i downloaded for free (ad blocker) and i see no pop ups/ads or whatever. just good ole LBT.

nope, sammy hagar tequila........and yes its a bit pricey but def worth it.

wasnt what i ate......

about 3 to 4 months post op, i noticed myself losing alot more via seeing it around the drain in the tub...it does get better...my dr and nutritionist advised me to keep up on my protein and it seems to be working..(i dont take the biotin others do)but if it helps, that may be an option..try not to worry but i know you will because i did and i have fine hair...yikes

my port area was sore aka tender for about a month its the scar tissue forming and seemingly from what you describe, perfectly normal..however, me not being a doctor, if you are overly concerned, def give your dr a call.. ps, as the days pass, that feeling will go away

best of luck to you with your wonderful attitude, you are sure to be a success

agree with tmf, def sounds like you need more filling items..alot of processed foods slide right on through and (dont hang around) like protein laden foods...so drink alot (like hel advised) and eat protein/veggies/fruit...the band wont help you not be hungry, just not eat as much...up to us to choose what we eat....hang in there

yes, completely i was yellow and grey from th surgery alone..i also did 2 weeks of blood clot preventing shots in my stomach so it looked liked i was on WWE's main event with the bruising..as the days pass, it goes away..promise

best of luck to you..i wish you all the best its hard on the pre op but it does get easier as the days pass...drink alot and stay as positive as you can especially when going gets tough and it will..so keep the mental upbeat attitude you have best thing i ever done (aside from marrying my hub and having a great son)

i was a lager bmi when i was banded and did not exercise mainly because i was physically unable my knees hurt, my lower back hurt and everything else i could add to not do anything... the only thing i did was walk (to go to the bathroom at work is 74 steps) and that was it..if you can exercise, whatever it is, helps and is good for you.....and keep in mind, if you take in more calories than you can burn off, you wont lose and may gain..so adjust your cals to work with your fitness levels..def focus on lean protein to aid with hunger and feeling full..

♥carolinagirl♥, cynthia500 has sent you a new personal conversation entitled "hello". cynthia500 said: Hi Dearest, How are you today i hope every thing is well with you.I'm miss Cynthia by name,Is my pleasure to contact you after going through your profile which really interest me in having communication with you. I will appreciate if you can write me back( lady.cynthiajohn1@yahoo.co.uk ) for easiest communication and to know more about each other so that i will explain myself to you and also send my picture to you. Take care and have a nice day. I await hearing from you soonest. Yours truly Cynthia ( lady.cynthiajohn1@yahoo.co.uk )

I must be willing to give up what I am in order to become what I will be

all i could do was walk when i got banded and not far but i kept at it......each day/week i was able to go alittle farther and farther....as long as you do (something), its better than nothing...

gee i do think...and that is why i was beyond fat...i was super morbid obese.. simple to me...once i accepted it...by seeing the number and getting a tool to help me... i never looked back.

restrict or not restrict.. depends on whom uses it and their version of it you can have the tightest band in all the land or the loosest one but if you eat high cal/high fat foods/drinks and more cals then you burn off...you will gain

thanks for the nice words in regards to me missy.

i am not dogging anyone as i have no right to as i am like everyone else who is overweight and sought help with wls..i have no input on fills or complications or loosen bands. its not my style to (dog) anyone. i merely stated a fact, to gain weight, you eat more cals then you burn off.. and you stated you gained 65 pounds..that was by eating excess calories. and yes, no fill for me yet but making it happen and i have been banded nearly 11 months...and even still wish you the best of luck with the sleeve if you go that route.

sip and sip and sip some more the first week or so, you will be swollen inside..and hel is 100% right, your dr is the one who should explain the post op instructions if unsure.

i think the best person to ask is your dr as to whether its okay or not as we all offer different opinions/advice..my dr told me no nsaids so no it is but that is just me...glad you feel better, tooth aches are a b**tch

i read your post and all the comments and decided to answer differently... i read your posts filled with i cant, what if this or that, and more can't complications (that may or may not happen, its surgery-things happen) and on and on but you seems to forget something...read this part as i mean it with love and from someone who started with a large BMI what if you can what if you do what if you are a success what if nothing goes wrong and all goes right? think about *that* and make yourself well your the only one that can do it..so do it best of luck

i love brown rice but it isnt very filling so i dont eat it anymore.

you are stronger than you think you are you acknowledge making bad choices so make better ones you lost a good bit of weight and congrats to you on that. but it boils down to either you do it or you dont..eating better food in your allotted amounts....so just hang in there...and remember 3500 cals is a pound and if you eat more cals than you burn off, you wont lose and or gain....

maybe a 2nd opinion it could be either...why its best to let your dr help you. great job on the weight loss...

whats up with these spammers people do they really think people will answer them??
