  1. I'm from Stockton! Banded 10/5 Surgery is tomorrow right?
  2. Shelly, she's only two weeks out. Meals may not even be an option for her.
  3. My goodness, you poor thing. These are things that your surgeon should have told you OR should have directed you too a a nutritionist to help you. This is the first that I have ever seen where someone didn't know what to do post op. do you have some booklets to go through that maybe you missed? The post op diet should NOT be a mystery. Your correct healing depends on this period and what you eat! I would take all of your questions and direct them to the person who is supposed to be working for you. On a side note, I was only eating 400-500 cal during this time so it is normal. Watch out for sugar content on the shakes too. Keep us posted on what or doc says!
  4. That's a bummer! Well keep us posted when you do get your approval !
  5. I'll add to all of the above. Calm down and settle in, you're in it for the long haul. Get out of your own way and let the band to its job!
  6. Yaaaayyyyy! That's awesome! So proud of you! Xoxoxo
  7. Awe, you don't have any haters! High strung good intenders maybe but no haters...can't believe it!
  8. Did you get denied or just not gonna approve in time?
  9. The app for the iPhone says the same thing. I can access it from my iPad though...???
  10. A pound of fat weighs the same as a pound of muscle. However, the fat takes up more space. So if you are noticing a difference in your clothes enjoy. Weight is a result not a goal. Having said that, unless you are body building your body will drop fat quick once it stabilizes. Are you jogging at all? That usually shakes things up!
  11. I was banded 10/5. I have lost 37!
