  1. I tried them but wasn't too impressed with it. Everyone is different though. It didn't really curb my appetite or anything. I still have a big bag of it sitting in my kitchen because it just didn't do anything for me. Like I said everyone is different but I honestly was not impressed with it.

  4. I'm doing good. Very sore where the port is but other than that doing great!
  5. So I have a question... I was banded on Wednesday and can transition to mushies this next Wednesday but my question is that I know Protein helps you stay full longer but what exactly do y'all suggest to eat during this healing stage to make sure I'm not overrating and staying fuller longer and getting all the protein I need??
  6. My doctor required that I lose some weight before surgery. There was no certain amount I was suppose to lose just had to use. So I did stray from my liquid diet a couple time because I was so incredibly hungry some days. They explained to me that it was important to lose because of where the liver sits it has to be moved to place the band and if no weight is lost it's harder to move it for the operation.
  7. My surgery went well. Still a little sore total I've lost about 9 pounds. Starting back to work tomorrow.
  8. I was just banded in Louisville Ky by Dr. Olsofka. Any other bands tears from around this area??
  9. I'm on day 4 too the Buddha Belly is awful! Glad I'm not alone!!
