Bender Ball



Recommended Posts

I have been using the Bender Ball for about 6 weeks now and I LOVE it. I thought that it was going to be another gimmick to get you to buy their product. I have to say it was the best $20 I have spent in a long time! I too was under the impression that I was going to have to have a Tummy Tuck when it was all said and done and now I am beginning to think I may not need it. I love the way it really targets your abs and boy do you feel it! I am working muscles that I totally forgot that I had. I also ordered the Buns and thighs DVD and love that one just as much. I am noticing that everything seems to be firming up nicely. Just thought you all would like to know of a great way to get your abs back and possibly avoid a tummy tuck! Good luck to all of you, and we can do this.:confused:

The Bender Ball is a small ball that fits in the small of your back and assists you in crunches. It seems to put you in the proper position to maximize your results. Here is the link to the website BENDER BALL :: OFFICIAL WEBSITE

I thought we were not supposed to be doing crunches?

Are there other exercises that can be done to tone the abdominals that are safe for us Lapbanders?

I have been wondering this since being banded.

I have wanted to get one of these but I don't want to do anything to cause any problems with my port.

After 6 weeks, I was told I can do crunches as opposed to regular situps. I actually prefer regular situps and get better results, personally.

      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.
