Best wishes and Keep the Faith. A new YOU will be starting very soon. Hugs

We are not going to agree on everything we read here on this forum. We must keep thick skin at all times. The Sticks n Stones comes to mind. You have a choice to turn them to admin or block them from your site. Ignore the harsh, mean and nasty. Savor the compliments, success and the good health comments. Best wishes

I started at 49.49 on Aug 6 and now I'm 38.86 in this short time frame. Best wishes

Get another doctor's opinion. Google a support group on thyroid conditions. I'm sure the band didn't cause this. Best wishes

Maybe they will give you a prescription for liquid vicodin. If you get one, please fill it as a precaution. Tylenol is not strong enough.

carry some ready to drink Protein shakes , at least 2 per day. You can always have soup. Carry some Crystal lights with you for flavored drinks. Best wishes

Prayers and Best Wishes. Soon you will be on the "other side".

Near Santa Barbara its down to $3.55 for unleaded regular. Lowest price its been in a long time.

Congratulations Beautiful! You've done a great job and its for YOU. Pretty soon, you will here, Hey Skinny you're looking good! Hugs, Best Wishes and Keep the Faith

You can do this. Remember, this is for YOU! A quality of life and better health. Stay on course. Best wishes

About 5 weeks for me. Try and get all your appointments out ASAP. Sometimes the tests get spaced out. Your insurance maybe fast, so if you're ready the surgery date is close. Best wishes

I stuck all my steamed vegtables in my blender added chicken soup to it and it was yummy 3 times a week. Then I did the same with blended beef and beef soup. As long as its not chucky you should be able to have it. Just watch the carbs and calories in what you put in the blender.

The pre-op because I started mine in June 18. My band date is Aug 6, so I was on the pre-op for over 2 months. Lots of will power helped me succeed.

At work I carry my water bottle to all meetings and sip all day long. I do all the Crystal Light flavors during the week.

Looks like you two won't be eating chip n dips when the bowl games start. You will be healing and on liquids. Best wishes and Keep the Faith.

Are you laying down on your back and looking down towards belly button. If Yes, the port is on the right side. This was an "oldie" here before.

Maybe Oprah and Kristie Alley should include a backup plan in their dieting.

Congratulations! Keep it up!

Prayer's and lots of Hugs. You will do fine and be a new skinny YOU, in the future. Best wishes and Keep the Faith.

See your dietitian for advice which you already know about. Have someone face you and reassure what you should be eating. Sometimes a wake-up call is in order. As stated already, get rid of all slider foods, donate it to friends, neighbors, parents. It has no place in your house. Have nonfat greek yogurt, low fat/nonfat milk, crystal light flavors, low cal apple sauce, SF popsicles, SF jellos and lots of good Soups to eat rather than heavy junk foods. Go back to basics and please start over! Best wishes

Congratulations!. Means you'll probably have to fast during Christmas season. I started 2 months early from band date to lose 34 pounds prior to band day. For the doctors fast, I was suppose to lose 12 pounds and I lost 20 pounds prior to surgery. Just yesterday (Dec 11) I had my third fill of 1cc.I had to beg for this fill because i met his 2 pounds per week poal. I probably won't get any more fills. He's very conservative docotr. He wants you to attack your weight problem and not rely on the band. He says 2 pounds a week is great. If you lose lots more, NO fills. Best wishes

1 Costco Premier protein shake, 30g protein, 160 calories at 5am lat me until 9am. Then a small amout of Nonfat Greek plain yogurt with Stevia sweetner and holds me until lunch time.

Since I'm not a big egg eater I can't be helpful. On the couple of times I ate egg, it was scrambled.

Congratulations Liz. The doctor can scan you and will know if the band has slipped. Best wishes

Congratulations! Try and get all items out of the way. Don't have your insurance company in a holding pattern. Ask the doctor/ dietitian your questions or as here. Best wishes
