MY SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH CHEESE TODAY AND THEY WERE WONDERFUL!!!!! at the docs suggestion I tries some LF/Heart healthy deli turkey for lunch. That didn't do so well, got really nausious from it. So now. for dinner. I reccomend from your local sushi place or certain chinese resteraunt, steamed crab or shimp shumai. if you don't know what that is, it's basically, thinly wrapped (dumpling skin) with minced crab or shrimp in it. VERY BLAND so Get some soy or dumpling sauce to dip it in. In my 'hood, it comes 8 peices a serving. they are like a quarter length round and a quarter length high, I'm eating the crab one. I've had 3 1/2 so far and I'm full.. so now it's time to wait so I can have my snapple..... Just a suggestion incase your all sick and tired and need a change. :redface: -
