Do u eat before or after u workout?

what is zinc where can i get it from my hair is coming out so bad n i dnt wnt 2 have 2 cut it off

as far as the juices that are not sugar free just dlute it with Water half and half. u can have the sugar-free popscycles and sugar-free Jello and diet snapple. I know it seems like a lot but in time u will get the hang of it. dont stess because that will make matters worse. just take one day at a time and ask ur doc or nutristionist or visit here and we all will do the best that we can to assist u.I am still new to the band myself I just had surgery nov 24th 2009 and trust me Ihave a lot of questions myself that need to be answered. I wish u a speedy recovery. be blessed 215lbs at surgery 202 12-28-09 3lbs to onederland

Which type of milk do u think is better for ur body and why skin milk or 2% milk???:biggrin::smile:

thanks so much

Went 2 the doctor 2day n I found out that I wasnt eating right. I also found out the hurting feeling n my chest was restriction n thats when I was suppose 2 stop eating. hopefully now that I know better I will do better n the weight will come off...

I had surgery november 24th 2009

thanks a lot. I see my doc 2morrow. n ur right I was weighing myself everyday. I will start my journal 2morrow So that I can keep track of my portions

It depends some people say that they dnt get restriction until 2nd or 3rd fill. I had my 1st fill dec 21st n felt full a couple of days then bk to where I was b4 the fill.

I had a fill on the 21st n i thought i had restriction for a couple of days. I thought everything was fine. Now i where is the restriction? My weight is like a yoyo up n down back n forth! Why is this happening 2 me? Why is this so complicated? Im watching what i eat then when i eat what im suppose 2 no weight loss but when i bend n try a little something 1-3 lbs come off. :-( now 2day i weigh myself n the weight went up. Im so freaking frustrated with the choices im making n i dnt know what 2 do. Did i make the wrong decision getting this band? Is there anyone out there that can help me? I dnt need any smart ass comments help n encouragement is what i need...

oh ok - I wish u well

wow ur doing great what type of exercises r u doing?

Can u tell me whats the difference between the lap band n the realize band?

y is this fill done the old way?

exactly I agree with u. I had 2 try n see what solid foods n meats I could eat b 4 the doc gave me the okay. Everyone is different n u have 2 listen 2 ur body. there is an exception 4 ever rule. Doctors r here 2 help but they dnt know everything. what may work 4me might nt wrk 4 u. just be careful

R there any chicago bandsters who would like 2 start a workout session so we can drop these pounds? If so please let me know asap! I need some Motivation ...

before n after surgery we rcv blood thinner shots so we wouldnt get blood clots. im on the depo shot 2 n hadnt had a period n a yr until after my surgery. until the hefran is out of ur system ur going 2 bleed. mine was very heavy n i was very upset but what could i do? nothing but deal with it for 2 1/2 weeks then it stopped.

have u had any fills yet? Im right behind u i was banded a month ago yesterday but i got a fill on the 21st n I had restriction for a couple of days. nt 2day though. dnt beat urself up 2day but know 2morrow its bk 2 the hard work. Its been confusing 2 me sometimes i can eat more n then other times i cnt. I dnt know what 2 do. best wishes

awww! sweety I had trouble like that as well especially with the gas n port pain. for the gas sit down but straight up n rock bk n forth might sound crazy but it helped me. as far as the port pain when the gas go away the pain may lighten up. u should have been given a pamplet when u went for ur visit 2 start ur pre-op liquids. in the pamplet it tells u how 2 care for ur scars. u might have that Fluid in u n it will drain. its going 2 b sore until all the fluids is out of the biggest scar area where ur port is. still chk with ur doc, I hope it gets better 4 u

Im nt losing that much either n I start wrking out with my new membership jan 4th. Im suffering with depression as well maybe when I let that go I can put that energy towards my goal n I will loose more. stress can kill u. be encouraged it gets worse before it gets better. happy holidays

Since my 1st fill on monday my 2days of liquids r over. I can eat now so they say. with this restriction after 2 or 3 bites I cant eat anymore. Im happy with that as long as the weight n inches come off. Santa brought me my present n its restriction. yeeeeah!!! HAPPY HOLIDAYS wishing all of u success over the holidays

I got my 1st fill dec 21st n i rcv 6cc's n boy do i have restriction. hopefully i cn see the pounds come off as well as the inches. happy holidays

I had my 1st fill monday dec 21st n rcv 6cc's. yes i do have restriction. Now im ready 2 see the weight loss because I was at a stand still before my fill. I wish u well in ur journey. kit happy holidays :-)
