  1. you might need an unfill looks like you are just not getting enough calories in..
  2. Are you lactose intolerant? that can be the cause of your diahrea. Slimfast ready to drink shakes have milk in them
  3. might want to wait on that fill since you do need more calories while breastfeeding
  4. That funny taste in your mouth was it "metalic" if it was you could be in ketosis might want to google that. I cup of food is preety good restriction what are you eating?
  5. maybe you are allergic to the adhesive on the tapes on your incisions I was. After I had my gallbladder out my incisions were soo itchy due to the tape/glue.
  6. O.k so this is probably not what you want to hear. I am also the mom to 3 children and i was looking into being banded. I have read through a lot of posts here and have made my decision not to go forth with the surgery. I know that I have to make smart choices when it comes to eating and I am going to stick to it. I have less than 100 lbs to loose and dont feel that the pros outweigh the cons. Loosing weight is easy staying commited and keeping it off is the hard part. I know I have to be healthy for my children. I got to thinking about all the complications associated with this surgery and how that would impact my kiddos. I have no comorbidities at the moment and I think that has been the main reason behind my decision. I also have a friend who has been banded for 3 years now and has reflux and a dialated esophagus. Those are two things that I don't want to sign up for.
  7. I like Muscle Milk Light the Banana Cream is my favorite Optimum Nutricion or ON is also a good buy IMO you could find these at GNC but they are cheaper online.
  8. I'm not sure I understand your question. Are you banded? I'm not, but have been contimplating the thought. In the meanwhile I have been dieting and excersing and have lost a couple of pounds. WLS isn't for everyone and sometimes the pros dont outweight the cons. Just my 2 cents.
  9. Check out my surgeon this is his website drjsalas.com he is in Tijuana he is a awesome doctor.
  10. I am too a binge eater.. wow I have never told anyone before. feels kind of weird admitting to it. I am also in the process of being banded not sure if I am going to go through with it though. I am going through the approval motions so I'm still interested.. I guess..
  11. Hi Debbie I think I am on the same boat as you are. I'm not sold on the idea of having something foreign implanted in me. My BMI is 40 no comorbidities other that back pain sometimes. I have been reading through this forum which by the way is the best IMO.I have tried every diet on this planet and have lost weight and always manage to regain it. I have been at my current weight for about 2 years now. So not gaining is good I guess just not loosing despite my best efforts is what scares me and what makes me want to consider WLS. I am going to a nutricion seminar on tuesday which is part of the approval process. I must still be interested huh..
  12. I think you might have misread the OP's post. You might want to go back and read it. The OP isn't whining about loosing weight too slow lolz!!!
  13. Glad to hear that you are feeling better.. so when are you being banded? I'm still not sure if it is something that I want to do. I'm going through the insurance hoops so i guess im still interested
  14. Sounds like you put yourself in a bad situation, Sucks that you have to work with this guy. So I'm assuming that he called it quits? What was his reasoning if you dont mind me asking other than he is a player?Try to stay busy and perhaps get rid off all the junk food in your house so that you don't have anything bad to snack on. Only time will help this out stay strong.
  15. So coochini because is makes your camel toe dissapear like Hoodini?
  16. I have had 3 BA's they have all been done with a spinal and light sedation I was awake through the whole process during my last one. I was chatting the doctors up it was preety cool
  17. look up his phone record and pull up a credit history maybe that apartment is leased out to him..
  18. I am on my 3rd boob job and still not banded yet lolz!!!
  19. Cytosport Muscle Milk Light is very yummy 26 grams of protein per serving my favorite is the Banana cream mix in a tsp of sugar free hersheys cocoa powder or 1 or 2 strawberries and your golden. You can also try 1 tbs of peanut butter and doll it up. But its good all by itself also
  20. I'm in Downey and I'm going to Cedar Sianai In LA not sure if I'm going to do it either still on the fence but I'm going through the work up so interested non the less lolz!!
  21. Don't worry too much, it will be over quick.. endoscopies are done under some light sedation so you wont feel a thing. Just noticed you're local.. where are you having your surgery at?
  22. I think at that point it must be head hunger not the real deal. I know we all have food issues hence why we are all having this drastic surgery.
  23. You are going to be just fine put in your earbuds get a good stretch and then pound that pavement girl...
  24. This is my favorite girdle. I wear it a lot its a bit pricey but worth every dime you can find it at www.lipoexpress.com I have the classic It fits like a second skin and its crotchless so easy access when you gotta go. here is the direct link to the one i have LIPOEXPRESS
  25. Has anyone on this thread thought of the posibility that maybe the lube was for the neighbors husbands tucus. Just a thought there are some naughty men out there...
