I bought kool-aid packets what ever flavor you like, then instead of adding 1cup of sugar I add 1/2 cup of truvia. Its wonderful, and u cant tell its not sugar, no after taste like splenda. I also make sugar free lipton tea, then just add 2 packets of truvia to my cup of tea and stir. Delicious!!! I was addicted to regular coke, about 5-6 a day, havent had one since july. Try truvia its all natural, not artificial. Use in place of sugar in recipes!!

Dawn, you look like a total different person. That is wonderful, you did a marvelous job with your journey!!!

Tracyw2, how are you doing since your surgery, how much have you lost since your surgery? How often did you get fills?

Ev1988, 80lbs in 10 mos is great!!! Congrads, your doing something right. How often did you get fills??

Threekidsmom, how are you doing after surgery??

ev1988 how much have you lost since Feb? I had my surgery Sept 19th, ive lost 13lbs since then and 60lbs all together since April 4th. I did weight watchers on line from April-Aug. and lost 40lbs. The rest js from preop diet and then surgery. I see Dr Roscheibt at the MtVernon office. I get my 1st fill Nov 7th, a little nervous about that. I dont have any trouble eating anything now. But I probably will after fill.

ev1988, did you go to the chaimpaigne office or where?? I live in Southern Il. Where do you live?

Does anyone know how to stop lapband talk from going to my email address. I have about 5000 emails, can anyone help me out????

I am wondering if I will need these surgeries for excess skin after I reach goal??? I weighed 280lbs, so far ive lost 59lbs, and I notice I have a lot of skin already hanging on my upper inner thighs and under my upper arms. I didnt know if any of you were the same weight and had to have it or will the skin shrink up some??

Yes I can see a big difference. You look a lot smaller. This is great, keep up the good work. I have lost 58 lbs and cant really see much difference either, but had to buy one size smaller clothes. Yay for us!!!!

I bought benefiber at walmart, it has no flavor. I mixed it in some oj, couldnt taste it. I went like 2 hours later. Its equate brand.

I bought at Kroger. It was Yummy.

I just bought and tried Brownberry pocket thins flatbread 8 grain with ham salad, delicious. I havent had any trouble yet. Had 1/2 c. ham salad made with greek yogurt instead of mayo. Yummy!!!

Do u still have 18 & 20 jeans and kahkis to get rid of???

Sounds great. I will have to save recipe for when I have fills and have to be on liquids again.

Thanks, I will try the whole wheat thin sliced bagels. Sounds great!!!

Thank you all for the great ideas. I will have to try these. I dont have sandwich very often, but it would be nice with ham or tuna salad.

Is there any kind of bread or flat bread or pita or something to use for a sandwich that is lapband friendly or dont dough up???

Congrads on the weight loss, I can really tell a difference. Wonderful!!!

Sorry I'm just now answering but I had trouble viewing my posts. I am doing good. I had some bad burning pain below biggest incision that lasted 1 week. Now it is sore there but better. Thank you all.

Went to my appointment and Dr said that is where he put the port and that it was probably touching some nerves. He said it would eventually burn itself out. Pain is a lot better today still sore though. He also said I may have a reoccurance with the first couple fills or if I aggregate it. But it is better.
