Find ones you like better.

ya i know still working on it. trying to get some suggestions

What have you tried? There are so many out there. I love the premier Protein ready to drink.

i've tried the a couple of the Protein Shots mixed with juice and such but the flavor is to strong for me and upsets my stomach, tried few different kinds of whey Protein and that upsets my stomach too. put that in shakes, smoothies and almond milk. Ill look into the Premier Protein too.

Ok so im having a hard time getting the Protein Shakes and Protein Shots down:/ any suggestions?

Sounds like "sliming". From what I've read on here from ppl reporting similar things it is food or liquid backing back up your esophagus. This happens from eating/drinking too fast or possibly getting something stuck. Your body makes this slimy mucus to try and move the stuff thru the stoma. Might be worth calling your doc it you are concerned/if it continues even if your eating and drinking is at a glacial pace. Hope u feel better soon!

thanks i have my first appointment tomorrow so i will definatly talk to him about it

Today Is a not so good day:( can't seem to keep anything down. and when it comes back up there is a lot of Mucus also... Is this typipcal anyone know? im on day 12

I am in North Richland Hills as well. I was baned on April 25th and have lost 48 pounds so far. If you guys get a group together I would love to work out with y'all right now I walk around the track at Richland High School.

Oh wow thats awesome!!!! When do you walk? I wouldn't mind having someone to walk with. I need to start walking more!

I'm actually in Watauga but am all over the place. I'm about 10 minute from Euless.

O ok that's cool:)

Hello all! Today I would like to share a triumph! I was able to get to my local gym and do the elliptical trainer for 35 minutes, burning over 600 calories. I could feel my endorphins rising, and my heart rate going up...all that good stuff.

Now, that being said, I'm NOT a fitness guru. Faaaaaaar from it. I hate exercise. It's a chore, but I'm doing my absolute best to readjust my attitude and embrace this new lifestyle. That said, I'm very unfamiliar with what can happen with your body after you become active after periods (long, in this case) of inactivity.

About five minutes after I stopped my workout and got to the car, I immediately felt the need to cough up some congestion in my chest. I was able to get some up, but I definitely feel like a lot of gross stuff (sorry if this is too graphic) was loosened after this workout. It makes sense? Right?

That's Awesome!!!!! and ya it makes sense that your body wants to get rid of the yuck stuff keep up the great work

Hey I'm in North Richland Hills area!

Awesome!!!! How are you feeling? Where in NRH do you stay?

Hi Sara, Check with your docs office to see if there are any support groups in your area....if not, ours meets at 6:00 PM every Tuesday and is open to anyone that has had lap band surgery. We meet at Fort Worth Lap Band - 2501 Parkview Ave. Fort Worth, TX. Good Luck!

Hi! thanks ill look into it:)

Hi I'm Sara. I'm 23. Was banded on the 16th of July. It would be nice to have someone to talk to, hang out with and walk with around me. My family is being really good about being supportive its just weird talking to them about it cause I have to break everything down so that they understand. Well if anyone is interested let me know:)

Not a problem glad to set you mind at ease my appointment is the 31st. And at the moment I am hungry all the time can not wait till next week.

I'm not really all that hungry. As long as I drink my liquids don't really think about it.

Hi there yes it's normal as you have just been banded your band has not been tightened yet.

Do you know when your first tightening date is yet or your next visit. That is usually when your Dr may do the first tightening. For now your band has to heal into place. Then you will start being very careful remember to chew chew chew lol. Take care.

My first visit is the 29th. And thank you makes a lot of sense:) got scared something might be wrong

Yes. I ate the day after surgery. Eating soup' date=' tuna, oatmeal, toast and just ate a few nuts....[/quote']

O ok. Just scared me a little. Of course I thought the worst like it slipped out something

ok July buddies. this is really odd for me and i don't know what to think. I was banded tuesday 7/16/13 and havn't been able to do more than sip and not very mucht at that. Tonight I was drinking a smoothie like before i was banded. It feels as if the band isn't there... is that normal for anyone else?

Count me in! Friday the 26th is D-day! Scared to death but looking forward to a better life.

Good luck! !!!!!

Hi I live in Euless and wouldn't mind having a lapband buddy!!!!! For workouts and such

Welcome to our world!!!

Thanks!!!! Its definitely an adjustment. Having a hard time taking in enough liquids:/ but ill get there soon I hope:)

Hi banded 7/16/13!!!!

Had my surgery Tuesday and big gulps hurt and come right back up for me:( as for laying down I did my right side for the first couple days then my left. The pressure on my left actually felt better... hour you figure out what works for you:)
