  1. I love watching Triple D, I look at the food and try to think of ways that I can tweak them and make them healthier... Don't get me wrong there are times when I crave a big ol cheeseburger fries and onion rings, but I know first I can't digest it. So, I look for healthier versions....

  3. I am two weeks post op ( banded 10/18) today I felt like I hadn't had food in forever... Is this normal??? I wanted to eat everything in sight... Also, I am tired of eating the same things, chicken, veggies, eggs, etc.... I would be sooo grateful on any ideas to help me. My first fill is 10/28... I feel like I'm in a fuzzy place right now, plus my tummy is still a little swollen.... It could be my hormones, ( TOM, I know tmi) but I feel blah and just more blah.....
  4. Thanks!!!! I'm trying to try new foods. I just don't want to fall in that old trap. I do miss food, I need encouragement to go along with this new life. I was so blessed that I healed so quickly, had no gas pain and was able to get around so quickly. I feel like I'm starting to burn myself out on the same old foods, I would appreciate any help with this.....
  5. I had surgery October 18, I'm in no pain tolerating liquids well!!! I'm in a little discomfort where my port is. My blood pressure is the lowest it's been in years!!! I had no nausea, I'm up walking around!!! I'm soooo glad I had this surgery. My doctor did discover I did have a hiatal hernia, which he removed!!! I can't wait to see my progress in a few months and start to exercise! !! Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk
  6. Thanks guys! I do think I moved very quickly, but I healed so quickly after surgery that I felt as though I was starving. I am going to focus more on protein and keeping myself hydrated...

    Tummy Still Swollen

    Thanks!!!! I have my Wii Fit Biggest Loser and I'm starting to do about 10-15 minutes. I will start walking to get rid of the gas.... I mean I know my tummy was already big but, know it's like someone put a big ballon inside me. I sometimes find it hard to drink Water, especially if I'm not thirsty it's like I'm forcing it and I'm full.... Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

  11. So, today I had I had a small amount of food, baked chicken breast, mashed potatoes, green beans, and some of the chicken got stuck and then it came back up!!! That was the worst feeling ever!!!!! I chewed my food like 15 times and still came back up. I guess I have to get used to my new baby...LOL!!! Tomorrow, I'm starting to work out on my Wii for about 10-15 minutes...So, glad that I am now able to eat solids...I still do miss some food, it didn't help that my mom made fried apple pies and fried chicken...I stayed strong, but I miss some of the things that aren't good for me. Does anyone else feel like this???????

    Keeping It A Secret

    Only a few people knew about my surgery, my parents, my fiancee, and a few of my friends, and two family members. I chose to keep it quiet, because that is the type of person I am. Plus, I wanted to see the looks on people's faces when they see the new me. I knew that I had to do this for health reasons. I'm sure there are going to be people who think I took the easy way out, and others who may turn there nose up at me, but at the end of the day the only opinion that counts is mine and mine only!!!
  14. I'm on the Metformin ER, and I do not have a problem taking my pills, I am ten days post op....
  15. Had my follow up appointment and everything looks great, I'm down 20lbs total. So my doctor said I could start soft foods that have Protein, I had a very small portion of tuna on Friday and was in the bathroom like 3X's (sorry I know tmi) and today I had mashed potatoes and the same thing happend. Help!!! I'm drinking Water and Gatorade so I won't get dehydrated. I was banded 10/18. Any advice on what to do??? I know it's tmi but, it's so like water...???£???¢ Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk
