Well i've already had blood work done this week...not anemic.. But i did take 2 b complex vitamins and already feeling a bit better then i was ... I no longer feel like i'm going to fall straight on my face.

Join myfitnesspal.com. You can do this on your computer or on your phone. I love it on my phone do I can quickly add what I just ate. Oh and it has a bar code scanner. I love scanning my snacks and not having to enter all the information! But it helps me keep track of what I'm eating. How many calories I'm taking in and how much protein I'm eating. It's a wonderful little app/website!

I have three kids. No rest for the wicked lol. I dunno I'm just tired of being tired! I will pick up some more b 12 vitamins and see if that will help.

Protein drinks will help to get your protein up. Ask your nutritionist/doctor if he would recommend high protein foods for you. My nutritionist suggested new direction soups, proti15 drinks and soy snacks. Yours may ask that you eat something else.

As far as I can tell u can order it from your doc mine had a website I go to to order from. Www.owlo.com. Then go to online store. The log in is owlo and the password is owlo. They ship to ur house.

Im hoping to get more recipes on here

What i di was join a 24 hour gym. I talked to a personalntrainer got some tips and grabbed a buddy. I work late shift 4pm -12 am. So i go to gym after work and its just me and my girl friend. Not sure what hours you are able togo but it just an idea.

I know im a long ways from having a TT/lower body lift. Im looking into good surgeons in this area. It took me two years to do enough research on my doctor and a few others before i had my lapband. I guess i like to be well informed.. i considered mexico as an option but would definately want referals fro people who have actually had surgery from that doctor. With three kids and unmarried i will probably have to save the next twoyears to get this done . Thanks for your input!

I have blue cross blue shield. My work pays for my insurance. I was approved bc I'm morbidly obese. I pay 10% my insurance is paying 90%. I work at Riverwind casino. My doctor is Ronnie Kieth. I was banded on 12/30/2011

Im in norman but i have 18 to 20. Im still holding on to my 16s preparing for when i can fit into them!

Count yourself lucky some of us had to do just liquids for two weeks before.

If u stick to liquid diet yes . But do the preop diet your doctor gave u.

Try new direction soups..full of protein and liquid..cottege cheese my be too rough on your tummy..

Well none of us are perfect banders..we have all cheated once twice or more..its just what you do after u cheat. Try to stay on track. When u fall off ask for help.i told my bf if i tried to cheat to remind me why im doing this. Its hard for meto pass upntemptation unless i am 1.extremely motivated or 2 i have help. I cheated on mypreop bc well i wanted something i knew id have to give up. It was only one day. And i drank pepsi and ate mexican food. Then went back to my liquid diet.. Now that i look back on it the taste are a fading memory. Do i miss soda yup, but ive read too many horror stories of foaming it up that i dont want to try it. Plus its just empty calories... But i found a pic of me im about 190lbs in the pic and i look damn good. I carry that in my purse, when i want to cheat i pull it out and say. "This is what you are working towards...to be healthy and good looking, to have self confidence again. Don't screw it up and cheat..the moment will pass." I try to find a satisfying Protein snack. So i hope this helps. There is still hope for you...at least you feel guilty about it. Lol

Congrats to all o u! I still have 50 lbs before i can say that!

I keep seeing all these ads on lbt forums. Thought id ask if anyone has actually ordered a dream number bed or sleep number bed...after being bored a while and thinking how much mybed sucks...i might purchase one. But i wanted real reviews. I noticed that i have a huge indent in my bed from the years of owning the bed....and being overweight and not moving much whileni sleep.

I have a pillow top an was told not to flip but to turn it.....so ye...another reason for a new bed.

Maybe your stomach isnt healed enough or youare reaching you fullness..eiher way i would pick with one or the other. Go slow. You shouldnt be getting sick .

Double post

So far so good.. just sore and learning my limits. Though since ive started semi solids i havent had any weight loss. Butbit will come in time .

Im on mushie/semi solids...im eating tuna fish . Scrambbled eggs, string cheese chewed really well. Yogurt. Soy snacks that practiclly melt in your mouth .

I'm on here now as well...feel free to add me. Bluetattoo83

Well part of the reason im still sore is from getting hit in the stomach with a chair at work by accident. I went back to work after 10 days. My job is easy but rquires stretching , reaching, and my tummy hits the poker table a lot bc i have to reach....im too darn short! But i did eat too much lastnight, i didnt get sick but i felt miserable and belched alot! I laid down on my left side held my pillow for a couple hours beore i felt somewhat normal again....vowed not to eat too much again... guess we all learn thehard way.
