February Bandsters?
Victoryg replied to mrsmyers2010's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi Sassyfrass. I'm so glad you wrote in. You're actually doing better than I am. I will have my one year anniversary in Feb an I believe I've only lost about 25 lbs. I'm amazed at the wonderful work of everyone else. It's just not working for me. -

Luvbug, I totally feel your pain. My weightloss is practically non existent. I wish I were down like other folks. Also, I just had foot surgery, so I can't really exercise. Sigh. -

I am feeling discouraged as well. I do find some strength in knowing that I'm not the only one. I may go for another fill. However, my question is, how do you know when you have restriction? Maybe I don't know bc I don't have it? -
Need Greek Yogurt Suggestions

It was vanilla, but I don't remember the brand. -

I second the motion to stay away from protein powder and oatmeal. I tried it and it was HORRIBLE. I'm here to tell the world. -

Flouro-- I think the full name is fluoroscopy, but don't quote me on that. It's when they do your fill in front of a live x-ray. They doc can see where everything is like the port and the band. and see how you're swallowing the special liquid they give you. It's pretty cool. -
Need Greek Yogurt Suggestions
Victoryg replied to ElizabethAnne's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
If you can get or make some fruit purée, that goes great with Greek yogurt (with a little sweetener). I stumbled upon at work and I love it. I know not everyone's work carries Greek yogurt with 3 choices of purée. Honestly, I don't even know how to make purée, but its worth learning. I use strawberry and it masks the taste of the greek yogurt and goes down smoothly. -
What Would You Recommend At A Restaurant?!
Victoryg replied to Lannae's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey, I haven't seen any other postings about Greek food. Most Greek restaurants have avglommeno (sp?) soup. You could also maybe eat the insides of a dolmade. I believe that's finely chopped meat inside a grape leaf. Both are Greek specialties. I suppose you know this already, but look at the online menu in advance. I can't go anywhere without doing that. Good luck and happy birthday! -

Sorry for the double posting. My phone said the original didn't go through. -

Hey Judy, Fortunately I didnt have to do that. I have some extended release pills and I read that you shouldn't crush those. I got 1.8cc and the pills still go down fine. I was scared though. I also got this first fill under flouro, which I think is amazing. I'm spoiled for life now. -

You should never be sorry for an upgrade from Wendy's to Chick Fil A. Lol -

Hey Judy, Some of my meds are time release and I read that you shouldn't crush those. So far, I'm fine. I had 1.8cc put in under flouro (which I live and can't imagine getting a fill without now) and the pills went down ok. I do have mild heart burn though. -

I get my first one tomorrow. You know, I'm kinda worried about being able to take my meds after that. Either way, I'm still excited. -

I had the same problem with the scan coming off. I cleaned the wound with peroxide. I may get some of those steri strips. Let me know how yours works out. I'm concerned about it as well.

I had most of an omelette and some potatoes for lunch. I feel like I could eat more. Please tell me this will be diminished with a fill!
