i also get cold all the time.sometimes i have a chill go allover my body.

i go by consultation weight.during my six months dietian classes.so then i lost 40lbs before surgery.65lbs after so i add it all together.total104lbs in all.my starting weight was 324lbs.

hi i had my surgery on january 13th 09, so far i have lost 64lbs. after surgery.before surgery 40lbs. so that totals 104lbs so far, the begining i was 324lbs. sofar no complications.january is my one year mark.i could not be happier.cuople of months the doctor says i don,t need a fill.sometimes i lose 5lbs a month. so i think that is average.everytime i go to use the bathroom the scale just keep calling me so i have to answer,it seems so additive.

october is when i hit the 100lbs mark. but november i lost another 4lbs.from the begining i was 324lbs. lost 40lbs before surgery.an 64lbs after surgery.january 09 is my surgery date.o this january will be one year that i have been banded cannot wait to hit onderland..

i was worried about thanksgiving an being banded. but i love my band i ate a portion of everything. an did not gain an ounce.i did good i lost 4lbs.over the holiday weekend.

you go girl. keep on keeping on.dance the jitterbug for us.lol.

Ditto to what KelinTx said an determination. knowing i am gonna make it to my onderland.

that,s just mean would it be possible for you to leave the room.when he comes over.or go for a walk.

i drink a whole lot of Water, i thought i was gonna be hungry but i thank goodness i was not.i was on ensure for two weeks.i ounce 3 times a day. i lost 19lbs during two weeks post-op.wishing you the best tomorrow.

hi hope you feel better, do you have a recliner you can slept in at night. because i had the same problem after surgery.

i also had to cook family meal as i do every holiday. but this time i had the band. i was a little worried i was gonna go crazy. but thanks to my band.i hardly ate much. i did have a portion of everything.then i went to my bike an exercise.this time last year i was just starting out.i had lost 40lbs before my surgery an had to maintaine it through out the hoildays last year.i think i did good. looking at all that food. i love my band it rocks.

i was also worried this is my first thanksgiving being banded, i cooked all my dinner, had a small portion of everything,an i am ok.i was worried about restriction.but i still have some.the doctor office said i could come in early for a fill but i decline.i go in monday anyway,i am getting on my bike for tonight. hope everyone is having a nice thanksgiving.

this is also my first thanksgiving banded.just like nfl1 said i ate a little of everything. an boy it is good. just a spoonful.i am 10 months out i feel great but believe me i am on the bike right after my meal.no more for tonight. i have nip that in the bud.i am now getting on my stationary bike an ride like the wind. since october i have lost 100lbs an i feel great.hope everyone is having a wonderful thanksgiving.

hi do you have a store in your area that,s call avenue,or go online @avenue clothing.com. another is Aj wright clothing store.it seems that i am hooked everytime i go out i have to buy something. goodluck .i know you are gonna look nice.

i have a stationary bike that i get on everyday,an ride for 45minutes ,4 to 5 times a day.it seems the only time i lose weight is when i get a fill.last month i lost 5lbs. total 65lbs,plus 40 before surgery.so that,s 100lbs.but what,s keeps me motivated i think about the weight i am gonna lose.think about how sexy you gonna look this time next year.

i know this list is long, my nutrition gave me the list during my dietian classes. hope this helps everyone.alone with their journey.

the supermarkets carry eas protien products.shoprite

stop&shop.you have to look in the dietian isle.and sometime it,s on sale for like $12.00-14.00 dollars. also if you have a walmart.because GNC is so expensive.

good for you, go get em tiger. you dust those gloves off.i predict a knockout. and the winner is(frustratedInLa).

starbucks have the big bottles of sugarfree syrups.for around $6.00.or check Walmart, sometimes they have them.an any other supermarket,just ask the clerk or manager.

my nut, told me to eat dannon light&fit yogurt, i still eat it today. an cheese is good for you. just get the lowfat, or string cheese.

two weeks post-op i lost 19lbs.then it stop the doctor told me . you are not going to lose anymore weight until i start my fills. an during my fourth fill i saw results.

sometimes it takes more than one or two fills to get restriction. it took my fourth fill. then i started to drop pounds but mines only happens when i get fill.hang in their. it will happen.you are only out a month. after losing 19 lbs after post-op my doctor told me don,t expectto lose any more weight. until i started getting my fills.

can you have the hospital call you a cab.thats how i got home. good luck on your new journey in life. please do not cancel your surgery because of this. you don,t know how long it will take for your doctor to redo.

the only place i see it advertise is on qvc, the hotdogs, the bison burgers. i wonder do they sell it in any supermarkets. it do looks delicious.
