  1. Hello, I was wanted to know if there is any Long Island, NY banders out there. I had my band placed 9/22/10 doing good so far just having a hard time with the soft mushy foods. Also feel like I am not getting enough Protein :smile2:. I've also started bike riding which I must say hasn't been easy since I am so out of shape :frown: but I am pretty sure it will get better. When it starts to get too cold out I am going to start the gym. I look forward to hearing from any Long Islanders :crying: how are things going for you and if you have any suggestions to help me along would be greatly appreciated :tt2:

I've only had one with 1 sl of cheese but I am always afraid I am not getting enough Protein. Any advice is greatly appreciated :smile2:
  7. Hi! I wanted to know if anyone had a hard time finding soft mushy foods to eat?
  8. Congrats! I can't wait for results like that
  9. WOW!!! you look great how long did it take you to lose the weight? Did you also work out?
  10. I have a question does everyone that has the lap band work out? I have a friend that got the lap band done a few years ago and she never worked out but lost a lot of weight.
  11. Hi, I wanted to know if anyone moved on to soft foods sooner then what their nutritionist stated. I have to be on full liquids for two weeks however I've that I'm getting hungry soon then before. I'm worried about this :-/

    Help!!! my legs is numb

    Hey! So the numb feeling I had in my right leg went away I guess the extra walking around did the trick
  13. Ok so I notice last night that my right leg was getting numb:scared2: I would move my leg around or get up and walk it would go away for a little but then it would come right back :smile2: So I thought by this morning it would go away but it hasn't. It goes and comes but I have to be on my feet I can't sit or lay down. Has this happened to anyone? Should I be this worried? I think I will give my doctor a call. I am just scared because I am forever watching those shows and reading information on the internet which doesn't make it any better.
  14. I am on soups which help but after that soup has passed on here come the growling sounds I am waiting to hear from nutritionist.
  15. Hi MellieW, Thanks I've emailed my nutritionist to ask her about this. I'm wasn't going to move on to the soft foods unless my nutritionist tells me. I don't want to mess this up.

    Help!!! my legs is numb

    Thanks! :smile2: But I think you took that the wrong way I didn't mean for anyone on this website. I meant when I did a googel search the information that came up scared me even more. It's also good to talk to someone else that has or is going through the same situation you.

    Banded but don't work out

    I guess everyone is different I just want to get to the point where I feel good about myself. I do have my lazy moments but I am not going to let that stop me now. This time around it's all about ME!!! :smile2:

    Banded but don't work out

    LOL!!! I just wanted to know because just like you I am also a mom with a full time job. Yes I know that I shouldn't use that as an excuse which I am not because this is what I wanted and now that I have it I've got to make it work for me. Since nothing else really helped me the lap-band was my last option beside getting my mouth wired shut lol

    New!

    Hello Everyone, I'm new to this site I just got my lap-band 9/22/10. Everything went well with my surgery. However once I got home I thought to myself what have I done . I was so overwhelmed with everything I cried I knew what I was getting myself in to but now that the time has come and I've been banded it just hit me hard:crying:. It's been 3 days and I'm doing a lot better:smile2: the only thing is I don't know if my stomach is growling because I'm hungry or is it because of the gas:huh2:. I'm also have this feeling like I want to burp but it doesn't happen. However once this burping feeling has passed I'm ok. Does anyone else have this problem and if so does it go away? Also is anyone else also overwhelmed when you go food shopping? I'm on full liquids but I find myself walking around and around the food store like a crazy woman I can't wait to hear back from you guys since coming home from the hospital I have been on this site reading the post and they have been very helpful to me :smile2:
