The protein shake I'm using is called wheybolic 60 - I get it from GNC & mix one pack with 12oz of water. It has 60 grams of protein in it so that's all I have to drink during the day...and I love that! It doesn't taste terrible...certainly wouldn't be my first choice if they left it up to me, but all things considered it's not so bad. I'm having a hard time sticking to the "diet." I have actually taken several bites of stuff I'm not suppose to have which makes me wanna kick my self in the a$$...I gotta get control of these cravings! How are you doing with the diet? What week are you on now? What are you eating?

Gurl i'm doing well! I'm 3 weeks out, eating regular foods, just got a yrs gym membership so i'm working out and losing no weight, yet! I'm still 260lbs. I have a doc apt. On sept. 29th so i hope i get a fill, my doc don't give em out like that! I'm also training for my 1st 5k on sept. 26th! I will be posting pics!

I really think that I may end up getting 1/2cc taken out b/c its been a week now and I cant eat more than 2 to 3 bites of anything. Im not understanding why 2 1/2 ccs is kickn azz like this. Ive got to family reunions this weekend, and its lookn like Im going to be sneaking off sipping on soups. OMG. As the co workers, of girl they gettn bold askn me. Ive been telling them Ive been practicing portion control and workn out, they just be like oh........... well you lookn good

hey wussup! I had my fill last week and it was not painful. Just when they numbed my stomache hurt a lil but its nothing serious...good luck with ur fill

hey gurl..I got my date as soon as I told them I had everything. They held onto it until my insurance approved me. So then that date became official. So u should ask them if they can hold a date for you. My insurance took about a week and a half to 2 weeks to approve me

Hi there Rhonda! Finally got my PC back on track, just in time for my operation... 3 days from now! Wow, not long to go... excited! Thanks for the notes

Aww yeah that would be great. I see we have alot of similarities :-) I have two boys too! 13 & 6. You can email me anytime joyhatchett@comcast.net Im on FB too. If you want we can do a check in on each other to keep our booties in check! How are you doing with exercise. In the last week alone I hve come up with at least 10 different excuses--I need new workout shoes, and pants, Im tired. So You Think You Can Dance is on I cant miss that, the boys want to go to the pool...blah blah blah I used up all my excuses this week so I have to bite the bullet and GO.

Hi mommato4, this is the first time i have sent a message on this web site. just joined a couple of days ago. hope i am doing this right. i dont know anything about a program fee. in fact never heard of it. my insurance paid for the procedure so dont know anything about it. I was very happy with Dr. Simpson and his staff. They treated me really well. I wish the very best for you. The only advice that i can give you is to get that first filling as soon as you can. i am 4 weeks post surgery and am eating every thing in sight. The lack of will power hit me about 3 days ago. I don't get my first fill until june 30. I am feeling so much better now and you sure can tell by my appetite. Keep me in formed. If you have any more questions, let me know. Carolynn

Good to hear you are doing so well. My surgery was also at 8:45 and I was released around 11. The gas is mostly in my left shoulder and side of my neck. But I am walking back and forth in the condo and it seems to be helping. I see my doctor on July 6th. I am on liquids until tomorrow and then full liquids for 10 days. I can't believe you get to eat pureed already. You go girl.

I am in North Miami, FL. I just visited my twin sister in Great Neck NY for a week at Memorial Day. I go up every year - we call it our twins weekend. It is just the girls and it is a great get away. My husband holds down the fort here.

Please keep in touch since we are now band-sisters. My name is Eileen, by the way.

thanks girl! I jus added 2 more new 1's...I think our new goal should be to drop 15-20 pounds b4 our 1 yr anniversry! lol thats 5 pounds per week for 4 weeks, I think we can do it..wut do u think??

That was actually last week....

Hi Carly...Remember chatting with me a week or so ago? I am now 10 days post op and doing well. I didn't lose anything the first week, probable due to swelling and healing. But now I am down 8 lbs since surgery. When are you getting banded?

Hey MellBell - my one and only LapBandTalk friend! How do you do? I just had to tell somebody that I'm on my way. I am so excited! 3 monthly dietitian evals, 1 psych eval, 3 weeks of nutrition classes and surgery likely in October! It's really happening!

Thanks for the friend request and good luck with your journey.

Amanda

hello, it has been a crazy week. The fill was easier than I thought I only got 2cc"s for my first fill. I go back July 14. I think I need more I am hungry within 3 hours of eating. Now that I am eating solids I have gain a few pounds which has me scared. I also have been working out a min of 1 hour a day.
