i will look it this, cause my lunch box is from the 80's and doesn't do that, freeze....lol it's time to invest in good equipment for the journey. i am just not used to this life change and everything that comes along with it. i thought i was though, but living it is totally different than thinking it or dreaming it. i've lost way too much time... not anymore!!!! thanks for your insight Ms Chez! have a great weekend

Yes you are lucky!!!! Thanks for sharing, the article is probably true I will keep in mind. Thank God I don't feel dizzy or weak!

oh no, don't give up. there was bound to be a bad day in between your journey to success...you are worth it!!! call them and i too suggest that they bill under your surgeons name after all they probably apporate with his/her licsense? maybe? good luck

hey, you are doing great! the numbers don't lie, plus how you feel is what counts good luck to you.

not mine i can see yours

i am an LVN, i work in a dialysis clinic. i also do call through the same clinic with the hospital every other week for hemo tx there. who else has trouble finding time for meals? good luck to all!!!

i took 2 weeks nd was hoping for a 3rd but didn't happen i say take as much time besides the healing, fatigue there is also the adjustment to eating the "right " way and planning your meals changeing your wy of thinking about taking time for yourself too. as nurses we care for others before we do dilly squat for ourselves, it's in our blood.... good luck!

don't know if it's restriction yet. yesterday i had my 2nd fill on my band. total of 7ml on my 14ml band. so far i have no complaints. my doctor said that i have cut my excess fat by 47% and still ahead of the game. so happy to hear that. i dont know if i am gettting closer to the green zone. it's difficult for me cause i dont have a designated time for my meals. does anyone else have trouble finding time to eat?

I was 226lbs wearing size 20-22 jeans, I'm 5'3" now I'm 190lb can fit into a tight 14-hey it zips up

I have an AP lapband which holds 14cc my dr gave me 5cc in surgery day and yesterday I had a 1cc fill total since Oct 19,2012 6cc in my 14cc band. Feeling okay. Like in between green an yellow zone but maybe more green! I'm content for now.

That's great news!!! Congratulations!!! We are on our way, and what a way to go!!!!

ooohh, you are too sweet....sending you a huge cyber hug sister!!!!

that is so cool!!! yes definetly, healing is the one priorty after surgery. i think i healed good cause i haven't had heartburn, PB, or much pain. i did have jitters yesterday, so my stick of string cheese felt stuck while i was at the doctors visit, good grief...but that's it. i guess i was kinda nervously excited about my first fill day!!!! best of luck to you too and happy thanksgiving!

i most certainly was. the doctor didnt tell me but on the day of surgery he filled me with 5cc on my 14cc band. i am guessing this is why. so any questions call your doctor and see what is happening. as for me i stuck it out with following the liquid diet without any complications or death, lol, that was kinda a joke...okay here is another one....i would tell people at work when they would ask, "is that all you are eating---drinking Protein shakes and Water?" i would say yes, cause my doctor said that i already ate enough food for all my life and that now i need to drink lots of Fluid for the rest of my life. i thought it was funny but thinking that i was going to do it for the rest of my life made the 2 weeks go by faster!!! to me humor helps, hope it helps you too

thank you Maddysgram, i know that was kinda crazy, "eat more" :0 i'm like suuuurrreeee! you too florida princess

i think i had a "stuck" yesterday, of all days the first fill post surgery. it just felt like something was just stuck there in my throat and stomache entrance, hahaha. but i am so glad that i havent had a PB, i would probably be saying YUCK!YUCK! too.

you should be so proud of yourself. don't give up the journey you have started does have it's ups and downs but beleive me it will all be worth it. because you are worth it, your health is worth it, and your family is worth you winning this battle!!! stay focus, stay strong, and stay in touch with this community it's so awesome!!!
