Sugar Free jello pudding is GREAT for sweetness!!

July 3 for me!! 5 more days of this liquid diet!! YEPIDY!!

I finally have my surgery date which is July 3. I am so excited, but nervous at the same time!! Moving forward with my journey 2012.

Thank you so much and I wish you continual success!!

Today is a big day for me because I have been going through this process and preparing for a surgery date. Well today I go in to see the dietitian, and then my paperwork will be submitted to my insurance company. I pray the insurance send back an immediate response. They have already confirmed that I am qualified, so it's just a matter of getting a date. I hope everyone else is doing great, and I am looking forward to moving closer to my destiny!!

Thank you! I definitely will!

Snapple's Diet Drinks are listed on my Pre and Post Op diet, but I haven't tried them yet. I also like Propel Zero Grape, Strawberry Kiwi, and Lemondade.

From what I have seen on here in the past, that sounds like really bad gas. Most responses have been to walk around as much as you can like every half hour for about 5 or 10 minutes, take gas relief, and use a heating pad. I hope this helps!! Congrats on your surgery!!

Too cute!! Congrats!!

I'm having my sleep study done on Thurs night. We will see what happens! I wish you the best!

THANK YOU!!

What's the exact brand stephy that you purchased?

THANKS SO MUCH!!

Thanks for the information because that is why I want to wait til summer for my surgery!! I hope you feel better!!

I was reading a bariatric manual that was posted on here (with GREAT information), and I came across one of the things you have to stop before surgery. It stated no Estrogen for 2 weeks prior and use other birth control methods. Has anyone actually experienced this (your surgeon told you to stop taking birth control pills) prior to the LapBand surgery? If so, what about after the surgery, how long before you can start back taking birth control pills? Thanks so much for any information!

OMG, I finally went out of my element (only Yoplait yogurt) and tried Chobani Pineapple Yogurt. It was good without Splenda, but GREAT with 2 packs of Splenda. I am glad I tried it!! Now I will try some other flavors by Chobani.

I was finally able to find the Yoplait Greek strawberry in Walmart in Orlando, FL. The first one I ate out of the container, but had to add 2 splenda packs with it. The second one I am having in my unflavored protein shake and it's pretty good mixed with pineapple.

I just created an account on myfitnesspal and I am so LOST!! Please explain to me why it is saying I need to eat 2410 calories? I have not been banded yet, but I am not eating this many calories anymore, but I am afraid that I will not lose any weight now or either VERY VERY slowly!! Please HELP!!

THANKS!!

Thanks ladies, I will set it up manually. What is a good amount of Protein, carbs, sugars, and calories per day prior to lapband surgery?

WOW!!

Thanks everyone. I saw my OBGYN today and he did give me a chewable BC pill (Generess Fe), so I will ask my surgeon on the 19th about that.
