  3. Good luck to you! Sorry it didn't work out for you
  4. Glad to see this post I have a friend in ABQ and she is looking for someone thanks
  5. Sorry! I haven't heard of that before. Keep us up dated. Have you called Dr about warmth? That can be sign of infection.
  6. I have no appetite for anything! Don't think this to much of a neg but I do have to make sure I eat well. I have air bubbling up while eating its strange but the wt is coming off. Anything black coming up is a sign of blood!!! I'm Dec 22 bander
  7. Yea! Sounds like you're off to a great start. Keep up the good work
  8. When I started this I didn't have co morbidity but I started checkups at Dr and I did have high colestrol high bp I just didn't knw about it. I also have foot problems so that helped. Even a slight increase requireing Meds can help your insurance approve it. Start the wt 6 month wt loss program with Dr now sooner the better and it goes by fast really!
  9. You made a great first step to stay on top of this by posting. Take a deep breath talk to Dr. And relax. You can do this!
  10. Ok I'm a freak. Lol I'm hot. I did have heat pad first few days but now I have fan and air cond. Running all the time. Banded Dec 22 and then I had foot surgery on Dec 30 not sure if this is why I'm opposite. I have jot had an appetite and have to make sure I eat. Would love for this to cont. But maybe because of pain Meds. I guess the Meds could be reason for temp. Differences.
  11. Sorry I miss read this . Getting unfilled for a cruise could be a big set back for you but the choice is yours that's what makes the such a good tool.
  12. I would make sure that you get fill a week before just incase you need adjustment you don't want to get stuck out at sea.
  13. Keeping up the protein 1st. And with every meal helps I really notice that you feel full longer. I'm still on full liquids. I have to make sure to eat enough. I put in on fit pal everyday and find a night that I haven't eat enough during day. I fell hungery some but no much of an appetite. I trying to a good sch. Of eating now while last and this is my biggest problem. Lol I'm little worried about mushies time but Im suppose to go have first fill before I start mushies.
  14. Good luck! I had mine 22. It's great you'll be happy you did it.
  15. I try not to get to much of a fixation on the food I've been trying to just keep busy and right now post everything I eat in fit life app. I am paying more attention to nutrition area to see where I can better adjust it for later. When I move to purred and reg. Food. I lost 12 lbs since band Dec. 22 but I'm not expecting that to cont. We all knw we loose a lot in beginning of diets and this is only different if you change your habits long term. We can change we have a great tool. I too feel hungery hope our first feel. Feels us up!
  16. That's great that you did it together!!! Great wt loss. You have great health future together!
  17. Start a Dr supervised diet make sure the list 6 visit over 6 months as diet not matter what other text they run . This sounds so long but it really goes by fast. Most ons. Refuire this. No pressureon this diet since failing it is how you get approved. Go figure. Lol
  18. A friend had this happen after one yr my Dr says this is a hard time. She started fitness pal again and for back on track. Maybe you could get a fill
  19. Typeing without glasses not a good idea. Foot surgery!
  20. Has anyone else had to do another surgery so close to being banded. I had to plan this way since my insurance chafed in Jan. And I've met all payouts. Juat wondered if you survived. Lol anything I might need to prepare for ect.

  22.
