I think the best ones out there are the WorldWide chocolate Pure Protein Shakes.... they taste just like chocolate milk and they have 35 grams of protein, very tasty. You can geet them at Vitamin Shoppe.< /p>

How much have you lost so far? I was banded August 21, 2008 and have lost 25 pounds.

Hey everyone I really really want to lose 15 more pounds by Christmas Eve. I just wanna look great when I go back home to California. Do you guys think this is a realistic goal or am I setting my self up for failure??

I'm very interested in the LapBand Conference. I just need details for my mom who had the Gastric Bypass a few years back. We really want to do this...

Hey, everybody I was banded in August 21, 2008 and was just wondering what you guys were eating. I'm starting to get a little bored with the same 'ol same. What are some meal ideas??

Oh, ok I know exactly where that's at. Thank you! :rolleyes2:

I am originally from San Jose, Ca but have lived in Denver, Co for about a year now I also had my LapBand Surgery here in Denver. I'm planning on moving back home to San Jose and was wondering if any of you knew of a good fill doctor out there??

I take Centrum Silver chewables and TwinLab calcium citrate Chewables.

Oh you will know when something is stuck.

The Crystal Light ones are sugar free and only 10 calories per little packet. I have half a packet in one 16.9 oz bottle of Water and the other half in a second 16.9 oz bottle of water.

What size band do you have?

Had my first fill on 09/25 and I feel no restriction at all! I had 5.6 cc's put in my 14cc band and I feel like I haven't lost.... I don't know what to do. I made an appointment for my 2nd fill on 10/16

Here is a sample meal plan.

Breakfast:

1 scrambled egg

1/2 cup canned fruit (packed in own juices)

1/2 cup cream of wheat made w/skim milk

Lunch:

3 ounces canned tuna (packed in water)

1/2 cooked carrots

Snack:

1/2 cup Protein shake

Dinner:

3 ounces ground chicken

1/2 cup cooked green Beans

1/4 cup mashed potatoes made with skim milk

and 64 ounces of Water plus you Calcium citrate and multi Vitamin

Yeah, he gave me an oral antibiotic that I have to take twice a day and he said to keep putting Neosporin on it.

None, it was just a scab and then I started putting mederma on it and that went away and a little bit of Fluid was coming out but it didn't smell or anything. My doctor said the infection was underneath the scab

Went to have my first fill yesterday and it turns out my large incision is infected! So now I'm antibiotics until Thursday 09/25.... I hope it hurries up and heals.... if it does then I get to have my first fill on 09/25. I'm 28 days post-op and 16 lbs down. I'm happy with my weight loss but, sometimes I just can't help but feel like I made the wrong decision by having the LapBand surgery.... I don't know....

Hey everybody I was banded 08/21/08 so I'm 17 days post op and 13 pounds down! I feel great but, I'm starting to get this sharp pain near my port incision.... is this normal ??

Well, I had my surgery yesterday morning. I am now part of "the band" lol. I'm doing pretty good just a little sore and gassy....

OMG! I'm so hungry... lol. I'm not sure what size band, I hope I get a 10cc it seems like there's more room to play around with. IDK

The meeting is tomorrw. I think it's at 6pm (but I could be wrong on the time.) What size band do you and your husband have?

I start my clear liquid pre-op diet tomorrow and my surgery is at 7:30am on Thursday.... starting to get nervous! What if this doesn't work and my mom (the one paying for my surgey) wastes all this money. I just haven't bee thinking about it this past week and a 1/2 but this weekend certainly made it a reality b/c we went to go but all my pre-op stuff.... ugh! I don't know

Yes, I will be attending them.

Just stay positive, it'll all be ok. To being healthy!

Wow! I'm geting excited for both of you... you guys will do great. I still have awhile I start my liquid diet on the 18th and have to check in at 5am on the 21st. I went to the nutrition class on the 4th and then went upstairs and paid all that money! It'll be worth it though. Let's all keep eachother updated since we are all doiing this around the same time and with Dr. Metz.

I'm starting to get really worried... my throat is starting to hurt, I have a bunch of mucus coming up, my nose is stuffy and I've just started coughing! :thumbup: What should I do to hurry up and get rid of this my surgery is August 21st?
