Thanks for that link! Also thank u all for the replies... I will research the lotions and go get one!!

Has anyone had good results with any scar cream? I have been lazy and have not started using any but I really need to! I'm also a little pessimistic thinking they really don't work. Had anyone had real results?

Down 1 lb... Checking in at 139:)

Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, retried beans, sweet potatoes, baked potatoes, split pea soup, ricotta cheese w/pizza sauce, ( awesome) canned tuna/chicken/salmon, hummus, eggsalad! The possibilities are endless!!!!!! I actually looooved the mushy stage:)

Banded Valentines day 2/14/12 and slowly but surely have lost 28 lbs:)

Took me 3 fills and a total of 7cc to get there!

My 3rd fill was my magic one... I got my band 2/14/12 and I've lost 28 lbs;)

Boob job all the way!

Yes sir sure do! Merlot before dinner and vodka w/ diet cranberry on weekends. Has not slowed weightloss:)

Getting a trainer is defenitely on my " to do" list... Very soon!!!!

Oooh Cocoa what a story... Sorry you had to go through that! Strange how the band has a mind of it's own and tightens out of the blue right? Huh... Well just glad youre ok, and best of luck always:)

Then u ate in the right place! These threads are awesome.... Read away. Everything I know I have learned from this website, as I never had any counseling prior to surgery. Best of luck in your journey!

Oooooh dipped in hummus!!!

Try powdered milk.... It's fat free and gives it that "rich" creamy texture.. It's awesome. As for sweetener I like equal, it tastes like real sugar to me. Good luck!!

When were u banded?

Good luck on your journey New! Welcome:)

Beaver?

My surgery was Valentines Day 2/14/12... Yes, willpower is no joke! Just feels like "any other diet" until we get restriction! (that quote is used a lot but sooooo true!) good luck to you as well:)

Hi Grandma! Good luck w/your 1st fill! Thank goodness you only see it one time, my phone has a tendency to double and triple my posts!

OMG SOOOO sorry my stupid phone posted this 3 times! So annoying!

Hi everyone:) I got my 3rd fill today after work. I already had 5cc in my band and no restriction. My Doc decided to put another 2.5 in and I could not swallow water! I was so surprised, it was great to finally feel the band work! Lol To this point I swear it felt like I never had the surgery and have lost my 20 lbs with pure will power. Anyways, we decided 2.5 was a lil much and he took out 0.5. He thinks this one should do the trick!! I sure hope that 3x is the charm!!!!

I have 5CC after 2 fills and had restriction (so I thought) for about 2-3 days, then nada. I go for my 3rd tuesday and hoping 3rd times a charm! Best if luck to you:)
