pizza anything... including taco bell because its dough doesn't normally go down... at least for me... and esp after a fill! anything with yeast swells when wet and therefore is more likely to get stuck... I know this isn't the case for everyone on this sight but im pretty sure its like this for majority of us on here... I would def go back to square 1 and do the liquids and then try softs again.... im not an expert but its just what I think I would do!

thanks I will def keep this in mind! lol on the date with shaun t... you know what I hate? when he says hes nervous about a workout...it horrifies me!

I def had a fever yesterday and took the day off unfortunately... but I didn't have one 2day and worked out twice as much! thanks guys for all of your opinions!

sprinting is really good cardio... you don't have to start off with 5 min... take your time in progressing toward it... and the biggest loser workout def has some cardio... jumping jacks... jogging in place... jump rope.... just to name a few that I can remember from that game and the game is kinda old so im sure you can buy it used for cheap... also bike riding is really good cardio!

insanity! I also have the wii game system... xbox works 2... but ive done the biggest loser on both of those it def worked in the beginning and then I stopped that and started with the gym... ive also been going to a park lately and sprinting for 5 min and then walking for 5 and then sprinting and then walking until im to tired to do anymore... but everytime I go I try to do one more lap then the last

I know how you feel I have a friend that got her surgery done 3 months after me and reached her goal weight at her 1 year mark... I have had mine for almost 2 years and am still 15 away from my goal and it is not moving granted it came off fast in the beginning but its def frustrating to see other people there and yes when you have the band we know the mistakes we make I know mine is drinking my calories rather then eating but I also know her faults and they can at points be worse then mine but she dropped it so much faster and didn't really work out and still doesn't but her weight doesn't move... I on the other hand have been killing myself working out at this point and I am getting nothing... my weight has not moved either! its def not fun but like you said everyones body and band are different! I guess all we can do is continue to try... watch your calories... workout... talk to your doctors... ask ?s... ask your dr if he/she has any suggestions... I sure would like to know if there is anything else that would help!!!

thanks!

i have a cold and a slight fever should I be attempting to work out still? just wondering because I heard somewhere I think it was from bob on the biggest loser that being sick is your bodys way of telling you to rest... and if I shouldn't work out what does this mean for insanity? do I pick up where I left off or do I restart from the beginning?

after doing it for a week and 3 days my muscles are starting to feel better but thanks for the advice what is Epsom salt and where can I get it?

thanks so much for your response and reading up on it! im still at the beginning stages and only missed one so hopefully my conditioning wont suffer much ill be sure to workout for now on before watching a movie! lol! thanks again!

Ok so I just started insanity on Monday I was going to do my workout last night but I sat down to watch a movie with the kids first and fell asleep...so what do I do? do I start off today with the one I missed and instead of skipping sunday workout then or do I just stick to the schedule and not worry about missing yesterday?

I agree with mis73 my dr said a cup after surgery

my doctor requires his patients to do liquids the first day of your fill and soft foods 2 days after that because of the swelling!

My legs are still sooo sore! Tomorrows workout is called Cardio Recovery... Sounds like it might be less intense then the last few??? Hopefully it is!

I will have to try a hot bath tomorrow I wish I had thought of that tonite before I showered! whew amazing riding a bike 6 miles! ive done spin class and im sure we didn't touch 6 miles and that was painful! Thanks for the tips for the sore muscles!

wow twice is amazing I cant even imagine doing it just this once! Thanks for the support and tips! And although im in pain it feels good knowing that im attempting it!

omg I just got done doing day 2 and I can understand why they call it insanity! my legs hurt soooo bad! any suggestions on how to relieve the ache in muscles?

ive always wanted to try zumba but am to shy to do it alone and everyone that I know is just to shy to do it at all... but yeah the first day of it was tough but id really like to stick to it and get this last 16 lbs off! Im just hoping i can! Spin class is a great way to burn calories as well! and some instructors play good music!

wow that's amazing! congrats!!!

Day 1 of insanity is insane!!!! and that was just the fit test...lol... I am excited and nervous about day 2! you don't realize how much your not in shape until you start insanity!!! I hope I have enough willpower 2 see this through!

whats the difference between insanity and insanity asylum? my friend has the asylum and I was gonna start with her but just out of curiosity im wondering what the difference is?

that's a normal thing in the beginning... they call this part of the surgery lap band hell because you've had the surgery and your expecting it to work right away and it doesn't work like that unfortunately... you will eventually catch up on your fills and it will do wonders... I agree that you can call the surgeon and ask for a fill but it will depend on the surgeon this is your healing time and that's what they may tell you! and as hard as it is and believe me I know how hard it is I def cheated during that time after surgery and im sure there are many of us out there who did but the only thing you can do is try your hardest to stay on track with you diet!

well there are a lot of medical reasons why your insurance could/would cover it if you have insurance and if you do call them and find out... if not I can not help with the price I do know a lot of drs have payment plans though....How soon after the surgery can I go back to work? once again it varies and depends on what kind of work you do but most people within a few days to a week...I know the portions will be small, but I see on some of the boards that people can't eat certain foods - why? I thought you just eat less of what you normally do? you def eat less then normal but a lot of foods like pasta and bread swell when they get wet and since you have a band around your stomach its much smaller then it is now so it wont go down and a lot of meats are dry and you cant chew them enough to have them go down but once again it varies for everyone... there are people who can eat bread and pizza and pasta and have no issues with it at all they just don't eat as much as you would be eating now... with lap band people typically eat about a cup of food maybe a little more but its def a lifestyle change! Lap band was the best decision I ever made and for the most part im extremely happy with it! Do your research though! and most surgeons require you to attend a seminar and in the seminar you will learn more about the band and sleeve! Hope this helps!

Thanks for understanding!

ok so I just spoke to the nurse on the phone I have a appt with my surgeons aprn nxt Monday and the nurse said to just eat mushies and don't drink anything to hot or cold after I eat just have it be room temp?... she said after having the fluid out and then in and then out and back in it can agitate the stomach so stick to mushies for a few days and if things don't get better within the nxt few days call and they will get me in earlier...I did however do that for 4 days after I had the last fill so I would imagine it would've had some time to heal no? I will do what im told and hopefully itll work itself out! I will keep you guys updated!
