At my clinic the women all have 10 CC bands and the men 12 CC bands. Cheers, Kristi

Cardio & strength training are important. I always do 30 mins of cardio & 20mins weights. Then stretching & core work for 10 mins. 5 days a week and the weekend I try and walk 5-8 kms. Cheers, Kristi

Hi beautiful banders, I can't get your posts/updates. I miss you guys! Can someone emal me the correct thread if you don't see my post on the old thread. Thanks E: kristi@peoplebiz.ca Cheers, Kristi

This week I have not got the scale moving and I didn’t get a filland now I find that I am more hungry and can eat up to 1.5-2 cups of food per ameal. I also worked out every day too. I am going away onvacation next week. The good news I am going away with my BFF who is alsobanded. I have my next fill booked for May 18. Have a great weekend all! Cheers, Kristi

Shavona - it is meant to be. I am happy for you! In Canada we are all self pay. Good luck and keep us posted! Cheers, Kristi

I have been scared to try but have not been tempted. After reading no way! When I go to the movie I bring a Protein bar or pudding so I have something to do. Thanks for the info all! Good luck all! Cheers, Kristi

Cheri – you poor thing. I hate all those pain meds. Ihope things get better! Sorry if I missed anyone!<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;"><br style="mso-special-character: line-break;"> Cheers, Kristi

Hi beautiful banders, Long time no chat. I hope everyone is well. I haven’tbeen receiving updates from the group. Anyone else have that challenge? Also Idon’t see an up to date thread so I can’toffer support to you all – big hugs! I was again away this last weekend with my high schoolBFF. We went back to our boarding school “Old Girls weekend”. Now I know why I have been only once in 25years. What a sleeper with a bunch of tea toddlers. I am off to Mexico with my BFF this Monday to visit ourfriend who is retired there. Can’t wait to get away to the heat! I have been still sick with that cold. Now in my chestand I was on antibiotics. No real improvement so I am going back to the dr. Ihaven’t worked out all week. I got a small workout in today. I am down another3 lbs these last 2 wks for a total of 40 lbs. Busy wrapping up business with my clients this week. Havea great week all! Cheers, Kristi

Also try keeping a food diary to track calories, fat & carbs. I like the on-line ones. They are available for your phone & ipad too. I measure all my food, workout cardio/weights. I eat ever 2 hours. I never eat more than 1 cup of food. I measure everything. I eat primarly protein, spinach and zero calorie items.

That is the sign that you have over done it. Try and take it easy as you need to heal. I did the same when I was banded. Cheers, Kristi

My band & port is high just under my bra line. Mine was ache but no problem. I couldn't wear a bra for 6 wks after surgery. My underwire bra can irritate it still. Check with your nurse or doctor. If I can be of any help let me know. Good luck. Cheers, Kristi

I get it some times as my band & port are high. My underwire bra sometimes hits my port. Hate wearing underwire bras now evenmore! Kristi

Oh Yeah tastse like Oh Henry's - same company. Yummy & 15 g protein. I also love the Atkins ones too.

Rope 777 - How did the surgery go? I was really emotional pre-surgery as I was enter my new life and I need to be successful as alot is at stake. Cheers, Kristi

After I posted I could then see the posts from today

The posting string on-line is lost? I weight in daily as I am a scale addict. I have been really sick these last 2 weeks and haven't been able to workout. When I do my workouts with weights I can lose 1-2 lbs/wk. I am at 5 CC's and think I am good. I still get hungry every 2 hours. I eat no more than 1 cup of food and sit around 1400 calories. Down 5 lbs total for the last month with being sick & Easter. My clothes are getting bigger . Good luck all! Cheers, Kristi
