Can't eat lamb. Good for those of you who can!

My surgeon said three meals and 1-2 snacks daily as long I was losing weight.

Should be fine. Depending on your starting weight the lbs fly off at first.

my journey has come to an end :(

So sorry to hear about your slip. I hope your improved eating habits will win out and you will be successful keeping weight off without the band. Best wishes! Watch the portion sizes and bite sizes, that will keep you eating a the right pace! -
Ask for liquids or chewable versions. Better safe than sorry or stuck! I take mine one at a time. If the calcium one is big, look for Calcium citrate minis.... they are much smaller and easier to swallow!

I ain't fooling around.....April 1st is my surgery date!!
CHEZNOEL replied to Lori Jo's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Great news to have a date. You will be home by my birthday on the second! Best wishes! -
I get them occasionally. You can change your settings so that only friends can see your pics then go into the manage friends and delete the offenders. That finally stopped mine. Good luck!

Yep... keep the liquid intake, non protein based to 64 ounces or more, and use a facial moisturizer. Dehydration can cause the skin to look sallow.

Often there is scar tissue under incisions... especially when the re-open one. I would find some vitamin e and try massaging it once or twice daily. If it is still bothering you ask you surgeon for advice.

I think they are fine as a fill in. Definitely better than a lot of things I can think of!
-
Congratulations on your surgery. I hope you heal quickly with minimal complications. Stick to your post op diet and you will soon be posted weight loss!

Did anyone have to pay additional fee?
CHEZNOEL replied to rdm's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Insurance will cover surgery, but not always the surgeon's fee? Call and ask the insurance people at your practice what gives. -
Great idea.... thanks for sharing!

Is something wrong ?
CHEZNOEL replied to Aprilsnewlife's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am wondering if your tubing has disconnected from the port? Definitely call the doctor. -
Kitchenette at work is full of yummy foods and desserts
CHEZNOEL replied to Mandymoo13's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Yep.. definitely stay out of the kitchenette! GOOD MOVE! -
Port should not move unless it comes loose. If it seems to move around as you press beside it, call your doctor!
-
You are rocking it girl. Let them talk! Keep up the good work you fabulous lady!
-
Great job! Glad you are getting it!

i ate really food and regret every bite!!!
CHEZNOEL replied to wannabefitagain's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Stick to your allocated foods. Don't be a hero... just say no to the lasagna. It sure beats the alternative! Good luck going forward. Eating out is a whole new life skill. You will get there. Experience is a great teacher. -
Welcome aboard. Post often, we usually do not bite! LOL! Best wishes for your journey to a healthier you!
-
You can do it my friend. I am struggling with the same issues. I think I have volume creep... not watching serving sizes closely enough. But enough about me. You are doing great!
-
Congrats on your approval... keep the focus and you will do fine!

All of your incisions must be fully closed before swimming in any pool.
