Welcome to Onederland

Good luck for the surgery, hope all goes well

I got through my liquid stage without any protein shakes at all and still dont use them. I prefer protein from whole food and stick to that. In the UK there isnt the emphasis on protein shakes like the US and we are all still alive and healthy . 6 days to go .. just muddle through, and do what u can to get your daily amounts eaten if u dont manage it dont beat yourself up over it, nothing will happen to u in such a short time

Good luck and hope everything goes smoothly for you ... have a speedy recovery and enjoy the rest

U need to do some good cardio ( u need to make yourself sweat )followed by some resistance / strength training, you might not be eating enough calories, most people who need to count the calories eat between 1000 and 1200 per day, so change something small and try that for a few days. Make sure you reduce your salt intake otherwise u will retain some fluid if u are drinking lots .. maybe add some tea or coffee with skimmed milk as a filler in between meals .. that will give u a little more protein and calories without going overboard

Every morning and record weight every sunday morning. I got to 400lbs by not using the scales am not gonna go there again. Accountability keeps you on track...

Way to go Selma good luck with the fills and losing the weight again. I wish you happiness and success

U can get enough protein from other fluids, greek yoghurt mixed with skimmed milk, home made green veg soup with loads of frozen peas ( stick blended to a liquid ) u need to follow doctors instructions tho, if he says shakes only then just find one that suits you. maybe some atkins drinks / meal replacement would taste better ...

A big Ditto

Gratz on the weight loss, not long to go now till u reach your goal

I too am allergic to any of the adhesive they use on strips and dressings, they used glue on the insicions and no dressings , the wounds healed fine. Call your doctor and ask if they can be removed now, u stand a chance of not healing whilst your skin is under an allerigic reaction.. I am doing patch tests at the moment to try out different makes of skin closures and dressings ready for my body lift in 2 months .. am allergic to all so far .. sigh ! Allergy is only on my body tho not arms legs etc.. good luck

The more junk food you eat the more you will crave it, get rid of it out of the freezer and house. If you are hungry still then snack on food that is good for you not on food that is unhealthy and addictive. It isnt called junk food for nothing good luck !

Instead of concentrating on what you cant eat people should stay focused on what they can eat and enjoy that ..

I never took pain meds post op for the gas pain just drink water, walk and i used a heat pad, that helped me a lot. My appetite after the op was zero so any liquids were a struggle to get down, but it gradually gets better. Just be patient and give yourself time to heal.

The breast bone position is fairly common in the UK it is stitched to the bone so there is very little chance of it moving or flipping .. I never really see it there unless i have no clothes or a bra on.. Its a breeze to do fills as all u have there is skin ! Have a speedy recovery Jachut and i really hope u do well !

I get my PS on May 20th .. full body lift and arms done.. my port is on my breast bone so wont really be involved.. 5 hours on the operating table is looming over me good luck to you and i hope it all goes well !

Hernia a probably the most popular of the 'stories' that people use, and removal of gallbladder, gall stones.. some of the other proceedures involving a laprascope are for things like removal of a fibroid on the outside of the womb, endometriosis, ovarian cyst, removal of adhesions from previous surgeries.. if u are stuck for one that sounds right for you just google laprascopic surgery or keyhole surgery good luck with the surgery anyways, my mum is the same age as yours she coped fine with knowing

darn i loved the beach boys, being the age i am .. i can hear music I wish her well then and hope she is sucessful this time ...

I would phone the airline and ask them about it

good job .. keep up the good work

Great news .. keep up the good work

Who is Carnie Wilson ?

Just tell those negative people that being obese is far more 'dangerous' from the life threatening illnesses that you can get and that those stats far outweigh any 'dangers' from having a minor op like a lapband.. would they say the same if u were having your wisdom teeth out ? list all the 'co-morbities' u can get with obesity and then try and list any from actually living with a lapband, there are none, any 'danger' from a lapband is to do with surgery in general .. and this surgery is normally less than 1 hour long.. I hope u can make a decision based on what you need and not on other peoples ignorance..

gratz to you both .. now comes the hard job of keeping it off too
