I thought the same thing. too funny.

So I started my liquid diet this morning and everything was going great till about 6 pm. I got the worst gas I have ever had. It was followed with a small dose of the runs. I cant do this for 5 days. Any thoughts?????????

k. day 2 . the gas is better, but not good. I did 1 less protein shake today an dI dont feel like I am going to explode. Maybe it will be better tomorrow.

I have heard that the aftercare is very important. Good luck with your journey.

I know I cant take any anti inflamitorys, can I take imodium to stop the runs?

SO, I get banded on 8-4-11 and I have 75 lbs to loose. I want to come up with a reward for myself for when I reach my goal weight. Has anyone else done this? I was thinking a cruise, or a vacation somewhere. I NEED SOME SUGESTIONS. WHAT DID YOU DO??:party:

I start mine tomorrow. I am liquids only for 5 days. I get banded on 8-4. I tried Truvia today on my strawberries. Tomorrow I will put them in the blinder w/ my shakes. Truvia was better than I thought it would be. Good luck with your journey.

We ended up at Outback. I thought I did pretty good considering. I tried not to let my brain control the meal. I had a salad w/ no dressing, baked potato w/ no sour cream, and a steak w' crab legs. It was GOOD!!

keep us updated. I go in 1 week from today. good luck with everything.

Tks for all the great sugestions. I have talked about a lift already. I think that should be my gift from my husband to my husband. hehehehe.

.that is sooo great. We just got married last May. I pretty sure that I could not talk him into another wedding so soon. Good luck. Im sure those pics you will share.

tks.

So I have a surgery date of 8-4-11. I start my liquid diet on 7-30-11. My dr told me that anything that I could start now would only help me later. So I am having a shake for breakfast every morning along with a chewable multi vitamin. i have had a headache every day since I have started this. Any ideas????????

So I get banded in 9 days. I know that I am going to have to start exercizing and I am not looking forward to it. My wonderful husband ( who can eat anything and still wears the same size he wore in HS) is helping me with lifting weights 3 times a week. I have an eliptical, but that thing hurts. We also bought a Wii fit. I use it once in a while. I have never liked to exercize and i'm not sure how to modivate myself to WANT to exercize. I am hoping that when I start to drop a few pounds, it will inspire me. Anyone else been there???? :idea:

Hi from Hurst. I wish I could help. You might repost with "rash" as the topic and see if you get any responce. I am being banded in 8 days. WOO HOO. Congrats with your weight loss.

good luck. I get banded in 8 days.

cool. Ill try that.

I know it will come eventually. My son is 17, and has his own " Life" ( you know how they can be). My foot dr told me to stay off the tread mill because I have bone spures in both heals. Thas why I got the eliptical. I did Curves for a while, but everyone up there was in their 60-70's. I felt really out of place. I feel like i'm giving excuses. Hopefully it will turn around. Tks for the chat.

woooo hooooo. Gotta love the honesty of kids. Great job. :D

wooo hoooo. great job. :lol:

I have had that before. After my shower and after I dry off very good, I put a layer of baby powder before I put on my panties. It keeps it from rubbing. It went away after a few days. Good luck.

tks guys. Hopefully this will pass. I do have my 1 cup of coffee every morn, but my headaches dont kick in till about 11-12. At one point I thought it was a hunger headache. Anyway, I will fight through it. Good luck to you both. :lol:

Can I just say how much I love this Powder Room. I am fairly new to this site and am being banded 8-4-11. I really appreciate all the honesty and the questions that get asked here in what feels like a "safe zone". I really feel like I have "sisters" that I can ask that will be honest and give great advice. Thank you!!!! We all need that.

I like the GNC lean shake. With vanilla, you can add anything and make it whatever flavor you want.
