I don't yet but I am sure I will be soon at the rate that you are losing!

I as well has my DH are mourning his loss. I have to say I am mourning the loss of his childhood, his tormented life, his children, and the MJ of the 80's. His music reminds my husband of seeing him in Germany, and it reminds me of all the good he has done. We are the world is one that comes to mind. He will be missed, just as Anna Nicole was(also a whackjob), but he left a legacy just as Elvis did.

The food that you can not imagine eating again? The food you can not seem to stay away from, though you know you should? Your favorite food right now? Your favorite recipe? I can not imagine eating chinese and mexican ever again. I had fried chicken last night(breast, whitemeat, skin off) and I feel terrible. I did try to stick to potatoes and salad. chocolate and Starbucks will kill me. My favorite food right now are roll ups. Lunchmeat and cheese rolled up and cut into 3rds. I eat 2 pieces of cheese and 2 pieces of lunch meat this way and I find it very filling and a way to get my Calcium and some Protein in. As for favorite recpies I am at a loss, hoping for some good ones!

My first cycle after banding was odd. It was longer than usual. Try stepping up the iron in your foods, or if it gets to be worse see if you can get the OK for an iron supplement from your doctor.

I was banded 5/5 and got my first period since my banding. Its heavy and is not slowing down like it usually does. I've called my OB and he wants me to wait till Monday, but I am wondering if it is a coincidence and that it has nothing to do with the banding. Is anyone else having issues?

Check out etsy.com They have a ton of stuff at all prices.

I had my first fill a little over a week ago. I go in again today for another one. She told me to try the fill(almost 6 cc's) and to come back in 2 weeks if there was little restriction. I called to make an appointment and they can see me today.

Anyone have this? It seems like when I get full I get an extreme amount of drool. Nothing foamy or anything but it almost is my alert that I am full.

DH makes the best shakes. One bananna, a scoop of whey protein(chocolate), peanut butter, skim milk and ice. Blend. AMAZING!

my office charges $250

the pink grapefruit is actually a powder similar to crystal light. I love it because it isn't so sweet

I love lapband talk but wondered about the realize band site that tracks your progress.

Anyone using this site? If so what do you think?

I have an 11cc realize band and was just filled to almost 6 cc's at my first fill yesterday

Congrats on your accomplishment! Try Ocean Sprays pink grapefruit. You can buy it in those tubes and add it to water. It isn't too sweet. Also I swear by special K's vitamin water.

I was banded on 5/5 and had my first fill today. I had 5.85cc's put in which sounds like alot. I haven't really thought of food today so I guess that is good!

I am the night before my first fill. Do I stop eating before a certain time? I have pretty much done liquids all day today. Also will I feel up to running around after the fill? I am trying to plan my time after the fill. Any words of wisdom? Thanks!

I have lost 12 pounds and was banded on 5/5. My first fill is a week from today(6/8).

If having a 15K+ surgery isn't going to change her, than sadly nothing you say can change her. She has to make the change, otherwise she will continue to revert to her old habits.

The V8 soups look amazing but my doc specifically asked for me to stay away from High Fructose corn syrup and they all have that in them. the soup recipe looks great and pretty healthy too!

I went to Weight loss Surgical Center and Dr Drahota did my surgery. I have heard fantastic things about Dr Malley, but my insurance didn't cover him.

I am in Overland Park Kansas and was banded on 5/5 of this year. Anyone else close?

When did you guys start riding bikes again? My kids are wanting to ride and I was banded on 5/5. Any idea when it would be safe again?

I was banded on 5/5 and still get really tired? Is this normal? I could seriously nap every afternoon if I had the time.

I had disolving stitches, no staples here.
