Mis-it happens sometimes at home but overwhelmingly out to eat

Mis-it happens sometimes at home but overwhelmingly out to eat

Hi all, I broke my foot 2 weeks ago. I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas of where I could go on the internet for exercises for 5lb. weights, or does anyone have any suggestions of what exercises I could do with a broken foot.. I asked about swimming and they said no..so I guess it's just upper body I can do right now.. Thanks for your help!

Thanks mis73 for the we'll wishes! IM going stir crazy in my house I thought I could do some upper body exercise, right?

Thank you I'll check it out! :-)

That's really strange I take celebrex my doc knows IM a lap band patient...it's been ok though hmmmmm what is it that nsaids that we are supposed to avoid? Thanks

Ok here goes.. I had been in denial about how much I was vomiting(my roommate reminded me)I was throwing up meds and Water at times In the last two weeks I fainted twice. I landed in ER and was diagnosed with vasovagal syncope and my pcp said I was extremely dehydrated. After some introspectal thinking, I have come to the realization that I am totally turned off by food unless it is sweet and junky. I usually do Greek yogurts with babybel and granola for lunch and dinner and a Protein shake for Breakfast I am getting really tired of what I eat.. Any suggestions for a low maintenance preferably no cooking meal plan? I do see a therapist and IM working with her. I just find yogurts so vile right now and will put anything else in my mouth Went to surgeon today for unfill. Injured my knee and foot unable to exercise :-( Thanks for letting me put this out there... -Mary

Hey everyone, I have heard that we,should not drink our calories... Is it really that bad to drink iced coffee with milk and Splenda? I hate to sound ignorant but I am not adding alot of crap to it but I want to be doing the best lapband I can be Thanks Mary

Hey Bandsters-I am attending a wedding on Saturday... I was wondering if anyone had any wise words on how to get through it gracefully and successfully..I want to have a game plan thanks

IM struggling I feel really unmotivated and I don't know how to help myself I haven't seen my surgeon in 2mo and I go back in 2 weeks. I don't know how to get back on track I feel depressed I am seeing a new therapist tomorrow. I feel like I made a huge mistake having the surgery. I received my lapband in sept 2010 and have only lost 55 lbs. My therapist says I still eat for comfort. I really have good intentions I just have huge issues with consistency and motivation! If anyone can help with these two things I'd greatly appreciate it thanks

I am unfortunately in a situation where I keep getting constipated... Has this happened to anyone? This isn't your run of the mill constipation I had to buy an enema tonight. I saw a nutritionist a couple of weeks ago and she said I wasn't getting enough carbs for things to pass ok I thought I had rectified that Doesn't how you eliminate affect your weight loss? I am seeing my bariatric dr tomorrow.. Anyone have advice on how to get things moving in a lapband friendly way? Thanks, Mary
