Flintstones Gummies. But take 2 instead of one.They tase better then most gummie candy I have tasted.

Congrats on your approval. I can imagine how happy you are. I hope everything works out the way you want it to.:ohmy:

You need more protein babes.

I am not a smoker and I have never been. I don't even know why it is a requirement to stop smoking in order to get the lapband. What I do know is that most of us had the lapband done for health reasons; and some to improve their look. Isn't that the same reason why people quit smoking? Why would you do one with out the other?

I had my surgery on Nov 3rd as well. My cycle is NEVER late(unless I am prego) I was so scared but I was not sure why being that my hubby is over seas and I haven't had sex.. Funny huh. Well I to haven't had my cycle. I talked to my Doc and he said that sugery can some times throw your cycle off track. News to me. but maybe that is what is happening to us.

With out all the extras. The answer is yes. The more restriction you have the less you will be able to get in, unless you expand your tummy. But it is not healthy as you guys already know. But hell what is healthy now a days!!!!

Kossde, How in the heck did you lose so much weight? I have been banded since Nov 3rd. 08 and I have only lost 11 pounds and put 5 of them back on..

I am so pissed that Thanks Giving is 2 days away. I went shopping for all the food and everything; thinking that todays appointment was only going to be a post op follow up. I even called and asked 3 days ago. The nurse said I would not have a fill. Well guess what. The doc put in 4 cc. into my 8 cc band. That is not the problem at all. I was actually very thankful.... until his decided to put me back on a liquid diet for 3 DAYSSSS.. That means no Thanks Giving food for me. I want to lose the weight more then anything. But ohhh I could taste that food in my mouth.. This is so bitter sweet.

I am working out alittle walking long walks at a higher speed. That is why I am so surprised. I was looking at the weight that you all lost and it seems about the same as mine. I guess I am not doing as bad as I thought. Thank you guys so much. I will post again and let ya'll know how I am doing.

I just had my surgery on Nov. 3 rd. I lost some weight the first week or so, but since I have gained 2 pounds. I dont know what is wrong. I can eat any kind of food and it takes me almost the same amount to get full as before the surgery. I called my Docs. office to tell them what was going on but his nurse told me to stop eating so much! I mean if it were that easyl I would not have gotten the surgery. I am working the best I can ( I am still alittle sore) so I should be dropping something. I am so stressed this almost seems worthless. The nurse also said that I haven't gotten a fill so that is why I am eating as much. Gosh I dont know if I might be one of that percent that the lapband doesn't work for. I feel like crying so hard. Can someone tell me if this is at least kinda normal. Am I expecting to much to soon?

I also have this drink and I love it!

I lost 15 pounds since Nov 3rd. Hey yall I slept on my belly last night. It was the greatest sleep I have gotten in awhile.!!!:thumbup:

I have teicare and I didnt have anyhealth problems other then being over weight. I was 225 at 5'1". I didnt have a problem getting appproved as a matter of fact my I got approved 1 weeks after I saw the surgon the first time.

I am now over my dry mouth and it is 3 days into my banding. Thank God that was pretty gross.:rolleyes2:

I got banded on the 3 rd. as well. Be happy that you can use the bathroom cause it is better thennot pooping. I have not gone at all it sucks. I was not hungry the first day but of course I was drugged up. But when I got homw I was so hungry. I sipped on water and shakes but last night I couldnt take it any more so I ate a bit of peanut butter. It helped a lot. This morning I started with water and half an egg. which by the way took for ever to ate. I know this is not the way the Dr. wants us to do it. But people are different and I was wake and dizzy. Now with that 1/2 egg I feel great. Just hang in there it will get better.
