your insides are swollen and its hard to drink/eat right now m dr said to sip and sip and then sip some more...its a must to do this....its vital to get fluid into your body..as the days pass, it will get easier.....if its on your list, sf popsicles helped me during this time..(still do).......congrats on surgery......

what a most wonderful post it was a delight to read it...you are dead on in so many points.. and i am a strong believer in people being stronger than they think we can think/will ourselves into anything but if you want it.....truly want it, look out and you obviously do....... GREAT job

gosh i use to love LOVE tomato soup esp the one they serve at applebee's with basil UMMM..but since i came off my liquid pre/post ops 15 months ago, hadnt had soup since.... i miss it, but just cant....but sounds yummy agree with go, sticking to your allotted amount your dr gave you is best just because you can eat more (doesnt mean we should)

if you are running a temp, you need to let your dr know

to gain true weight you have to eat/drink more calories than you burn off....simple its a fact and how we all needed wls when i was coming off my post op, i felt this very same way jeannie who wrote bandwagon and i pm back and forth and i asked her this very thing...she said so you wanna just drink for the rest of your life?? we are not on a diet... you will eat healthy foods, exercise and lose weight and be healthy let the band do its job by helping you with the amount all you do and need to do is make better choices, eat your allotted amount and watch you lose massive inches/weight best of luck

i am not a dr nor do i have a college degree.. but to have a band or any wls (or even acrylic nails) should not include pain i would seek a different doctor or confer with this person again.. eating too soon is dangerous and shame on anyone who says its not eating too much at one time eating a too big of bite eating too fast can and does cause pain i wish you luck and all the best honey from what you wrote, him being a quack, your gonna need it

whomever said the lapband doesnt work has not met youwhooooo hooooo happy to read this post

long way hell...you are right on GFyou look amazing

keep sipping and remember why you did this..as you heal, you will start to be hungry keep busy and def use the protein to aid you here......learning to tell if you are truly hungry or just thinking you are is crucial.....so use your free foods, (sf popsicles were my savior) sip and sip more and then some more and stay busy go read, walk, talk a bath, lay in yard with a book...hang tough, you can do it

well, i think any guy who gets a date with you is lucky since you are still healing, nothing wrong with Soup or chili perhaps no need to divulge unless you want too...you have that control follow your heart...brain can go topsy divery esp if guy is hott go and enjoy yourself..you know what you can and what you shouldnt do use your judgement

and if you are approved and a date scheduled, you would have upset yourself for nothing...i know its easy to say, but try not to cook the scrambled egg before its hatched....i am sending positive thoughts/vibes your way

when we travel (to beach a couple hours away) or our lake house for the day or to a bike rally..in my purse, i have always had protein bars (some are fantastic)...but we take in little baggies or lock n lock (tupperware type) mini's...grapes, carrots, apples, cheese cubes (not all at same time as hub need snacks too) and they fit in the sissy bag or hubs vest nicely...would think this could fit into your purse or carry on

reading this post made me smile and it also encouraged me and it also taught me alot but what it showed me the most was one thing that if someone truly (wants it), they CAN do it well done my friend and i am blessed to know you...... ps UK still sux

wish you all the best of luck and i hope time flies on by quickly and the approval is yes

so if i get a white dress......a wig, crown, red paint stuff...i could do it?? what u think

can you find a pic of it....can you order online?

well, dr follow up aptpts are vital..i went monthly the first year..and then i need to go every 3 months unless i needed to go in.......i go monthly still.......my oct dr appt will be a barium swallow...i get on every 3 months..because i want one

i did come across a carrie outfit kinda like this...

its a aid......like the band def in early stages and i had to sign a waiver because of that and understood things could happen but i took that chance and am super dooper careful and very clear of how my body is working and looking out for any signs i am glad i have it 140+ pounds loss.....yeah it works

i am with you GFit has gave me my life back my dr performs them but again stresses it must be used properly for best results

fantastic job....so very proud of you

drink crystal light 24/7.....only side effect is my little short legs heading to the potty all the time....
