I agree call the doctor. The large incision is your port, and it takes a while to fully heal. The doc will know what to tell you.

The one you posted looks good. Some don't like shakes mixed with water, and even skim milk can add carbs and calories. If you find you don't care for the water, try unsweetened almond milk in either plain or vanilla. It is only 30 calories per cup and high in calcium.

It is only hair and it will grow back. Better a healthy you with a hairpiece than obese with sexy hair!

Great progress and happy things are settling down. I had problems of the other type post surgery and had to have meds to go. Funny how we are all different. I hope you continue to do well. If you have questions, we will be here.

Call the doctor, it does not sound normal. How long to wait after last eating to go to bed?

Bitterness is sad.

I was self pay, and the net out of pocket was around 10K.

Yes, but chew well.

Drink hot ginger tea or sip flat ginger ale... diet of course!

I agree with your decision. Your health will mean a healthier baby in the future.

Look into FitDay.com. You can log your foods there. I know that there are a lot of other places as well. Someone else will answer with those.

You need to get an unfill. Alcohol is definitely not smart. Call and talk to your doctors office about payment plan if you must, but get it fixed! Transfer addictions are real!

Wow... is there anything left? I can eat all the foods on your list. Consult a nutritionist.

Wow... all the goodies in one post. Yay Cheryl!

Green zone may or may not be in your future, but then many lose without ever feeling it.

Can't help, I don't drink any alcohol. Empty calories.

Great idea Cheryl!

Amen Cheryl. I have worked with rescued dogs and cats for years. How is little BJ adjusting? I am sure he will thrive on your love and care! :wub:

I think being nervous makes you normal. We all felt that way to differing degrees. Yes I did try diets over the years, but once I committed to Lap Band, and never looked back. It is the best thing I have ever done for myself!

I agree... beautiful and happy! Great work. I know you will get to your goal!

Hang in there... your day will come!

I agree with the above. I had small amount in band at surgery, and have added less than 2 cc over 14 months. It varies by doctor, so have a chat with your when you go in. Mine waited 6 weeks before adding any to my band.

You can lose without a fill, plenty on here have. Cheryl just posted, also look at Carolina Girl. She is down 88 pounds without a fill.

My mother always said, "better out than in!"

Looks disgusting, but if you like it, go for it!
