I had heard people say how great foam rollers are, including the a$$kicker at bootcamp, but figured my stretches were good enough. Some days I am sore, but not miserable sore, just I've worked out sore. Yesterday I got an instant cash coupon in the mail for 15 bucks to a local athletic store and figured I could make a 10 buck investment to find out what was sooooo great about this foam thing. My hubby went with me and said, "I bet we can get that same thing at H0me Dep0t for 5 bucks" (funny guy, huh?). So, while watching tv last night I just rolled away. I even got hubby to try it out. Well, this morning after 8 billion swings and my training run yesterday, not a lick of soreness. My foam roller is my new bff. Got foam roller?
My journey on becoming and being a bandster. (Having the lapband procedure.) Hopefully it will not only help me in my journey and in reflection, but others that are considering lapband as a viable option for weightloss.

Tips for Success with Lap Band
- Eat only small meals (four to six ounces = 1/2 to 3/4 cup)
- Cut food into small, dime-size bites. Eat only one bite at a time. Chew thoroughly and swallow carefully.
- Stop eating as soon as you feel full. Just because you can eat more, doesn't mean you should!
- Do not drink while eating.
- Eat only quality, nutritious foods. Remember protein first!
- Avoid white, starchy foods and fibrous foods with stalks
- Drink plenty of fluids during the day (eight 8oz glasses) unless contraindicated due to a medical condition
- Drink only low-calorie liquids
- Exercise at least 30 minutes a day, unless contraindicated due to a medical condition
- Call your surgeon, nurse practitioner, or provider if you have any problems, questions, concerns, vomiting, or are unable to keep down liquids.
These are general guidelines, but each patient is unique. Speak with your doctor or nurse practitioner if you have questions or are struggling with any of these guidelines.

I used to take a Strength and Alignment class at my old gym. The roller was my favorite part of the class! Feel so amazing! She would have us do these stretches flat on the ground first, then do them again on the roller and then once more on the floor. You could really feel the difference! <3
Thanks for your comment...I really do appreciate it!
It may be torturous but I think I am gonna have to bite the bullet on this one and GO! He did say, "he will get over it"!
