Flints tones gummies!- Weak and no energy on preop diet
You need to ^ the protein, take a vitamin and drink more broth! I had that problem, I even wanted to black out in the shower! Don't worry you'll survive!- December 2012 --- Band Buddies Unite!
I was banded on 12/14 and have lost 38 pounds so far. I do get very hungry in the afternoons but I drink plenty of water and keep busy. I also struggle with deciding how much to eat. I make sure I eat only 1/2 cup of food (although I know I could eat lots more!) 3 times a day. I don't get my first fill until 2/11 and keeping mind over hunger! It is sometimes a struggle but I will not let hunger take over again! I also walk a mile 5 times a week! I don't want to sag, I'm 55!- December 2012 --- Band Buddies Unite!
Banded 12/14 down 38. Will get first fill 2/11. Walking 1 mile a day!- TMI?
I can blow up a balloon easily (If I tried!). Especially after exercise!- BRA PROBLEM!!
It's not the straps it's the underside although I have no under wires and it isn't tight. I feel like I have a tight belt around under my breasts all the time even if I'm not wearing a bra!- BRA PROBLEM!!
Is anyone out there having a problem with wearing bras for too many hrs? I am 4 weeks post-op today and cannot stand wearing a bra for too long! I have tried different bras and even with sport bras I have the same problem! Will this go away soon? I have to take the bra off right when I get home!- My biggest regret
Me too! Never Heras of it adjusting it self. Look at the procedure on YouTube! - Pre-surgery: What great things does the future hold?
