Remember every bite you put in your mouth needs to be healthy!!! I am a nurse and have seen folks with weight loss surgery that are totally unhealthy and look it...I keep telling myself- wouldn't it be terrible to be thin and look awful?? good luck

My name is Karen and I had my lap band on Aug 13th have lost 35 lbs so far...I have some questions, hoping someone can give me some insight into. 1. I have had 3 fills so far- total of 2 cc in band at present. this is the first time I can not tolerate different foods. I am ok with soft and liqs. however meat solids- even chicken feels extremely heavy and my chest full even after 2 bites. if this normal? 2. I have started water aerobics, I do have a large lower abdominal roll and the exercises cause alot of bouncing...this caused severe soreness about 4 inches below the port...guess when the fat roll is gone the pain would be less...has anyone found a better exercise form? I have some physicial limitations- diabetic type I, fibromyagalia, previous broken foot and ankle- makes walking painful at times- was hoping water exercise would be the key... I look forward to reading your stories and things you have learned along the way
