 | Three Simple Rules
|
| Weight Loss with the band
Have you ever wondered if there is a set of rules for the lap band? Things that if you follow will make you a successful patient? There are -- three simple rules - and all of them important.
(1) Eat slowly - your meals should take no less than 20 minutes and no more than 30 minutes
(2) Measure your portions - 1/2 cup of meat/fish/protein and 3/4 cup of vegetables (not salad)
(3) Eat well -- avoid junk or fast food, and eat a healthy mix of food
That's It!!! Simple - easy to follow -- and if you do that the band will work for you. Here are three things that WON'T WORK
(a) Not coming in because you are embarrassed. We want to see you. If you are having problems don't think it is just you. We see the band as a process to losing weight- it isn't the entire solution. The band is a device- -and sometimes if the device isn't adjusted properly (too tight or too loose) you won't lose weight.
(b) Letting the band tell you how much you should eat -- . The band won't stop you from eating any amount of food. That is your job-- get use to measuring the food and get use to taking your time eating -- then it will work great! But if the band tells you to stop -- you have eaten too much
(c) Falling back to old foods. Its easy- but the band is one part of what you need to do- learn some new recipes-- we have new ones for you every week on our new blog Your Doctors Orders
We want you to succeed! So if you are having troubles-- come on in--

| Remember the Day
Memorial Day is important to me - my brother served in Viet Nam - earning three metals (which we didn't discover until after he died in 2006). So we will only be open half the day - as we know there are some who have a difficult time coming during the week.
