Thank you for your reply. It all sounds true. I will increase my water. Hugs, Rose

Thank you, I do eat broccoli but you would never know it. I am on soft solids. So I am trying spinach too. Thank you Hugs, Rose

Hi , That does make sense. Is the Dulcolax Suppositury different than the Fleet suppository? Cause I have tried the fleet. Thank you Hugs, Rose

Where can I buy this tea? Maybe I can have some on hand. Thank you so much. Hugs, Rose

I am so embarrassed to ask for help with this but I am going to anyway, cause I need help. I am 19 days post op. I cannot have a BM to save my life. I have tried Benefiber, Milk Of Magnesia,Dulcolax, Fleet Enema, Suppositories, Eating Baby Food Prunes and I can't go. I had the urge one or two times and had to manually pull some out of my behind. I have even gained 3 lbs, because I can't go. It's all building up. there any suggestions before I get the Dr to have to get it out? Is this normal? Has or is anyone having this problem? What was your saving grace? The Dr said I did all that he would suggest. Help!!!! ROSE

I am Rose age 52 and live in Hamburg, PA. Dr Ku is going to do my Lap Band Surgery On May 19th and I am wondering if I might be able to find any of Dr Ku's patients that would like to become friends and exercise/walking buddies. Also idf you've already had the surgery , how are you doing? I would like to share my email address and phone number with you so that we can get in touch off of this site. Thank you and I hope to hear from someone. Hugs, Rose

Yes, my surgery date for my Lap Band Is On Thursday May 19th. I start my pre op liquid diet Tomorrow the 15th. Best of luck to you and to all the May banders. Let's stay in touch ok? I don't know how to do the ticker thing. But I will say I am 52 years old and I'm at 318 lbs and need to lose about 160 lbs. May God Bless Us All On Our Jouney Hugs, Rose

Honey, I too am pre op but the only people who've tried to talk me out of it, don't know about the Lap Band. The complications were to people who had the othe procedures. Most people don't know about the lap band but only the by-pass. Looks like you need to lose 105 lbs I need to lose much more and I am 52. You sound young. Please don't give possibly having a longer and healthier life up to hear say. Maybe the friend is afraid you're going to change toward her if you lose weight.I've had a couple of people ask me that stupid question. UHHH yeah I'm gonna be happier and feel better so I will change for the best. If your friend can't handle you getting healthy then, that isn't much of a friend. Do what you and your Drs feel is best. Not what others who really have no clue think. It's your life at stake. Best of luck. My surgery is on May 19th. Hugs, Rose

I have a list of what to drink for my pre op Lap Band liquid Diet but it didn't suggest a menu. The choices resemble the 3-9 day full liquid diet/menu items. I want to get this right. It is the weekend and don't know who to contact. I wasn't called back about an Angel yet. Also, is it normal to have diahrea(don't know how to spell it.) I have tried 2 drinks of the Protein powder drinks for a few days to get use to it and I am having some incontinence trouble. I'm running to the bathroom a few times a day. I start my 4 day pre op tomorrow May 15th. Surgery on the 19th. Advice is really needed and welcomed. Hugs, Rose

Hello Alex, I think the ad is good. It explains a bit about the procedure, the health benefits and how to inquire about it in a minimal amount of words and time. I like that they don't have people on there who have had it done. Personally, when I see people talking on TV about how they had anything done to their bodies,(you know,info-mercials the miracle cures for anything) I always wonder. Are they paid actors/spokespeople? I believe the people who I know for certain had it done. Like on here for instance, or at the seminars/support meetings , friends and family, etc. Again , it says alot in a nutshell. Rose

Thank you for your input. It is greatly appreciated. I hope you will stay successful on this journey. Blessings. Hugs, Rose

Wow ! You're doing great! Congrats and thank you for your kind words and encouragement. I hope I can start that same threat that you just mentioned. Everything good. no avice needed. That would be awesome. Continued success my friend. Blessings, ROSE

Thank you so much for your reply. Congratulations on your success. Yes, I need to find an excersise bike. I'm hoping to get one through freecycle you know the site where you give things away? I am on a very low income but Thank God my medicaid is paying for my procedure. Take care and God Bless. Rose

Thank you so much for replying and congratulations on your success. I appreciate your honesty about basically just being human. LOL! I am addicted to certain foods and portion control so it will be hard. But I need to do this. At age 52 my life depends on it. I have too many problems. Continued success. God Bless. ROSE
