I have a friend who several months ago lost significant amount of weight. It was a known fact she had lapband HOWEVER when I would ask her how she has lost it she would lie. Keep in mind we are close enough friends I could ask her in sincerety wanting advice for my health my self. I resent the fact she lies to me making me believe she lost it by just cutting out bread and cokes. I use my weight loss as a teaching tool for others. I do not post on fb either but if someone says wow you look great and they are asking me and I know its because they need help advice also..I.share my story. I might have listened to her story months ago and not waited!!! I do tell people who ask this is just a tool for me to change my lifestyle...not a miracle worker!!!

well I dont know if it is just by chance but I had half atkins shake this morning and within minutes straight to bathroom (diarrhea)....by the way I am 3 weeks post op

Ok...I was on Body By Vi before sleeve. So my question is...if I could handle those shakes for the rest of my life I might not have quit the Body By Vi....I hate shakes daily!! From what I am reading I will be on shakes the rest of my life in order to get protein in??

I am only three weeks postop and I guess still new...but what in the world is sliming?? I have never heard that. ?????

I started at 235- 5'7" and size 18 (tight)...It has been 3 weeks...weighed today and have lost 30.5 lbs. I am losing it somewhere...probably my ankles or something not important!! Ha

I am now in deeper depression....I am 3 weeks post op and I am down 25 lbs HOWEVER I hear about dropping sizes of clothes...well I tried a pair of 18 jeans on (which by the way I was an 18 before) and guess what...they dont fit? They wont even go across my belly.....Im sad!?

I am postop 3 weeks...what exercise should I be doing right now? It still hurts to bend over?

Saw doctor Monday...he said my stomach and place I had hernia repair is still swollen. I have not tried Gasx no....and I am not getting out much for exercise...so cold outside!!

You all have been helpful....one other question...did anyone eat food whether it be soup drink anything and after few bites have a cramp in left side like stomach cramp??

was anyone else at 3 weeks just on water and soft foods (potatoe soup didnt even settle with me)?

Maybe that is why I am fighting nausea and hate to use the word but diarrhea...

I am three weeks postop....cannot eat hardly anything without terrible pain in left side area....cannot drink enough water....and am so depressed!!!
