Topic: RE: My Heart Aches
3 weeks post surgery and Larrys been on a regular diet for almost a week now. He is complaining that he is still hungry after his 4 ounces.
Im thinking that he needs to get a fill??? I dont think they filled it during surgery, But his appt isnt for 3 weeks! I dont think he can wait that long.. he will drive himself AND ME nuts, and possibly blow his progress thus far.
Suggestions??? Should I try to get him in this week????
Thanks!
It's called bandster hell. A totally non functioning band (due to no restriction) and all the Ghrelin he started with.
If he is going to eat more than just keep it at protein, cut out ALL flour and sugar. Those will just make his blood sugar spike and cause more hunger.

Topic: RE: Lap band to RNY
How well did you do with the band? WHat happened with the band? No sweet spot? Reflux? Eating around the band? The reason I ask is that if you do well with restriction alone but have mega band issues a sleeve might be the ticket as well.
If you just can't make the dietary changes then with BP you'll lose weight but regain it when you quit malabsorbing.
Same with DS to a degree, no WLS type fixes white carbs such as flour and sugar.
I totally relate to needing to get he band out, BTDT. I revised to a sleeve at goal to maintain.

Post Date: 10/2/10 12:44 pm I know this has probably been covered before but ...I have been hearing about people being very disappointed when revising lap band to RNY....slow or no weight loss...This really scares me. I have to have the lap band out no matter what but now I am worrying about revising to the RNY if it is not going to work....Please do not repond with check out the DS I am not interested in it...no judgement...it is just not an option for me. Anyone with this procedure I would love hearing from. Thanks! |

Topic: RE: Fate of AZ Grads group? HELP!!
I live in Central Phoenix and would be far less likely to attend in Chandler or Estrella. I have a friend that I was actually asking for, however she also lives in Central Phoenix. I am not willing, at this point in my life, to commit to anything in terms of certain days or times but keep me posted and I can pass the info along to her.
Whatever you do is it truthful, necessary and kind?
Topic: RE: Butterflies
Thank you both or your comments, feels good to have so much support about this. I never thought about setting rewards for myself after I have reached milestones....that is a really good idea. I have been going through my clothes and it looks like a clothing store all the different sizes I have been over the years.....but I know that soon all of that will be changing and I be on the road to a healthier happier ME!!

I LOVE both those places! LOL! (Houston, that may be a problem!)
We have options for Saturday mornings at Chandler Regional Hospital and Banner Estrella for those who worry about meeting around food (received one "concerned" email in that regard).
Are you thinking of a specific "central" location? A few years ago, we had a "roving Grads group".....hitting various parts of the valley with the hope that everyone could hit at least one of the get together's every 3 months or so. It became a pain to keep up for me.....and the 5 people who came consistently didn't care where we met so that's when we took Phx St Luke's up on their offer for a location.
Grads are fickle. We're busy living our lives (finally!!!!) and some of us don't think we need support groups any longer....then there's the case of the grads who may have some regain and are embarrassed to return, or whose labs have gone South or who have emotional issues with their "new healthier bodies"....of course WE are the ones *****ally need to come. Long term support = long term success!
Anyway.....I sincerely hope that wherever we "land" that you will be able to join us!

I might be interested in something on Satruday morning centraly located. Perhaps somewhere like Wildflower Bread or Paradise Bakery where folks pay as they go for the food so there are no issues with separate checks and such.
