ahh anybody?

to lose 23 pounds by september 8th or by september 18th, eat 3 meals a day (i start mushies tomorrow), 9, 12, and 5 and have my water and gatorade in between and my protein twice a day. what are some good exercises besides walking? exercises that you did at 2 weeks post op? theres exercises in seventeen mag that i would like to do but im not sure i can cause you need to use your abs, what did you do? how about DDR or Wii Fit? ahhh!!

lol the wii is funny, I hope I get wii active it looks better than wii fit and I heard it's better

i like both, i want the wii active but probably wont be getting it, maybe christmas :drool: theyre both fun,

I'm gonna play some DDR today and of course without jump mode and I'm gonna see what my wii fit scale says lol anybody else play these games?

I couldn't get anything down besides water and Gatorade g2 first week cause of nausea now I can (: it's all good I didn't start mushies yet cause it's 9am so I grabbed a yogurt I want to ask first now (:

My clear liquids was 7 days my full liquid stage is 7 days pureed is 2 weeks and I too can't wait til mushy stage

I was told I can go swimming and start exercising now but I'm not gonna swimming just yet or exercise I'm just going to go for a walk twice a day

every surgeon is different I asked about the rides invade we went to the fair but I'm just going to use the money to go shopping

when i saw my surgeon one of the days i was nauseated i asked him if i could start full liquids and he said i could have cottage cheese and yogurt then (that was last friday) but i didnt feel like having cottage cheese but i can call him bright and early tomorrow when i wake up to make sure before i do anything, im pretty sure he'll say i can

thanks (: i didnt have a problem either, but tomorrow i just want to have a scrabbled egg for breakfast, sweet potato (how many cals are in the sweet potatoes for 1/4 cup and 1/2 cup? how much protein)for lunch, and the pretend lazagna recipie i found on here for dinner and a yogurt for snack hopefully i get enough protein, ill put in two protein shakes in just take it slow right? (:

would it be ok you think? did anyone do it a day early? i had something mushy that my brother made, had to water it down cause it was too thick but after that went down ok and i had half a cup didnt even finish half a cup i think 1/4 or whatever cup after that will be enough, i still feel full which is good and i feel fine, so do you think a day early would hurt? not literally but its just a day before and im more satisfied when i ate that, what do you think? i dont want to have to call my surgeon again! ugh i need to start counting my cals again oh and the greek yogurt is actually good, i didnt think it would be haha

he said just be carefull so ill wait til week 4 but itll be cold by then maybe, but tomorrow ill just put my feet in it after i go for a walk

my surgeron said it was ok so im going to go swimming tomorrow, i wondering if anybody else went swimming at 1 and 1/2 weeks post op? and my surgeron said yes to all my questions which were 1. Is it okay to go to vermont and to their fair(rides) 2. is it okay to have tylenol pills for headaches 3. can i start exercising? 4. can i go swimming he said yes to all those so yay but just tell me if any of you went swimming this early thanks (:!

nice (: for a picnic um how about some mashed veggies or fruit, diet snapple, and some ricotta cheese? i have no idea but you can make a thread in the nutrition section (: cant wait til i start mushies

thanks i want to try the pretend lazagna and sweet potatoes my first day i cant wait to start exercising im going for a walk later i never really got instructions on when to start exercising, i cant wait to start losing again, i hope i can get to my mini goal which is 185 by september 8th or the middle of september i know thats too much too lose but its only 23 more pounds to lose anywho i just cant wait to reach my final goal, i cant even picture myself smaller since i was never small hmm but im excited! and my mom is no longer a canidate for surgery, cause she is under the required BMI now but shes going to help me still and do some of the things i do

thanks i will check it out (:

how long after being banded can i run? 6 weeks?

i never got told when to do exercising just walking and i want to exercise, i want to play my DDR without the jump mode and play wii fit, and i really want an eliptical but i cant afford to go to the gym and i really want to. i saw my surgeron twice after surgery due to being nauseated but better now and i see him again on the 19th he or his office person is supposed call me today so i can ask him about a few things and exercising is one of them, for some reason my scale is saying im gaining weight and it dissapoints me ): but hopefully when i get off my time of the month itll go down again, i want to go swimming, how long does it take for the incissions to heal? i have 5, i guess ill ask about that too (: really want to go swimming before it starts getting cold! what would you say would be safe enough to do at one and a half weeks post op? like excersing wise? thanks! <3

sounds good, most people do the eliptical and i wish i can afford a gym membership but school is almost here and i need a lot of money for school since its my last year, the eliptical is fun tho my school has one but i wont beable to stay after to use it maybe when theres no school at the place im going for cosmetology. how much is it at the gym you go to? i wish we still had curves. i need to go for a walk today and it better not rain, i dont know what exercises im allowed to do right now cause my surgeron was busy yesturday and i didnt get to see him but hes supposed to call today so i can ask, im only a week and a half out i dont get my first til next month and to be honest im kinda scared lol im going to do light lifting with 2 pound weights so my arms dont get flabby and when i can lift heavier ill slowly increase it, awesome to you though (:

i got a pizza crust-less pizza recipie off of here, but sounds good, ill try that (:

did she do it on purpose?, if it was pureed itll probably taste the same just mushed lol dont sound as good though haha, i cant wait till im off of full liquids, 2 more days and i will, i hope itll help me lose weight, and i hope it doesnt rain til i go for a walk. my goal is to eat only 1/2 cup or whatever it says on my sheet and only 3 meals a day and one snack at night which is yogurt, hope itll help with losing weight. i had to mix ice cream and cake together on my 18th birthday cause i just got my tongue pierced that day, couldnt eat much of it cause it got to a point where it got too messy lol but thats the only time ill be having cake unless my brother has a cake at his bday which is a month after mine! but ill only mix a little bit of it with ice cream, ill have 1/4 cup or a cup bigger and ill call it a day lol yeah i cant wait til i get to my goal, i cant picture myself smaller, cause i never been small hmm

I wish I could start it earlier and I hope I can lose more weight by the end of the month :/

oh haha, i fill some restriction but not enough, im actually scared to get my first fill but i heared its nothing bad, i watched videos on youtube and those needles are long!i gotta ask when i can start exercising i started walking on sunday but i didnt do it today cause it poured on my way home from my follow up which didnt happen cause he was on duty, but im going tomorrow, how long did it take your incissions to heal? i wish mine were healed already but they wont by the end of summer. yet i cant wait i hope i get to my mini goal by the end of aug-the middle of september im gonna miss pizza could puree it by any chance? lol

did your band have fill in it when you got banded? Mine did but thanks chewing is the main idea do still have to chew if it's pureed already? Sorry silly question
