lool... u think im super woman.. lol my legs are super sore today!!!.. so only took a mnice long walk around the park ith my doggie.. but doing super good with food... eating protien protien and more protien.. no room for junk food

really i would rather avoid any weight loss supplements for now... Just thte basics portion control, good food choices and excercise.. off to a good start today went to the gym and worked out with a trainer.. my mom is payin for 8 sessions.. so it will work out well.. now im headed off to go ride my bike around the nieghborhood and then talking my dog for a walk/jog with one of my best friends.. i might as well put all my free time into excercising.. ive had 4 glasses of Water today already, so half of what i need.. so overall.. im doing ok thankx gwen

Hey Marchies!!1Its been a long time.. To tell u the truth iv been avoiding coming on here because ive been to emberressed with myself.. Ive gained 35lbs.. and am hirrified... ive been very depressed and unmotivated.. ibut i recently got a fill and signed up for the gym and a personal trainer and my loving and supportive bofriend said he is going to been getting on top of his health too.. he has started doing some running and promised to help me avoid eating the crap that i have been...i have a little motivation right now .. in 2 months im going camping with him and his family.. and i need to look good i a bathing suit in front of him.. and we are talking about movng in together and starting a life together .. which may mean wedding bells... there is no way i wanna be a plus size bride...so lots of things to motivate...i also got laidoff last month so things have been hard...hope everyone is doing well.. best of luckJeni

i came on to check on my marchies.. and wow has it turned into ghost town on here!!!! im not doing good .. ive gained weight but i join a couch to 5k race at school so i have 16wks to get in shape .. wish me luck how is everyone els doing???

So i went to see tis nutritionist on monday, and he is sending me to take a special class this thurseday.. and he said that it should help me a ton.. we shall see.:thumbup:

hello all.... i've been doing horribly lately.. the only thing i ave been doing right is going to the gym 2 times a week and working out with my pt... but my eating is horrible!!! im in such a slump lately!!! im going to see a nutritionist (on who works with band patients) on monday to hopefully work out a new plan for me... -jENI im so mad at myself :smile2:

Yay Welcome back to the band wagon!!! There have been time i did bleed with fills but not as much, although there was one time my surgeon had a hard time getting my port and the bandaid was soaked.. so if they mess with it a lot it can happen.. It was my first fill, and i was still heavier and it was hard to locate my port so it makes sense... No need to worry

i would mention it to your surgeon, see what he/she says, i think it should be ok..

great barb, im happy to hear the chemo port is goodbye and the band port is being brought back into play.. that is wonderful.. Where is everyone else.. anyway another update im down 2.5lbs.. this is a good thing.. im so excited!!! Yippee!!

im so in... i want to be at goal by christmas.... ive been off track for 9mths.... ouch but ive put myself back on track so i need all the motivation i can get... start 194 current 192.2 goal 150 lbs 2 go 42.2lbs

in 3 days im down 1.5lbs!!! yay!!

*Update* Ok so i decided to give you ladies an update... Ive done really well with food the past 3 days... im only eating when hungrey, and protien first... i usually only manage to get 3oz of protien down. I'm not drinking with meals, and if i do snack in btw meals its either a fruit or veggie.. I went to work out with my trainor on wednesday, and today... 2 days in a row with a personal trainor is a killer... my legs hurt so bad that i cant even bend to sit down on the toilet.. lol but its worth it.. So ladies how are you doing.? -Jeni M.

talk to your band surgeon and see what he says.. band surgeons are usually trained in taking out gallbladders. They even do both procedures in one surgery, so its worh the time to ask.. and i think with your history they may do it.

no pre-op diet... i pigged out the week before and still got my band... my surgeon didnt require one.. you will be a ok... just follow u surgeons instructions and u will be a okay. he knows what he's doing.. but if your still worried talk to ur surgeon and he will go over it agin.. thats what he is there for

i ha my band out 16mths after i had my lapband put in.. i had the band completely unfilled for saftey reasons and i glad i did i started all over, and it wasnt so bad... recovery was easy no major problems.. its an easy surgery.. u will be fine.. if you have any other questions email me at pumbagurl@yahoo.com -jeni m
