Anyone's Dr. Say they couldn't or shouldn't eat pomegranates?

I have has 2 surgeries and had shoulder pain with both and pain lasted about 2 weeks almost 3 weeks with lap band but some of that I believe came from being in a car accident 1 week post op.

I too wish I had a rounder fuller butt. Instead of it being so flat. Need to start j lo booty exercises and walking up more stairs

I have had both recovery from gall bladder took longer and I was in more pain. I was more nauseated after lap band but only because I didn't take that little anti nausea pill prior to lap band surgery. My surgeon explains that the risk is when he makes an incision behind the stomach next to the liver that he does it basically by feel taking extra time in that spot to be accurate. Which at first I thought sounded weird and scary but that information was followed by his statistics and success rate.

So, I fought emotional eating tonight. I auditioned for something and didn't get picked and it just so happened I was at the store when I found out. So, there I am standing in the store wanting to eat Crappy comfort food. I reached out and was 90% talked off my emotional response. I had such anxiety about it. Breath breath get out of the candy aisle. Ended up with animal cookies, but considering what I was originally going to devour I at least feel like I attempted to acknowledge the behavior maybe next time I will resist buying anything at all. Emo eating 1 me 0!

Thank you!

I as well can eat too much in the evening, but have no problem during the day in fact most of the day I'm so tight I can't eat more than an 1oz of food

Absolute best choice for me I'm so happy I have a lap band.

I have lost 54 lbs and have lost it in my stomach and face still have my boobs and butt. Wish it would fall off my hips

Congrats very inspirational!

I like FRS 25 G of protein. I also like rainbow lite vegan protein. I like Atkins as well. Didn't like muscle milk lite tastes like plastic and gave me stomach rot., didn't like hemp protein it was like drinking sand.

I found the most success with warm water with agave and a splash of lemon juice.

Thanks, I don't thinkwhat I want exists but I want a protein that dissolves instantly in water like my fiber

Manderoo does it dissolve in your water or is it gritty?

Since I started adding benefiber to my water I don't get constipated. The fiber is tasteless and dissolves instantly. Love it and its a natural way to keep things moving. I don't like the way laxitives make me feel and impact my body chemistry.

What do people do to combat eating while bored? I find it challenging to not snack while reading or watching tv. Anyone got any good ideas?

I'm 6 months post surgery and have lost 54 lbs. Have done very little in the way of exercise having a hard time getting into a routine. Good luck!

250.00 and free adjustment within 5 days of fill if its too tight or too loose.

My immediate family and a couple of close friends know. I didn't tell anyone at work my weight loss has been slow enough and I waited so long to get my first fill that I haven't been faced with the questions yet, but when I go back to work in September I might have a few people notice.

I ate a Starbucks breakfast sandwich which has never been an issue. Well I got a fill shortly after and wasn't able to keep water down. Went back lost 13lbs in 2.5 days to have some fluid taken out of my band. Was feeling much better but now when I'm on my left side I slime and I think It's bread from the sandwich any suggestions on how to get rid of this stuck bread or to get it to break down and pass ?

I like FRS. 25gr. Protein ready to drink, I also have a vegan protein I like 15g protein its made by rainbow.

I add benefiber to my water and drink that all day long. Works perfect every time I refill my water cup I add benefiber. I find that when I have eaten processed food it is way worse. Luckilypp I live in a agricultural area and have access to fresh produce. As much as possible I prepare fresh food. Cherries are coming off the tree right now and those help loosen things up, better than prunes (yuck) not a fan of the prune, but I like plums.

I have had surgery twice and both times it came with shoulder pain. It's totally normal. I stopped taking my pain meds the day of surgery because I was violently throwing up everything I drank.
