Hey Karen : Yes, the meetings are every Thursday eening. Some of the people meet a little early as they have a room full of clothes for men and women as a clothes exchange. The meetings are from 6:30-7:30. Chaz came and spoke to us. He has lost 215 pounds. It was so inspirational. I do not have my surgery date yet. I am hopeful to hear this week or next. Hubby has lost 30 pounds since band Oct 21.

I have found that If I eat Jello, even though I dont want to, It will help temporarily, during this time I Start something to keep my mind off and can last longer till next meal time.

Still having lots of gas after 10 weeks post op

Try a probiotic, it seemed to realy help me. They have one that is like a piece of chocolate 10 cals ,1 carb, I got it at walmart. The packageing looks like a pint of ice cream. Healthy delights ProBiotic bites dark chocolate. A Probiotic is sort of like yogart on steroids,each piece has one Billion live cultures. Live cultures if you dont know already, are good bacteria that eat up or kill or something bad bacteria. -
not over eating anymore but.....

I remember an old Dr. Oz show, he suggested playing video games as a way to help lose weight! This was before the WII and the Kinnect type games. Anyway back to the subject, My nutrisionist said she had a Patient who said they were having a problem with trying not to drink (alcohol) to much, so I think, it is true, you have to be careful not to trade one addiction for another. Mine may be this support group! -

Surgery 2 + Weeks Ago- Still In Pain
Karen*4041 replied to MARKW6's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I agree with KisKi, It sounds to me like during surgery you might of strained something.Massage Therapy would help if this is so.Go easy on the heating pad, if it is a stain and not gas, heat could increase inflamation, like a sprained ankle heat would not be suggested. I always use Ice for a strain, no more than 15 minutes though, after 15 minutes your body may think it is freezing and send blood to the area, thus increasing inflamation. Another thing I found good for gas is a probiotic, it really helped me. Good Luck, Karen
