  1. I have the same thing. It has been about a week now. I called the doctor and he did not seem concerned asked me if I wanted to wait a couple days then come see him. I made an appointment but cancled it today as I decided maybe I was over reacting. I see him on the 23rd so will bring it up then just hoping it will go away.
  2. That is too funny "it's the meth" I too have people ask if I'm sick. Never thought they would be saying I'm a druggie to funny. I just tell everyone I eat lots of protien and exersice.
  3. Sounds like you two need unfills or new docotors. My doctor says you should never be sick unless you eat wrong and I find that true. I do miss eating sometimes like I use to but I don't miss the feeling of unhealthy. I would never trade this experince for anything and if anyone ask if they should do this, I would say do your research as it is a life change not a fade diet!
  4. When the scale didn't move for me for a month I increased my water and within two days I was down two pounds. I have noticed if I don't keep track of my fuilds I don't lose.
  5. Job well done !!!! I have 8 pounds to go before I can do that dance--heck I'm not sure I know how to dance but we will see LOL
  6. Good new!!!! Now her take you shopping and give half the hangers back LOL
  7. I wish you the best of luck! Hope you get to the Zone this time!
  8. I had a fill this morning at 10:00am. I drink water at the doctors office just fine. Now at 3:30pm I feel really tight and just a sip of water makes me feel full. How long should I wait to see if it's just swelling or I'm to tight and call the doctor.
  9. I feel your pain I was at Kohls yesturdsay as they were having a bra sale. Was hard finding one I liked and fit well.
  10. http://www.vitalady.com/index.htm this site has samples you can order from all different brands. I ordered here before I started so I knew what I wanted. I used BSN lean desserts I love all the flavors-- they make great drinks with water or milk and if you use less liquid they are thick like pudding. They don't smell like alot of protien. Once I knew what brand and flavor I wanted I searched for the cheapest prices and bought these from Amazon for a very cheap price. Hope this is helpful for some and good luck to everyone!
  11. I was banded 11/17/10 and had my first fill 12/28/10. I was a walk in the park. I felt a small prick like when you get blood work then nothing. He put in 4cc, had me drink Water and sit there for 20 minutes. I was fine and I have little restriction but hopefully my next one will be more which is on 1/26/11. Good luck to you!
  12. Maybe you will get lucky and not have to do it after sugery. I didn't have to do one thank godness!
  13. My surgeon had me take them two weeks after surgery for inflammation of my ribs. I had to crush them and let me tell you they taste bad! No matter what I put them in they taste bitter. Call your surgeon and ask if you can take them. I would never take anything without asking first.
  14. I bougt a bottle of Vitafusions today and I will never have to chew chalk again. These are the best!!! Thank yoy guys who said to try them. I don't think they are as strong but hey they tatse good!
