thank GOD

Im having a hard time passing this excess gas,,,i evn take gas x and walk allot...help i look prego

im day too and whoever invented gas strips im in love with themmmm

This is my second day post op and I feel great. Im happy i took this life change..

So guess what guys......................Drum roll please.........I GET BANED IN LESS THEN 24 HRS....Im happy, sad, excited, nervous.... all in one. I know that this will be the last day of my old slugish life.......I really want to cry.,..

Thank GOD it's on my list, They have been a life saver.... I guess diffrent doctors have diffrent criteria..

sugar free jello, Sugar free pudding, yougert low cal and sugar, Sugar free pop cicles..... You just have to open your world up to ne possiabilites. Aslso oatmeal watered down with milk ( skim or 1%) put a sugar sud in it and some cinn it's great. The list goes on

Well I went and got body fortress from walmart and i love it......It high in protien so I don't have to use as much powder as i did with Jullian Micheals and it's only about $14.00 and a 2ld jug. I was supper stoked....

Ok so im looking for a protien powder that I can buy in bulk....I buy the Jullian Michaels Whey powder but it dont come in a big jug i go through one in less than a week and it's not cheap so I need to be more cost effective if this is going to be a long term thing for me. AND SINCE IT IS... I need to save money. Although weight is a big thing in my life i still have to live also....So HELP....SMOOTCHES.

thanks guys. I get baned on the 1st im excited....

Sorry maybe it's me i didn't understand that???????

You are....I feel that i am perfect at my size but it's no healthy so i mush change it....You need to learn to be comfortable in your own skin....no matter what size you are if your not comfortable your gonna think one more size, one more size. You need to find someone to comfide in for help...Were you always uncomfortable with the way you looked?

So I have been making a big deal about the fact that i haven't lost any weight on my pre op diet..... So I was going over all my paper work and reading the protien shake instructions.....UGH IM NOT GETTING NEARLY ENOUGH PROTIEN......I was putting one scoop in my shake insted of 2.........This was a silly mistake I know......I could kill myself.. I used to make protien shakes for my boyfriend and only used one scoop and thought that was what I was to do for myself......NOOOOOOO...

This is truely how you should view it A NEW START....

I think this is true in some forms but not others. I personally think that this sight is here so that others can take advantage of the information and knowladge of issues that thier PEERS are or have experienced. Now if a problem arise with a bander and it is a NEW issue that they are having then I would see for one to ask for advice and take caution in proactivly using it untill they can get in with thier surgen to be advised on this issue. But if is a issue that one has had before, the advice they were given by thier DR didn't work I see no problem in asking other BANDERS what they have tried and what worked... Asking can save allot of time and pain, while your trying these many concoctions.. THAT may not work... This is my PERSONAL thought on the matter..

Can some people share with me the pre op diet that they are on because i am loosing no weight.....AT ALLLLLL

Can some people share with me the pre op diet that they are on because i am loosing no weight.....AT ALLLLLL

This is great... Im not having as much luck with my pre op diet. if I may ask what was your meal plan?????? I get banned next TUESDAY.... OMG im scared but I wont show it....

So i went in for my pre op appointment today..... I gained a pound... I was supper pissed but my doctor say my intake of meds STAROIDS are the reason... HE was soo cool.. Ihave really heard of surgery cancalation for a pound of weight gained....

OMG you get banned a day sfter me....Are you scared?

I have been on this pre op liquid diet.. 3 protien shakes a day. 1 6oz grits or oatmeal soupy, brooth, sugar free gelo/ pudding for 5 days now.. I havent lost any weight...Whats going on i getting pissed...

Well my surgery is coming up May 1st to be exact and im starting to have mixed felling and cold feet. Im on the liquid portion of the pre op diet now and im having a bit of a strug;e but m sticking with it. But the factor of being on liquids for 5 weeks (2 wks before 3wks after) is getting to me. Thier is only so many ways that you can mix a protien shake. Not only that I am reading allot of stories on this sight from people that thier band is not working. This one girl has had it for 2 1/2 years and have only lost 50 pounds...I scared that im risking my life and it's a possiability that it's not worth it... I say risking my life because ANY surgery for me can be my last. I have been through allot over the last past 5 yrs and i just want something to come out right. Honestly im not that girl that want to loose a ton of weight, but i need it due to my health condition.. Maybe im just having cold feet.....

This is great that your doing so well it give me hope for when I go in on the May, 1st. I have sleep apnea also so now i know that it will be a posibility for me to stay the night in the hospital. I know recovery will take a while but my 1st cousin is getting married on the 5th and I feel obligated to go.....I hope that you recovery be a joyful time for you and not a painful time for you... YOU HAVE MADE IT... skinny jeans here SHE comes......
