Thanks Alex!!

His loss!! You look great!!!

Love my band!!

I'm still having something weird going on. I'm not getting any emails back on responses and have a bunch of warnings on top of site saying cannt modify headers?

Yay.

I have put the HP on the side. The pain is there due to a nerve that the port sits near. That is what I have heard anyway. If you have new wounds don't heat over them. It really helped my pain

Yay!!

Yay! Welcome. That 6 months goes faster than you think. It the one diet you can fail and get rewarded for lol

Yay! Congrats!!!!

I was banded Dec 22 and when I went to Dr on 29 I had lost 12lb. 25 total since being on lb diet. I had foot surgery 30 th so haven't wt'ed since but think I've lost more. I'm just starting to feel like I'm hugery. I had no appetite mostly I think due to pain Meds and antibiotics for foot. I had some shoulder pain a couple of days thank God its gone now.

Try fitness pal its an app you can download. Keeping track of your cals and eating proteins first

Yay me too! That was my biggest fear of lb surgery. I'm glad to over that I'm going to save a huge amt of money. When I told friends and family I was going to be banded the first thing everyone of them said was " you knw you're going to have stop drinking soda" lol. Great job!!! Oh I really like the MIO drops you add to water o cals. They are in tea area of store

More to this question: do you have to much tightness first few days? As with swelling ect.

I was told to crush mine. I bought a crusher at drug store. I take my pills with a tso of pudding or Apple sauce. Check with your pharmacy about the the pills you take there are some pills you can not take crushed.

Oh I also add plain protein powder to eggs milk soup ect. I don't add much just a 1/2 tsp. Figure it has to add some value. I'm going to try adding to reg. Meals when I get to that stage.

I'm taking vits liquid B and multi chews. I make sure I get all my protein needs with shakes. But I do worry a little I'm not getting enough too?

I couldn't get very often. Even this morning it was down for awhile

You're changing your life. That can give you doubts. I'm a newbie but am so happy I now have what I need to help me control the thing I couldn't control. Just hang in there you'll be surprised just how good mushies will taste. Lol starting now change your life.

Congrats to you both. It's great! I got my band 22 Dec. In Houston. It's great that you both got it you can split meals and not waist as much food as I do. Lol good luck to you both! And welcome to bandland!

I knw this site is for us all but I use it for new info and support/ motivation. It does erk me when that person comments but now I just over look that name and go on. She maybe having problems. I read hers before surgery and it didn't change my mind. So since the comments aren't supportive/ helpful to me I just skim over them to something more motivate

I tried? What is NSV ?

Yay! Good luck. Welcome!!!

3 days I was feeling great. I couldn't work out it lift over 20 lbs but I was able to go about day to day without problems.

2bsmaller you're great you stay positive and motivated. Maybe we should start a plan for a lb group trip to cancun. Lol

It took bcbs about 3 weeks I did call after submitted 2 weeks to check on it. Not sure if that help or not they only told me it was still being processed. I was going to call again the week I got the ok . Just wanted to make sure they were looking at it. Good luck
