great news.....but i done told you dont need the plication to be a success and lose weight..YOU have so got this....i am soooooo excited....if i could dance id dance but id take out the shelves behind me as i type this...

10 months post op my snack varies from day to day.. (please note its not eaten unless i am hungry)..i always have a Protein bar in my purse or at work at work i keep an apple, orange, sf chocolate pudding in my drawer and i bring baby carrots every day in little snack baggies

i never heard of it until the dr told me when i woke up from surgery that he repaired one....it hurt to take a deep breath and i went home after overnight stay.....and when i used that breathing machine to help keep my lungs clear, it was kinda hurtful but not soo bad.....

count me in.......FYI i am EST zone

if you ever in raleigh nc, look me up

some of the nicer convenience stores and supermarkets have some great veggies/fruit premade/premeasured as well as (hot meals)....i think its an pretty easy way to eat....and def use the cooler if you want to prepare ahead of time and have it ready for you.

yep, kari doesnt like to go walking....her a house doberman.... so there is kari and kabo--(can you tell i am a sammy hagar fan or what),,,,,kama is the bulldog. so its kari and kama and kabo

again, if you have lost (inches)......you have lost weight.. the scale number goes up and down all day long.....but inches and my butt fitting into size 16/18 vs size 30 .......i really couldnt care what the scale says as clearly, that is losing (weight).

for you and great job

the ones that dont matter, who cares what they think anyhow and the ones who do i will say lean protein, alot of fruit and veggies and peach ice tea and an ole man who wont let me slack........and kabo the doberman saying momma lets go walking now........he is about 120 pounds of baby and his head is at my boobs.....geeesh, hard to say no when he leans on me..

congrats on that first of (many) appts to come your way. stay positive...you can do it

go to the doctor as they know best.

extreme chest pains needs to dealt with at the ER or the doctor...great job on calling the nurse....did you have hernia repair? i did and my chest hurt with deep breaths for about two weeks..if you are super concerned, and you feel its your heart, go to ER asap.

god i knew i loves you

well said

i asked my hub this question, as he was a AF recruiter for 15 yrs......he said the paperwork would have to be approved (and reviewed) and signed off on and if it approved (ok'd), as long as person was in weight standards, no reason not too..but .....again, have to be approved by medical...hope this helps.

did the dr okay you to move to pureed so soon as surgery? the insides are swollen and sore from just having major surgery. if you are in pain or scared, call your dr and let them advise you.

i like option 1 but i am not a doctor. i am sure the dr wil do what is best for you. bless your heart. this sounds just awful...hang in there. sending much positive pink vibes from nc that i can..

this post helped me. if it helps (one person) as i see it, it is helpful

i am a terrible guesser......hence why i have not won the lottery in my life yet.

and if you dont (see me) eat it, it doesnt count either

i agree with all the posts.... i am very aware of all i put into my mouth body now and from being a dieter my entire adult life, i can quote the cal contents of everything....even sammys cabo wabo tequila i know 3500 cals equals a pound and if i take in (eat more) then i burn off i will gain.......i dont focus so much on cal counting, but i do portion control by measuring strictly (as i have posted pictures of my lunches/snacks etc) if only the newbies listened to the dr and the nutritionists and not over think it....eat better food in smaller amounts (let band help) and see what happens..

i feel it when i touch mine esp when i am walking..i like knowing its there..my helper......i dont feel it much otherwise..

if worried, always call and tell the dr/nurse and let them advise you and proud of you for doing that as you dont read that on this forum much..its more (my arm fell off what should i do?? ) i dont feel it is a big deal, just part of the healing process but if it does concern you, go in and have them take a looksee

i battled that in pre op and found out it is true..(seeing hub eat some snacks or people here at work eating something)......so when i (think) i am hungry, i drink something.....that usually settles the issue. but if i am truly hungry, i eat some protein to feed my body....i dont fret over it too much.
