Now im at the stage that i can have food im supper scared of making the wrong decisions....I wanted food seemed like forever now that i have it I DON'T WANT IT... I get my first fill on 6/4/12 I don't know what to expect because some of the foods that i can tolerate now i know that i will not be able to tolerate. I wish a magic light would just come on and say NO.....That's not going to work.. Im so commited im scared...

Ok so im looking for a protien powder that I can buy in bulk....I buy the Jullian Michaels Whey powder but it dont come in a big jug i go through one in less than a week and it's not cheap so I need to be more cost effective if this is going to be a long term thing for me. AND SINCE IT IS... I need to save money. Although weight is a big thing in my life i still have to live also....So HELP....SMOOTCHES.

Well i must say i am feeling great.....It's just hard to make sure i get enough protien and water due to the fact i never feel hungry...

I was banned on the 2nd. You are not alone im a little lost myself. Maybe we can help eachother

I totaly agree. If your looking for a quick fix the band is not it for you...The band allows you to live life style based on health.......I think that when most people go wrong. They want a quick fix so they don't have to put in the work.I personally think that when you put in the work you will appreciate it more.. To loose quick means that you have not gained the tools needed to keep it off. The lap band is designed to program you body AND your mind.

THANK YOU.....

Nothing you hit your out of pocket.....GO YOU.....

So i have been banned since the 1st...I am at the same weight that i was the day befor banding... I don't know if it's that im not drinking enough fluids. I keep forgeting to drink my protien shakes must less anything else...I just don't feel hungry. I keep hearing all these people say they lost 20lbs in thier first week and they still cheated... I haven't even cheated and no weight loss...I getting really discouraged.. But i have exercised yet nither because im still in pain.

i feel the same way that 2muchfun do. but i know that to quit cold turkey is hard... Im not condoning it but my sister is a regular weed smoker and she has been banned for 3yrs and have lost about 200lbs... I really think its a personal decision. But the paper work that you signed clearly states.....SMOKEING CAN CAUSE SERIOUS HARD TO A BANNED PATIENT...

I know it sucks but it's so worth it.....

Every since my surgery on the 1st I have been VERY active. But today I went to a wedding ....WOOW this was the longest day of my life.....Althought I felt great my body was still tired... I had a great time though i even danced a little...My only thing was the fact that i still look prego because of the gas....But I still enjoyed myself... And my family was happy to see me.

Im having a hard time passing this excess gas,,,i evn take gas x and walk allot...help i look prego

thank GOD

This is my second day post op and I feel great. Im happy i took this life change..

im day too and whoever invented gas strips im in love with themmmm

Can some people share with me the pre op diet that they are on because i am loosing no weight.....AT ALLLLLL

So guess what guys......................Drum roll please.........I GET BANED IN LESS THEN 24 HRS....Im happy, sad, excited, nervous.... all in one. I know that this will be the last day of my old slugish life.......I really want to cry.,..

Can some people share with me the pre op diet that they are on because i am loosing no weight.....AT ALLLLLL

Thank GOD it's on my list, They have been a life saver.... I guess diffrent doctors have diffrent criteria..

sugar free jello, Sugar free pudding, yougert low cal and sugar, Sugar free pop cicles..... You just have to open your world up to ne possiabilites. Aslso oatmeal watered down with milk ( skim or 1%) put a sugar sud in it and some cinn it's great. The list goes on

Well I went and got body fortress from walmart and i love it......It high in protien so I don't have to use as much powder as i did with Jullian Micheals and it's only about $14.00 and a 2ld jug. I was supper stoked....

thanks guys. I get baned on the 1st im excited....

So I have been making a big deal about the fact that i haven't lost any weight on my pre op diet..... So I was going over all my paper work and reading the protien shake instructions.....UGH IM NOT GETTING NEARLY ENOUGH PROTIEN......I was putting one scoop in my shake insted of 2.........This was a silly mistake I know......I could kill myself.. I used to make protien shakes for my boyfriend and only used one scoop and thought that was what I was to do for myself......NOOOOOOO...

Sorry maybe it's me i didn't understand that???????

You are....I feel that i am perfect at my size but it's no healthy so i mush change it....You need to learn to be comfortable in your own skin....no matter what size you are if your not comfortable your gonna think one more size, one more size. You need to find someone to comfide in for help...Were you always uncomfortable with the way you looked?
