Fatima1988

I do have a doctor here in NJ to speak to but I have not made the effort to call. I was given a guide and a DVD by the doctor in Jordan. I just had some questions only because I'm wondering what's going on. I appreciate everyone's responses. I was feeling really overwhelmed - I'm more at ease right now.

Hello all. My name is Fatima and I live in NJ. Last month on July 19th I got the lap band done by a doctor in Jordan. Prior to surgery I was 235 lbs. I am now down to 220 lbs. I have a few questions: I came home to NJ last Monday and since then I have not lost any weight. Is that alright? Also, I'm wondering what exercises are most effective. When I wake up I don't feel like eating at all. When I do eat my Breakfast (and I really don't even eat much) I feel full after a few bites. Is that normal? I've also been watching what I eat, however this week I started crunching on some bad chips. It's a snack size bag and prior to my surgery I used to eat the big bags without feeling guilty. Is there an alternative to chips? What crunchy foods are tasty and yummy to snack on? I still feel some pain from time to time on the port site. Is that alright? I'm also unsure of when I need to schedule an appointment for a fill. I know I have so many questions and I hope someone can answer at least one. :-P Thanks so much!!!
