Drinking water is important as it helps so you can poop and not be constipated.

Went on Vacation for a week, saw all of my kids and grandkids, I ate what I thought was way to much, I ate with the kids as they always wanted to treat dad, my oldest son who is 31 likes to drink microbrew and has a special deal for what they call a crawler, you own a very cool quart bottle and can get it filled for 3 dollars and we shared one everyday. Finallly I am home, step on the scale and lost 10 lbs this last week!!!! Way cool!!!!

I had 1 cc in band at surgery and 1 month later doc put in a 7cc fill after 4 more fills I have 9.5cc in a 14 cc band. She did say she wanted to be aggresive on the first fill so I guess it depends on the doctor

Tricare- Moving And Finding A Dr To Do Fills
Ric replied to xxoxoheatheroxox's topic in Insurance & Financing
Look into the Naval Hospital Beaufort, I know the one in Camp Pendlton does fills -
WOW!!! I see this and realize it isn't just me!! I was sober for almost 5 years and then 3 years ago my 2nd marriage failed so I began havibng pitty parties for myself! For 2 years I was able to manage well!!!! pretty good!! Get drunk every once in a while stay clean for a while and do it all over again. I was banded june of last year and Lately even my bar friends have been saying to me that I am drinking far more than they ever remember me to be doing! Some of these friends I have known for for most of my life! Its an easy drunk after 2 or 3 but in the last 6 months its been multiple drinks spending 100 dollars a night most nights of the week. I ended up in an accident a few months ago but before I went to the ER I stopped by my favorite watering hole and had a couple stiff drinks to calm my nerves. The owner told me he thought I needed to go ER and so I went to the hospital the cops ended up there just a few minutes after I arrived in the ER. Mind you this is at 7 am and when I got in the accident I was on my way to work. Well they did the little breathalizer and said I blew high and then a sample of my blood was taken by the gracious ER nurse and now 3 months later I was charged with a point 8 DUI!! Now I am out of my nerves not knowing what is going to happen as well as the $$$$$, Well just thought I would vent!! No more drinking for me at least for a while!! Thanks!!

I used to run half marathons and also ran 23 years in the Marine corps, the best thing I have found to prevent nipple burn/rub was a simple bandaid! Hope this helps

Wow!! I was on a liquid diet for 2 weeks and then a mushy diet for 2 weeks! My filkl was 1 month after surgery! Maybe your is different, but I did not have restriction until my 4th fill and could virtually eat anything but no way as much as before!! Good luck things like this has happened to me and a whole bunch of other people!

Do You Have A Favorite Brand Of Protein Shakes?
Ric replied to KanesMom's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
For on the go in need of a quick fix I like the 12 oz can of Pure Protein that has 27g of Protein (chocolate) Also EAS Strawberry 16 oz with 45g of protein is good! There are others that I like, Unjury unflavored (can Mix with pretty much anything) and Unjury Chickensoup flavor I mostly mix with veggies, cottage cheese or in a lite broth but you have to remember to not have hot, hot water just warm because the powder will clump up. -
I have even done SCUBA diving a few days after a fill!! There was no problem!

Hubby Can Only Take 1 Day Off Work!
Ric replied to ssss's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I agree!! I am no longer married and the Hosp said they would not let me go home without a ride!! So I had to call a friend to pick me up although my pickup was at the Hosp! He came later the next day so I could get my pickup! I really didn't need anybody at home as I was drinking liquid pain killers that first day at home and was sleeping most of the time anyway!!
