  1. It is not a diet, it's a life style change!
  2. If you had a mini stuck episode, you may need to do a day of liquids to give the band area a chance to settle down.
  3. Healing phase... and the port is sensitive to how you sit if you stay in one position for too long.
  4. It is possible to slow the metabolism down if you don't eat enough calories. Ask you dietician for a recommendation for you.
  5. Most fills are billed and you will have copay. Once a week seems a bit fast to me. The goal is to lose slowly over time, not in a short time. Fast weight loss places too much stress on the system. I have a good friend who has lost 80 pounds with NO FILLS in 6 months, just by following the Lap Band eating rules and portions.
  6. Sounds like you need to unfill a bit. Take it easy until you can get to the doctor.
  7. I am known to be lactose intolerant and I can use Unjury with no symptoms in Almond Milk. Higher in calcium, low in calories and carbs. Tastes great!
  8. We all are celebrities. We have taken charge of our lives and begun to live healthy!
  9. Good luck to you all and congratulations on beginning a new life.
  10. Everyone is different, some feel the fill right away. If it is an early fill, it make take a few to get good restriction
  11. It does grow back, no panic!
  12. Calcium Citrate minis with D work for Calcium. I take regular Centrum silver. Being post menopausal don't need the iron. B-Complex, Biotin 500mcg, Zinc Glucosamine, Chondroitin with MSM.
  13. Welcome Julie. Keep posting we are here for you!
  14. Heating pad, walking, and windmilling arms as you walk. Hot tub?
  15. Try mixing the Unjury with Almond milk and see if that makes a difference.
  16. Nay.. too easy to swallow and get stuck!
  17. Walk and windmill your arms. You are not having a heart attack! Try heating pads and hot baths. Go use AJ's hot tub! Silly girl... you will be fine Banjo... we won't let you down!
  18. As long as it has the protein you need you are fine.
  19. Tracking is important, and check the body measurements!
  20. Your body... I don't do caffeine. Ask your doctor or nutritionist.
  21. Hard boiled eggs are not soft, and we don't drink and eat at the same time.
  22. Greatest thing in my life after childbirth, and a lot less painful
