I'm curious to see if anyone who has Lap Band does any type of martial arts. If so I have some questions! What's your martial arts? Did you train before you had surgery? How long did you wait until you went back? Did you feel any different? I've been training in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for about a year now but can no longer for another two months because I can not do any adomonal workouts and a lot of the time in BJJ your adomonals are crunched together. So, I started MMA today actually. My doctor said I could go back to working out in three weeks... so I did! Everything went basically well. Just this one point of streching my port area felt weird so I stopped for about five minutes just to make sure everything was alright and it seemed good. I can also tell the difference in my running, just losing several pounds makes running so much easier!! If you have been healed for three months, I would advise you to join a Jiu Jitsu class. In an hour you can roughly burn 900 calories. It's what I like to call an actual "working" work out. Haha. :blushing:

Okay so Tuesday night my boyfriend is taking me to dinner at Texas De Brazil. I've been dying to go there, and finally he's taking me. One problem though. He doesn't know I have the band & I dont know all their food choices besides red meat. Most red meat is hard to get down. It's about $50.00 per person to eat there, but I dont want to go and barely eat. He would be pissed. I was just curious to see if anyone has gone with the band and knows some safe band foods there. :biggrin:
