Keep drinking water, exercise, measure your food. No bread, no rice or any white flour stuff. Protein up and crbs down. Walk, Think possitive. Are you sure that your band is 9cc? -

Need To Find A Doctor In Arkansas/missouri/ Or Oklahoma!
Cindysmom (Ilene) replied to wishuponastar's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
good saving....best of luck -
My doc does a similar fill. But does not ask me how much to put in. I have a 10 cc band and my doc is very very carefull. He does not like to un fill at all. I had 1 unfil and now he doesnt want to do fills on me any more. I agree with the doc about your focus. Have you thought about the exercise that you are going to do? I suggest that you measure your food. As your band get restriction IT will tell you that you are full. But do not expect it to do it right now. Don't over eat. Try to just have 1 cup of food per meal. Your object with this band is to lose weight. It is just a tool. You have to do work to get the too going. The book Bandwagon is a great book. I think you will love it. We are all here to help. But you need to help you....hugs. Don't worry about your fill its a breeze and a prick.................

You should think about buying some broth. and clear liquids to drink. Some sugar free jello. Maybe popsicles. sugar free to eat. I was only at the hospital for 4 hours. What did the Dr's office tell you?

For some reason I thought I read something about someone feeling that they will starve on soft food. Am I nuts? Oh I see it was starting not starving...sorry. -

To my Floridain gal friends. Think of the bathing suits you will be wearing soon. You gals will not starve from having less food, or soft food. I promise you. I also promise you both that you will be much happier with the weight loss you will have. The band is a wonderful tool. But we cannot cheat or abuse the tool. i did so great cause I went full blown on the band. At 64 now 2.5 years ago i was 62 and I lost slowly. When I lost 89 my friend who is 12 years younger lost 135. So I will be happy to work with both of you gals. If you want me to. Just ask...YOu can also send me a private message or use my email at aol. does not matter to me. but what does matter is that both of you spend alot af money and now have the lapband. So we can work together. drink that Water right now.....hugs -

Lapband Vs. Vsg
Cindysmom (Ilene) replied to lilbit182004's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Ditto from the above...I never felt the band and it is almost 2.5 years for me. -
could you have lots of diabetes in the family? I agree with the others. Make sure you write down the names of who you speak to. Also could you get this in writing? YOu might want to talk to your boss and they might be ready to renew the contract and make changes..

Post Lap Band Diet
Cindysmom (Ilene) replied to georgia247's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I liked broth. Veggie, chicken and beef. Go for the egg Drop soup..I'll join ya. I do not think there are any restrictions on how much you can have. Drink Water. It will flush out the fat and the weight. Do not get constipated.....That is the very worst thing to happen. Relax. walk. walk. Think about how pleased you will be....Think about your exercise plans.. -
Fellow Bandsters!!!! Please Help
Cindysmom (Ilene) commented on saramatos11's blog entry in saramatos11's Blog
My Answer is for the last question: yes. you are over thinking. I suggest that you think about how much walking and exercising you are going to do. How excited you are that you have the lapband and are going to be sucessful with it. Didn't the office give you more information about fills, pre and post surgery rules? A relationship with your Dr is the most important thing. Relax. and good luck. no bread.
