Posture problems?



Recommended Posts

Is anyone having posture problems since their lapband? I have lost 50lbs in four months and my breasts have not decreased at all and now they are starting to cause severe back aches and the doctor said it might be from my breasts being to big? Am I the only weird case out there?

Well no breasts for me, but, my chiro said this would happen. All these years our body adjusted to carrying weight, now our bodies have to re-adjust to less weight. He warned me before the surgery I would have some dicomfort.

I am now 100 lbs down - and I noticed my posture issue at around 45 lbs or so down....it got worse, but I found that wearing my Body Magic really helps as it corrects my posture and supports my back. (all the while reshaping my figure) It has definately helped me a lot....even when I am not wearing it I naturally have better posture now.

What is a "Body Magic"??

It's a fabulous garment that has literally changed my life...sounds so cheesy and I definately wouldn't have believed it until I tried it. I had lost about 75 lbs when I heard about them and I started researching them online - they are made by Ardyss International...as I am in kansas there aren't any distributors here to buy from. (well there weren't then anyway!) The garment literally reshapes your body while correcting your posture and supporting your back...so it is good for skinny folks with back troubles, too. LOL

They way they explain it is that fat is like Jello in a mold - so by wearing this at least 4 hrs a day 5 days a week your body will begin to mold to the shape....and I have found the compression on my torso helps to support my back and posture while sitting at a desk all day, as well as makes me not hungry. My hubby wears the mens tank and said when he has it on he isn't hungry - so the compression definately has something to do with that even for folks without a lapband. Anyhow -- I started wearing mine in march - and since then I am down 25 lbs and am in my 6th smaller sized body magic! (that's ten inches!) I had pretty much plateaued at the time I started wearing it - so I give it props for helping me get through the stagnant time....as well as shaping me so I feel better in clothes! I still weigh a bit more than when I got married, but am in a smaller sized clothes b/c of the shaping it has done. I love it.

My website is www.ardysslife.com/figuresforfamilies and you can check out the garment there....the prices on there are retail, though, so if you are interested please PM me and I can order for you at the wholesale price, stright to your door. (for example the body magic is $84 plus taxes, shipping and handling) I know it sounds like a sales pitch...which isn't really me at all, I just totally believe in thsi product as it has helped me and a lot of my friends SO much. I became a distributor so my friends, family and i could get the products at a cheaper price....and I am happy to help others do so as well! just give me a holler!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
