Yes, meat, fish, eggs. All the food you're eating is more like slider food. Aren't you allowed solid foods yet?

I weigh my meat and measure everything else. Don't know if that's right, but so far it's working.

It will all work out girlfriend!

I had the same thing with bandages. They actually burned into my skin. It's ok to go without bandages, but leave the steri-strips in place. I was told to wash and dry well, but not to put anything on it. As soon as bandages came off, they got better. Good Luck!

You're ok, it's better to ask questions than going in blind.

Well you have us!

Tell you when I get there! My Dr said on average it takes between 4 cc- 7.5cc. I drink Chai tea and SF hot chocolate to get between meals and also have cleaned every closet, dresser, painted laundry room, clean cabinets anything to keep busy enough to not watch the clock. Best Wishes

Who you calling ugly??LOL Banded Oct 15 and very satisfied with the band. Everyone gave you great advice and I hope you take it. It's not an easy fix (like some think) It takes work. Like AJ said, do your homework, read everything about the band, hang out here and learn from the successes and also the failures. I spent 7mths here before banding and I'm very thankful I did. I owe a lot to the peeps of LBT.Com! Best Wishes! Keep us posted

Just an after thought I was really happy that I had to go through all this testing because it gave me time to learn all I could about LBS and I believe it put me in a better position to succeed. Thanks to everyone on LBT.Com I had the best on-line education!

That's what I did. I contacted my insurance company and they sent me the criteria for what my weight, health issues and testing I had to do. My Bariatric office also got that from my insurance company. So insurance Company approved my going forward and then all the paperwork was sent in for final approval and my insurance company paid for all the testing.

Polly, what happen? I changed my picture and it worked.

You're in "Bandster Hell" right now. Gotta keep to that one cup servings until you get enough restriction and that could take a few fills to accomplish. CG is right and you need to eat more protein to keep you full. Right now veggies won't do it. I had my first fill 2wks ago and I'm right where you are. We can do this! I have the want to, do you?

That's where you talk with the bariatric surgeons office and let them tell you if you qualify. My ppl told me, no problem. Best Wishes!

ah oh, you're gone! Come back,come back, where ever you are

Did you go all the way to bottom of page where it says "save changes"?

Well it was my insurance company that made me jump through hoops. The insurance company lets you know if you qualify with your BMI and/or health issues and then final qualifying if you follow their testing.

Thought you went commando?! Hope new ones are sexy!

LB & hernia repair at same time, both done by bariatric surgeon. Band stitched to stomach.

Very excited for you! Glad you found the perfect pair.

Congratulations! Going to be a great 2013 for you!

You could also add some diced ham to that omelet

Gorton's makes an excellent Grilled Tilapia that cooks in the microwave in under 1min, I believe it was 11gr & 70 cal. I put some cocktail sauce and it is good. I get frozen shrimp in freezer section 30-35 shrimp for 16.00, it's expensive, but it will last awhile. Think I'd have to go with a cheese omelet for breakfast, don't think tuna would go down to well for me.lol 2 eggs take out 1 yoke add cheese and 15gr. right there

Sorry you're not doing well, but it will pass . This is the "WTH did I do to myself" stage. Walk as much as possible, keep up with pain meds and sip sip sip . Congratulations Bandster!
