  1. I had bought some kind of premium package long time ago. I do not pay anything. Again I do not eat their foods but they giver me awesome support. It is a place I can be accountable to,and meet with someone to make weekly goals.
  2. I go to jenny Craig each week to weigh in and set goals but I do not eat their foods. I try to stay away from processed foods.
  3. Try using an online program like my fitness pal sparknpeople there are a ton of free tracking programs. Most banders I know use mynfitnesspal. They even Have a free app for your phone.
  4. I can eat most anything but I make much better choices now. I avoid anything white any rice, pasta or bread because they are not worth wasting my limited calorieson and popcorn because it's a trigger food for me. Mostsvfoods depend on preparation. I have a recipe group with many great members if anyone would Like to join it is on Facebook just friend me at hely lb.
  5. You are still healing. It is normal to stall or gain. My advice don't look at the scale for awhile.
  6. Everyone is different. You have to try some things in order to discover what works for you.
  7. Sometimes I just get soup
  8. Please feel free to join my recipe group on Facebook . It's has great recipes, suggestions and a great group of people including many from here. Everyone is welcome just friend me at Hely lb.
  9. Are you cooking healthier? Maybe cook less? I am lucky to have just me to worry about. I think you should talk to him. I think communication is the biggest part of a relationship. It's mostly in the delivery.
  10. Check out garden of life. I am going to try it. It is on amazon
  11. Check and see if it has sugar alcohol in it. That can act like a laxative. Also some bars have too much fiber. I gave up trying yo find a bar and decided eatting food works much better for me.
  12. If you are blending it can be the air that is whipped into the shake. I would also suggest trying a pre made one.
  13. Images added to a gallery album owned by hely88 in Before and After Lap Band Photos
    hely88, a weight loss surgery photo album by hely88 on BariatricPal. 4 photos in Before and After Lap Band Photos.
  14. You will always hear negatives along with the positives, but if you set out looking for negatives you will always find them. I am 4 years banded and no problems I did not cause myself. A lot of the negatives you read about are mostly likely a good part user error.
  15. Why are you not eating during the day? That is very unhealthy for anyone If you are too tight you need to get some removed. As far as how much you eat you really should have guidelines from your doctor and or nutritionist. lf you do not have them you really should call your doctor. It also is very important to track and measure everything you eat.
  16. Feel free to join my recipe group on Facebook. Just friend me at hely lb. We have a lot of newly banded people and lots of recipes.
  17. Awesome quote to spread around for sure!!! Thanks for sharing!
  18. The only way to know is to call your insurance company and make some appointments with surgery. Unfortunatley everyone is different. I wish you the best of luck no doubt losing weigh will definetly help you have less pain.
  19. Most sorness is the gas. try gas-x chewables and make sure to walk as much as possible.
  20. I only know that my doctor tells me the habit of Grazing is bad no matter what you eat.
