  1. Let me know how it works. I'm going to buy it. I'm also massaging my scalp. I heard if u take Omega 3 it's good to stop hair loss.
  2. I'm so scared. This is what scares me more than the other risks. I have thin hair already and don't want it to happen ugh. I'm gonna have to see what happens then.
  3. I heard injury is one of the best for protein absorption.
  4. My pre-op diet is my hmr shakes too. My nutritionist was giving me a 2 week diet but then she recommend a shake/liquid diet. They are seeing better results with this diet better. The shakes are not bad just tired of thinking of the shakes.
  5. I'm taking the hmr shakes. They sell then at my doc's office. They are ok. Hanging in there.
  6. Your so lucky. I'm keeping head up and my trying to have my stomach quiet. Lol
  7. Lost 4 pounds already past two days whoo-hoo. If you struggle just think how pounds will come off and you will feel better about yourself.
  8. Hello. I started my liquid diet yesterday too. It is awful . I even threw up some of my shake ewwww!! I never throw up it felt horrible. It's day 2 for me too. I also have surgery may 9th. We should be buddies? What are you gonna drink for your diet?
  9. I started my pre op diet today. I'm hungry ugh!!!!! But it's for our new life to begin.
  10. Thanks sabrina. Let's see how it goes I took my 2nd shake now and I'm drinking alot of water and had my snack of sugar free jello.
  11. Hello, I would love some input on pre-op diets. Did you guys have a 2 week liquid/shake diet? Or was is just 1 week or 2-3 days? Can u give me some feedback? Thanks. I start my two week one tomorrow? What did u guys eat?
  12. Thanks for being honest. And your only human. I'm going in on may 9th. Aahhhh nervous
  13. I'm so sorry to hear about your loss.. But this comment is very inappropriate. Especially someone who is already nervous about surgery. Maybe get doc wasn't a good doc. Don't know your reasons but this was not a good comment.
  14. I totally agree with you. Omg! I read and read and read, and still feel like I'm going to fail. But I've read good and bad but u have to listen to your heart and body. The mind is tricky but think strong. Today my hubby bought McDonald's for Breakfast. I smelled it smelled so good. All I got was a snack size parfait to eat for a snack later today, but I'm trying to control it now before my pre-op next week. Good luck to u! Keep us posted. Two years of reading should guide u on your journey for Monday!
  15. Congrats pretty in ink, Hope my goes as smooth I'm on 5/9. Someone said if you had kids it should be a piece of cake. Well I hope so! Lol Let us know how ur doing speedy recovery to u
  16. Have you heard of the lap band and gastric plication. Ask your surgeon! There's a thread about it here on the forums. The plication is when they fold ur stomach and use stitches and then they do the lap band too. I'm thinking if I should do that or just the band. I need to recover quickly I have kids to take care of.
  17. I feel that's gonna be hard. But I'm so happy I see a lot of you wonderful women being strong. Makes me motivated. I'm going in on may 9th....
  18. Mzflanningham, I'm going in on may 9th. Maybe we should be buddies to track our progress, I need friends that will have the thing I'm going thru! Congrats... When they said to do the ore-op diet did they give u a menu or do u know what your suppose to eat?
  19. Thank you band ready. I will make it positive approach to my new life.
  20. I think you should call them. I was like u I never would receive a call and I just called them. My doctors office is always busy probably yours too.
