The port site is very slow to heal... 3-4 weeks. b If you are concerned or it is oozing any at all, I would call the doctors office to double check with them.

I have been at goal for some time. If I stick with the plan I do not gain.

This varies person to person. In the post-op phase my nut said just get in the protein don't worry about calories. Now I eat the right size portions and do not track calories at all. It is all unique to the individual, that's why we have nutritionists imo.

I use FItBit and love it! Very motivating.

Great words of wisdom CG. It is true, it can pass and them re-appear. Stick to the journey and it will take you where you WANT to go!

Might I suggest that take one or more of them with you to the consults and seminars. The more they know about the process, the less fear, uncertainty and doubt (AKA FUD Factor) will cloud their judgement. Buy a book and ask them all to read it. Ask them for their support to help make yourself healthier. Gather statistics about failed diets... 96% fail in the long run, and 94% succeed with Lap Band. Dot write them off yet. Never, Ever Give up! Family is too important!

Good for you! So consumer science is the new politically correct term for Home ec? I am and Old b***h so I took home ec and proud of it!

Welcome. Lots of great people and advice here. Come back often! Post-op is not all that bad, but the rewards are amazing! Read about others and learn, and once you make you decision never look back!

Oh Alex, same guy keeps asking and he never answers your questions about OS and browser.

Mine recommends liquid for 24 hours.

Congratulations on getting the recognition you deserve! Shine on!

A agree, the size of the band does not matter. If you need to eat more often than every 4-5 hours, go in for a fill.

You really should take this question to your doctor or nutritionist. We are all different and getting a bunch of varied data will not answer your question. What is right for you is what you should do. n No comparisons, PERIOD!

Never give up, never, ever give up. Good luck with the surgery!

I hope you get well soon. Sorry for your troubles.

Congrats on a great start! Stick to the path!

You deserve to feel proud. You did the work!

Any meat or fish. Eggs, cottage cheese. try to vary your meals.

Not soon enough eh? I wish you luck.
