I hear ya. I'm trying to make my new hobbies when stressed walking, praying, reading bible, reading the forum, etc. Its a hard habit to break. How did u almost set ur house on fire?

I've never tried lose it but I hear a lot of people say they love it. Maybe I'll have to look at it,

My doctor told me yes, I could use those. But the other poster is right that they don't give as much protein. I only use them occasionally when I want a change

I liked Bariatric Fusion in chocolate mouse flavor the best.

I don't taste a flavor I guess, but I detect a grittiness sometimes. It doesn't bother me in soup or my Gatorade so far, but I hated it in my cream of wheat for some reason. That's all I've tried it with so far.

That's a cute nickname. I friend requested u on there.

17 pounds is good! That's 17 lbs u never have to carry around again My first fill is October 23rd. Hoping it will help with the hunger. I think I will be a lot better once I get back to work too because I really bust my butt there and think it will help with weight loss

It sounds like u guys are into S&M....lol Whatever floats ur boat!

Why did it edit out "H.M.O"......lol?

What I did was contact the insurance coordinator of the surgeon who I wanted to do my Lapband. She took it from there as far as finding out if I was covered an what all I needed to do to be approved. She already knew simce thats what sje does all day long. They guided me every step of the way on what I had to do. I was BUSY the whole 6 months with test after test. My insurance was high mark blue cross blue shield ***. Don't know if that's the same as you, but they approved me right away

Thanks Dennis

You got this. It's gonna be over so quick, and then on to ur journey When u wake up, walk!

Yeah I know what u mean. I barely drank anything the first week. My mom was on my ass the whole time!! It worked itself out day by day. Watch, next week you'll be complaining ur starving!

Hmmm.... But Dennis's sounds so much prettier. Decisions, decisions

Well that's good u can admit u messed up and are gonna restart. You're not the first one to screw up and you won't be the last We are changing years and years of bad habits and were gonna stumble along the way. It's hard, I know. But possible as u can see from the success stories

No I also lost 31 lbs on the preop diet. How about u?

I'm 3 weeks post op and I've only lost 14 lbs. I've been stuck at same weight about a week. I get jealous of the others too.

I had a tough time sleeping for the first week because I hate sleeping on my back. I used a recliner and worked much better. Did u try gas ex?

No I don't get them in my inbox here, but I did get a similar email. This poor girl was in Nigeria and her wealthy father was murdered! However she couldn't access any of his money unless I helped her, and she was in danger staying there! I sent her money via western union at once.

I had 5 incisions. They're healing nicely though and I don't think they'll look so bad in the end.
