Humming Bird

I sometimes have the same problem with constipation and as I have stated before, I have a pretty tight band right now. Remember it is very common for bandsters to only have a BM every few days. I find it very helpful to keep a calendar and a pen next to the toilet. I just circle the date when I go. This way I can keep track. If it's been several days, I eat a prune or take a childrens laxitive strip. I was thinking about trying Activia yogurt. Has anyone tried it? Does it work?

BT did you get a surgery date yet?

I think I am going to face the same problem. I have not had health ins. for several years now. I was turned down a couple years ago by one company when I was 230lbs because of my weight. After that I balooned up to 264lbs. Now I am under 200. I hope you get some good info here that I can use too

I was banded 7/09/09 and have dropped 68 pounds so far .... maybe 69 in the morning, as I have been at 68 for a few days. I've had 2 fills and have had pretty tight restriction since Sept. I am very pleased with my progress so far. I feel so much thinner already !! Whoo Hoooo !! I have gone from wearing very tight size 2X scrubs to work to very loose size Large right now. Mediums here I come!

lite liquid yogurt smoothies.... fast and easy...grab and go

Rascal........... (rascal 1.one that is playfully mischievious. 2. An unscrupulous person: scoundrel ) hehe

So you fell off the wagon. Get back on and don't look back!!!! and get a fill . There is no way you could eat what you did with proper restriction.

I had some of the same problems you have including major weight gain after hysterectomy. You will be so happy to be off all those meds much quicker than you think. The only negative I have had is thinning hair. They say it will stop at some point and start growing back in.

loved "the Sweet Spot" and your new pics!!! WOW! You look really great!

I loved reading this and can relate to most of what you said! Congrats on the great weightloss !!!

That stuff is so bad!!! OMG!! I had to take it before a colonoscopy years ago. I feel for you. It tastes bad and ........ I did not have to do it before band surgery though. They gave me a suppository to use the night before surgery and said it way optional.

Pierced ..............

After last night I can't stand the red team or the green. There is no need to be such beoches.

Fasting (going totally without) is too drastic. You will get plenty of a jump start with full liquids for a couple days. Let us know how you do and keep visiting LBT for support and ideas.

Factual ..........

I like google maps because of the street view feature.

I go for pretty much any brand, but can only stand the taste of strawberry/banana. I can eat peach sometimes.

:thumbup: Hell, I would give my left or right or both nuts to be 23 again, but I don't have any nuts, so I guess I'm stuck!

Hey Fireman, I am happy for you with the becoming more male and the loss of the man boobs. :wink: I am not so happy with my shrinking woman boobs though :eek: I guess it's the price I pay to get rid of all the excess in other places.

The Band works for me too !! Whoo Hoo ! I am so happy with my weight loss ! :wink::eek:
