Hi Taylor, I didn't get an email? Great to hear though, lets keep each other posted. Appreciate the info.

Great right, just 4 months after surgery, the CIBO Clinic goes into receivership! Why oh why, do things always turn sour.

Awesome all! Thank you for the great ideas

Hi Fellow Band-sters, Seeing if anyone has any ideas for Breakfast?? Thank you,

Yea. Congrats all!

I was banded at CIBO on feb 4th I couldn't be happier! Good luck!

Hi there. I was banded on the 4th. I went for my first fill and don't need one, they said its very rare. I'm down 18. I can tell a difference in my clothes. I've been feeling really tired. Need to start some cardio, I wanna be in one-derland!

It is amazing how full u do get after 1 cup of food. If u think, typically you should only have about 4 oz of protein per sitting. That with 1/2 cup of veggies is a cup of food. I've been banded since feb 4 , go for my first fill. In 2 weeks. I'm looking forward to that. As right now with no restriction I do get hunger a bit quicker, but do feel full after 1 cup. Good luck your decision.

Looking good. Can't wait to get to that 50 pound mark.

Thank you mandamom, I'll try it this weekend.

Hey msboose. I payed 18,000. Out of pocket! Yes 18K,! Don't b so judgemental about a post. Maybe I should say u only paid 3K, maybe that's why u aren't finding your tool useful!

Hey. All RELAX, THIS IS A SUPPORT SIGHT! Who cares if someone missed placed a freakin post! We are ALL on the same journey! If I wanted to deal with politics, I'd join a political forum.

I've been adding plan greek yogurt to my soups to try to get in my protein; I'm not a big fan of protein shakes etc.

Hi All, I'm starting my puree stage of foods on Feb 19th, just wondering if anyone would care to share yummy ideas. I'm just about souped out I thought puree sweet potatoes, cauliflower, broccoli? Any good protein ideas would be helpful. Thank you Lap Band Fam! Heather

Good luck with your journey. This sight is a,axing for support.

Hey there, Seems like my port incision was feeling better until today. Oh man it hurts soooo bad. I'm now 2 weeks post op

I'm less than 2 weeks post op and don't have any symptoms at my .port. I think mine is below my right rib cage. I agree with Erinsue, call docs ASAP. Good luck!

Oh certainly, they blow you up, after I had my back adjusted it seemed like I was better within hours. My chiropractor adjust me sitting up, so I didn't have to lay on my side/back.

Happy Weight loss!

I think the responses you will see on this sight are: Everyone is different, people with more to lose may lose more in the initial stages, and people with less, may lose less. If you average your weight loss that's almost 5 pounds a week, which is more than double the 1-2 per week goal. Don't get frustrated, maybe incorporate some exercise, even if it's just walking 30 mins, 3/x's a week.

Hi All, Did any of your doctors say when it would be okay to start having a small glass of wine????

Congrats and welcome! I was banded on the 4th; I'm on Full Liquids till Monday,and oh Man I can't wait!!!!

Whoot Whoot!!! Congratulations! It's a son-size or 6 bags of 10# Sac of Potatoes!!!!!!!!! Imagine!

Sounds good; I get to start puree stage in 6 days ;and I never thought I'd be sooo excited hahaha. Happy Weight Loss!

I'm there with ya band-sista; great feeling. I swore I wasn't going to weigh myself before my 1st fill, but I thought what the hell.....I have my 1st fill March 4th. I'm starving so I'm really looking forward to it!
