June 2007 Bandsters

Suzzzie ~ Tell me about "Lift like a man look like a goddess". Where did you find it? I'll have to google it because it interests me.

Steph ~ I have absolutely no upper arm strength. I'm hoping the swimming will bring some strength back, but I think I need more. I just can't afford a gym at this time and with 3 kids ~ where would I find the time? I do have some small hand weights and resistance bands. Can you give me ideas too? I'll PM you my email if you want to give ideas and kick my booty too. I have no idea how to even text on my phone.

I had a small scale victory today. I will be changing my stats because I'm now down to 191. I hope it's the start of a downward slide. Oh yeah ~ my band seems to be a bit less restrictive today. I'm definitely having to watch the amounts and chewing better. It was a HUGE change with this fill.

This is a stupid question ~ How in the heck do I get a ticker on here? I've tried several times with no success. HELP! Is there a help link somewhere. Thank goodness I don't teach computer!

Get a ticker, I got mine from tickerfactory.com.

Right click on your ticker (not the code...but that actual pic of the ticker)

Copy

come to lapbandtalk and log in

click Edit Profile - right hand side of screen

edit signature - left side of screen

paste it

save

hope this helps

GraceUtah ~ Thank you very much for the ticker help! That is much easier than what I was trying to do.

Just got back from the pool. Swam 1 1/2 miles in an hour. I love the Water. Just wish I wasn't allergic to the chlorine. I was seriously red and itchy tonight. Got a lot of questions from the older gals that were there. I won't let a little itching stop me though.

bcrazy7 ~ I have gone from one extreme to the next since being banded. I use to have irritable bowel and now I wish I could go. I've increased my Fiber and still get little relief. I'd probably lose a good 3 pounds if I could just go pooh. I just found a new item this - Kelloggs All Bran is making a fiber drink mix - they have pink lemonade and Ice Tea flavor. I really like the lemonade one and it seems to have helped some. There is 10 g of fiber in each packet.

I have found that eating Activia yoguart does the trick....If I don't have that, I eat kashi go lean Cereal, or green leafy veggies.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
