Keep drinking water.. sip it frequently.. it will start to dissolve.. Try gargling?

I paid cash price , self pay for mine, included 1 year of fills. Every fill after that is 125...True Results in Scottsdale, Az.

NO one else?

Doctors can be total assholes sometimes. I went in for my feet, I crawled to the bathroom at times.. holding on walls collapsing from pain. Its called ( plantar faciaitis..bruised heels and tight tendons...=feels like death ) had it most of my life.. didnt notice it really until i hit my 250+ mark... 300.. it killed me... The doctor said... " Your fat, quit making excuses, and get off your butt and your feet will feel better. Wont kill you to get off the couch."... wow. I was speechless. RUDE...Well he was right, but rude. but its there, permanently, for one. The severity worsens with weight. So , ok whatever. But dont be so damn mean about it. Sometimes it takes the harsh things in life to wake u up.

I try to do it no less than 30 min. If i dont read or listen to music... i find my self timing it.. MIN by MIN.. and it makes it even harder... I get very short of breath, and now that I cant CHUG Water like before.... the sips arent as good...and my chest starts to hurt. Also the fact that Ive dislocated my left knee Twice, its starts hurting. But hurts because im over weight, the stress.. so if I go " oh whoa is me"... ill be fat and in pain the rest of my life... NO PAIN NO GAIN! but...no one said getting there would be easy.

I eat before so that I work it off, and also dont feel like massive crap for eating what i just busted my ass for at the gym. Then I come home and have a nice healthy protein shake.

A & C both. Ill have a few M&Ms or a bite or three of icec cream.... carbs, more of them than normal. a sip of fruity juice.... but in tiny portions. I probably shouldnt. But i cant eliminate everything, all at once. I dont want to become comfortable with taking 3 bites of this and that , when i get a sweet tooth either. I am going to try my hardest, and make it happen to find band friendly alternative sweets.... so that I can have them withouth feeling like a total ass about eating it right after. Im afraid to drink soda ever again lol... Im also terrified that I keep eating to much and my band may slip or something... Still new to it. But I dont want to push it. ( more than I have ) Didnt drain my savings account of nearly 14 thousand dollars to FAIL!

Nirmul did mine as well.. very,very pleased with the entire clinic too.

wooooooow!!!! amazing!!

I want to get mine done, but the hubby refuses the idea. Ill probably do it anyway....losing all this weight...im losing all my damn boobs too Booo! Id get them done in a heart beat though. do they always look like their poking through your shirt? draw attention?

my hubbys sex drive is through the roof...with gaining over 200 lbs since meeting him over 8 years ago...sex life has totally flatlined because i feel repulsed by myself. since losing 40 lbs recently ...im noticing my confidence come back. i cant wait for the sex life to come baCk too..poor guy puts up with me LOL

Being big, you go through pants like no other, at least I do...I was down to one pair of pants that fit me and I keep losing weight, lots to lose, so I can't afford to invest in more clothes right now. Does anyone ( from arizona or willing to ship) have any size 26/28 they're willing to give up? When ive shrunk enough out of my clothes I've got LOOOTS of fashionable, shirts and such ill de donating on here...this forum is amazing! Great idea for clothing exchange!

You can Do it! Ive lost 43 lbs in less than 2 months and 5 inches, not exercising a whole lot ( you'll lose more if you can exercise , obviously. ) but to say from Pre-op to now... almost 50 lbs! WOW. Its fun to say lol.. anyway, the coffee thing... I was told no milk.(skim is considered clear--according to them) so Skim and coffee PRE OP.. is ok. POST OP..no caffeine if i remember correctly..no Milk either, for a few days.. So i drank a TOOOOOOOOOON of tea and splenda.... So many options out there...
