I had a tsp of nutela and Davonte's it for 5 whole minutes. I was delightful. We're only human. Sometimes you just have a moment but then you get right back on track. Good luck

Congratulations. When the pain starts get up and walk. I used to wave my hand in circle motion to help with the chest pain & it helped. After 18 days I'm good. Good luck

Great job. Even though you don't feel it you probably look it. But don't worry about the outside as long as the inside is positive. You look to be a beautiful & smart young lady & if people can't see that, that's their loss. You start school thinking about how much fun your going to have, think positive and good things will come. Keep up the good work.

Good luck, you'll be fine.

You look great.

Go get checked. I spent 3 myths with my unwanted till I washed rushed to the hospital with a stone. Not any fun.

I made a low fat potato soup, split pea. There are some great recipes online that ill try this weekend.

I was told to leave them alone wash normal ( dial anti bacterial soap) and just leave alone. After 2 weeks the taped has fallen off & today I put coco butter on it so it won't scar. Feel better.

There are some great recipes online if you google bariatric recipes. I made the low fat low cal potato soup, OMG. Next on list is cream of broccoli.

Banded on the first & feeling good. Today I bought coco butter stick to apply to scars to heal faster. Still a bit hungry but up to 2 protein drinks a creamed/ puréed soup & some sugar free pops plus water & ok. I can't wait to get to mushies.

Your story reminded me of a family friend who had gastric bypass in the late 70's. I remember bumping into to him at mc Donald's & he told us he couldn't make it past 2 chicken nuggets. He's since passed & my mom & I always remember the 2 nugget rule. Just start over. Good luck

My marti has been a blessing. She never leaves my side and dale makes me laugh when I need it most. They complete me.

Make sure you drink the water and walk. As for 1&2's. don't worry water in water out. You will feel better soon. I'm 2 weeks out & finally feeling much better. Good luck

You look amazing, an inspiration, thank you for sharing.

That reminds me o a line from steal magnolias, "I haven't left the house since I was 14 without Lycra on my thighs". Ha ha I never leave to work without one.

My daughter said that to me (13 year old) but it was really fear talking. Men sometimes, don't know how to say the right thing. Remember you made the decision, your a mom and you can do this!!!! Every pound you loose is an accomplishment that YOU did alone. You go girl!!!!! You've always got friends that understand. Next time let him talk to your backside

Awesome!!!

One step at a time and breathe. My daughter was angry at me for the wls but now that she sees that I'm loosing weight and happy, she's coming along. Maybe hubby (men can act like kids) is just worried. When I feel I'm loosing it, I rush to lapband talk for comfort. Keep up good work.

Oh no, take it easy. Feel better.

About what time after lap band before "green?

I was STARving!!!! This weekend & my body began shaking. So I pulled a Cuban (that means do what my 105 yr old grandmother would do) I made a very light split pea Soup. Omg, that was the trick. I called the dr's office & explained my weekend she said that was I drinking my 50 grams of Protein. I thought I was only allowed 1 shake, nope, it was supposed to be 2 or 3. Duh,,, any way split pea is filled with Iron & protein. So happy now. Not hungry. Good luck

I've lived with a large scar on my right leg tha is to a large tumor when I was six. When people notice it I tell them :My parents wouldn't let me get a tattoo so I did it myself. Don't worry, your going to look so fabulous they won't even notice the scars.

Congratulations

Listen to your body. I was banded on the first but I'm still tired. I have a conference in NYC tomorrow but I'm rescheduling, no way can I get on a bus and walk ny streets.

I've been living on Lipton noodle soup broth, crystal light pink lemonade, sugar free pops & jello. Don't forget ice chips help
