Im by madison n cicero. i take aqua fitness class tues n thurs nites so im free mon n weds whats up where r u

thanks again ymjackson

thanks i got the drinkin part but do u eat b4 or after u work out

I added protein n fiber 2 my diet 2day n oh boy the gas blew me away. I didnt even have this much gas after surgery. Is this normal? share ur experience with me

~thanks i guess it depends on how hungry i am n how late it is after my wrk out. since my fill now i can exercise n my doc sd after a couple of bites of food i should b full 4-5 hrs. along with my water n diet snapple. i thought after working out u work up an appetite??

thanks. im tryin 2 decide which one works best 4me. i guess it depends on how hungry i am n how late it is

after ur post-op visit u told ur doc that u were hungry n could eat any n everything n he didnt schedule u a fill? smh! well every doc is different . be 4 surgery did u all discuss how often the fills will b given? maybe ur nt gettin enough Protein to hold u over n make u full. make an appointment with ur nutristionist n drink drink drink. I had surgery nov 23rd 09 n had my 1st fill dec 21st n it really gave me restriction. at 1st i thought that food was getting stuck n my chest n it hurted then i told my doc n he sd thats what restriction is n my body was telling me that i was full. wow i didnt know when 2 stop eating. i hope u get a fill b4 jan 21st but this is definitely hard wrk n u have 2 have self control n make the right food choices. best wishes let me know how things go.. 3lbs from onederland

what is zinc where can i get it from my hair is coming out so bad n i dnt wnt 2 have 2 cut it off

as far as the juices that are not sugar free just dlute it with Water half and half. u can have the sugar-free popscycles and sugar-free Jello and diet snapple. I know it seems like a lot but in time u will get the hang of it. dont stess because that will make matters worse. just take one day at a time and ask ur doc or nutristionist or visit here and we all will do the best that we can to assist u.I am still new to the band myself I just had surgery nov 24th 2009 and trust me Ihave a lot of questions myself that need to be answered. I wish u a speedy recovery. be blessed 215lbs at surgery 202 12-28-09 3lbs to onederland

congrads but y in feb was Jan full???

Went 2 the doctor 2day n I found out that I wasnt eating right. I also found out the hurting feeling n my chest was restriction n thats when I was suppose 2 stop eating. hopefully now that I know better I will do better n the weight will come off...

thanks so much

I had a fill on the 21st n i thought i had restriction for a couple of days. I thought everything was fine. Now i where is the restriction? My weight is like a yoyo up n down back n forth! Why is this happening 2 me? Why is this so complicated? Im watching what i eat then when i eat what im suppose 2 no weight loss but when i bend n try a little something 1-3 lbs come off. :-( now 2day i weigh myself n the weight went up. Im so freaking frustrated with the choices im making n i dnt know what 2 do. Did i make the wrong decision getting this band? Is there anyone out there that can help me? I dnt need any smart ass comments help n encouragement is what i need...

I had surgery november 24th 2009

thanks a lot. I see my doc 2morrow. n ur right I was weighing myself everyday. I will start my journal 2morrow So that I can keep track of my portions

It depends some people say that they dnt get restriction until 2nd or 3rd fill. I had my 1st fill dec 21st n felt full a couple of days then bk to where I was b4 the fill.

oh ok - I wish u well

wow ur doing great what type of exercises r u doing?

Can u tell me whats the difference between the lap band n the realize band?

y is this fill done the old way?

exactly I agree with u. I had 2 try n see what solid foods n meats I could eat b 4 the doc gave me the okay. Everyone is different n u have 2 listen 2 ur body. there is an exception 4 ever rule. Doctors r here 2 help but they dnt know everything. what may work 4me might nt wrk 4 u. just be careful

R there any chicago bandsters who would like 2 start a workout session so we can drop these pounds? If so please let me know asap! I need some Motivation ...
