    in Gastric Band Support & Discussion

    Posted

    Did anyone eat salad as their first real meal? If so please let me know how it went. I didnt see any salad restrictions so I was hoping when real food is allowed I could have some!! Thanks

    Hey there Nebsmom,

    I ate some salad and the only thing i had problems with is the broccoli and the cauliflower...it HURT!!!! :(( :(( :(( but the lettuce and everything else was good just stay away from the hard raw veggies... :lb11:

    Hope that helped

    Happy Solids Day April 10th Bandsters!!

    Hope everyone enjoyed their first day of "guilt free" solids! I know some of us have cheated, myself included, but today was supposed to be "guilt free" and I still felt guilty! This morning I had a soft scrambled egg, with a 2 oz side of potatoes. For lunch, protien shake. For dinner seasoned broiled chicken, homemade beans, and white rice which probably all added up to about a cup of food - believe it or not! Of course, vitamin water throughout the day and plain water. I'm really not that hungry, I guess because i'm afraid to eat solids. I started with protien first, then carbs, which I just realized i didn't have any veggies today. Gotta get them in tomorrow. My left side has been hurting all day, but it started late yesterday we had a cool wind blow in, and maybe its because of that? The pain is like a pulling muscle, or tightness, when I bend over or move too quickly. I think it's the port area, but I'm not sure? Well hopefully it's nothing.

    I am walking about 6000-7000 steps daily now. It usually takes me 45 min to an hour but I do enjoy it and have noticed that I can do more walking now then I did three weeks ago. I am looking forward to the gym, but I a question: can we do anything? i know except ab work, but i'm talking eliptical, spinning, swimming, free wights? Just wondering because i know that swimming and eliptical works your entire body at the same time, so would that be stressful right now? I'm signing up with MamaMichelle's motivation plan, hope to see our progress for this month go smoothly.

    Hey ther Crazycoolbutterfly,

    I have been lightly jogging, and doing the ellipictal, and i feel great. I have had no prob with anything just a lil soreness from not working out in so long! That is so awesome with the walking 6000-7000 steps sheeezzeee that is awesome....If you want to try the ellipitical i would i dont think thatit is going to hurt you, but i read that you are having some soreness in you port site, so just take it easy and so a little bit at a time okay??

    I hope that everything works out but if you cant then keep on with the walking...just whatever you do you just have to get you heat rate up!! When are you flying in to get your fill? Or are you getting it done in your hometown?

    Hey there Guys

    It is so weird to hear about the chip lickers and the cucumber lover!! hahah but i must agree....it is so weird how ever thought that we would be in love with food o much that we would lick a chip or chew a piece of pizza and spit it out! i mean COME ON!!!! :lol: but i must say that i am with you guys and i am totally guity of all of these crimes!

    Sometimes i have to catch myself and tell myself that i cant have that. I feel like i am in a cartoon and i have a devil on one shoulder and an angel on the other. :girl_devil: It is like an automatic motion for me and before i know it and can even think the food is allready in my mouth and i have to spit it out...it is really crazy..

    Well it is getting easier and easier every day so that i am grateful for . I have 8 more days till i can eat solids!! :lb21: :lb16:

    hey everyone,

    Lora- I have been getting headaches for the past 2 days. You are so smart i didnt even think to connect the two. I just take some tyenol and mine get better. Like Brook said it could just be something that we are eating or lacking and our body is not likeing it. So maybe we should jsut pay more attention to what we are consuming as little as it may seem.

    Brook- I have been getting cold easier too! it is so weirdd i didnt connect that either to the surgery. But you are right we dont have the insulation that we used too!! hahah Our body is not used to us being so skinny!!! To rememdy this problem I grab my big old fuzzy blanket and cuddle up with my hunny on our big ol couch! That usually does the trick! :D:wub:

So i guess the answer is YES!!! Fast before the Pre-op tests!!! :D

  17. Anyone Craving Salt?

    in Gastric Band Support & Discussion

    I'm craving a few things (i.e. popcorn) but it's all just the mental thing because I LOVE TO EAT!!! Most of the time I'm not really hungry. I can't say I never am because every once in a while I'll get this incredible rumbles in my stomach followed by a gut-wrenching cramp. That must be hunger, right? Gosh... at my age, and years of eating just because I thought I was hungry, I'm not sure what hunger really is. How pathetic is that? :wacko:

    Since my surgery, I've been cooking (and baking) some wonderful dinners for my boyfriend and kids. It really doesn't bother me at that I can't eat them (even when they tease me about it). I just enjoy the food experience of preparing it, cooking it and serving it and of course the compliments after (especially the compliments... :D ). It's been said on this forum that 'food is a love affair'. I still enjoy the romance involved in preparing it. :P

    Readhead,

    I dont know if you remember seeing me but i got banded on 4-10. I was in the end corner room. I just wanted to say that I am so happy that i am not the only one that is getting those gut wrenching pains and the cramps. I have been talking to brooke and she says that she is still kinda not hungry! and i felt so horrible telling her that i hav been hungry and been getting those pains! I have not cheated and have no plan on doing so but it sux. I think that i am going to go get myfill as soon as possible! i live in San Diego so the travel part is not an issue for me.

    Well thanks for posting this and I am glad that i am not the only one! Are you going to find a fill doc in Canada or are you going to fly back to TJ?

    Thanks

    Well hello ladies,

    I was banded on 4-10 thursday also!! i was suppose to be banded on 4-11 friday, just like brooke! Just a little update all is going great! i have lost 10 lbs since surgery and i feel great. I am having trouble with the soup stage because of the fact that I JUST DONT LIKE SOUP!! hahah so i am watering down flavored instant mashpotatoes to a creamy soup consistency and that is what i eat and my shakes and yogurts and popsicles. But all is well here in my little world!!

    Cant wait to see you guys when we get our first fill!!! yeah i cant wait!!!
