Did you resume taking them post-op. I have gotten a greenlight from my surgeon but I don't know if I want to start them yet. I'm concerned of slowing down my weight-loss. The night sweats & hot flashes are awful lol

What a fabulous idea! Very interested, can't wait to hear more

I've been getting 60-G protein since day 3 postop, take all my supplements, including biotin. I'm believing if it's gonna happen it will.....seems like I did everything possible & still happened

I have been having fun trying on smaller sized clothing in stores but will not give in to actually buying them. Just enjoying the pleasure of taking pics in the fitting rooms. I'm buying most of my things through yard sales & consignment shops for now. Buying new thing will be my awards for meeting GOAL

I'm a slow loser too. But I know I am doing everything that needs to be done. During stalls I concentrate on NSV's to celebrate. DEE http://deekajungumbo.blogspot.com/2014/05/friday-weigh-in.html

Yesterday, I was eating a small piece of salmon at a restaurant with my family. I was enjoying their company & didn't chew a piece well enough before swallowing. Suddenly I had that all too familiar feeling of being stuck, like when I was banded. It hurt really bad. I excused myself and made it to restroom just in time before it came up. I was fine. Anyone former LapBander have this happen?

I am averaging 2lbs a week so far, had 3 stalls but I'm keeping on program. Walking & swimming laps now that the pool is warming up. I am low BMI so I was expecting slow losses. I need to find time for strength training to help my BAT wings though DEE http://deekajungumbo.blogspot.com/2014/05/friday-weigh-in-mothers-day-weekend.html -
I have to track my protein & water otherwise I tend to fall short. DEE http://deekajungumbo.blogspot.com/2014/05/friday-weigh-in-mothers-day-weekend.html

hope you feel better soon. I have heard many stories that most hospitals & ER's don't really have the knowledge/expertise to properly treat/diagnose WLS patients. My surgeons office advises patients to call surgeon for consult.

I agree Ebert! Muscle toning is crucial for saggy skin but your not allowed to mix in some cardio to balance it out? DEE http://deekajungumbo.blogspot.com/
