You burn about 500 calories a day while breastfeeding..so it can for sure be a great weight loss help..however, some of us use up those extra 500, plus some

Is Spain for school, or the band, or? I get confused easily

Did you have issues then too with calls?

No worries, we are all complaining, but haven't been filled yet, so we don't have the restriction I'm sure (hope!) we will all do much better once we are well on our way.

Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmm people.........lol

I will gladly pass my ginormous jugs on to you when I am finished nursing this tot. There is a little flower tattoo on the left one, but other then that, they are in good used condition.

I'm curious as to the response..

That's how it was before for me, too...

Thats what happened with me..I REALLY liked Kathy..she was so quick to email/phone back before I paid..I emailed her a couple questions over a week ago and didn't get a response. The calls to the nurse I referred to above were on sat (last) and monday...the nut calls were mon and wed. Today is Saturday.

Ok, loved Dr. Yau, everything went well..but do they call you back when you leave messages?? I have left two for Nancy (nurse) about my incisions, and two for Jill (nut) about my diet. Kathy dropped off the face of the earth after I gave them my money... What the heck?? I kind of thought my 16K would get me more then just the band..

Medge- I would let them know that is COMPLETELY unacceptable.

Just curious where we are all at. From start to goal is a 180lb journey for me. I have broken it down into smaller goals for myself, so I don't get so overwhelmed. I am hoping to be at goal number 1 by Christmas, which is to be 199lbs. I am now 106lbs away from that goal.

AWESOME!!!!!!!!! We started at the same weight, I am 6lbs behind you! (my ticker is to my first goal, 199)

Still can't wear a bra (any) and I am one week post op. On of my incisions sits right on my bra line and kills when I try.

I've been tracking with fit day since pre-op, and find with all this liquid (I'm on full fluids now), I'm getting about 500-600 calories a day total, it takes me foreverrrrrr to sip sip sip. Curious what everyone else is getting...

Oh, cool, where in London? Where did you find out?

Can you imagine all of us stranded on a deserted island? lol

Ditto!!! :wub:

((hug)) Feel better soon!

Yahooooooo!!

Nope!!! :cool2:

I'm on clear for 5 days, full for a week, then pureed for 2 weeks.

That is weird...are they afraid it will suck them in? lol.

I think its a diet thing, not a band thing (I was wondering the same thing, and thats the conclusion I've come to..lol).

Where were you banded? Originally I was booked for Mexico..2 weeks before I called around here to see (I was told by the Mexican surgeon that I would have no problem with aftercare/fills here..boy were they wrong) how much it would be for aftercare..the cheapest place I found charged $5000.00 for aftercare. And that only covered the first 2 years of fills, etc. I did the math and chose to be banded in Toronto instead, it ended up cheaper in the long run...
