Which vitamin?
I'm pretty sure GNC has a 100% guarantee. If you have your receipt take it back. Here at ours a guy took back some protein powder he disliked with no problem.

Midnight munchies
I am reading "Mindless Eating" by Brain Wansink. Recommended by my Lapband Doc's psychologist. Also, maybe try to get in something that is a protein to kind of fill you up instead of junk. I am a night eater too. I dont do too bad during the day but after about 8-9p I raid the pantry. That will have to stop I am scheduled for surgery 8-8.

Lap Band Rules and Guidlines
- What happens next? How does the process normally work?
I got approval in about 2/3 weeks from United Healthcare once it was sent to them.- A Little Morbid???
My Mom said the same thing, "No open casket." We did anyway, we needed it. I feel the funeral is for the living, besides she looked better than she had for a long time. She died of Alzheimers.- A thread for super-sized bandsters - starting BMI over 50?
Purplemonkey....75lbs that is awesome!!!! Think back to what size clothes were you in before you lost, and what size you are in now! I lost 40lbs several yrs ago while off work from a disability. When I went back NO ONE said anything. Really hurt my feeling. But I knew I had lost it. And you could tell, I went down several sizes in clothes. You really should be proud of what you have accomplished, keep your chin up!- Tanning tips?
Just be sure if you are still tanning after surgery,dont tan your scars or they wont fade. I have only done a tanning salon once before a Florida vacation. I tan easy so I didnt use anything but that probably isnt right. The girls at the salon will probably have some high dollar stuff to sell you that is supposed to help speed the tanning process.- A thread for super-sized bandsters - starting BMI over 50?
I think our Doc only has a 2 day pre-op diet1 I have been so flustered the last 2 days I need to read up and be sure. And the Dr office called this morning, the Dr is on vacation 8-1 so I had to change to 8-8. I guess they forgot to put his vacation on their calendar???? Uhhhh...no Dr.. no surgery!!- Got banded in Springfield MO??
Where in Ks do you live? Who is doing your surgery? I just got my date (then they changed it) it is Aug 8 with Dr Hoehn at Shawnee Msn Med Ctr. I live in Leavenworth KS.- How soon can my husband & I be intimate?
That cracked me up!! One of the guys asked that on their thread...said as long as you arent swinging from the chandelier.- This is totally off topic, but I could really use some feedback...
Say, just like before you cant accommodate her. Email her back if that is an easier way to say no. If it would make you feel better and you can afford it offer to help pay for a couple motel/hotel nights. If the place had a pool that would be an additional plus for activities for the kids. Be tough, its your home, dont be a doormat. - What happens next? How does the process normally work?
