So sorry for ur loss. Me personally since my banding i have gone through a few things. Even currently when im stressing my band gets tight. I stick with warm drinks an Soups. HTH i will keep you in my thoughts an prayers.

Absolutely call your dr. At a month post op this rarely should happen.

Hi Annie. Yes i too felt the same way an I am no stranger to surgerys. One week post op i finally tried to get out side an walk it was Oct. though anyhow i went with my husband an a cane. Only doing very small distances at first but after a week of doing that i was up to a whole block or too. It does get better just hang in there.

Yvonne. I work in a Level 1 Trama hospital an its the same here with takinv time off. So if 1) its for a fill reschedule no biggie 2) FMLA does cover you for this especially if you have any co-morbidities. Its the FMLA thats called specifically Intermitent FMLA and 3) here in Mass. we also have a small neccessities act which is for fulltime workers to be able to get a day off for dr appts or for a childs school appt an such. So at the end of the day it just depends on how far you want to take this an remember there is always repercussions to our decisions. Good luck

Wow you can really tell it in ur face!! Awesome

@b52 i have a shake every morning too but just wondering what recipe do you use for a 40gm rotein shake. Id like to try it. Thanks

Awesome Alex. Thank you

Ps. As Always thank you for the Inspiration.

Missy how amazing!! But for real you should be wearing a form fitting flattering shirt an some NOT Mom jeans!! U go girl!! Awesome simply awesome

So there was a comment on LBT the other day that got me thinking... Sorry to say I dont remember who made the comment However a women was "happy with her hunger pains" because she had never felt them before. Well this got me to thinking, I probably would not be in the situation that I am in now with having to have WLS If I had only let myself feel hunger pains. I mean ok when we start out with our pre-op diets or even after WLS and have to limit the amount of food we intake. We may feel that it is SO hard to ONLY have a half cup of this or a cup of that, BUT wait a minute !! We will not starve we will not die if we are not eating or grazing the whole day through. In fact all that eating is just what maybe the thing TO kill us. So even though I do have the band I still will embrace being hungry at times, drinking my Water having my 1/2 cup of food 3Xaday, and waiting on the next time I Feel hungry to eat. IMHO

Yes Instyle this is what im talking about. When i want something to eat or graze. I honestly stop an tell my self "I wont die if I dont eat this" An then i go on about my day drink my Water an wait until I am hungry.

Just wondering... Does anyone else find it strange that the OP only has 3 post out of all 58 post??? Just saying...

CG you are NOT a meanie. I will PM u in a minute.hope you want to be my bff too! MG u know better than to ask questions. That is talking to strangers. Lol Ok i gotta stop my sides hurt from laughing
