    Herbalife

    I use Isagenix. While it is expensive (about $300 a month), it replaces 68 meals during the month. I feel better now than I have in my whole life. The concept is complete wellness and nutrition. It rids your body of toxins while providing perfect nutrition.
  2. I am able to sell it but the only reason I am even considering it is because of how much I love the products. My boss got me hooked on it and I can't get over how wonderful I feel. I don't look at it as a business opportunity. I am just doing it for the products. I am definitely not out to sell to anyone.
  3. I know this is an old post but I searched Isagenix on here. I am so excited to see that some people have used it. I just started this week and I have to say I am LOVING it!!! I had my band surgery in June and I have been doing well. The Isagenix was started solely for the wellness and nutrition factor. The weight loss/inches loss is just a nice side effect. My mom just started using it too and is feeling amazing.

    Fill Problems

    I was so excited to get my band filled today. Everything was going great! They put in 4 ccs. It was all downhill from there. I sat up, felt okay, started drinking my Water. At the second sip, I got hot all over, a little tingly, and then started heaving. The doc took out 2 ccs. I still feel really weak but at least I can swallow water. Has this happened to anyone else?

    F-U 300!

    Absolutely LOVE the topic! Congrats!!!
  7. Banded 6/11. I am down 31 pounds total since starting the liquid diet. I feel GREAT!!!! I haven't had any food issues so far. Some days I forget to get all of my protein and supplements in. I find that if I am not eating enough, I lose nothing. I am getting my first fill on Wednesday so I am pretty excited about that. I also have much more energy and all of my pants are WAY TOO BIG.

    Sorry Guys! Spotting....

    Same things...also if you are on the pill and they gave you the anti-clotting shots, I have heard it makes the pill ineffective.

    Stomach Belt

    I wore it when I started exercising more shortly after surgery mainly for my port which was still sore. It made a huge difference and made exercising much more comfortable.
  10. Monday will be 2 weeks post-op. Today I put on my wedding ring for the first time in 8 months. And for the first time in 3 years, my feet aren't sore and swollen. I am down 20 pounds since pre-op which isn't too shabby either. I hope this is the start of the new me!!!
  11. I am day 6 as well. Some people actually feel pain differently than others. You are doing fine. I am one of the people that have said how great I feel. However, I still have port incision pain and getting up is awkward. I could have probably gone back to work yesterday but i do not have a physically demanding job. I know people that needed 2 full weeks. I think everyone just heals at their own pace. Take it easy!
  12. I felt horrible day 2. Regrets, just not feeling right. I had very little pain which I could've cared less about. It was all the other feelings, nausea, anxiety, lump in my throat, gas. Today is day 5 and I feel pretty great. It will get better. Hang in there!

    Ate Some Tomato Soup

    That's how I felt when i drank too much too fast. It was just uncomfortable.
  14. Hope everyone is doing well after Monday. I wish i could get rid of these gas pains in my back. I guess walking is the answer since they don't bother me when I am up.
  15. Hang in there. I was just banded Monday. I had terrible nausea day 2 and part of 3. I didn't take pain meds by choice or any type of tylenol. I just have some gas pains in my back. Today i am like a new woman.
  16. Had surgery Monday and it does get better. Days 2 and half of three were terrible. I used a heating pad on my back which helped with gas pain.
  17. So here I am on the 3rd day post op. I did get to stay in the hospital overnight which was a relief. Since I felt so good in the hospital I thought that going home would be a piece of cake. Unfortunately, I had bouts of nausea yesterday coupled with my anxiety acting up. I really hope and pray that passes soon. I guess things are getting better. I haven't really eaten since surgery but this morning I am trying to have a little bit of very watered down oatmeal. I still have a good bit of gas but it only bothers me every so often. It keeps me from getting in all the liquids because I feel so full. I am walking, probably not as much as I should. I will be fixing that problem today. I did it also before bed last night and felt so much better. I have a high tolerance for pain so I am not really taking any pain meds. Only taken a dose before bed. So, the pain is not an issue. Tell me it gets better.

    Annoyed

    Went to a nutrition seminar today. People having different surgeries were there. I was the only one having the band. One guy getting the sleeve said...and I quote. Uh. Why would you ever do the band? You know it doesn't work. I just can't stand people like this.
  20. Starting mine tomorrow. It is optifast so at least I don't have to think about what to eat. Good luck.
  21. Starting my optifast tomorrow and trying to keep a positive perspective. Some initial weight loss and being closer to my surgery date of June 11th can't be all bad.
  22. June 11th for me. I start optifast on Memorial Day. So excited..For surgery not optifast.
