My local newspaper had a great article with low fat eady snacks last week. You can check it out here: http://www.thestarpress.com/article/20110807/DISH/108070317/Snack-time-can-still-healthy

Banded in June, just found out that I'm pregnant
ErinMarie replied to roziecakes's topic in Pregnancy with Weight Loss Surgery
Hey! I just wanted to say congrats!!! One of the big reasons I got the surgery was so I could conceive in the future so I love hearing stories about successful pregnancies with lap band! It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside and helps me stick small goals to reach the BIG one! -
3 weeks post op and only lost 9 lbs!
ErinMarie replied to KimJ384's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
sanction is right! just stick to your rules and wait for your fill! I didn't start really losing weight until I got my first fill and then I plateaued at 20 lbs and it took me a while to get to my 30lb mark (due to stress and lack of exercise). Just stay diligent and DO NOT OVER EAT -
I posted on my blog about this a bit ago but I will share with you as well! My nutritionist has me eating MEALS at 7a, 11a, and 7p with a snack around 3p. This really helps to stretch out my meals and control the hunger (because if you wait until you're starving you will overeat!) She also said at my 2 month checkup that she would be okay if I never had another protein shake or bar ever again! She said she would rather I get my protein with REAL FOOD! I stick with dense meats and crunchy fruits and veggies (mostly pears, white nectarines that aren't very ripe and green beans and carrots because I dont like a lot of veggies). She also said the crunchier the better and the more fiber the better! Good luck!!!

TriCare/TriWest - chance of approval
ErinMarie replied to hittpants11's topic in Insurance & Financing
I have TriCare RS and I was 100+ lbs overweight and had NO comorbidities and I was approved with no problems! I also just updated my blog about all the costs of my surgery with my insurance if you want to get a very rough idea of numbers! (link in my signature) Good luck!! -
TWO blog updates! One includes the cost of my surgery for those of you that are curious! http://wtfovaries.blogspot.com/

In case you missed it...I updated my blog on Tuesday! It's pretty awesome! http://wtfovaries.blogspot.com/

That's awesome!!! Congrats! It will be really rough in the beginning but totally worth it!

I saw that guy too! I wish I was that inventive, lol. Makes me want to go grab one of my books

I was banded May 4 and have lost 20 lbs since my surgery. I have had one fill of 2 ccs. I can say I have been stuck at this 20 lbs for about 2-3 weeks! I, too, get full eating half of a meal (or 3/4) but I am hungry 1-2 hours later. I go for another fill on July 11 and am hoping that helps! I also started working out a gym last week, so hopefully that will do me some good too!

Haha Waterboy! We actually have a team here and I know some girls on it! It MIGHT be something I would consider in the future, but I am SO unsteady on my own feet, let alone on skates! I also hate getting hurt and I bruise more easily than a freakin banana so yeah...we'll see, lol
-
I'm pretty sure its the protein! and possibly with a little help from the vitamins (for example, prenatal vitamins make your hair and nails grow as well and my friend can't swallow pills so instead she takes 2 Flinstones vitamins...just like me!)

My hubby likes bigger girls too and I was afraid at one point that he would be less attracted to me (and he was afraid I would run off after becoming 'hot and skinny') but like these other girls said, he loves me for me regardless of my size...bigger or smaller (I was 100 lbs smaller when he met me) and I know I will still love him just as much no matter what size either of us are. If he loved you enough to marry you, I'm sure it wasn't only because you are a big beautiful lady

I'm pretty sure I've said this before but I funking love your user name! Fight Club is one my fav movies and Chuck Palahniuk is an amazing author!

Thanks for this post! I only have 2cc in my band so far (banded 5-4-11) and am DYING to get my next fill in July! I am stuck at a 20lb loss but have just started a workout program today so I'm hoping that will help!
