Band has been slipped for 10 mths now...getting frustrated!
2012 replied to marfar7's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
How about getting a second opinion, can you try to find someone closer, especially with that long of a drive? I would of have never stuck to it that long with that kind of trip each time, so kudos to you. -
I hope all goes well!

Pineapple juice helps me

I'm sorry to hear that, but at least you still have an option. What kind of pain did you experience?

Quest bars are awesome! And don't forget about sugar free pudding, I just made some Pistachio tonight. And I love, love, love almonds and blue diamond has all kinds of flavors like chocolate mint, coconut, butter toffee (these are a little too rich for me, but they were good).

Man, I was really hoping this was a recipe or something so I could eat them (haha, I can dream can't I?) and Samoas are my favorite! I didn't buy any, I would definitely eat the whole box easily, there just too good.

Thank you for the tracker Lisa! -
Anyone suck on Hard SF candy??
2012 replied to Smallwcw's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
When I left after surgery, I was given sugar free crystal light candy (about 3 pieces), so I would think so. I suppose they realized I would have a sore throat and this helped. I sucked on them on the ride home. -
The atkins shakes are pretty good and easy to find, the Mocha and Chocolate caramel were pretty good and you can usually find coupons. But I like Isopure the best because it's quality protein and drink it daily, but I only use 1 scoop a day to make it more cost effective.

Yay, great job!!

How many fills till u got in the green?
2012 replied to Blondie638's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I've had 5, but honestly I get in the green, lose more weight and need another fill, so obviously the fat around my stomach is being lost too -
I found out after my surgery from my NUT that they forgot to give me my eating manual on what to do, it would have been nice to have before my surgery, but I had decent instructions on how to prepare (eat) for surgery, but not much for after. See if your office has a manual that they may have forgotten to give you? My NUT emailed it to me.

Thanks for the Max Effect suggestion, I tried some liquid versions and they all tasted like nasty swamp juice (ie Alive) , so I gave up, but it would be nice to shop from Vitamin Shoppe versus Celebrate.

Sorry, forgot to weigh in yesterday, I'm down to 176.8 -
Celebrate cherry flavor are the best tasting ones I have found for the multi-vitamin. You can get a sample for $3.00 on their website, but they give you a $3.00 coupon so essentially it's free if you end up buying the vitamins.

anyone here did/is doing the couch to 5k program?
2012 replied to Lapbandster's topic in Fitness & Exercise
I keep trying, but it hurts my lower back and I'm doing it on a treadmill with good shoes. Does anyone know how to combat this problem? I really want to get into the 5ks, but I'm not getting anywhere fast when my back hurts. -
Good luck and HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

I love my unsweetened vanilla almond milk, it is so good and since I'm mixing it with protein powder, it's okay that it's not high in protein.

101 CHEERS for a special loser!
2012 replied to Banjo257's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Great job CG, I'm really proud of you and glad you are on this forum to share your experiences! -
SageTracey, I know this is an older post, but I thought I would try. I finally pulled my Bodymedia and watch out of the closet and don't have the subscription for the online tracking anymore. I really just want to use it to track my calories burned during my walks each day outside and again on my treadmill at night. Can I just put on the arm band and watch to see those calories burned, or do I need to get the online account again?

Not for me, I have my caffeine every morning and still really don't want breakfast, but I make myself eat it to take my vitamins
-
I sometimes wonder if it's where the body is getting rid of the junk (through our pores/face) as we are losing weight from going to eating crap (speaking for myself here ) to eating healthy.

Protein shake flavorings and recipes?
2012 replied to ireallywannabthin's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I just tried the PB2 chocolate and a chocolate protein shake and that is really good, yummy! Never thought to put the 2 together. -
I don't usually feel the changes from the fill until about a week out, maybe you need to give it some time?

Doctor very supportive of lapband surgery
2012 replied to seeme1954's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
That's really good to hear! My surgeon had the lap band himself and most of his staff has it as well, it's a nice resource since they know what you mean when you are asking questions about what you are experiencing.
