If you find yourself accidentally pregnant and puking on the side of the road, what do you drink to settle your stomach?

1. I've been consistently doing cardio since my surgery on 12/17. Now it's time to add strength training and I have no idea what to do. Suggestions?! 2. I recently watched Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead and it's got me interested in juicing. I was thinking about doing a juice fast. Has anyone tried this?

I know I'm just a baby in the lap banding world, but I had to share. I had surgery on 12/17/12. Since then I've lost 42 lbs including the pre-op diet. I've been taking monthly pics and measurements so I can see a difference. I took a photo last night and was amazed (and may have cried a little) at the difference. This is seriously the best thing I've ever done for myself.

Congrats sweetie! All that hard work is paying off. Go you!!

Last night I went roller skating. (That in itself is an Nsv) some friends wanted pictures for Facebook. When I looked at the pics, my first response was "Holy crap! When did I get a normal-sized face?!" I now have a visible neck and a slimmer face! I love this band!!

How much of each?

kriscakes7 is my username. Feel free to add me. I was banded on 12/17!

I've been living in yoga pants. I'm super tired and still having a lot of stubborn gas pain but need to drink more water. I'm having trouble wanting any food or drink at all, but weight is falling off!

Congrats Desotogirl!

Day 5 post-op...seriously wish these gas pains would go away!! And holy crap we use our abs to do everything!!!

This is only day 4. Thank you for the suggestions!

I'm having difficulty eating enough because I have no appetite at all!! I'm only getting 250-600 calories a day and have had so much gas pan! I've been walking around a lot and taking gas-x strips and taking my pain meds as needed. How are people getting in their calories with no appetite?

Thank you guys I appreciate it!

Surgery went really well. Gas pains are really bad but I've been doing everything I can.been up walking every hour, gas x strips, water, and a heating pad. Any other suggestions?

Today's the day!!

Leaving for the surgery center now! Super excited!!!

My surgeon and NUT requested that I use liquid vitamins.

Does anyone have any recommendations on liquid vitamins that taste good?

Wow you look great! What's been your secret?

Congratulations!!

I bought mine at a local supplement store, but it's not a chain.

I'm banded on the 17th too! I'm so excited! Lets keep in touch!

Lol Banjo!

I mix 1 scoop Syntrax Nectar Roadside Lemonade with one packet of Crystal light lemonade on the go and 1 cup of water. Tastes very refreshing! I bet even better with blended ice.
