  1. For my height of 5ft3in I'm suppose to have 79 grams of protein a day. If I knew how tall your were I could get the protein amount for you, I have a list from my Dr.. My Dr. pushes protein because it helps in weight loss and satiety. I would not go against anything your Dr. has told you about protein and your diet plan though. ~~~Stephanie
  2. You can also try magnesium citrate, it comes in a liquid form and in a couple different flavors. From what I remember it does not taste extremely bad, still not the best thing to drink though. Good luck, and yes if that does not work I'd see about an enema or your Dr. ~~~Stephanie
  3. I have not tried unjury, but I have tried nectar (fuzzy Navel flavor) it is really good. If you want a change from the milky ones it's really good and has a good Protein amount. Just thought I'd mention it in case you were looking for some different ones. ~~~Stephanie

    Has anyone heard from Missy? I have not seen her on in a few days and I know she was having some complications with Water retention. Does anybody know if she is OK? I am just concerned. ~~~Stephanie
  6. Oh I almost forgot you will want to take a pillow for the car ride home to hold your stomach over bumps and turns. ~~~Stephanie
  7. Are you getting in enough Protein? ~~~Stephanie
  8. I have to wait three weeks before I can be submerged in Water, I think it has something to do with infection. The best thing is to ask your Doc. ~~~Stephanie
  9. Good luck with your journey. I just got banded Tuesday and this site was a god sent to help me prepare. You'll do great ~~~Stephanie

    Great job, your looking good! ~~~Stephanie
  11. Yes I'm addicted to carbs, I do better if I stick with complex carbs, but even then I have to watch it. And there is definitely withdraws with coming of carbs. Just coming of simple carbs you can have withdraws. Good luck, the 3rd day is the worst for me when I do it. I feel better by the 5th. ~~~Stephanie .
  12. Same thing here. Just had surgery Tuesday and It is hard, especially at first to drink anything. I feel so full and bloated, it is so uncomfortable. All I can drink right now is my 4, 8oz servings of protein drinks and a 1/2 cup of coffee. ~~~Stephanie
  13. I'm so sorry to hear that. I know I would be freaked out too. Good luck and I hope everything comes out OK. ~~~Stephanie
  14. Looking good, keep up the good work. ~~~Stephanie
  15. I was banded Tuesday, I can only have Clear liquids for a week. You may want to have something for diarrhea it hit me on day 2. ~~~Stephanie
  16. Productive burp, I believe it is when something comes up with your burp. ~~~Stephanie
  17. I thought you might have been referring to the vegus nerve. Hope that helps, I don't know if I got the spelling right. ~~~Stephanie
  18. I just got banded Tuesday and I feel full when I drink I think it is just from swelling and gas. As far as burbs, yes I have been doing that a lot on liquids. ~~~Stephanie
  19. Thanks, That was what I couldn't figure out. ~~~Stephanie
  20. It did not work for private chatting. Thanks ~~~Stephanie
  21. Alex got rid of him, but I'm afraid he'll come back with another user name. Is there anything you can do with this kind of stuff?
  22. How do you get rid of someone in Private Chat that won't leave you alone and keeps asking for money? I reported it to Alex. But He keeps popping up on private chat it's annoying. ~~~Stephanie
  23. Yes, I just had surgery Tuesday and even though I've been to afraid to touch my stomach so I don't know if it is hard. I do know that it hurts getting up and down and bending over which I'm not suppose to do. The bending over part or stooping for that matter. So be careful. ~~~Stephanie
  24. That's what I was thinking, maybe it is just swollen right now. ~~~Stephanie
  25. Mine are 150.00 without insurance and that's with numbing and fluoroscope. ~~~Stephanie
