That's great news! I'll keep you all in my prayers, and you keep us posted!

I eat some beef jerkey, nuts, or fruit for snacks. Of course I have popcorn once in a while too. I love a good salad with all kinds of veggies in it with some type of protein. I top it with olive oil/vinegar and usually fresh garlic.

From one Texan to another Welcome to LBT! Congrats on your surgery date!

I used a 0% credit card for mine. I think Capitol One has a medical program they give credit for, you might want to check them out.

You might want to stick with hard protein instead of the protein drinks. Liquid just goes right through while meat/eggs etc doesn't.

Waiting is the worst part! It's worth the wait though so hang in there!

Welcome to LBT! Good luck and keep us posted!

Patty - Jello really helped me! Popcicles too! Try the carnation Instant breakfast drinks, they have the so sugar ones and they taste pretty good. Cindy - Sorry about your friend, funerals are so hard to go to for me. Hello Eileen! Got to get busy!

You should be able to eat meat and veggies. You do sound like you need a small amount taken out. Junk food always goes down good!

Welcome to LBT and to bandland! It gets better with each day. If you don't need the pain meds then don't take them. I didn't use them after I got home. Good Luck!

Sorry you had to go through that! It won't be long until you get another fill and you'll be back to losing. Good Luck!

You'll start losing more when you get your fills, this is really just a time for healing. You're doing great!

Welcome to LBT and to bandland! Glad to have you aboard!

Great birthday present! Welcome to LBT and congrats on the surgery date!

Welcome to LBT and to Bandland!

I don't get that hungry all the time stuff like I use to. I still get hungry, but a few bites and it's gone. I have to admit that going down the road and smelling stuff still gets me at times!

Good Luck, and let us know how you did when you get a chance!

Congrats on your surgery date! I didn't get sick at all, but if you get sick easily I would mention it to your surgeon because they can give you something ahead of time. Good Luck!

Welcome to LBT! Lapband was the best decision I ever made! There is a lot of information on here just for taking the time to read it all. It helped me alot to read everything I could. Good Luck!

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you! Hopefully the rest will go fast and you'll be on your way to bandland!

Thanks! I'll check it out!

Welcome to LBT and to bandland! I have heard a lot of people that have felt that way at first, but as the time went on and they learned how to work with the band they felt different. Good Luck!

No problem with dairy here! I eat/drink it daily!
