Congratulations! I can't wait for my first 5k. I am trying to get my self in shape for that now. That is so awesome you inspire people like me, thank you. I have only lost 71 lbs but I just keep hitting a lot of stalls and not really drinking enough Water sometimes. I think I was falling back into old habits. I am back on track now and losing, exercising and drinking my water, watching what I'm eating also. Jenipher!

I was going to get the lapband too. . .I finally convinced hubbie to come to a seminar with me after 1 1/2 years . . and when the seminar was over we were walking to the car and I asked him what he thought? he said "I won't support you with the band" I was so crushed and wanted to yell at him and tell him i didn't care i was going to get it anyhow. . .but i asked him why . . his answer nearly knocked me to the ground. . . "I won't support you with the band, but I will support you with the sleeve 100%" . . . wow, i asked why he said it was going to be cheaper in the end. . .with all the fills and complications that could happen, the sleeve was permanent and after it was done it was done. . . no fills no nothing and the seminar doctor said that if you don't get a leak after 2 weeks you won't get a leak and it sounded safer to hubbie. . . I was so happy. . . then i asked about going to Mexico cause it was cheaper. . . he just said NO! You're staying here and that's it. . . ok, ok, I'm not arguing. . . he said we could go on vacation another time. . . . eek

Yoga is my new favorite. I have 3 small kids, so I do it at home, but I look forward to it.

I agree with walking especially since you are likely not yet cleared for full activity. Stairs were not my friend 4 weeks out. But four months out I just signed up for Gentle Yoga, a Barre class and Zumba. I wish that I had started exercising more at about 3 months. In all honesty, even though I was cleared for full activity after 9 weeks, I really wasn't ready to do anything other than walking until at least 3 months.

Wait till at least 6 weeks are up. It takes this long for the surgery to heal internally. Then start slowly....pace yourself. I take dance class twice a week, walk for 45 minutes twice a week and something else once a week, like yesterday I rode my bike for about 2 hours. I started this 2 1/2 years before I got the surgery, and as the fat melts off there are some muscles underneath!

I'm happy now...the surgeon officially has everything and they said it can take up to a week for a date!!!!!

I'm a month out and just walked a 5k. I'm already amazed at how far I have come. Six weeks ago I would have never had the courage to get out there. Now I do... Ya NSV.

Im not an expert, but I have been told by a trainer and I myself have used both time and intensity during exercise. I use interval training ( ex: walk 5, run 3, walk 3 , run 8, walk 5 , ect...) Just increase your incline or your speed as you can to make new goals. Check out some running apps like 5K Free and Couch to 5K.

S - E - X ! When Is It Safe?
kmwheel replied to rapf777's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved 9/14 and have some soreness that I think wouldn't make it fun. I feel bad for my hubby, though. Hopefully next week!! -
I had Dr. Davidson and things were pretty easy. I did have to wait a long time for the process. When I started, Capital Blue Cross required a 6 month diet, so I had to do that. It was completely ridiculous, like I haven't been dieting for most of my life. The insurance requirements may have changed, but I needed lab tests, a psych eval,and I also had to go to 2 of their support group meetings. After all that was done, they submitted the insurance claim and then waited for approval. That took a couple of weeks. Then it took about 3 weeks until the actual surgery. One of the good things about this clinic is that they don't require a pre-op liquid diet. You do need to do liquids after the surgery, but I wasn't hungry at all and it really wasn't bad.

Hi Everyone I have been banded since August and had 2 fills but not had much weight loss success yet. I am going on holiday in 5 weeks and some friends were really recommending the vibration training/power plate things for inch loss. As I have not told anyone about the lapband I couldn't ask this question there, but do you think it is ok for me to use the power plates or can they harm the lapband. A special offer is going on if you take a 4 week package at the moment but I didn't want to sign up without confirming if it was safe. Thanks MD

Gastric sleeve in September... question [emoji780][emoji780]
catwoman7 replied to Trixxx's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I agree - I'm surprised your surgeon didn't bring this up with you. Normally gastric bypass is recommended for people with reflux. as for your other questions, 1 . Does GS affect your breathing in any way ? Haven't heard of this issue 2. is there any vomitation of blood in the mouth after surgery haven't heard of this - but it seems plausible since it's stomach surgery, so I suppose it could happen 3. Can I smoke my vape with nicotine after GS we were told no smoking/nicotine 4. Is it hard to swallow (water/protein drinks) in the days after GS for some, yes - but for most, no. 5. What happens if I miss my Vitamin tablets for a couple of days , will I feel weak ? a couple of days shouldn't be an issue, but I wouldn't make a habit of it. We have a few sleevers on here who were given the go-ahead to stop taking certain or all vitamins based on their lab results - but it'll be awhile before that kind of decision (might be...) made. In the mean time, you should be taking them regularly. 6. I suffer from Heartburn (gastric reflux)will my heartburn tablets be ok to take after the surgery yes, you can take heartburn meds, but again, I'm a little surprised you'll be getting sleeve surgery since you suffer from heartburn. Sleeve can make that worse. It's not inevitable - and it doesn't even happen to the majority - but the risk is big enough that many surgeons will recommend bypass instead of sleeve for heartburn sufferers. -

Hi, I just got back from Myrtle Beach last week. My hubby and i went and what worked for me was I let him order and I either ate a small portion of his (sharing can save alot of $$), or I ordered the soup and salad. My hubby was very considerate and ordered things he knew I could eat. I ate broiled seafood (very good protein source), soups, veggies and mashed potatoes. So, maybe youcan talk whoever is going with you into shating with you. Good luck and have a great time. We go to MB about 4 times a year, so let me know if you have any ?s. -

Hi bloom. I was banded on the 4th as well. Lucky for me, I didn't have the dreadful gas pains. I was on full liquids the day after surgery for a week. I'm on mushies for two weeks, and then on week four, I start real foods. I see my doctor tomorrow for my follow-up exam.

BubblyBandit replied to svince's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I am being banded on December 18 also! I am also on my pre op diet day 3 to be exact! The doctor put me on optifast which he ordered before I started. It was expensive but the tasted isnt' too bad. I get 5 a day and they are flavored in chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. It comes out to about 800 or so calories a day. -
A lot of Physical Therapy places are opening up there Gym's to the public for a small fee. Down State I pd. $100.00 for a 3 month membership and you have use of everything. I inquired in my Town that I now live in,, at The Physical Therapy Office, and yes, for $30.00 a month you have use of it all. That's all the equipment that you can think of, and the pool. That's for as long, and often that you want. So if I were you,, I would check a physical Therapy place in your area, even in a small Hospital, (THAT"S WHERE I FIRST WENT) It's worth the phone calls, and for sure worth the money. Shirley.

post-op 1+ years - stretching out pouch?
laguerr13 replied to drmeow's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
@ DJMOHR : you sounded right on point, I did research for atleast two years because of all the horror stories, surprisingly 85% of those stories were from people who had not committed or followed their plan, I is always interesting to hear people say "I don't wanna stretch out my sleeve" it is virtually impossible, as a rule of thumb and pulling various studies the number for me was 6 -8oz of size ( sizes always vary due to how much a surgeon pulls), depending on food type I can generally hold 3-4oz and on the 10th I will be one month out, I don't ever wanna go over 5-6oz so I am training myself to eating the amounts I hold now, I think the only drawback so far is that even though I get in my 64oz of fluids and learned how to sip, I still occasionally get the strong urge to chug a drink especially after my workouts.......... Oh well could be worse, I could still be trying to avoid booths at restaurants.....lol -
I'm self pay- no endo either, just an ekg and chest xray. My surgeon said the gummy Vitamins are fine to start a week post op as I didn't like the chalky ones either. I bought chewable Calcium to replace the horse pills I take now. Big day on Monday.

Banded yesterday! Have questions...
JennEdge replied to The invisible woman's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I too am having bad issues with gas pain - 3 days post-op. I'm glad to see that you guys say it does go away. I wasn't expecting the majority of my pain to be from gas...
