Ok, Take a breath... You are doing everything right... The weight will come off. You are not in the green zone yet.. Keep getting your fills, try to stick to the 1200 calories a day, exercise... You will get there... As for your husband...Im jealous..wink (men are unbelievably fast losers) Look at all your achievements and stay motivated....

It will come off, just give it time.. Try moisturizing in between showers this should help..

Wow so many RN's... Inspirational

Yeah, I heard some people say altitude can make the band tighter, but never have experience this myself. Best of Luck.

Try to get in your protein, it will help with the hunger.. Do some pureed soups too..

Breakfast: Greek yogurt and Coffee (separated) Lunch: .5c of Chicken Salad and 3 ritz crackers Snack: Low Fat Ice Cream Bar Dinner: TBA

I am a RN working in the Cardiac ICU, I took 6 weeks off and was on lite duty for 2 weeks.. Its all or nothing, I couldn't have others do my lifting. Physically I felt fine after 4 weeks, but my MD said post surgery our bodies are high risk for a hernia.. Good Luck to everyone on their lap band journey..

Love the video... Really learned something.. thanks for the post

The doctor told me liquids day of fill and then progress to soft then solid as tolerated.. The tighter I get the longer my liquid phase seems to be though. This last fill I was on liquids for 2-3 days.

Best of Luck.... Remember to walk walk walk when you get home.. You wont want too but it will help you relieve the gas filling..

Krys: Trying going on foodnetwork and looking up recipes. One of my favs are the Orzo with roasted veggies by the bare foot contessa... its wonderful..

Would love to be a buddy, help on the journey... We all could use some help..
