Thank you for this post as I am the same. I've got some great ideas by reading this thread. I'm going to try saving some calories for a snack. Usually I have a snack between my lunch n dinner so that I'm not hungry or to get extra calories in.but I am going to try to only have my snack when I'm hungry. Thanks again for posting this!

I love my zumba classes and do them about 4 times a week at the YMCA. They also have zumba toning which I do about once a week if I can make it. In the summer time I like to play tennis, volleyball, softball, or going swimming with my kids n ALL of these are great for burning calories n having fun!

Okee

So I do lots of zumba n it's lots of jumping, running in place, dancing n I tried insanity once n was too intense for me. My son and daughter do it all the time n tell me I should also but I don't think I'm fit enough to hang.

brannewmee replied to TattooBeauty's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I love hard boiled eggs but now seem to dry so I eat them with a tablespoon of thousand island or in my salad n I do okay that way. -
I never tried herbal life but you definitely need one with lots of protein. I used pure protein chocolate frothy n loved it.

people are noticing

After 100 pounds, people better have noticed! I think sometimes our weight is a touchy subject and It's hard for people to give us compliments. A great big congratulations to you n we don't brag were just proud of our accomplishments! Keep up the great work! -
I was told to do no to low sugar n carbs n I had to drink 80 to 100 grams of protein a day. I used chocolate frosty pure protein it had 2 grams of sugar n 25 grams of protein n was very tasty. U should start tasting them now to prepare you for surgery so u know which one tastes the best for you.

im getting banded on Monday Feb 25, 2013
brannewmee replied to vivian0914's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Well the worst for me was the nausea n not wanting to eat. See if your doc can prescribe you pain n nausea meds before you go home from the hospital. -
Wow that's great n very exiting. My scale hadn't moved in 3 weeks n finally came down when I started tracking n excersizing more. Great job!

Oh n by the way I go back to work tomorrow.

So I've been off of work for about a month now n was banded on January 2nd. I'm embarrassed because before I left lots of peeps New about my surgery. My closer friends kept telling to make sure I come see them (I took 6 weeks off) cause they thought I would drop about 1000000 lbs (lots of weight) before I came back. I told them I would come by but I don't want to cause since I left I only dropped 8 lbs. I go back in two weeks n I want to really loose some more before I go back. I have bumped up my work out schedule to twice a day this week n will do the same next week also. I am also planning to eat 1000 calories a day. My daughter did the math n said "if " I do this everyday then I should loose 4 lbs a week. I did two zumba classes yesterday n Two today also. One zumba class burned me (at my weight, height, n intensity, according to YMCA's) 780 calories for 1 hour. I love the Zumba classes but this may b a little too much.... I'll check in everyday n let y'all know how I do. My weigh in day is on Sunday's n I'm at 219 right now.

So...ya I guess my plan was way too much for me. I still did a great job n am very proud of what I accomplished. I tracked everything I ate n didn't always stay within my calories. I actually upped them to 1200 because I could not do 1000. I worked out almost every day and originally wanted to do 2 hours a day but actually did anywhere from 1-2 hrs a day. I lost 2 lbs ( one, a week) so hey that's 2 lbs of butter visually. I actually believe I lost inches cause my blouses feel looser. So now my plan for eating and work is to be prepared with breakfast, lunch, n snack. I started to freeze 1cup servings of food to take for my lunch. I work in a grocery store n could literally buy anything which could b good n bad at the same time.

lunch and dinner meal ideas for work ??
brannewmee replied to angieband's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I go back to work tomorrow, after being off for six weeks. I made a pot of chicken n veggie soup n I'm freezing 1 cup portions to take to work. What a great idea I got from this forum. Thanks for the help! -
Both these answers were helpful. Thanks.
-
I didn't realize but I hadn't had any soup since I started eating regular food again. Since we are not to drink while we eat, are we not to drink the broth from our soups? For example when I'm eating a meatball soup, or a chicken soup?
-
I suggest you go with what you need n lucky you can tolerate all of them and like all of them. For me I wasn't getting enough calories n needed less protein. So depending on where I was during the day with my nutrients, is how I used to choose. I think I did 1 soy, 1 ff milk n one store bought which had more protein than the others. But I really like the vanilla soy with my chocolate shake taste yummy. As to weight loss I say as long as you count, it if you track, then whatever you prefer.
