    How much have you lost July Butterfllies??

    I'm down 14 lbs from surgery day
  14. I was banded on the 8th and had my follow-up on the 24th and my doctor has moved me to regular food. 3 meals/day, no snacking. So I've had deli lite turkey and shredded wheat so far and still drinking my sf carnation instant breakfast
  15. I'm also having a hard time getting in my protein. Aside from going through 8 different protein shakes I didn't like, I'm just not able to intake enough protein.

    chewing mushrooms... :(

    I love my portabella mushrooms. I hope it won't be a problem for me.
  18. Good luck to you waiting on approval. The wait time varies by insurance company. I got my approval in less than 24 hours.

    No time to do anything.

    I was told about the 1-2-3 rule in my support group meeting, which can be helpful. If you don't have a large amount of time to exercise, then you can: 1. Take 1 30 minute walks 2. Take 2 15 minute walks 3. Take 3 10 minute walks They say it counts to break up the exercise if you can't do it all at once.

    swimming pool restriction

    I was told no full baths or swimming for a month after surgery.
  23. I was banded on July 8th and haven't lost any real weight. I've only lost the weight that was gained from the surgery itself
  24. Although my capsules are small, I was told to open them up. I just mix it with applesauce
