Thank you and same for you! :-) did your doctor ever say how many lbs was a normal weight loss each month after you get to your green zone?

Congrats! Thank you sometimes it hard to remember it didn't get put on in a month lol. I'm glad to be able to talk to someone that is losing a little slower too but you're right losing is way better than gainingnthats for sure! :-)

I was banded in April and I'm down 27 lbs as of 2 weeks ago I'm not sure about now but I'm just curious do y'all think I'm on track because I see people losing 30-50 lbs or more in the time I've had my band and some were banded after me. I know I'm not suppose to compare but I'm scared I'm behind or something. Can anyone give suggestions on how to increase my weight loss progress?

Wow you can really tell the progress! These kind of threads are what get people motivated! :-)

I use to wear a 9 or 9 1/2 but now I wear a 10 sometimes a 10 1/2 but I'm guessing that is weight gain. I have some Skechers and they are good but hurt after a few days. I'm going to check out the synergy shoes though :-)

Whoo hoo lol! I'm so glad to hear that! My fiancé loves the way I look but if you're not comfortable with yourself then it doesn't matter so I'm excited and looking for my confidence and sex drive to increase! I agree with your group too and I hope to be able to join soon! Haha!

When you start losing a good amount of weight does your sex drive increase? I know it's kind of a personal question but this is the ladies chat so I don't feel too uncomfortable asking this.

I use to love NB so maybe I need to go back to them because I'm a wide in shoes too. Thank you an all th information I can get helps :-)

I was just curious what kind of shoes y'all wear when walking? I can't seem to find any that wont hurt my feet after the third day of walking...

That's what I bought was the jack links brand that was 15g of protein. It's pretty good.

Thank you deeberry :-) everything that is better for you is more expensive lol. Weird that the world talks about eating healthy but it's so much more convenient to get the bad stuff..

Where can you get turkey jerky at?

Is beef jerky a okay way to get some protein?

Nothing like that well not to me

Nope can't even feel the prick....I think the other needle would hurt a lot worse with them trying to find the port lol. U might feel a little pinch but it last for less than a second because that medicine really works quick. Ask him to use the doppler machine too. It's like a sonogram machine and maybe he can find it better that's what I had to have done the first time because he couldn't really feel it so he wanted to make sure he knew exactly where he was poking....

I don't ever feel anything but pressure from them trying to find it. My doc will numb it with lidocaine first but I was talking to a lady on here and she said her doc didn't numb her before sticking her...

My port isn't under my incision they use a 10 cc syringe and measure from the end of my incision over and find it so its a little away from my cut...lidocaine I believe is what they use to numb or its what my doc uses to numb me and he will poke all around where he's going to do it so I don't feel a thing...you should not be hurting while they are trying to find your port that's a little crazy...

Thanks :-)

What is the 5 day pouch test?

Which flavor?
