The scale is thy enemy. I have lost 50 pounds and hit a wall. So I got a scale and it made me feel worse... When I see my doctor to weigh in it's always at 3pm....So depending on what I eat I weigh more. I keep mine hidden and I stick to a liquid diet for weigh ins.

Anyone from NYU Langone Weight Loss ?
ADDrienne replied to Karen85's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
Dani... I have had 2 fills and I lost 32 pounds since July 2013. I am in the green zone (7.5 cc out of a 10cc band). Even with the band we still have to watch our diet and exercise. I think it's a myth that you don't have to after you get the band. That's just my humble opinion. BTW I am in Annadale.... Sent from My Samsung Galaxy S4 -

Since the Time Warner Cable and CBS war I have missed my shows Ray Donovan and Dexter.... Oh happy day Thomas Gisselbrecht has Showtime On Demand.... Thanx Cable Vision!

I can't stand it. I am on a 1200 calorie diet and certain people in my family feel the need to tell me I am eating too much. Apparently my weight loss says I am not. They don't want to know about my weight loss. Also I haven't had my first fill yet. Anyone else have this problem and how did you handle it? Sent from my SGH-M919 using LapBandTalk

I used to be more out going. Now I am not. I always say what I feel or need to. Why should I hold the burden? Also I don't care what people think that helps. Everyone is different. My husband is like you Shazam. Don't beat yourself up it takes all kinds. Sent from my SGH-M919 using LapBandTalk

So I allow my furry beasts to roam in a secured yard... I went to get them inside and JoJo caught a mouse..... Sure that's what a cat does right? This poor mouse was screaming. Eck. Just Eck.

Surgery Date is July 26th
ADDrienne replied to miss679's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The post op pain of the abdominal gas dissipated yesterday. I have the gas strips too. I haven't taken anything. So I don't know of anything better. But I have just been burping more. My incisions are sore too. That's it I don't have any other issues. The walking around is the only cure for post op gas pain. I didn't believe the Dr and nurses at first but they were right. Are you keeping a food journal? Sent from my SGH-M919 using LapBandTalk -

Hi! I was banded on the 25th. All went well. I did have pain from the gas they use to inflate your abdominal cavity with. That was bad. Worse than the incisions. Sent from my SGH-M919 using LapBandTalk -
Psych Eval-Feeling Frustrated.
ADDrienne replied to smpin1176's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The Psychologist mentioned it to me that I need a councilor. I went and got one. All I felt was panic so I understand your situation. Then she wanted to speak with my Psychiatrist....that took 2 months to happen... Sent from my SGH-M919 using LapBandTalk -

Surgery in 2 days... nervous :/
ADDrienne replied to girlgetsLB's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Perhaps because you are a mother you need to be there for your children. I know I would feel a bit apprehensive too (I am not a birth mom... But a mom to my niece) I am having surgery on the 25th. You will do fine! -
Definitely call your doctor to find out. Everyone has a different variation of a low fat low calorie semi liquid diet. I have a 1000 calorie diet of protein shakes two cup limit on non starchy vegetables, 30 calorie limit on sugar free ice pops and jello.

Help! Has Anyone Had Bad Breath From Protein Shakes?
ADDrienne posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Not to be gross.. I do brush, floss and use mouth wash. My mother said I never had this before..... Has anyone had this or heard of it? -
Date set for July 23rd!
ADDrienne replied to christy40's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Well this is a great change for you. Me too. But I try to remind myself just because I am smaller/weight less my issues are still there. So I feel I must be diligent in my postoperative time to eat properly and limit the sweets.
