  2. Happy 24th Birthday LeeM!

  3. 1 years has passed since you registered at LapBandTalk! Happy 1st Anniversary LeeM!

  4. I'm having the same issue. My best friend who dated this guy for a week, just came over this weekend cause I had to be the first person she told she was pregnant. Which she was upset about and I had to try and be there for her even though I was sad cause its another friend I have to see have a baby before me. And I know its selfish of m but its so hard. I was really debating just giving it another try, but I'm only almost 3 months post-op and have dropped alittle over 30lbs but I still have another 70-80 pounds to lose. The sad part is the one thing thats stopping me right this moment is I'm getting married October 2011 and want to fit into my dress I purchased at a going out of business sale a couple weeks ago. So I totally feel your pain but both our times will come and when It does it will be perfect!

    Halloween Challenge

    This sounds fun! I'm down for the challenge. In for -19lbs. GOod luck everyone.
  6. So I was banded on Aug 31 and up until today I've just had normal pain with incision sites and the pain latest longer then I thought it would. But I also had a hernia repaired during surgery so not sure if thats why. Today I went for a short walk and was fine. THen this afternoon when my step daughter out riding her scoo ter as I was walking with her the pain started and it was a very sharp and uncomfortable feeling , that comes and goes. I think it maybe be port pain?? I wanted to see if anyone had same pain, before I called the doctors on the weekend. I'm going Monday to get my staples removed. I'm hoping the pain will be gone before then because I can't take it anymore. Thanks in advance for any advice or thoughts.
  7. Banded on Aug 31 2010, 8 days post-op. Have lost 23 lbs since start of liquid diet on August 21st!~ Good work everyone!
  8. Thats funny I was just at Target and bought the Pure Protein cookies N Creme and LOVED IT! They also make a protein shot that is grape flavored has lots of protein!
  9. Thanks everyone for the many choices, I will have to try them all!! Last night I tried unjury and it wasn't so bad.
  10. sorry you are not feeling well. I was done on 8/26. I was on high protein drinks before and after too for three weeks. I get over 90 grams of protein by drinking whey protein "shakes". You can buy the powder at rite aid or maybe walmart. I also am on 1000 mg. of vitamin c for healing as well as multi and calcium and prescription vit. D once a week. Maybe you need more protein?? good luck:)

  11. Hey All! So I'm 5 days post-op and I'm having trouble finding a good Protein powder to use. They all taste so gross. Anyone have one they really like?
  12. It took my insurance 2 days to approve! Good luck with banding!

  13. I was banded on Aug 31 and I have experienced lots of gas pain in my shoulder and chest. I feel like someone is sitting on my chest and I get this feeling like I need to burp but can't. I've tried gas-x and it doesn't seem to work as well as others said it would. I'm hoping by tomorrow it will be gone.

    5 days post-op

    I was banded on Aug 31 and I've felt horrible since. Yesterday was better and today is worse, I thought my staples came undone today but I think its just the area where my port is and its sore. I'm not able to eat much and I know I'm not getting anywhere near the amount of protein they want me to have. I live off of carnation instant breakfasts,oatmeal,cream of wheat,popsicles and broth. I start classes on Tuesday and I'm hoping I will feel 100%..I didn't think after 5 days I would feel so gross.
  15. I'm getting my Band on August 31 and I'm hoping to try to get pregnant after 6 months or so. I've been trying for about a year and I really hope its just the weight making it hard for me to have children. Does anyone have any advice about how long to wait or how it affects the band?
