guess we'll know tomorrow how her visit to the lap band fairy went...

posted on 3/20 by original poster ... http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f84/my-surgery-next-wednesday-55939/ doesnt sound like she's asking for all the positive fluffy bunny stuff here ...

will you guys PLEASE stop the complaining... you're cramping my 'feel good' attitude...

every doctor is different, but here is a general FAQ: http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f73/first-few-weeks-after-surgery-55787/ good luck!

i try very hard to keep my carbs under 20 grams... if i go over, definitely under 10% of my calories for the day. that's when i see the best results.

welcome to LBT!

really swamped at work today ... so f'ing pissed ... grrrr.. ok ... short reply, no. dr p would not replace it and my doc didnt have priv. at TIS, so i didnt get it. personally, i wouldnt have that be a complete deal breaker thought, but thats just my opinion....

good luck! :biggrin:

hi Mike, welcome to LBT. congrats on your weight loss so far. so sorry you have a leak. good luck getting a speedy insurance approval.

just start right now. think of the reasons you wanted the band and to lose the weight. pick a plan that works for you. low carb works well for me, but not others. i find when i am low carbing it, my cravings die down a bit. log your food, get some form of exercise. you can do it!

chicken is notoriously difficult for some people to get down. sorry you had to learn about the post op diet the hard way.

happy birthday and congrats on the 100 pounds!

it cures Peanut Butter??? :confused2:

oh, you'll be fine. i've been banded for almost 3 years and i know and have seen it ALL.

Karey, good to know, thanks! the clothes just wouldnt fit last night, but i hadnt been wearing my garment all day. thanks! well i walked .68 miles in 30 mins today. tired and starving when i finished. going to be an early night for me!

thats a wonderful NSV!!! congrats

welome birdee. the weekend totally stunk! but back on track today (mostly - i did stay within my carb limit) b - atkins shake s - 1/2 bologna & cheese roll up l - 2 bologna & cheese roll ups s - 2 milano milk chocolate Cookies (14 grams of carbs!!! about 2/3 for the day) worked out at the gym d - starving had about 1 1/2 bacon smoked cheddar Sams Club burger w/ mustard those burgers are SO delish and easy!!!

well i walked today (max speed was 1.4) for 1/2 hour. not only am i really tired and swollen (wearing my binder now) but i was STARVING when i got home. absolutely starving. (had 1 1/3 burger, no bun)... i got unfilled based upon my LB surgeon's STRONG suggestion and was actually pretty glad i did cause i got kinda tight about 2-3 days post PS. i got a fill to 9cc's, but i was at 11 and that was a good fill. so now my LB surgeon is fighting with the fill people to get me back to where i was. such the ordeal.

mmmmm ... ice cream... YAY ... running! hope the PT doesnt have to last too long! thanks for the welcome. awww, being sawed in 1/2 isnt that courageous ... :tt2: not sure if i can do the 6 hours of cardio. my PS is still very hesitant to let me on the treadmill. i am, however, going tonight for at least 20 minutes. Julie, i know you didnt have muscle repair and that makes things really different, but how long til you really starting exercising? there are times i feel like im still going to split in 1/2. and of course, my restriction is not all there yet since my unfill so the hunger moster is killing me as well. i'm hoping my LB surgeon will waive the normal 4 week waiting period and let me get more. so, for May, i'm going to say 15 pounds. it's not much, but dunno if i can do more. will give it 110% though. SO glad you are feeling better. thanks! :bored:

congrats!!

***fingers crossed***

now you arent supposed to look on the bright side of things ... :wink: but, i know my step-mom ... she isnt the bright side type of person ... but let's just pretend she is... i called her yesterday as i was cleaning out my closet and offered my clothes to her sisters (one is just about my pre-op size of 6XL+ maybe...) she hesitated ... kinda like my sisters arent as big as you were ... but agreed ...

that is wonderful!! :wub:

yeah, just take it easy and SLOW ... that's the key.
