  1. Images added to a gallery album owned by dwiley56 in Before and After Lap Band Photos
    BEFORE THE LAP BAND, a weight loss surgery photo album by dwiley56 on BariatricPal. 4 photos in Before and After Lap Band Photos.
  2. I have no problem with eggs. I often eat them for dinner. It's my go-to meal.
  3. I have 10.5cc in my band right now. while i eat less than i did before the lapband, i have not reached the green zone. My advice: be patient, continue getting your fills at least once month, exercise daily.
  4. I've had this type of pain since the surgery(June 3, 2011). i take a couple acetaminophen and in a an hour or so the pain is gone.
  5. For what its worth, i had my gallbladder taken out 6 months after i had my band put in. everything went well. was back at work a week later.
  6. I just return from seeing my doctor. He removed .25cc from my band. I hope this works. Good news, i drop 15 lbs in the last month.
  7. i will discuss all of this with him tomorrow. I had a fill with fluro last month and everything checked out fine.
  8. I did, 2 weeks ago. He called me in some acid reflux meds. It works sometimes. but for the most part if i just eat Soups and chilli with a little rice, i'm ok.
  9. I am using a baby spoon.
  10. I have 9.5cc in a 14cc band. I have not yet reached the green zone yet. I have a problem with phlegm(a lot coming up) when i eat solid foods, but if i eat soft/wet foods(soups, chilli, smoothies) I have no problems(everything goes down and nothing comes up). should I go ahead and have another fill or wait.
  11. I have 9.5cc in my 14cc band. I am having a huge problem with phlegm. other than that i have good restriction and am happy with it.
  12. SQUATS are better if u are just starting out.
  13. Squats and lunges. Get u some dumbbells or resistance bands to do these exercises. lunges really work your butt!
  14. I went through the same thing until i started mixing the shakes with other things like coffee and crystal light. I also tried drink different kinds of protein powders. I found this sample pack that gave me some great options: http://www.mybariatricpantry.com/SYNTRAX_NECTAR_PROTEIN_POWDER_SAMPLES_p/nectar-sample.htm
  15. Try resistance bands exercises. Google search resistance bands exercises and see what they can offer u. I think they are affordable and the exercises can be done anywhere. I purchase mine from academy sports. Here's there website: http://www.lifelineusa.com/products/resistance-bands.html.
  16. check out this site also http://www.bodylastics.com/
  17. I found that band resistance training works well for me(since i don't have space for a weight bench) http://www.menshealth.com/fitness/portable-resistance-band-fitness-routine http://www.academy.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_10051_107524_-1?Ntt=band+training&Ntk=Allhttp://www.bodylastics.com/
  18. I went through the same thing 2 weeks ago. I was fine 4 days after the virus went away.
  19. I have been off and on Phentermine since 1998. I have had great success with it but the weight always returned once i stopped taking it. I was banded june 3,2011. I have also consider going back on but am worried about mixing the 2 (band and Phentermine).

  22. I had my gall bladder removed on January 23, 2012. The my lap band doc did the surgery. Nothing was done to my band(no unfill).
  23. I had my gallbladder removed Jan. 23, 2012(I was banded June 3, 2011) I have all kinds of pain in my side and in my chest. I feel ok now, just taking it slow.
