  1. Whooooooooooooooot whooooooooooooooooooot to both of you!!!
  2. It depends what you are taking and how much. Can you please give us more info? Also you should talk to the doctor who prescribed your meds before stopping. I take lasix but since losing weight I usually only take on tom.
  3. That is just tooooooooooo freaky!!!
  4. I am just saying. I took one of the New Whey shots to my nutritionist and she advised me not to take them. Also no they would not count as a meal and will do nothing as far as satisfying your hunger. Depending what stage of food you are in when you get to solids that is what you should be eating.
  5. I eat mostly all solids but when I go out to eat with family I usually have soup or something soft. My reasoning is they all eat so fast if I try to keep up I get sick. Also I don't always have a say where we go so I tell them to make sure restaurants have soup options in case they don't have anything else for me. I don't see anything wrong with this and it is not often. I see more and more people advocating solids and it makes me really happy.
  6. Awesome ideas everyone. I love to see people being creative!! I like to use jello sf pudding cups with scoop of powder.
  7. I just measure half cup count protein and that is it.
  8. Don't go by my original post. She replied to this herself read what she said. My opinion if it's a good idea why have none of us ever had it done with our fills?
  9. My advice is to get a heartrate monitor and work on getting your heart rate up during cardio exercises. Best of Luck!
  10. I bought some but I just cant make myself spend the calories on them. I will save for an emergency. What kinds do you all like?
  11. I don't disagree, but water and cracker at same time? Also do you eat crackers right after you are filled?
  12. She told me she was given after the fill then they took the fill out. I think She registered so hopefully she will add to this post.
  13. I know!!!! CRAZY! Plus no solids after fill!!
  14. I met a girl in one of my lapband groups. She went for a fill and they made her drink water then eat a cracker! She told the nurse it felt kind of stuck so they did not give her a fill. She really needs a fill. Any comments? Thanks,
  15. I am sorry but I really cannot believe you have to ask this question CALL DOCTOR!!!!
  16. Sometimes I have to add a snack in the eve. This is a good time for a yogurt or eveba sf pudding. You can even add protein mix If you want. Also drink.
  17. If you are vomiting often you really should have already called your doctor. It is not normal whatever you eat.
  18. Did your doctor give you a guideline to use when picking a shake? Mine was included in my surgery info.
  19. I never had problems with any of my meds or vitamins from the beginning. I just took one pill at a time and waited a few minutes in between. To this day I take all my pills at once. Unfortunately it's a lot.
  20. The best tip I can give you is water. It will help wash the toxins away. Plain old water and lots of it. Try tylenol for the headache .
  21. I do not eat oatmeal. It does not have enough protein.i have to eat a good amount of protein in every meal to reach my goal. And when I say eat I mean solids.
  22. The first thing I had to do when I got back on track was let go of the guilt and the shame. All my energy is now on the present and the future. You can't change the past and what ifs never really matter.
  23. Hmmmmm where did I hear that want power again?? lol I just wanted to add that I have lost 92.2 lbs so far. Almost 50 of that is since end of October. This is the first time ever in my life that I know I am going to go all the way!
  24. i just measure by volume only. i eat 3 half cup meals and sometimes a snack. friend me in fb and ill put you in the group. hely lb
