    Hi Beth Congratulations on getting the band and doing something for yourself, as teachers we always find ourselves doing for others and putting ourselves last. I am doing well, I am on the mushy food abd baked fish. I have not been on the scale yet because I was told the first month is for healing and once you have your first fill you should start loosing. Take Care. Where are ypu from and does your district pay for the band, just curious.:scared::clap2:

    Hi Mayomom Please tell me how to shop skinny:) I am in the missouri city area, not too far from pearland iwas banded by dr. spiegel on the 19th and I am hungry but can only have mushies and baked fish
  10. Hi Karyno I was banded on the 19th and it sounds like the pain you are having is prbally from the swelling of your port. I experience it from time time. I am currently on soft foods, I seem to be able to tolerate any soft food right now. I am allowed to eat baked fish and tuns, but continuue to follow your doctor's order. We are going to make it through this. Keep ypu head up! Where are your from?
  11. I was banded on 12/19 as well and I feel like a burning sensation right under my breast area is. I believe that is where the port is, but it feels weired too. Just curious where are you from?
  12. MS. Diet Quenn when you are paying privately, the process will move rather quickly. I paid for mine and there were no hassles or complications. Good Luck.
  13. I was also baned on the 19 and I had that same experience. I just continued taking the pain medication they gave me from the hospital, and for the most part it is gone. Where are you from I am from Houston. I hope my reply helps. Take Care!
  14. I researched that info and they said no liquid metphormin. I crush mine and take it with crystal light quickly.
  15. I read your thread and I believe I can help you personally with #2 on your list. I just need to figure out how to send you a private message, if you know how please let me know.
