I still can't believe it's happening but it sure looks like the "you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours" "justice" network is going strong. These people are going to appeal....Keep your fingers crossed for them...

Spare ribs...mmmmmm

Ellisa, Hi! I'm suppose to be eating only 1-2ozs per meal on a full liquid diet, 5 times a day. I am trying to stick to it but I am going crazy. I have eaten 4-6ozs of soup. Egg Drop and I feel like I'm "cheating". I am so tired of broth, juices, protein shakes....(thank goodness the chocolate Unjury is pretty good) I took a small bite of cheese off my kids pizza. It just smelled too good. Tomorrow I'm able to start "soft and moist". It is going to seem like prime rib!

I'm freaked too. I had a breast reduction before my lapband. (I'd already given up on ever losing weight) I was a 34C when I was thin, Now (after weight gain breast reduction) I'm a 42D. I hope I have something left when the weights gone.

Hi guys! Thanks for your input. I'm so glad to hear that this is NOT right. I have Kaiser and they have a Weight Connections class. This is where I got the info. Kaiser contracts with Dr. Shae so I've never actually been to his nutritionist. I will definitely get with a nutritionist and back with Kaiser and find out why that's all it says in my WLS book. Thanks again. I feel MUCH better. I can handle liquids and an oz here and there as long as I know there's an end in sight. I can handle a cup of food....mmmmm.

I don't really have any solutions but I FEEL YOUR PAIN.....(my stomach is growling right now)

Hi Everyone! I live in Colorado, I am 49yrs young. I've been married twice. My DH and I have been married 21yrs. I have 5 children. 29, 19, 17, 13 and 10. 2 girls and 3 boys. I also have 3 grandkids. I work for the state of CO. Glad to be a part of the December Merry losers!

Hi! I was banded on the 18th. I need some support. I think I've hit the "regretting it" stage. My post-op diet says I'll never be able to eat Nuts, Corn and a bunch of other stuff. Also, it says I'll never be able to have more than 500 calories a day and 2 ozs at a time. Is that for real? Is anyone else feeling like this?

Hi All! I'm needing some support. This liquid diet is driving me crazy. I think I'm in the "regretting it" stage. I was going over my post-op stuff, according to it I'll never be eating over 500 calories and 2 ozs per meal. Is this correct? Also it says I can NEVER eat corn, nuts, coconut and other stuff. I've lost 12 lbs but haven't lost anything for several days. I know I''m griping but I needed to get it off my chest....Anyone else feeling like this?

Current and Local and Breaking News for Denver, Colorado and the surrounding area : Rocky Mountain News Check this one out. Here in Colorado people who bought a prime landlot in the '80's, paid taxes, kept the lot in good condition are rewarded with having to GIVE a large portion of their land to the people who live next door. All of this BECAUSE the landgrabbers (squatters) supposedly have been using this land as their own for years. They live in the house next to the land. Of course if the original owners chose to build a house there, it would block the landgrabbers beautiful view of the Boulder FlatIrons Mtn Range.

I'm tired of Americans being so quick to judge other Americans for doing what has to be done in times of War. Do you honestly believe these types of things weren't done before now? (only now we have "the media" to inform us of it) If this would've happened in the previous wars...We may be yelling "Mein Fuhrer!"

Congrats RonKat! That's great! Men are able to shed the lbs quite a bit faster than women....I had surgery on 12/18 and I've lost 12lbs. I can tell my clothes fit better and I'm not gaining!! Are you on any type of POST-Op diet? It amazes me how different the pre and post-op diets can be. I'm on full liquids for another 4 days and then I swith to soft and moist. (which at this point will be heaven)

I did a little re-organizing. I hope you all don't mind. It was confusing my obsessive compulsive calorie starved mind.

Welcome brandymom1234! How is everyone? I'm now a week Post-Op. Doing pretty good! It feels great to feel thinner everyday!!!

Wow! MissyDFE you've lost 18lbs? Good for you! Are you doing alot of physical activity?

Hi all! I am a week post-op. I'm able to eat up to 4 ozs of runny malt-o-meal (chocolate..mmmm). Is this ok? I thought I'd only be able to eat about 2 ozs max. My DH has been helping me with all my meals also. It has been wonderful but Christmas dinner was very hard. Ham...one of my favorites. (I ate mashed potatoes). I've been drinking the Chocolate Unjury and it's pretty good. (20gms protein for 8 ozs).

I think Dr. Kirshenbaum in Colorado charges around $9000 for self-pay. You can check on the Colorado site or look him up if you'd rather not go to Mexico.

Hi All! Today is post-op day 4. I've been having trouble with gas bubbles! It makes me feel bloated and I can't eat hardly at all. How much are we suppose to be eating now? I've been drinking 1 oz. every 15 minutes. Or trying to. Eating maybe 3 times a day, but I'm counting the UNJURY as a meal. Is this ok?

Did anyone else have a lowgrade fever? I've had one since yesterday but my release form says not to call the doc unless it's 100 or above. ALSO, How are you all doing with drinking and eating? I also have meds that I've cut up into a bunch of pieces and I'm trying to take them when I drink my water. I feel stuffed....It's probably just swelling but it makes it hard to get everything in.

Hi all! I just got home from being banded yesterday. Other than a little pain....all is going good. I'd lost 4 lbs when I went to surgery already. Woo Hoo!!! How is everyone else fairing?

I'm already sick of broth. I wasn't a fan of it before and I can tell by the tim ethis is over the word will be LOATHE it. Ellisa where are you located? Freebird, hope all goes well. Let us know how you are doing as soon as you can. That goes for everyone. This day is going by very fast. I'm really getting freaked about not being able to eat certain things. Oh let's face it, not being able to eat anything..... food has been my comfort for many years......
