  1. My name is Ida and I'm a scale addict!!! Ha, ha. I must admit, I've tried all these scale tricks. Standing on the edge, standing on one foot. Moving the scale an inch up or down, left or right, and hopping back on. I will say though that I only consider the weight at the doctor's office official.
  2. I was banded on 12/17/09. For the past two weeks I've been experiencing extreme sweating under my belly fold (even though it's getting smaller) and in the crease of my groin. Anyone experiencing this. It's SO annoying. I never experienced this even in the summer and now is the dead of winter!!
  3. Hi Bama! I'm having the same problem. I had to use some Miralex. It worked like a beauty. I'm just so alarmed by this because I used go at least once a day, more depending on what I ate.
  4. Hi Jem: I am a nurse as well. I returned to work and 1/5 and the first day I was exhausted when I got home. Although I wasn't hungry I was actually missing the mechanics of chewing. I did find that work help to think about it less.
  5. I'm so going to try this. I have Starbucks sugar-free vanilla and hazelnut syrups. I'll use decaf because I haven't had any caffeinated beverages since before pre-op diet.:tt1:
  6. I've done 15 of my 40 mile goal. Yeah!!:tt1:
  7. I have Leslie Sansone walking DVDs and some Firm DVDs. I was banded on 12/17/09 and I recently started with these DVDs. I also joined the gym since I don't have the space or money for the kind of treadmill I need. I will start at the gym tomorrow.
  8. I completed three miles today. I just was curious to see how everyone is planning to getting their miles in (walk, jog, bike, etc).
  9. Thanks so much for that information. I bought one for my kids when it first came out and i've been dying to try it. I will now.
  10. I was banded on Dec 17th. I would like to join this group. I'm going for 40 miles.
  11. I use the injury. I have the Vanilla (which I mix with skim milk), the strawberry sorbet (which I mix with either water or lemon juice), and the chicken soup. I send away for the samples first. The chicken soup is a little salty to my taste. I also like the Chike flavors but they cost significantly more.
  12. Hi all, You know I relay on this website for a wealth of info. I was banded on 12/17. I don't know what slider food is.. please help?
  13. Alli try your best to ignore them it's worth it!!!! I was banded Thursday afternoon. I am having some gas discomfort and soreness of my throat and stomach but I feel 90% better. I remember on day 10 of pre-op diet my son came through the door crunching on these doritos. I heard that crunch all the way in my bedroom which is all the way in the back of the house!!
  14. Good morning, Today is my second day post-op. I still have soreness in my abdominal area but it is less than it was yesterday. The beginning of last night I was so uncomfortable because I had to try to find a new way to sleep. (I usually sleep on my stomach) I did buy a travel size pillow to help with my stomach discomfort before hand and it works. I'm not really hungry but i do have to tell myself to go the bathroom to pee. Is anyone else experiencing that? The thing that hurts the most is my throat!!! Good Luck to all!!!
  15. I like the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Vanilla (with nonfat dry milk) and Unjury strawberry Sorbet (with water).!!
  16. Hi Everyone!!! It's good to see you back Karyn!! My surgery date was changed to 12/17/09 and I have my insurance approval (I was so worried)! I have lost 8lbs so far on my pre-op liquid diet. Just tried Unjury Vanilla in non-fat dry milk and was pleased. Good luck to all being banded this week! :thumbup:
  17. I slept a lot today. This is my second day!!
  18. I start my preo-op liquid diet tomorrow! I don't know what to expect but I'm up for the challenge.
  19. I'm being banded on 12/15/09
  20. I wish you all the best and hope your tests come back normal!
  21. Hi Nola!! Kurian is doing me surgery on Dec 15th! I live in Brooklyn too. Let's try to keep each other informed!
