Congrats!! Keep up the good work.<IMG class=bbc_emoticon alt= src="http://cdn.lapbandtalk.com/public/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif">

I was going to suggest you braid it and see how it goes, make sure you are washing though. I have locs so it's pretty easy for me. I feel your pain though, prior to getting my hair locked I too sweat like crazy and wore a pony tail most of the time. Good Luck!

Sorry to hear about your experience, I glad you were able to get some relief. I know that some Dr do add saline to some bands but they usually tell you. Mine informed me that I had 1cc in after surgery. I hope everything works out and good luck on your journery. <IMG class=bbc_emoticon alt= src="http://cdn.lapbandtalk.com/public/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif">

Congrats!! Good luck with the baby!!

I'm recently banded as well and my 1st fill was also 4cc to make mine a total of 5cc, my MD informed me that I might not see a big difference in my feelings of hunger, she told me not to feel bad but just to try and stay on track and eat healthy meals. The reason I say this is cause I told her that I didn't feel much of a difference and she told me that I might not. While I'm not hunger 2 hours after I eat , I feel that I'm able to get more than than 1 cup. I say just stick with it and try to drink you Water, that's what I'm doing and good luck!

I was using Vita Band but they were making me really sick. Now I'm using GNC powder Vitamins that I mix in with my Protein drinks. It's like thier mega womam Vitamin but it's powder and I get tons of engery from it.

Chobani also has kid flavors that are pretty good, you have to really stir it. banana and honey and berries. I also add some to my portein shake that way I get the extra Protein.

<P>That's awesome, keep it going!!!<IMG class=bbc_emoticon alt= src="http://cdn.lapbandtalk.com/public/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif"> </P>

I like kettle bells as well, I have did a couple of classes at the gym with them. Very good workout, took my thighs 4 days to get back right. LOL

Congrats!!!!! Keep up the good work!!

I don't think 4 weeks is to soon, my Dr said that 4 weeks was good to go. I was 5 weeks post op last week before I did the class, but I have been doing cardio and walking alot. So give a try I think you will like it. GOOD LUCK!

Ladies, I went to the class and I had a great time, and the best part was that I worked really hard and I was not sore this morning and I slept like a baby. LOL I will be going back again. I actually saw a post about it on LBT and then I googled it in my town and found out that they were doing it here.

I'm super excited, I found a water zumba class in my town and I'm headed there tonight. Thanks for the info, I would have never thought of water Zumba.

Has anyone done Aqua zumba? Going to take a class tonight, just curious about it.

I'm not sure about how long they will last once you mix them. They may separate, I use Lean shake w/25g of protien and I really like them. However I would suggest you buy one of the shakers that they have, they are really easy to make it right when you are ready to have them. Unless you are adding fruit they work really well, I even use greek yogurt in place of milk and it mixes it just fine.
