You will loose some, but it grows back. Hair sheds and it grow back too. You don't loose chuck or like Chemo. If you maintain your protein and take your vitamins that will go a long way for your complete body health. AAH is hard to maintain since it is fragile, so extra care is needed and attention to details should help to.
Yup! Recognize, attitude, and gratitude... be honest with yourself = healthy success.
Yup. I use the teaspoon rule. Taste with a teaspoon... no need to full up like its last supper. When eating more, I measure out what I'll eat using the different capacity cups... easier than a scale. I take my time to make sure I am tasting my food.. no food eating contests. In the beginning I could not do this, it was a lot less of any foods, but post op almost 2 years I taste things and that is enough. Food is just to live, even at a celebration.... we are celebrating life.
Maybe check with your WLS support group and or your doctor. Check ups just to make sure nothing extra is going on. Read research and read some more.
Hello Everyone, I had my lap band surgery in 2007. I started at 340 lbs and got down to 218 lbs. But during the last 3 years I've had some personal issues and as a result, I gained weight and I am currently 318 lbs. I haven't even had a fill in 3 years. I scheduled an appointment for a fill for this Friday. But I can eat almost anything and any amount without any issues. I just hope this fill works and i am able to lose weight again. Any suggestions?
At my two week check up I was down 22 pounds. I go back this week for my one month check up. I don't think I lost anymore weight but inches. I have a few issues with this surgery like lack if energy and hormonal changes that may impact my weight loss. When did you have your surgery?
Hello there how are things going for you? I am losing slowly and feeling great in the process. The Dr. said its because I only had 70 lbs to lose so I am holding on to that. How are you feeling?
I'm in the DFW area. I'm glad things are going well for you. I am excited, and nervous. I keep wondering if this is really right for me. Then I think of the alternative to losing weight the old fashioned way. I could do it...for a while...then old habits slowly but surely start to creep back in, and I've gained more! Weight roller coasters suck.
Thats great, what part of Texas I am in Houston. Things have been going well. I feel awesome. Losing pretty slowly bit it is coming off thankfully. I know you are excited.
