  1. Hi everybody. I am a 2nd grade teacher and desperately need lunch ideas. I need something quick as I only have about 15 minutes to sit and eat. I have a microwave in my room that I can use. And I can snack if I get hungry. Typically I take a sandwich or grab something from the lunchroom (when it looks good and i can tell what it is!). But, after surgery, I can't eat sandwiches anymore. I'm not good with wraps either. They get stuck. Any ideas?????
  2. Hey Everybody. For those already banded, how long before your first fill? I got my band on January 18 and I don't get my first fill until February 28. I am frustrated cause I can eat whatever I want. I have almost gained all the weight I initially lost!!! I'm pretty depressed about it.
  3. Hey. I was banded last Friday. What are some clear liquids you guys are eating?
  4. Hey guys. My stomach feels like I have done about 1 million situps.
  5. Going in the morning at 6:30. I am starting to get nervous. I hope this doesn't hurt too much!
  6. Surgery on Friday. I am getting kinda nervous....What is this is an epic fail???
  7. @mzmel - I am paying for mine out of pocket too. I am borrowing from a 401K. I figure if I don't lose this weight I wont make it to retirement anyway.
  8. Thanks everybody. I am very very excited!!
  9. Hellloo. I am scheduled to be banded in January. How quick will I lose? I don't want to get my hopes up too high. My current weight is 260.
  10. Me!! Jan 7 is my preop and Jan 18 is my surgery date. Can't wait!!
