Hello ladies. There are many of us from the Houston area on here. We mostly post in the Lapband support group/local support group section. You click on USA, Texas and then Houston. We were trying to meet before Christmas but it didn't happen. I live in Crosby by the way. Closer to in between both Pasadena and Humble. Slomeli84 congratulations on your weight loss. Keep up the good work. You too Pampi. 65 down is AWESOME!!!

Sorry you got things mixed up and confused, perhaps misinformed before you had your surgery....most people are fat because we eat too much, AND the wrong foods....I know that was my problem... I could eat an entire large pizza all by myself...and wash it down with a few beers...I have the t-shirts to prove it.... But now, thanks to the surgery...I cannot get through a single slice...so I gave it up entirely....and that is the way I like it....I am unable to over eat...no matter how hard I try...my portion sizes are automatically set by the band, not me or what I want to do..... And yes...it has also limited some of the foods I eat...but I have noticed that the foods I no longer eat are foods that were not that good for me in the first place... Such as breads, flour products such as donuts, pastries, pies, etc....rice...pasta, to name just a few....and what is nutritional about pizza??? I no longer eat red meat...much to the delight of all my Dr.'s including my cardiologist. They all have been preaching to me for years that I should cut back on meat...if I cannot quit it entirely, then consume it just one day a week they said.....that was years before I had this surgery, after my first heart attack......all because it was good health advice....so when the band gave me trouble, I quit meat altogether and I don't miss it, and I can tell the health improvement......everyone is happy including me...never felt better. I'm a little surprised you got through the initial evaluation and approved for this surgery...., since over eating was never your problem for being fat....generally that is the first thing talked about....inability to control our food consumption and portion sizes.....therefore failing at traditional diets and everything dieting entails........ When I talk to people about this surgery at support groups and first time orientations, etc., I am sure to mention it is NOT for everyone...not everyone can deal with what they're asking for.....(I see it on this forum everyday) In any event, that is one good thing about the band....you can easily have it removed....it is reversible....allowing us to eat whatever and whenever we want...just like before the surgery. Good Luck to you in the future...hope all works out for you.....

Thank you, same to you

Your so right i used to think the same way but believe me ive had one thing come up after another and it seems like i can never make it to the gym but i promised myself id start today so wish me luck lol

I honestly havent done any excersize i keep saying im gonna start but never do

My name is juanita and im close to Galveston ive been banded for 4 months and ive lost a total of 45 pounds

Southeast houston right before Deer Park, whats your name?

I live in pasadena im glad to find people close to me

No I don't. Hadn't heard that I will give it a try

Hopped out of the shower and wrapped a standard size towel around me and it completely wrapped around me and hide my body it's been years since that has happened cried looking at myself in the mirror !

Mine is Lola....the sexy' date=' confident, smart woman who is always in control, deep inside of me. LOL!![/quote']very cool!!

My bands name is Faith! Faith that I will use this tool and change my life!

I'm freaking out SO BAD. I almost don't want to do it. I hope they can give me something to ease my nerves

calm down I think we all went thru the same thing you'll be fine and congratulations

Glad I just bought one...oh goodness I'm not sure I can drink them lol. I got the watermelon and I put it in Water and it was awful it might be better if I were to just chug half of it and the other half later lol.

Why dont you try the Isopure Protein drinks from GNC their 40grams of Protein and honestly their not that bad they have a lot of diffrent flavors

Hi I am new to the site as well and I just found out on Sept. 5th that I was approved for Surgery and I am officially scheduled for Sept. 27th so excited. I am really excited to go thru this new journey with my family and now you all!!! Wishing everyone much success and blessings!

Congratulations! And good luck

Getting the proper amount of Protein is one of the MOST important thing following wls. Sixty grams minimum per day!! If you don't like the Protein drinks' date=' there are numerous ways to add protein to your meals.[/quote']

Im gonna continue the Isopure drinks from GNC i dont think their wonderful but they are drinkable lol their 40mgs of protein

Were you able to get your Protein in while doing the liquid phase post op diet?

Yes I was drinking Isopure grom GNC its 40gm of Protein but When i was able to start eating I disnt think I needed to continue it I thought the Multivitamin was enough.... I started drinking it again today and Biotin 6000

First you need to make sure you're getting in plenty of Protein. Some people say that Biotin helps.

I havent been taking my Protein Drink i didnt think it was that important but ill start again today thanks for the advice

It's not vitamins' date=' it's Protein. However, it's natural for the body to shed hair during stress and surgery is certainly stressful to the body. Need to keep Protein to a min of 60g/day, more is better. Others take Biotin as well. It doesnt prevent Hair loss but has building Proteins to support your new hair to come in stronger/thicker (good additive since the decreased protein levels would most likely result in thin brittle hair).

Sorry hon, this is a common problem with a not so good solution lol[/quote']

Thanks for the advice ill start taking it today

I was banded 8/16/2013 and today i noticed im loosing a lot of hair, what Vitamins should I take to prevent it?
