  5. A specialist once told me we should try to wear sports bras as much as possible and just keep the fancy ones fir going out. Much better for stopping the droop
  6. My Dr said anytime before meal , not during and only need to wait 15 mins after. I do my best but occasionally have to drink during.
  7. Michelle Bridges has some great healthy eating cookbooks with great breakfast , lunch and dinner ideas. Not sure of the name but preview it in iBooks
  8. Well I'm here in Australia and it got to 41 Celsius yesterday 106 Fahrenheit . I can't imagine it being that cold !!

  10. The whole reason for the band is to give you help. You need to work with your band.. get Fills and go to the Gym otherwise there was no point. Maybe hubby is feeling a bit insecure so isnt as encouraging as you would like.
  11. Don't worry it's really not bad I can hardly feel it. I don't look and it's over before you know it
  12. I have had 2 c sections and this surgery was a walk in the park . Take your meds if you need them but I was pretty muck ok thru the day just took at night to make me sleep well. Rest for a couple of days and you should be fine
  13. You don't have to be young to enjoy a drink. I have a few wines very week. Sure the loss is a bit slower but I'm still losing
  14. My BMI was 30 and I just called them direct. Didnt need a super withdrawal as went private but other places wouldn't even see me with that BMI

  16. I saw Dr Draper at Peninsula Private he now also consults at Richmond. I was a very low BMI and didn't think I would be approved for LB but he did and had been great at all appts.
  17. My Dr said its really common to have a hernia repair at the same time the band is put in. I have also read lots of others on the forums have also
  18. my dr said I only need to do liquids if uncomfortable after a fill. so far not an issue. I am careful but no problems last time with food
  19. I have had 2 fills first one 5cc then 2 cc same thing after a week hungry too soon. I have read here tho it can take a while and each of us different so hoping my next one does the trick for a bit longer at least
  20. hi skuzzie where u from you sound lik an Aussie like me I have has a few US guests staying with us so getting used to the lingo. jello is jelly there is also drinking yogurt and I did vitamise some home made veg soup which was great for a change. added some tomatoes and chile to give it a bit of zing.
