You should call ur doc. Sent from my mobile productivity killer.

You should call marsdens office in Denton, not the true results office. Marsden does surgery at Baylor trophy club as well, this is a bcbs center of excellence.

You have gone an excellent job, keep up the great work!! We put so much focus on our sleeve and nutrition and exercise, etc that it really becomes a big part of who we are. Because of this, I think we over analyse every aspect of it at times. You are beautiful, I guarantee people notice and just assume its not a topic you wish to discuss. Take a look around and you will find other people are upset because others are asking about their weight loss. Keep up the great work. Sent from my mobile productivity killer.

Blenderized cauliflower with a wedge of laughing cow was a staple in my puree stage. Was yummy. OP- I got my taste buds and hunger back around the same time that you seem to be. I found that increasing Water, scheduled eating and variety really helped me from going full bore on an unhealthy meal. When I just couldn't get something out if my head, I got creative. Good luck on ur journey. Sent from my mobile productivity killer.

I bought some 5oz paper Dixie cups. This allows me to measure and eat from the same cup, then toss it. Sent from my mobile productivity killer.

Heck yea, that's one little bit of progress that really makes a lot of things easier.

I guess other people see this public forum as a place to provide feedback and support, not just give people rainbows and puppy answers. If moderation was so easy, none of us would need surgery.

Wow, super great job!! Sent from my mobile productivity killer.

OP - almost identical to mine. Sent from my mobile productivity killer.

Moob reduction is a NSV I can't wait to Celebrate Sent from my mobile productivity killer.

I made a promise to myself that I wouldn't eat anything unhealthy/not on my docs nutritional plan until 6mos out. Why that day, what I will eat, no clue. Good luck.. if you decide to have a chocolate malt shake from sonic, please don't let me know Hahaha. Sent from my mobile productivity killer.

Let me first repeat again that Dr Marsden is a great man and surgeon. With that said, switching from marsden to kim only cost me about 3 weeks. I started kim's preop diet, his staff worked on getting my paper work from marsden and all was well. I can tell you, marsden spent almost an hour with me discussing band vs sleeve and at no time did he push one over the other. He simply got me talking about lifestyle, goals, what I was comfortable with etc. Good luck

I went back and forth between Dr. Kim and Dr. Marsden... Marsden - Great guy. Well respected surgeon, especially in the lap band world. Very very friendly and able to help me make a good decision on what was best for me. Call's often required next day call backs. Several promises were not kept by his staff. Only had done a dozen sleeves as of june'ish when i met him. Kim - Not as much of a personable guy. Very well respected sleeve surgeon. Staff was great. Completed over 1,200 sleeves. I chose Dr Kim, but doubt either would be a bad choice.

What did you surgeon say?

A- I love this forum B- I love this thread C- I'm wanting it 24/7/365... my wife is OK with that Sent from my mobile productivity killer.

I only had that problem one time after taking some miralax (sp?). I hadn't taken care of my business in a few to many days, so I mixed the recommended dose in some Water per my doc. I spent the next 24 hrs with a gurgling gut but no progress... The next morning I got off the couch and did the manly celebration of a good fart aka lift leg high and aim it... oops it wasn't just a fart... Did I mention we don't wear clothes in our house? Thank god for hardwood floors... TMI? Sent from my mobile productivity killer.

Yup, its normal. I would have crawled out of the bed as they were wheeling me to the OR, but that darn doc had me drugged up and my limbs didn't work. Sent from my mobile productivity killer.

I had my band resized, so no more worries about losing it. It only cost $35, why not just get it sized a few times along the way? Sent from my mobile productivity killer.

I thought of this thread when I rolled over onto my back this morning and damn near broke the ceiling fan. NSV Sent from my mobile productivity killer.
