It seems like alot of people on here only need to lose like 60-100lbs, but I need to lose close to 200 and I hope its in reach for me... has anyone lost close to this much? I feel like i have a huge journey ahead of me, and i was banded 1-11-11.. Lots of hard work I hope i can reach my goal!!

I second the BEER... Everything else goes down fine, and even though there is a bit of diversity about carbonation, and beer doesnt hurt my tummy,I'm gonna live without it. Anyone for some shots???!! -

my feelings are hurt from the forum
Steph951 replied to oceangirl6's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
For the rib pain, I had it too and it came whenever itwanted too and had nothing to do with food or drinking, I would put my arm up across the couch and kinda lean on the couch on the side that hurt, if that makes sense... But it went away after the fourth week, knock on wood -

Why do we need calcium supplements?
Steph951 replied to amberakamom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Citrate is easier for your body to absorb, otherwise you'd have to take other vitamins to help your body absorb it -
It didn't hurt but it was uncomfortable. I was numbed and he was pushing on my stomach hard to find my port. I had a bruise after.. No biggie I'm ready for more
