sulking to the nearest corner.......

**hugs/kisses for such nice words** CarolinaGirl thanks! You are always so positive, I love reading your replies. You are right, focusing on the past will not do anything!

well that hurt woman

well, because i dont have fills, i have to eat (my allotted amount ONLY) and not go above that...so i stop at 1 cup and after 20 min period..i pretend (that i am fully restricted hence my referral to max restriction)...i made up my mind to have this surgery and do everything i had to to lose weight. that started with me being truthful and following the lap band guidelines...eat when hungry (good foods, not junk/cheap/easy) and just want it bad enough to make it happen. why are you not losing like you should? is it overeating or the type of foods?? i will help if i can

makes me seem more dumb then i already am ........ geesh

memememe i had mild (didnt know i had it until it was part of my pre op's) i no longer use the cpac......however, i have known (thin) people who use it..so dont think its only from being overweight...it could be but am not a dr so i cannot answer as to why... but try not to focus energy on things you cant fix (the past)... you have control of the future...

congrats on this new part of your life. here is hoping its the best year ever

def call your dr and advise them of what is going on. they may give you a (anti nauseau medicine to help with throwing up) unless you still have some from when you left hospital. immodium a.d. works with the diahrea (but always ask your dr if its okay first)...since you coming out #2, def keep up with your liquids to stay hyrdated.....here's hoping you feel better soon honey.

i crushed (and still crush) (my sleep aid) but otherwise did gummy or liquid during this phase.

as mis said, that is up to your insurance..just have all your t's and i's dotted and underlined.....btw congrats on a healthy baby. wishing you nothing but luck

there are some doozies and had to figure out how myself... glad i helped you all ps...just ignore the bad apples. all we can do

yes mam

it can be done..def want power and your my hero by back jogging my dr said to save the fills for when you need it..an insurance policy the band will help you eat less and if you eat filling foods (Protein, veggies) and drink alot..it may help..helping me so far..you can do this....again, eat when hungry, your allotted amounts and believe

sorry to read this

i block by going to my profile select manage ignore prefs copy and paste persons name you wish to block check the 3 blocks and hit save hope this works

i havent had it yet but i just eat when i am hungry (and eat filling proteins to keep me full longer) and drink alot...i have always said i eat as though i am at max restriction..sounds like you are doing well

my bmi was in the low 60's and my surgeon did not say to lose anything but i was on liquids for 2 1/2 weeks (to help my liver be gorgeous)..that is what kept me from cheating on my pre op diet, being afraid he wouldnt operate if my liver wasnt small enough

its an NSAID so i dont think so can you call the dr or nurse (or even pharmacy to check and be sure)

believe it or not, i use to do step aerobics and do mini marathons via walking...flash forward many yrs..i allowed myself to get very large and wasnt able to hardly walk at all...now i can get around better and i dont take it for granted...so walking isnt soo bad and try walking up hill or up stairs and find out just how easy walking is...so walking only for 3 months isnt soo bad...make sure you wave at me as your run on by

thats what i did do., even now odd some can have only drinks and some can eat..goes to show how different dr's are..oh well, trying to be friendly...wishing you great luck

i was on all liquids 2 1/2 weeks before surgery and 2 weeks post op they did not mention any cal watching...i was advised no sugar and no caffeine (i drink a lrg coffee reg every morning though now)

that stupid band is telling you to follow the rules...so listen to it

this was just funny to me and its sad at the same time as it is also is partially true as some of these questions are asked and you have to wonder, do they really listen to the seminar, the dr, the nutritionist or are they just going through the motions to have the surgery?? the magical surgery..its magical if you use this valuable surgery correctly. that choice is up the the person
