Best wishes and Keep the faith.

I use Costco Premier Protein shakes and they taste great.

Best wishes on your band date. You will do good and start getting your health in good order again. Remember you are trying to improve your health and quality of life. Keep the faith.

Best wishes and good luck with your weight loss.

Remember BMI is just a tool and not perfect. A body builder thats 6ft and 220 pounds is considered overweight. But he has a low percentage of body fat because he works out and has lots of muscles which weigh alot.

Be strong, get back on track for you and your health, and keep the faith.

my dietitian and my surgeon flat say no to any carbonated drinks. My dietitian says No to caffeine.

First fill (1.5cc) was Sept 28 and it didnt bother me.

Im not diabetic, but I'm colder, lower BP and my body temperature of 99.2 is now 98.2. Ive lost 50 pounds.

about a week for me after band date of Aug 6.

very nice info from all.

It wont hurt at all. Over in 10 seconds. For me was harder to park my car than to see the surgeon than do my first fill on Sept 18. I got 1.5cc of saline. Second fill scheduled for Oct 30.

slow and steady works. It also teaches us how to eat better.

Just ordered a Healthometer weight scale 402LB from amazon.com.

Best wishes and Be Positive. All will be okay.

My original stomach before band was a stretched pouch!

I didn't feel anything on Sept 18, the first fill of 1.5cc.

My surgeon did my first fill on Sept 18 of 1.5cc and didn't say anything about eating a certain way. I did liquids the day of just to be safe and now I'm on soups for today.

I had my first fill of 1.5cc on Sept 18 and I haven't felt anything so far.

I had light tomato soup and a protein shake first fill day, Sept 18. Today I will eat soup again and stay light.

good writing!

Get questions to ask your surgeon.Length of stay in hospital, how many types of surgery he/she done,lapband versus bypass results, how many visits in post op are included in the original cost. Some insurance cover all fills for a year if on lapband. Take a pen,pecil, notepad and TURN your cellphone to vibrate or OFF.

my first fill was today for 1.5cc. There was 1.5cc put in during lapband day Aug 6.

I get weighed everytime I see my doctors, even my family doctor. Remember its your weight gain and nobodys else. Get back on track and count carbs. SIP lots of water 1 hour before eating.

You can do it! A mistake that can be corrected instantly! Get back to the proper way of eating and remember its for you. Be Positive.
