i was banded jan 20th,and have been getting my period every other month since,so i guess its normal to have irregular periods

as long as yo can tolerate it then i say go for it!i drink a diet soda now and then,BUT,i let it sit for a bit so its not as fizzy..

i get them also,but i went to my doctor and got a antibiotic ointment that clears it right up,but then its back again a few days later

i am going on my 6th fill and still no restriction,how come i am not feeling any yet.this is really upsetting to me......

go ahead and have your coffee,the reason the doc says not to have it is because it can dehydrate you and irritate your belly,but if you can handle it,go right ahead.i have my coffee every morn and i have no problems.test it and see how it affects you

well if it helps any,i have totally sabataged myself these pat few weeks(emotional eating)due to some issues i am having.i dont eat alot at one sitting,just through out the day and eating things i shouldnt,like cheese cake that i bakede last week.i'm not one to talk right now,but try to have a little more willpower. goodluck you

i hear ya! well good luyck to you....

thats what happens when we arent careful,its not only embarrasing but its painful

thanks guys,i'll be more cautise(spelled wrong)from now on but man did it hurt

please,please please pay attention to your chewing!i dont want anyone going through what i went through yesterday.i thought i had chewed good but guess what??it wouldnt go dow nor did it come up...it hurt like holy hell.so ,my fellow banders,pay attention to how good you chew.good luck to you all in your weight loss journey

oops,thats medicare

i have misicare and i had a 6 month nothing....i did have to lose a few lbs,but that was too shrink the liver in prep for the surgery.and of course you need all those appointments to get cleared.however my surgery was medically needed

i drink my coffee every morning(a whole pot) as long as your stomache is not irritated from it'and you dont feel dehydrated then go for it,doctors arent always right

yes it was.......

why on earth would you do that when you know you have to be on liquids for a day or 2 after the fill>?

i went out to eat 2 weeks ago and could fit into a booth,with room to spare.i felt like a million bucks....

i only have to do liquids the first day,and i do not eat before i go to get the fill

no, i dont.but whatever it is its working as i am down 10lbs since the 7th.good luck to you....

i buy mine at cvs pharmacy for 14.99 a bag,and its pretty good.i get the chocolate flavored

sugar has empty calories thats why...we dont need them we have enough trouble getting the calories that we need

take a stool softener

i was born in neptune,raised in bradley beach...

kepping in touch would be nice.where in jersey are you

i drank coffe before and after.coffee is something i refused to give up.if it dosnt bother your stomache then i say drink it!

i had my third fill a little over aweek ago and feel gret as well.i weighed in at 229 and am down to 222lbs.i started out weighing 268Lbs for a total of 46 lbs lost since jan 20th.good luck in your journey
