  1. I am going to buy a case a week while on sale to stock up, I drink 1 every morning at work, better then then mixing the powder for sure
  2. I buy them and they are not bad, costco has a coupon for them now. I love the chocolate
  3. Yes for sure walking does help. Those gas pains in the shoulder are a killer but eventualy they will go away. Good luck to you what ever you decide
  4. I have 3 chihuahua's and as small as they are the only thing I had to keep them off my band site, even today they cannot sit where my pouch is cause it hurts. Not sure you really need to board the dog but your call of course
  5. I buy them at costco by the case and have one evvery morning, love the taste and low sugar. Best on out as far as im concerned
  6. Wowee 100 lbs in 7 monts is awsome. good for you, well got another fill about a month ago, at 7cc's now and back on track down to 230 now. yeaaa
  7. Its all a personal choice, I have never had a problem with gummies and I wont buy from the drs office, has the same ingredients as store bought, just cheaper
  8. I would do liquids till the night then eat something soft after that for a day. Worked for me untill this last fill, Now Im so restricted that I cant eat much of anything like Marfar7 I really fill it if I try to overeat. Do what you and your dr decide, but the tigher you get the less you will want to do that.
  9. I get centrium sliver chewales at walmart,then I get my fiber gummies and calcium chews at costco
  10. I do drink it now, unfortunatly they didnt make it when I did my pre diet surgery. I will tell you another good one to try is the ones from costco. They come in cartons and 30 grams of protein in them and is cheaper than the insure's. They are about $25.00 for a case of 18
  11. It took a long time for me to see it, down from 22 to 16 now, People at work starting asking me if I was on a diet..lol I do now see the difference, especialy in pictures from last year on vacation,
  12. Heck ya, its really bad when I get really hungy, thats when I need to really watch myselft. I do have a tendacy to try to take bigger bites. I guess those life long habbits are just harder to break. But I think this last fill will do me for a while. Not sure I want anymore. As much problems as Im having now will wait for a while to even think of getting another fill.
  13. I used to at first, but its been 10 months now so it's getting eaiser. But I still tend to wait too long to eat and then have to remember not to eat fast take too big of a bite. . Still getting used to that process.
  14. Very very well put, this is exaclty how it fills and yes it is a hard lesson to learn. Just had my 2nd episode today,
  15. I could eat salads 365 days a year, I just cant have the carrots and also get the spring mix.
  16. I wish I had read this 1/2 hour ago, Just ate some chicken for the 2nd time got stuck, guess Im done with eating chicken. Could be I just got a fill last week and now at 7 1/2, but all I know is I dont want to go thru that for a 3rd tme
  17. I tried some more chicken last night and the same thing, So Im done with that. Sticking to softer foods for now. Let me know how your fill goes
  18. I wont lie it does pinch a little, my place gives me a shot of litocane first (fills like a bee sting) then when she does the fill you do fill pressure but its gone as soon as they are done. They will cover it with a bandade and your all done. good luck
  19. OMG after 9 months I had my first episode of getting food stuck, I thought I would die. Was eating chicken and as soon as I swalloed I knew I was in trouble. Drinking made it worse. I tried to throw up but only saliva came up. I was done eating the rest of the night. I hope I didnt damage my band. Anyone else have this happen?
  20. My Dr. filled mine at 3cc's at time of surgery, I just got another fill yesterday and now at 7.5cc'ss
  21. Im sorry I cant answer your question but Im concerened, if you have to go to tj to get stiches removed do you also have to go there for every fill?
  22. I was told not to take them off at all, let them fall off by themselves. Took about 5 days or so,cant really remember. I know its tempting but please dont pull them off
