cap full of Miralax everyday works wonders

Well I took the 60 mile challenge this month, I have missed 4-5 days, and I am at almost 54 miles walked. I only count the walking when I am walking for the exercise. I try to do over 2 miles a day and try to do 1 mile in 20 minutes

Congrats Kim on your decision, a year from now you will be so excited to see the progress you have made. Any questions please feel free to ask.

me to Shirley and this works great, one year later and so happy with the results

surgery Thursday back to work Tuesday for me Intimacy, up to how you feel and when you want it

everything will be fine, I think a little parania is fine, dont stress. A year from now you will be so glad you did it.

perfectly normal, please no freaking out. Relax relax, most people gain after surgery before they get there first fill

should have smacked her in her mouth, sounds like jealousy to me.

trouble meaning, trouble going down, maybe not chewed well enough, maybe to big of a bite, maybe to dry. The remedy, sometimes it will go down, usually it comes back up. Thats why you avoid those foods you have trouble with.

no problems here, just hope you dont need a drink very quick

I was told around 1200, somedays 1200 is impossible though

yes, my dr says bites no bigger than a pencil eraser, seems small but it works

Welcome Erin from PA and congrats on your decision!!!! You will love it

why wouldnt you tell them? They might notice the liquid diet or the mushies??

no sliders, no cereal, no soup, no shakes. meat first, small eraser size pieces and chew chew chew, then 1/3 to 1/2 cup veggies

Angie, Please do not be discouraged, it is normal after surgery to even gain a few lbs. After the swelling goes down you will be able to et just like before, like nothing has changed. Actually it hasnt changed yet. The change comes when you get fills, sometimes it will take or 4 fills to get restriction. My dr was very aggressive with my first fill and filled me to like 6cc in a 10cc band. I had super restriction after my first fill, some dr arent near as aggressive and it takes longer. I promise you one year from now you will be amazed at the weight you have lost. Any questions feel free to ask, anything

need a buddy, text/email/chat

I was told the band size has to do with the amount of fat around your stomach??? not sure, and as you lose the fat where the band is, that is why you need fills to keep it tight

Congrats Katie, its not always easy, but it is the best decision I could have ever made

I just walk right now, still think im to big for any machines

Cruise for me, December 4th, cant wait

took me right at a month

Miralax everyday

My 2 cents. Spouses of a banded person have no clue how to be supportive. We cant expect them to change overnight after many years of wrong eating, it is us with the band, we choose what we put in our mouth. Why cant you eat out? Why cant you drink pop? I do both of those and have lost 165 lbs in a year. We live in a real world, where people are going to eat junk food, and it is going to be around. Did you talk to hubby before your surgery? Did he support your decision? Does he not let you order? If so speak up and tell them you want water to drink or nothing since you shouldnt eat and drink together.

The old nutritionist is what my dr tells me
