If you have digital cable tgere is a little known jem on there...its an on demand exercise channel witb tobs of at hime videos. Also you tube has some and the exercisetv.com If I were tou I would invest in a few simple/cheaper things. A ketle ball being one and some resistance bands. getting started is the hardest but you csn do it! -
Does your back hurt when you are stuck?
trishfish replied to JJLaw08's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The feeling that your describing is when the vagal nerve had pressure put on it...i feel it when I over eat....it is def not a plesent feeling! It is very normal that being stuck would have the same sensations... -

How Did I Gain??? UGG!!!
trishfish replied to Want To Be Thin's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Actually caffeine is an appetite supressent.that's why diet pills are loaded with it! Caffeine can dehydrate you though...that's why we are recommended not to drink it. As far as the.op....try taking veggies or even almonds next time....or get a small popcorn with no butter. Popcorn is my favorite snack! Also don't weigh yourself every day! It will really start to mess with your head (i know from experience!) -

Post op help needed...
trishfish replied to BlairE's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The liquid diet is to help your stomach heal. When you eat ANYTHING your stomach contacts. The contracting stomach can then lead to your newly sutures band to come apart. The liquids suck byt it is so very important! -
Acanthosis nigricans (darkening of neck or underarms ect.)
trishfish replied to Noturningback15's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Skin Tags are largely due to hormones. You can snip tge smaller ones...that's what a derm would do. The larger ones you can take a thin piece of string and tie it around the base of the skin tag. Snip the excess string so you can't see it. This wil cut the blood supply to the tag and it will die and fall off. -

To fill or unfill?
trishfish replied to peprmentpati's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I def wouldn't remove half of the fill. When I was over filled I had .5 ccs removed and was then again able to eat my solids and veggies. Its amazing what a little bit removed can make a huge difference! -
Going a little crazy...multiple symptoms, don't know who to call
trishfish replied to anewbeckiboo's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I don't crush my bc pills or my thyroid pills. They're small enough to pass through with no problems -

trishfish replied to Msheli19's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

Today I made some yummy dinner and I just had to share it with you Stuffed peppers, mashed sweet potatoes, steamed broccoli and baked apples. I stuffed the pepoers with ground turkey chopped onion, garlic and mushrooms. I used 1 egg and some whole grain rice (1/2 cup for a lb and a half of turkey) and some low carb homemade bread crumbs ( I make a bunch and store fir later use). Mix all together and stuff inside peppers. I then poured low sodium v8 juice over the top and baked at 375 for 2 hours. You could def put in crockpot to chok all day on low. Hope you guys enjoy as much as my family did! Ps....i didn't eat more than my cup and a half of food....and it was hard to walk away! Haha

trishfish replied to MaineJackie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Tooth issues sure make chewing or food difficult!! Been thee done that! Had a root canal day #1 of pre op diet...made the first few days of a liquid diet so easy! My.doc jokingly.said he will recommend this method to all his patients...hahaha -

Yay! I tried on a few VS suits the other day when I was buying a smaller bra. Ive never liked swim suits till now! -
Do you think people with more weight to lose reach resatriction sooner!
trishfish replied to size10again's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Actually I think its t the opposite....i was on the smaller end in terms of weight loss...I've only had three small fills and have (in my opinion) perfect restriction. When you have less fat around your stomach the stomach is more sensitive to the fills. -
Heartburn and tightness all of a sudden!
