I knew I was going to hear from my GYN, about my 2nd mam results, I asked God why, I'm so tired of being strong, He said to me, I only give the hard battles to my strongest soldiers, you are stronger than you know..

Question about supplements?!?!?!
#MagicWithinme replied to Kyle K's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Be wary of taking too much vitamins as well as it is possible to have bad side effects of taking too much, as some are not soluble and build up like vitamin A. I speak from experience, I was overdoing, my vitamins, my calcium and eventually even my protein with horrible side effects of returned high blood pressure, cranial headaches and bloating tummy. Once I stopped taking everything, all my vitals pretty much returned to normal. My doctor reminded me, my body is not the same, where I need as much . that I should be able to get the protein I need from most foods now. Good Luck.. -
Went home for lunch, chicken drumstick,a dab of mash potatoes n gravy, a dab of spinach dip and 1/2 cup of low fat cottage cheese... nothing hard about that..and yummy!

"Lap Bands are becoming obsolete"
#MagicWithinme replied to Deb 57's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think sometimes they get tired of those that get the lap band but are not prepared to follow the steps to make sure it works and they are constantly having to work with them more, than someone who is following and loosing. -
Miss the days when you could go to ONE doctor for everything.. now a days you need a calendar to keep track of them!
-
Doesn't fell like it, but cardio dr. said everything looks perfect, EKG/labs, and I lost 5 lbs !!
-
No doctor, it couldn't be the ice cream and the brownies I ate, that made my bp go up, it has to be something else..(invisioning today's dr. appt).
-
I can only blame myself, really.. and as I track the food I've eaten, again, I do see the pattern (yes after all this time) of what I eat affects me physically. Sugar right now is the number 1 problem, because my body has been without it for so long, it is not liking it anymore, no matter what my tastebuds say!

Another note to self: Great you got your BP down, do not celebrate by eating ice cream!..BP went back up.. lesson learned
-
after a week of no meats, no supplements, two hours of zumba today, my bp tonight is 110/64, heartbeat 86 !!!NSV totally!!
-
Went to the zumba's gym 1 year anniversary 2 hours free zumba..wiggle when I walk

Well, I did cry, out of anger, I talked to my insurance person at work and it looks like this was a premlinary report, a claim was never even filed!!! My insurance person called and emailed the insurance co. to find out what the heck!?
-
FUMING!#!@#!, got letter from insurance that they will not covers hubbys hospital stay for 3 days for TIA (mini-stroke) because he got better!!! oh so mad,
-
that a hospital stay was not warranted. His face and arm were numb, had he gone to the dr, the dr. would have sent him to ER anyways... I've called the insurance and the hospital, waiting for calls, and will be taking to my insurance person as well!.. I never cried during any of this. this is what will... ughgh.

what a reminder!, a co-worker was asking me if I didn't feel well and I told him about my meat issue, that I can't eat meat, and he said of course not, Lent started no meat for 40 days!

Protein! How much and Why
#MagicWithinme replied to cheryl2586's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
great minds think alike I just made a post about my problems with protein, thanks for sharing. ! -
I went in blind, basically, thinking it was going to be a piece of cake, man could I have been any wronger. But I've learned when something goes wrong, use it a lesson for next time. And share the lesson, good or bad. You end up with Do and Don't Lists(the cake is on the don't list!). What do I fear, at the beginning, that I would gain weight back of course , that I would still thought of that chubby girl, that I would still be that invisible person in the background trying to be in the shadows. As I've become confident in my body my wardrobe has changed, my make up, my attitude,, my outlook on life is so different. Even as I go through problems now (not being able to digest meat right now) I know that I will get passed it. What I fear now that I will not have enough time in life to do EVERYTHING that I ever wanted to do!, but I do not fear that getting the lap band was the wrong decision for me. Good Luck!

I told my husband , I love you for loving me then, I love you for loving me now..he's been my biggest supporter

went shopping at lunch with hubby, we both put our stuff on the counter and we both walked away, thinking each other was going to pay..I'm like wait a minute you're supposed to pay

I feel like I am doing everything wrong
#MagicWithinme replied to malpal2's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
in the beginning it will be like this, its a new way of life and yes you will be overwhelmed. As long as you are sticking to what your doctor and nutritionist tell you, you'll be ok. No you will not wake up one day and the weight is gone. its a long journey, and one that you have to be sure to follow the directions to. Part of it right now, is also mental, we are so used to eating so much more, we have to retrain our body as well as our mind to accept what is going on. It will feel like nothings happening, weight wise, but better slow than fast and end up regaining it plus some. Even people who have had the lap band for some time still struggle from time to time, and the best thing to do when something happens is of course let dr know, and go back to the basics of soft foods, for a while. Good luck.. stay strong -
Note to self: Quit eating Crap!!!!!!
-
something is interacting with meds, I would stop what you are eating and drinking, and let dr know. I know for me, the sugars in some of the sugarfree drinks mess me up make me hyper. take some benedryl if dr says its ok, it's a learning process/journey. There will be times everything seems against you and then there will be times its smooth sailing. take care and let us know how are you doing..
