reflections on a Monday morning
MarieMarie replied to gowalking's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I got a fitbit. It wants me to walk 10,000 steps. Quite amazing to see an actual accounting for your exercise. Sine I was low on steps today, I got my walking sticks out and went for a long walk. -

The biggest pain was gas. Getting up and walking cured most problems. Follow the instructions and all will be well. 5 weeks post op and feeling great here

LapBand-friendly fast food (don't judge me!)
MarieMarie replied to JustWatchMe's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I watch the huge amounts of food others eat and wonder how I could have ate that much. I kept my banding very secret so eating at friends and family is difficult -
This is a life decision for me. There is no 'throw in the towel' on my health/wellness. Sometimes I expect will be easier, sometimes harder. I had no insurance coverage, paid every cent for my life change. I wish everyone Good Luck and read everything and get advice from your doctor when required
