    I know it hurts but ignore him. You have people who support you 100%.

    I love the Burrito Bowl at Chipotle. I always order one with pinto beans, guacamole, and chicken. I omit the salsa because I don't like the cilantro. I eat half of it and save the other half for later.

    Agree about the soda since the carbonation is risky. It can make your band expand leading to a slipped band. Not a good thing. Also, ice cream is considered a slider food. You can gain weight by eating a lot of it.

    Hang in there. It does get better! After I had my surgery, I wondered if I made the wrong decision, but now I'm very happy with my results.

    My insurance required 3 months of supervised diet with my nutritionist - July through October. The doctor's office submitted my surgery request to my insurance in October and within a week I was approved for my surgery - November 11, 2011. My doctor didn't require a sleep apnea test but I had to go in for some blood work one week before my surgery. I think that you'll have your surgery in either February or March. Good luck!

    I received 1 cc today. My doctor said that I'm almost in the green zone since I haven't had any difficulty and have lost a good amount of weight since my surgery. Woo Hoo!!

    You're doing good! Congrats

    My doctor requires his patients to begin walking the day of surgery but to start off slow and work up to 30 minutes/day. Treadmill and elliptical were to be avoided for 6 weeks post-op. Ask your doctor what he/she recommends.

    Protein Shakes?

    Aria3 replied to MrsMyers10's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I'm a fan of Muscle Milk Light. Their chocolate and cake batter flavors are delicious and filling.

    Keep in mind that it takes 4 to 6 weeks for your body to heal after surgery.

    Muscle Milk is good stuff.

    Try MiO liquid Water Enhancer. They have a variety of flavors to choose from: berry Pomegranate, Fruit Punch, Mango Peach, Peach Tea, Sweet Tea, and strawberry Watermelon. I have bought the Berry Pomegranate and the Sweet Tea. Out of the two, I prefer Berry Pomegranate

    I've lost a total of 35 pounds. I check my weight every other day and my number hasn't moved all week. Is it normal to reach a plateau soon after surgery?
