I have a Magic Bullet. I bought it a few weeks before my surgery 2 1/2 years ago and I still use it to this day.

There is a section on the board for complications.

Your Bears won! Double happy dance for you.

Lol

Congratulations! Yes the Bears better win.

There's actually a little foot pedal cycler that goes under your desk. It mimics the moves of a bicycle. http://www.lifehacker.com/263136/under+the+desk-pedal-exerciser This article is older but I've seen them around $20.

It's been so long, I do not remember, but the average weight loss with the band is 1-2 lbs per week.

Lol

Mine is 43.97%

I lost 2 pounds over the holiday.

lol To the OP, if you live off campus you may be able to control your food a little better than if you live on campus. I don't know what school you go to, but some schools are flexible with the type of meal plans they require and have flex dollars and all that type of stuff. I'm a commuter student but I eat at home. The campus meal plans at my school are very inflexible and the food options aren't that great. If you need more assistance, let us know. We will be happy to help you. Good luck with everything.

That's cute lol. Congratulations! I had to get new glasses because mine were flying off of my face and finally broke.

Thank you!

Your menu sounds good. I need to get back into high protein. I've been eating a moderate amount of protein lately.

Where do you get your liquid calcium and liquid multi from? I've been looking and cant find them.

It's a shame that some states are choosing to no longer cover this surgery under medicaid. North Carolina is such a beautiful state though. I love to visit.

OWN replaced Discovery Health in the US. I'm not feeling Oprah either but there are a couple of shows that I want to see on her network.

Around this time of the year, hsn and qvc run sales for exercise equipment. I've seen the lightweight powered treadmills , earlier this year, that are easily moved and store under the bed. They also do not require assembly. You just open the box and plug it in and you're off. They were reasonably priced as well.

I had some broccoli for dinner this evening and I never have a problem with spinach.

Becoming a 'lapband superstar' doesn't happen in a few months. It's a journey and it takes time. We are all 'lapband superstars' because we took the first step into this journey. Don't beat yourself up. Brush your shoulders off and start again.

I'm not a pre op patient but I just wanted to congratulate you on your decision to get banded and wish you good luck on your journey.

Congratulations and good luck on your continued success.

Non-scale victory
