I liked p90x but didnt have the time for the dvds each day. Insanity was a better fit for me no eqipment needed shorter work out time in the beginning.

Happy New year!! Hope everyone is doing well. Today im 2 weeks post-op removed my steri strips, my large incision was not as healed as the others and really red. Scared me a little. My fh got me all bandaged back-up. Scale victory though down 15 since being banded.

I 2nd costco premier shakes chocolate. muscle milk light is good as well as the pure protein brand

I love zumba its a great work out and the one I plan to use when I'm cleared to work out. Before kicking it up to Insanity. Hope you have a blast

I totally relate today my girls and I skipped going to the park due to rain. So we stayed in to bake. All the great smells it was so hard not to sample as everyone ate and ate so I opted for my sugar free jello pudding. hang in there my motivator is the scale. It keeps going down and down. I know they say not to be a slave to the scale, but I think in the beginning its important to see progress. Im here if anyone needs me for support. Only 4 very close people to me know about my band. Its nice to come here and share our journeys.

I was banded a week ago 12/20. Doing pretty great down 10 lbs since surgery. Pain & gas minimal. So excited to get cleared to exercise and start my fills

I wanted to start a Az thread. Glad I found this one Im in the west valley but work in Tempe

My post op instructions say to wait 2 weeks if they don't fall off to take them off

Complete a round of insanity and be able to hike up and down the mountain at the Climb to Conquer Cancer in Feb

Thick socks or booties the OR and recovery areas are freezing. Sugarfree drink mixes and broth. A side table or nightstand next to your rest area to house all your goodies; water, chapstick,meds etc getting up and down at first is a lot of work

Very normal. Im not hungry just the want. Want pizza and all the goodies here at work. Cooking for the family is hard. Its funny you dont realize how much you used to taste test while cooking, lick your spoon or finger. Its been tought im only 4 days post op and down 8 lbs since getting banded. My scale has been great motivation.

The gas really surprised me too. I was banded the 21st also.

My dr said at 9 days you can move up to mushies or puree food. Ei creamy soups blended, cottage cheese, mash potatoes hummus etc. Along with lots of fluids and high protein it should curb the appetite. Go to lapband.com there's recipes at every stage to give you a variety. Let your body heal.

I take vitafusion chewable calcium and Alive adult chewables. Both taste great.

Annie after this first 48 my doctor said low fat greek yogurt which is not as thick less fat

Im just under 5'5. Im going to shoot for 140 as that is in a healthy bmi range. Id love to be a size 6. But we will see has lbs start coming off I was just banded yesterday

Go to lapband.com the have recipes for every stage

I was just banded today and I have only chosen to tell 4 people non of them coworkers. I agree business and personal should be separate. I am I guess what some people would say at the lower end of needing WSL. Even at my group preop meeting other patients looked at me like why are you here. 2 years ago I lost a lot of weight on the hcg diey which slowly crept back on. All I ever hear is why dont you do diet again you looked so good even from my own mother who is not a skinny mini. Congrats and an applause to you for taking control of your heath and lifestyle to make it better. Don't give a hoot about anyone else cause at the end of the day ultimately you take care of you.

I made it to the other side!!!! Surgery was a breeze.

2 and a half hours till surgery ... eeeekkkk
