I go Nov 3 for my first fill ive lost 23 lbs, but i seem to gain 2 or 3 lbs up down never more than that ! ive been banded since July 22nd,2006 im worried, and i really dont eat alot, i mean i do eat more since first banded, but not really alot. just wondering, any body out except me ?:faint:

coffee makes some people retain water. I know if i drink it everyday i will gain water weight, but thats just me.:think

Ha, Im going to Dallas to get my Band filled in Nov, Does it hurt ? And, How long does it take, The nurse mentioned fluro, What is that ? also, will i have to drink my protien Drinks and can i still eat solid foods ? just wondering .

No as of right now, I have had know luck, I may end up going back to Dr Jose, But, I really did not want to travel that far to get a fill, but if i have to i will, if you find one let me know, i would greatly appreciate it alot, the Dr's here dont want to because of liability. Good Luck

Il ooked online, and went to the GNC . I got me some Protein Shake, They didnt have zero carb isopur in stock gotta wait. Thanks for sharing that with me...Virginia

I have lost 16 lb's so far, I've been eating normal foods, sometimes in the morning i drink 20 grams of protien shake to get my protiens, then sometimes i eat lunch sometimes i dont, but when i do i eat. I eat normal food for lunch and dinner, the only thing im afraid to eat is salad and light breads,pasta,chips, i do eat cheese puffs. i was told not to eat pasta WHY ? I know why not to eat the light breads, But ! what is everyone else eating out there Thanks ....Virginia :help:

Just wanted to say I think your very gorgeous ! I seen your pic's of before your surgery and after. If i look like you "WOW". Keep up the good work ! ...Virginia:)

:omg: I Dont know about Biotin, But supposely Zinc is good for hair loss and skin, and B vitamin's. Ive joined the crowd with hair loss, make sure you drink and eat your protiens !!! at GNC they have powdered protien mixes that taste pretty good, i get 20 grams sometimes and 40 grams.this should help.......Virginia

Everything will be okay, Just take it slow and easy...Protien shakes are great ! and i like cambell's beef soup the kind you heat and sip, there great ! and helps when your craving protien. Good Luck !!!...Virginia:)
