am sitting in my chair at my desk. walking a bit more than normal but not lifting or doing anything (hurtful) but it is sore. do you think its okay?

its best to go by how loose your clothes are then by the scale. your weight changes so often each day, by drinking, eating, peeing etc.......try and weigh once a week at same time to get accurate readings.

its best to go by how loose the clothes are water weight, pms weight, it can ruin a whole day if you weigh, do it once a week ONLY......same time. i beg you not to go through that. its a horrid way to live

14 mo, that is so awesome. i am so proud of you i wont know my weight til wed at m first follow up i dont own a scale bc i know how weight can go up and down and i have been a slave to the scale before and it drove me mad.... i weighed myself after every pee and poop and found my life/day was based on what the hallowed scale said....no more we are going to do just great

what (we were) in the past, made us who we are now (today) that is all that matters

real for me around fourth of july

was told to puree it (chix) and make it soft..i have my list here in front of me. will def be trying diff things and blending it smooth. but check with ur dr. only going by my handouts

honk, you are so right............and am full liquids til this wed........and then on pureed and soft...........cant wait ps--the cheese is for later on when i am able to eat real food.......i plan on using beans/salsa only when/if i use them

well, they are (if i eat them) fatfree.........and will blender them with a bit of cheese and salsa. got my new blender from qvc (vitamix pulse) that i am dying to use but am only only 10 days out and trying to decide if i want too....am suppose to wait til wed..... thoughts??

hey trina i had surgery on the 6th and wanted to go back to work on the 12th but ended up taking the entire next week off. i rested, got myself together and will go back to work tomorrow. i didnt go back because my shoulders hurt so bad and because my tummy emptied itself whenever..........and the bathroom is 74 steps one way from my desk at work LOL hang in there

is there a difference between them (besides the maker?)

i had surgery on june 6th. do you think refried beans (pureed very smooth/runny) would be okay?

on wed, i am on mushies for a week and then soft and then REAL FOOD. i am so excited that wed i can have oatmeal or a scrambled egg. almost there. its hard. today was hard on me, cried and had pity party but hanging in there. you can too. you are doing so well.

cf i am so right there with you. head/mind hunger is a horrible thing. i just want you to be careful with the foods you eat. i think i havent gave in to eating (something besides my liquids) is because i am scared. your not failing. none of us are.........we are stepping on the sidewalk..

i have the lap band

hey didi not holding judgement. i support you no matter what. just be careful. when were you banded?

after i woke up after my surgery, the doctor told me he repaired the hiatel hernia. the nurses and friends on here said there would be some pain and there was. for about 7 intense days. it will pass. just REST and do not over do it.

som, how you feeling hon?

and i would say 1/4 cup..........and my chest (in the breast bone area) kinda started hurting (not bad but felt uncomfortable) did i do something wrong?

my knees hurt bad and i want to start walking. i want to lose this weight and be healthy. do little steps really work??? am i the only large female who is struggling with walking and her knees.... the hardest step is the first one........

hey stella, yep, i am 9 days post op and thought that several times. just relax, take your meds and know soon (and you will) feel better. i posted constantly on here after i was banded saying it hurts, will it stop......this forum responded. yes it will. congrats

jim that is so great. i am so happy for you

oh ms, am so sorry can you take some liquid tylenol? or use heating pad???

well, mine are a week long. (each phase) drink as much as you can and esp your protein as that will keep you from feeling overly hungry

well, youbshould be on clears and then full liquids (like i am as i was banded on the 6th) and then mushy/pureeds and solids...........what did your dr tell you nad?
