    AussieSam got a reaction from MrsSugarbabe in What is in YOUR "SnackBag"?   
    I personally don't think snack bags are good as they might lead you to eat more what I will do instead is boil some eggs and have one when I feel like snacking it's amazing how one egg fills you up.

    AussieSam got a reaction from MrsSugarbabe in How do you manage family gatherings?   
    I admit family gatherings are hard as everyone keeps an eye on you in order to make sure you ate well. What I do nowadays with lots of experience is eat very very slowly, chat with others while eating with long passes and people won't realise how little you ate.

    AussieSam got a reaction from able2cope in Whoops- a craving...   
    These cravings are common later on in your journey you will lose these cravings. What I did was for every snack I succumbed to I had to go up 100 stairs. That turned me off all Snacks.< /p>

    AussieSam got a reaction from band-4-life in Lap Band over gastric bypass   
    As with revision surgeries they are not as effective as the original surgery where they don't give you the same bang for the buck. I wish you well and hope it works out for you.

    I work from home so I set up a small home gym in my garage. It's great on days where you can't go to the gym and if your motivated you can exercise anywhere.

    AussieSam got a reaction from kcmu5411 in May 13th - And I haven't told anybody.....   
    I was like that didn't tell anybody except a few for five years but at the end I realised it's much better to tell people because to me it's like a scale when you know people know about it it keeps you from ever putting the wait back on as you know they will judge you heavily.
    Weight not wait lol

    The reflux is probably because you got such a small stomach now. This usually is very common with band and sleeve patients when they get down to such a low weight.

    I love the elliptical trainer and try to do 2 hours a day on average. I do it about 5 to 6 days a week. Some days I just walk up and down the stairs in my house for half an hour that is a real workout.

    if refused surgery by insurance don't give up if you really want the surgery bad. Even if you can find a way to finance it don't give up as it will change your life forever. I redrew from my mortgage to finance mine as I had no insurance and I have no regrets.
