They have concentrated cranberry softgels at Wal-Mart. I have had a little problem w/ this since my surgery. shagamelic

I had to reply to this post. Loved everyone's input. My fill doc is putting me on hormones. I had a hyterectomy five years ago, i was only 33. All the scare about the synthetic hormones came out, so i just quit taking them. My fill doc told me this summer that testosterone is very important for women too!!! Number one it helps with the way our body holds on to the fat on our bodies. So i started last week on naturally compounded hormones. I am unsure it has made a diff yet!!!! Just thaught everyone might find that informative. shagamelic

My doctor recommended Cascara Sagrada 450mg. I get mine at Wal-Mart, it is from Spring Valley. I take one a day in the evening. I also take a vit. c supplement. shagamelic

I think you are doing wonderful. Try measurment. I was told to take my measurements monthly, because the scale will not give you a true picture. shagamelic

Hey shortney, I sent you a private message. shagamelic

rsduhe, I have been so busy w/ my kids' baseball games i haven't been on here. I was surprised to learn all of this about Dr. Malley. I am so happy w/ the fill dr. i found i am not going to switch. Let me know when you all are going to get together. shagamelic

Hey girl, She sounds like a very unhappy person. They always have to make everyone around them as unhappy as they are. You stick in there monday. Your friends will know her for what she is. I am sure she has made many insulting remarks to other people you work with. shagamelic

Hunnie, The orange juice may be too irratating for a few days. Anything that is acidic. shagamelic

This is wonderful, and I know you look like a real HOTTIE. Someone else mentioned if they see you all the time they may not notice the weight loss. Give us your secrets to success. Keep up the good work. shagamelic

I had the same question Marimaru. What is lapband w/ rerouting. Do they rearrange you so you don't absorb everything??? I will have to google that. I too watched the View and was very disappointed. Not what I expected. I found out about the band last November when they had an article in Womens World magazine. I wish now i had saved that article. This is what led me here. I have been lurking around since then. Just starting to feel more comfortable posting. shagamelic

This is so weird. I went walking today and when i came home sat down for a few, and when i got up i did something to my back in a place that never bothers me. So i have been browsing the new posts wondering if i should go get adjusted or not. I am 3 wks post and now i think i will try ice and tylenol and maybe that will work. shagamelic

Are you getting enough protien?? My doc told me i would feel run down if i didn't. I am with everyone else i think you should have your meds evaluated. Keep posting!! shagamelic

You can get those butterfly strips at Wal-Mart. That would help it to stay together. shagamelic

Sherry, I was banded on June 1. I try to get in around 60 grams of protiens a day. Starvation mode may be it. Are you drinking plenty of Water?? I buy the bottled water in 20 oz. bottles so i can keep track of it. Also if you up your protiens you won't be as likely to loose muscle. There is a thread on here about protien shakes. Which ones are best ect... These are a good way to get in your protien. Hope this helps. Everyone else will chime in here later. shagamelic

I have been using the slimfast low carb vanilla. It has 20 grams of protien. This is because it is at wal mart. I don't have a GNC in town. Heather thanks for the web site . Lots of stuff on there. shagamelic

You might try some Vit. C cream. I have some I use on my face, and my scar right under my bra was itching so bad, that i used the c cream. It has healed over so well i have been putting it on the other three. shagamelic

Lindsay, I was told by my doctor that the acid in tomatoe based juices and Soups, coffee, orange or grapefuit juice, may irratate the new stomache. Shagamelic

I wonder if your tubing or port is leaking. I remember a post about the port having to be replaced. Just a thaught.
