It's a medical tag made for athletes. You can have it as a bracelet, shoe tag or necklace I think. I got it originally for my son who was training for a tri. Sending him out on a long ride alone was scary. If he had an accident no one would know who he was. RoadId.com

You will do great!

I'm from Stockton. Was banded 10/5/12. Seems I'm all lone

Hello! I'm from Stockton. Banded 10/5/12 at Modesto memorial by dr Coirin.

I don't agree with MellissaW, he doesn't need to know and you don't need to explain yourself to anyone. Be your own judge and jury, hold your own court. Ask for others opinions when you want it. It is not important for your success to have everyone agree with you or anyone for that matter. It's nice, but not necessary. My husband and the two children still at home are the only ones who know about my surgery. I didn't feel like hearing it from anyone else. Frankly because I don't care about other ppls opinions and I only need positive people around me right now (banded 10/5) Sad thing is my mom could be of use to me post op but I just can't deal with the drama right now. I'm too busy finally taking care of me! Brush it off, it won't be the last time you are disappointed. Big hug if encouragement from me, I understand!

Can you check the name for me again. I cant find them anywhere. NEATER?

First few days of preop is horrible. Then it kinda fell into place. I had 1 egg and two slices of banana for bfas. shake mid morning. 2oz chicken and 2oz veggie for lunch . Shake for mid eve. And dinner was same as lunch with 2 oz fruit too. About 800 cal. I ate my egg slowly, then would get to work and have my banana slowly. I would do this with the rest of the food too. I found breaking it up made it easier. Also on day 6 I was still really hungry so I added 2 more slices of banana or apple here and the. It beats eating a pizza. End result: 12 lbs lost in 2 weeks

I'm not offended! I like what you post!

Hummus! Is Peanut Butter ok? I thought it wasn't.

Awesome! Congrats!

Random kudos right back at ya!

I know for me sometimes my page on my iPad doesn't refresh before I post and realize it was just said. Good luck to you!

Would there be something wrong with taking a glycerin suppository? How long have you been banded? What food phase are you on? I had that prob first week ad I used a suppository twice. Yesterday I stared the purée phase and the FIRST thing I puréed was zucchini. ( spinach or carrots work too) that helped tremendously. Also hot herbal tea is good, there are certain ones that promote healthy BM.

Wow! Really? You can't see the difference? You look amazing! Keep up the good work. You can tell just in your smile and body language that there is something different, not to mention you're smaller. Way to go!
