  1. Most Dr's prefer what they are specialized in, My Dr which is DR Billy will tell you the pros and cons of both and he may suggest one of the surgeries. They suggested gastric bypass but i did the band for alot of reasons. I also did research on both surgeries. Look at another Dr that will offer support. We have support meeting every month. Good luck in your decision
  2. You should try premier protein drinks or labrada
  3. Allie, what are you eating? are you journaling the food you eat anc ounting calories?
  4. Drink water eat a Jello sugar free, or have another shake
  5. You'll be ok, just think its a new beggining.
  6. Are you tracking your calories? Are you trying to drink 64 oz of water a day?
  7. Have you talked to your dietician or nutricionist
  8. How many calories are you having thru out the day
  9. What kind of exercises are you doing.
  10. I think you could block them
  11. If you havent ate and your throwing up like that go to the emergency room and call your surgeon. That don't look normal
  12. What surgery are you getting? I think you should ask your Dr instead of the nurse
  13. Your on the right track! Congrats!
  14. Try Labrada and Premier from costco, they are good shakes
  15. Well if your getting the band its better you get used to stop drinking soda. I heard it increases the complications of corrosion on the band, not sure if its true but i heard here.
  16. Maybe your body dont know how to process the stuff in the soda
  17. CONGRATS! Are you taking you multivitamins, calcium and b12
  18. That is so awesome! Congrats on the 200lbs weight loss. I've lost 110lbs and would like to lose 90 more but havent been able too. Your a big motivation. Could you tell me how you did it? Thanks in Advanced
  19. Labrada and Premier are the best ones i have had compared to all the ones out there.
  20. Good Job on the weight loss. You should call the dr and tell him about your situation. Maybe he will give you a fill. Good luck.
