my skin is not dry i cocca butter and lotion everyday but since ive started losing weight my stomach is peeling not ichy or anything but peeling around my past stretch marks could they be disapperaing soon doctor not sure just said due to losing weight i use cocca butter cream and oil and aveno lotion everyday does any body have any idea. i do drink plenty of water too.

fern i would imagine its from the hv you were on in hopsital i gained it to 4 pounds. but lost that and some more when got home good to hear your doing good. ive had alot of gas pains but walking really helps. i was banded last thursday one week ago today.

i totally understand i did sleep in my bed last night its getting better but its still there. i did have a bm the day after surgery i do tend to feel hungry but ill tell you its like my stomach nows when that hours up lol i no carnation instant breakfast has been filling me up ( who thought 4oz would) lol ( KIT)

i was banded thurday march 18th everything went well no complaints about anything. but i will tell you the gas pains i had were pretty intense my back and shoulder and chest still have that issuse its getting better but boy it has its moments i've walked so much and had the heating pad on it and had gas x but its still there. its hard to sleep last night i was up every hour. feeling better this morning hopefully its going away. how long does this last. other then that it was a piece of cake o ya and the soar throat. i have gained four pounds in the hopstial but yesterday it said i lost the four plus another 3 pounds i no i shouldnt be looking on the scale but come on i had to take a peak. lol

does anybody take a batriatric ( celebrate muti chewable) vitamin not sure what i should get.

I'll be banded next week march 18th o boy. my docotors have no problem with me drinking crystal light it may just depend on the persron. i drink it now and love it.
