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

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.

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

Well I'm here in Australia and it got to 41 Celsius yesterday 106 Fahrenheit . I can't imagine it being that cold !!

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.

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

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

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

Dr draper did the surgery

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

It's no excuse but sometimes men can't cope with the fact we are unwell or not 100 %. I guess often its cause we just soldier on. Try talking to him and tell him you need more help

I just had my second fill 5ccs the first and 2ccs the second and i didn't feel a thing the second time

Wow 2 years and no meat I couldn't cope I'm 2 months in and can eat a med rare eye fillet (only 1/2) no problems as long as I chew lots . My jaw gets a bit tired tho

I just had a stuck episode for the first time yesterday and it was exactly the same feeling I had before being banded when eating Tuna and brown rice too quickly. I can only assume that was a symptom of the hernia the found during my Op. I never realised so now it's back to chew chew chew. I just got distracted yesterday. It was very uncomfortable but went away after a shirt time.

It seems lots of us have a Hernia repaired during surgery. I didn't even know I had a problem

I am struggling with not been able to drink anything during meals anyone else having the same problem?

Try a coffee no fat milk shake with a small amount if low fat yogurt or ice cream. Trust me it gets better you just need to hang in there for a short time.

Is it just a burp or does food come up. I burp often but nothing comes up

Well done to you "young ones" for taking control so early too many of us waited for whatever reason and suffered longer than we needed to.

Yes the darker the color means dehydrated.
