  1. Very true...I go to gym 5 days a week. My husband said I have chicken legs... But arms are terrible!!! Any suggestions.
  2. Thanks everyone was feeling alone in this slow process.
  3. I am down 75 since I started but hit summer and stopped....HELP!!!
  4. No problem with eggs. I do usually add a slice of cheese for more protein.
  5. Down 64 total. 24 since surgery 12/4. My best tip is exercise. I only look at Pinterest if I am riding stationary bike. It works and u stay on longer!
  6. I have not had a fill yet (1/21) but my Dr said that he puts a pillow under the middle of the back and this make the port come closer to the surface of skin. But assured me that its not painful. Please let us know. Thanks and Good Luck!
  7. Future MrsH that comic was funny as heck.....sometimes i do feel like that. On other news I hit a total of 50 lbs today. Since going to Dr. Only down 7 since banding on 12-4. I dont go for a fill till 1-21. i am hungry pretty often I think. Any thoughts? Hope everyone is doing by now.....
  8. I would love one, however I am in NJ. If you are ever in the area??? Contact me,...
  9. I dont want to sound harsh. But you have to do what is right for you. You look pretty young and I just wish I had done this 20 years ago and would have had more energy for my kids. They are now grown. So keep up the good work!!!
  10. Me too. No weight loss since banded on 12/4 but i was told to expect that????
  11. I am two weeks out also. 3 on Tuesday. I find that sugar free jello works also. Good luck.
  12. The all liquid 2 weeks prior were only a prelude to what you have to do when you get home. I think it makes it easier. it may not seem so now.....I had mine band done on 12-4 and now feel almost normal.. Good luck to all.
  13. I too was December 4th. yesterday i made my way to the dr on my own. it was fine considering its 45 minutes from my house and then 45 back. the liquids are alot and i have to get 85 protien,,,any suggestions????????
  14. I was banded 12-4 and can not stand the pain elixir has anyone tried Tylenol or something? I am a week out and pretty good but I am used to taking pm at night. Any thoughts???
  15. 12/4 was my date. Sitting home. Thanks for the posts!
  16. I was also banded 12/4...I have to do clears one more day. What I think helped was the surgeon has you go on all liquids 2 weeks prior. Good luck to everyone.
