AMEN!!!! Laura

Hi again. Yup the 50lbs came back off pretty quickly after my surgery. I tried to be careful and watch what I ate but the pounds just packed on. My husband was amazed how fast it came on. We were both dieting and he was losing and I was gaining. Hang in there. It will get better. Take a walk now and then and DON'T stress eat! Laura

Same thing happened to me. I got the band out then waited 6 weeks for my vertical sleeve. I happened to gain about 50lbs during that time. It was amazing how the weight piled on so quickly. I was exercising and watching what I was eating. Though I did enjoy lots of fruit. It had been a long time since I could eat fruit and enjoy it. It will happen! Laura

I use the unflavored unjury Protein. I also add DaVinci flavored syrups to it to make different flavors, i.e. vanilla, strawberry etc. That works okay for me. Laura

Good Morning everyone! I have a question for you all. I get stomach aches after I eat, almost every time. Is this normal? I did have a bout of pneumonia about a week after surgery and I was loaded with antibiotics. I thought I might need to eat some yogurt to get the normal bacterial flora back into my gut. Thanks for the help! Laura

Hang in there! I'm so excited for you! I'm 10 pounds from onderland. Can't wait Laura

Okay, I thought the SF flavorings were somekind of coffee flavoring. So I should be able to find sf flavorings at the store?

do the coffee flavorings have the taste of coffee in them? Laura

Hi everyone I had a Lapband placed in 2003. It prolasped 2009 or maybe earlier but my husband noticed that I wasn't eating right - A little piece of steak than a bowl of ice cream and Cookies or something like that. That got me watching and thinking and I saw I wasn't doing things correctly or the bandster way. I saw my doc - hence the prolapse. We tried the unfill then fill and still found my stomach going up into my band. So December 30th I had my band removed and then February 9th had the sleeve done. I am on phase 2 of the docs diet - soft and liquid foods now and for the next 3 weeks (till my next appt). I am handling the foods okay, not eating much which is pretty cool. Even though I was exercising I still packed on ~30 lbs in between the band and the sleeve, while the hubby was losing. Not Fair! Anyway I remember that sensation of fullness when I got my band. Will the feeling of fullness be about the same for us? If you eat too much or too fast do you get that nausea feeling? I tried sipping Water kinda quickly and after about 1/2 glass full I got nauseaus. I'm assuming this is normal? Any help would be appreciated. What does that fullness sensation feel to you? Thanks Laura 9 days out!
