I dont see why not if you havent had surgery yet but are you being treated for it. You dont want to go in to surgery with an infection.

I was told if you get a stomach flu your supposed to get an unfill. Thats just my doctor. I would have them check it out though.

I dont think so. Its more vomiting then anything that causes slippage. I would get some cough syrup from your doctor though.

And I get called rude lmao. Such an emotional bunch of women. You all must be pmsing lmao. Go eat some carbs you will feel better lmao.

Your swollen, bloated, healing its normal.

I have lost my nurse practitioner she weighs 112 pounds. I wouldnt want to carry her around either lol

I dont drink soda and too was told not too. It's not worth the risk to me.

Definitely will pray for you. These things are normal that you are thinking but you will do great. No worries think about how great you will look by next year this time.

Totally a big difference in your total appearance. Keep up the good work. It will come.

Good for you CG. That is a great accomplishment. We dont realize how much that kind of thing makes a difference. It's a great NSV to me to hear that from you.

Isnt it great to realize just that little thing. I use to take five medications for my stomach and now I only take prilosec until I have my gallbladder out Dec 11th.

Donna dont feel bad for not exercising. I have arthritis everywhere and if I exercise even walk I pay for it. I have lost well with no exercise. I may have lost faster but I do not in one bit feel bad about not exercising. Some people just have issues and can't. Yes we abused our bodies with the weight. I pay for even at my weight now but it happens. Hang in there, go get some unfill and see but chicken doesnt work for me in any way shape or form and I have way less in my band then you do.

You need at least 90 grams of protein a day. Your body has to adjust to the drastic deprivation in calories. We all went from about 3,000 calories a day to under 1,000. Once your body realizes its not starving anymore you will lose. I know its depressing as hell but it will happen you have to just be patient. Rather stall now then be going good and then stall for weeks or months sometimes. 17lbs in four weeks is great. Dont get upset just keep doing what you are doing and try to eat more protein and the only carbs that you eat right now is vegetables and fruit only and if you can go without the fruit the better.

Well you are still healing. Protein is important for weight loss. What are you eating in a day

As long as your moving you should have nothing to worry about. Walk and do ankle pumps when in bed.

I went to the OR at 1:15 I was in recovery by 2:30 and that was with the prep in the OR once I got there. I think it depends on the surgeon, how many he has done, and other things. He said it took him 45 minutes from start to finish.

Its a cup measured. If you are having issues getting protein in at this point I would say drink a shake. How far out are you.

Could also be the turkey or chicken they don't work for me either. Call the surgeon but your intolerance to meat might be happening since getting a fill.

Well lruthie20 you don't personally know me so you saying I was being harsh is like judging your patients that they are insane now isnt it. I was not being harsh simply stating that is sabatoge 3 weeks out. We dont know how little her little plate was or how much her seconds were and I dont care what you think because personally I have worked my full butt off to get the weight off. You see yes the band does make it easier to eat less but the band does not make it impossible to eat more if you do it right. So before you tell me my words are harsh, meet me in person, know the real me then tell me that I am harsh ok ;0 because I take care of people every single day of my life and no I am not harsh so you judging me was as bad as you thinking I was judging her. I was just stating a fact. At three weeks out you should not be going for seconds. She said she stuffed herself. Did you read that part. What do you consider stuffing?? It's the same behavior that got all of us where we are. So don't tell me I'm harsh when you dont know me.

GNC makes good chewables. Please do not take iron unless you are iron deficient it can cause heart problems. No one should be taking iron unless you are anemic. Or you iron stores are low.

Jelly too my tummy looks like helly lol

Also sugar free candy is not a low calorie food. Five of them pack a whopping 250 calories. Not to mention the laxative effect. I wouldnt bother they are a waste of calories to me.

I agree. If you think the medication will help you lose weight then wait. It can't hurt only be an added benefit if you have surgery but the choice is yours.

I'm not judging you I'm telling you the truth. You can't expect to lose weight by stuffing yourself or eating pie and water gate salad. The only thing healthy that I see that you ate was Turkey and Veggies whatever they may be. No I don't stuff myself and havent for three years and you know why? Because that is what got me weighing almost 300lbs. No the love of food will never die but learning to love yourself more needs to grow. Holidays are not about food but about spending time with your loved ones.
