I'm going to discuss that with my GYN on the 3rd as a possiblity.

Let us know how those yogurt frozen bars are when you try them. Thanks

I went through the same thing. I am SO EXCITED that my first appointment is scheduled for April 19th. I have done thorough research on all the surgeries, and really wanted the gastric sleeve, but my insurance doesn't cover it. I have decided to get the LAP band because of all the reasons that are previously posted. I had a family member who passed away from complications from the gastric bypass so that is definitely out. It will take hard work and support but I know I will be successful with the band. I wish you the best in your decision and this website is a BIG HELP as well. http://www.wlshelp.com/lap-band-gastric-bypass.html Be blessed!!

OMG, I hope that is not the case for me. My tubes are tied, so I am not concerned about getting pregnant. I need the pill to help control my bleeding. Thanks again everyone!

Good for you with swallowing them. I may have to change mine to night time as well, but we will see what the doctor says. @Loneil I hope I do not have to stop because they help regulate my cycle as well as helps with HEAVY bleeding....UGGHHHH! I'm so EXCITED, I just made my 1st consultation appointment after waiting 2 LONG weeks since the information session!! This website has really kept me going!! Thanks again ladies for the information!

Ok...thanks! I take 3 pills each morning that are smaller than a pencil eraser (bc pill, allergy pill, and water pill), so I guess I will have to wait and see what he says. Thanks

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!

I received my Unjury sampler box today (2 of each flavor). I had the chicken flavored soup for dinner, since I have not started my actually diets yet, I mixed in some steamed shrimp and broccoli with it. Pretty good soup with a kick. So I will definitely be ready when it's time for clear liquids.

I'm so happy for you, and I am so awaiting for the day I make it to pre-op and then move forward!! Trust in God and he will see you through all of this!!

Let me know what your doctor says please. Thanks

I see it on Walmarts website, so it should be in their stores

congrats to you...nothing like true love, and a great supporter....my hubby is the exact same way

Check out Unjury.com. They have an unflavored and all their products got great reviews. I just ordered mine and should have it Monday, so I can see for myself.

CONGRATS ON BEING IN THE 100'S, I CANT WAIT TIL I'M THERE!!!

Thank you!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS INFORMATION!!

I never thought about that as far as the carbonation. Thanks

skkcs....Please let me know the results after your appointment. Thanks

Seems to be about half and half on the posts. Thanks so much!

thanks everyone!

That was my exact concern. Thank you all for the responses.

Thank you for the responses. I wasn't sure if drinking through a straw would give you gas or not! I'm just starting my journey and want to get as much information as possible on every topic. Again Thanks so much!

What is the best practice for drinking your liquids? Through a straw or sip from a cup?
