Had to buy new jeans today. Have gone from a size 22 to an 18. I am so happy today!

Good luck to both of you! Hoping you'll get good news soon.

I am seeing my Dr tom..Problem is that the post surgery shoulder pain has come back with a vengeance! It been two months since my surgery. Anyone else have this problem?

Went to er to rule out blood clot or heart attack..hopefully I can see the surgeon tom.

Good luck to you. Too be so educated some drs are so stupid.

I'm having chest pains as well..getting really nervous. Will let you all know..thank you for caring.

Wow.. Crossing my fingers they find whatever it is.

I will.ty

Your welcome. Anytime!!

Kpurdy the protein is really important .

Hmmm..I'm gonna check that out also..

Congratulations to both of you! Go easy on yourselves, we've all been there. I started looking into Lapband 3 years ago and finally took the leap this year. My surgery was June 26th. I had every thought that you have had. My preop was the sugarbusters diet. Every time I was in the grocery store I'd think of all the food that I could never have! You know what though? Its simply not true! I have a bite here and there of dessert. Honestly, the only thing missing right now is broccoli!!! Can you imagine that? Kind of funny Anyway, my point is that you can absolutely do this! You aren't going to feel deprived!!! This is one of the best decisions you will make for your life. I've lost 30 lbs which may not seem like a lot but it is to me. I've gained so much by losing that. Two pants sizes, 4 inches and a cup size on my bra! The energy that is coming back is amazing! I'm so happy and excited for both of you! I look forward to hearing all of your successes! Its all going to work out great!

I still supplement with whey protein shakes.

No worries! All of us have issues with food and weight. That's why we are here. It will work!!!

Thank you everyone!!!

Your welcome,you never know. Either way, will be here before you know it!

Oh my goodness, I remember the feeling! Its such a wonderful feeling when you realize that its actually going to happen! So happy for you!

Thank!!!!!

That's awesome!! Congratulations!!

So true! Hope you have a smooth recovery.

Idk... I just follow drs directions..Better safe than sorry.

Welcome!

Smoothies and protein shakes are fine. Especially if you need extra protein. And yes I put them in a glass.

Hey go walking..I've been trying to remember who told me that hadn't had fills, it was you! Glad your doing so well!

Hi Rollo..my surgery was June 26th.. Still haven't had a fill nor do I need one. Losing between 1 to 3 pounds a week! I eat about a cup per meal. I mostly have protein shakes for breakfast.
