    That CAN NOT be enough food!!

    You're lucky- My Dr. tells me to eat 2 oz per meal. In the evening I am really hungry. I have a lot of energy and am able to exercise without feeing weak. It's amazing how little food (fuel) we actually need! You'll get used to the small amount of food you eat.. Just keep it up!

    ugh, just got my period

    I was wearing a tampon in surgery. I let them know (in case "something" happened and I didn't wake up for a while) and they took it out after I was asleep.

    ugh, just got my period

    I started mine an hour before they took me back- I asked if I could just wear a tampon and they said no. It wasn't really bad- just embarrassing!

    Weigh in... how much have u lost?

    I live in Texas and we have snow cone stands in the summer. If you dont have any near by, you can shave ice and pour sugar free syrup over it. If it is too sweet you can water it down a little bit. Katie

    Stef- don't get down!!! Just follow your physician's instructions and the weight will come off. I REALLY enjoy sugar free snow cones! I am getting one a day right now. It is sugar free so it counts toward your water. The ice makes you chew- so theres more satisfaction.

    May 20th!!!!!

    I am in Canyon, Texas (in the Panhandle) and Dr Hall in Lubbock, Texas is doing my banding. I am excited and nervous at the same time! I have my time off from work scheduled and haven't even had my pre-ops done yet. I hope I pass everything! Any nurses out there? I am taking off three weeks and hope that is enough.
