spw83 reacted to 2muchfun in Lapband diet
We've had this ongoing discussion with one of our most recent success stories. Enjoythetime has had a lot of success. Check out her photo gallery and her take on foods she ate while losing over 140 lbs in less than a year.

I don't have a sample menu, but on my blog I have some posts about high Protein foods and some recipes that you might like. Here's the link: http://blissfullybanded.wordpress.com/recipes/
Another great blog to check out is run by a woman named Shelly. She had RNY done instead of a LapBand, but the diet is pretty similar and adaptable. She has a whole category of posts she calls "A Day in my Pouch" where she details what she eats as well as a bunch of recipe pages! Here's the link to her blog: http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/

spw83 got a reaction from Aline728 in Tummy tuck or Panni?
Thank you!! I am definitely going to check with my insurance company! Sometimes my "apron" gets in the way of exercise. I feel like a fraud too and I'm so ashamed of my big flabby skin on my stomach. It's the only thing left as a reminder of when I weighed 270 pounds. I'm scared of surgery but I really want to get it done next year. I also get ingrown hairs on my lower stomach that are pretty painful and leave nasty scars and have also caused my skin to darken. How long did it take you to recover? Did you go down a few dress sizes? Were you able to return to work after a few weeks? I've had a few csections so I just wondered if it was comparable to that. Thank you!

I am wanting to get a full Tummy Tuck next year, but I'm hearing more about the Panni procedure,and that insurance may pay for it. What is the difference? Does the Panni flatten your stomach or just remove excess skin? I feel like I'm wearing a fat skin suit Because my skin is loose and hangs down, especially my stomach. I want a mommy makeover but if I have to self pay I'm going to do a TT first & breast implants later on. Any suggestions or advice?

I have been eating foods that aren't as spicy and so far it has gotten better. I have an appointment in March for a barium test

spw83 got a reaction from vctlong in Heartburn/acid reflux with band?
I have had lapband since 2006 & never had any issues with heartburn or acid reflux until recently. I just had a baby in August and I had a .5 cc fill in October. This is awful heartburn and it burns all the way up my throat and down in my chest. I wake up every night feeling like I am choked and it is from that acid reflux. I haven't called my surgeon yet.. But is this normal? What could it be? Could my band be messed up?

That is amazing! I can't wait to try it & I'm glad you can go at your own pace, since I am not in great shape. I am looking forward to the challenge and I am trying to convince my husband into going with me, even though he is in great shape & works out daily. I think it will challenge him too.

I actually do have one more question though.. Is Crossfit comparable to insanity or p90x as in intensity & results? How quickly do you have visible results? I know it's different for men than woman but I am just really curious. Thank you
