How does one become a disciplined eater

[bandorita 0]

dcolston1- I was banded on Dec. 6th, and my port site pain started to go away just a few days ago. I guess it was about 15 days. So, maybe that will be your present for Christmas....

Is that pounds lost including your pre-op diet? Or pounds lost since just the surgery?

Hi, I was banded by Dr. Marsden on 12-10-2007, my first fill is scheduled for 1-14-2008. I am doing O.K., I've lost about 12 pounds, however, I think I should be losing more. Do you have any suggestions on exercise? I'm still having some pain at the port site.

Merry Christmas and Happy eating!

You've lost 12 pounds in two weeks! Celebrate instead of beating yourself up for it not being more. You're doing great.

We were probably all FAST GAINERS, so we expect to be fast losers, but we know it doesn't usually work that way.

If you feel you can exercise, go for it. Just don't over do it, if you weren't exercising before surgery, start slowly. I think Walking is good and avoiding lifting weights until you're healed.

A 30 minute brisk walk daily is perfect! Your port is the first thing to hurt and the last thing to heal. It's going to be sore regardless if you walk or not. Not fair, but true.
