I did that 2 weeks ago. I got some awesome stuff at Soma

The amount of fluid doesn't really matter. They do calculate it out but just for my file.

I buy the bulk pack at Sam's but you can get them cheap at Target. They sell them individually in the health section. Just make sure that you look at the calories. SOme are more than others.

LOVE Luna bars. I keep them in my purse so if I am tempted I can just grab one.

It may be that you got filled to fast? It takes a while for the stomach to loosen.

Yams are hard because they are stringy. I have a hard time with artichoke hearts and asparagus for the same reason. Also have trouble with most meats, bread, and eggs off the top of my head.

I've seen a lot of these books and have always been interested!

better safe than sorry, get it looked at!

I agree more cals will help. I think your body is in starvation mode. Luna bars, greek yogurt, cheese all help me get my Protein and my cals!

I went to Dr Drahota at WLSC in OP. I swear by them. I have had 2 revisions with them and they work super hard to get the insurance results that you want. They have weight loss contests and truly feel like a family. We are having a support group Sat at 11. I will be there if you want to come check them out!

Though what you are eating is healthy it has a lot of salt. Try dropping your sodium for a few days and see if it helps.

Once you have slipped you will most likely continually slip. I slipped and slipped less than a month later. I had revision surgery about 3 weeks ago. Hope that helps.

If your not flying don't unfill. Play it safe and only eat what you know you can without pushing the envelope.

Its been less than a week since you were banded. Give it a bit of time and I am sure you will be happy with the results!

I noticed a difference when I started working out regularly. It seems like when it switches you can really tell. One morning I woke up I saw results and it got better and better from there.

Normal. The stuff that puts you to sleep also puts your intestines to sleep. Miralax works when you are ready. You can add it to water and it seems to be very gentle and effective.

Not sure if Mitch does fills out there but he is amazing, and the only one that I would fill with.

I just celebrated my one year band-versary. I never imagined my year to be this amazing!

I go to WL surgical center. Which location?

Any other symptoms? Do you have reflux? Metalic taste in your mouth? Heaviness in your chest? I've slipped/prolapsed twice.

You may want to try WL surgical center on 135th and 69 hwy.

Can you up your exercise? I am a bit overkill on the exercise BUT I do notice a HUGE difference now that I work out more. I don't count calories and I don't count fat. I count Protein. As long as I get 65 grams I am doing well. You are doing great! How much would you have gained in that year?

Your doctor's beside manner stinks but despite his rush I bet that the it went into your port. when the doc puts the needle in he pulls a tiny amount of the saline to make sure he's in the right place and then he pushes that plus more back in. Its done very quickly and they could probably do it in his sleep. Hope this helps. As for the month, if you feel like you need more make your appointment in three weeks instead but you may be surprised in the next few days by the swelling and restriction you may feel. Either way if your questions are not being answered you need to speak up. He very well may not know that you feel this way. I am to the point that I could care less how much time he spends with me though he will spend as much or as little time that he feels he needs to. The closer to your sweet spot he gets the more fact finding questions he will need to ask.

Sorry but if you wanted to stick to liquids the band surgery seems like it was not needed. Eventually the low cal/high sodium diet will catch up with you and your weight loss will slow.

I wear spanx as I feel that it helps with excess skin and getting my waist/midsection back into shape better.
