I was told no pills. I take liquids and chewables only. Better check with your doctor.

you now need to share the silly question!!!!!!!!!!!

I liked the don't live in the past. I know too many people who do. That all was great-thanks for sharing your thoughts.

​Thank you everyone. I am glad you all liked my din-din tonight. Also, thanks for help with cleaning the dumb pan. They are so darn heavy, also and I have weak wrists, so I own a very small one.

Glad you like how I cook. So what is the secret to cleaning the cast iron pans?

I am losing much slower than you and I am very happy with my results. No one said it will come off fast. I also go to the gym 4-6 times a week. My measurements are going down and that makes me one very happy person. :)Good luck.

I don't know what an Oband is. Is it like the regular band that I have? I see my dietitian every time I see my doctor, every 2 months. I only see them no assistants This site is wonderful for support and answering any questions you have.

I was told 6 weeks. I had the band the end of July, live in a condo with a pool and couldn't use the pool. That sucked. Call your doctor because every one of them has different rules. If you have other questions, make a list. How are you feeling?

I am on my iPhone and showed my husband. He said you know she is working hard! You look amazing. Keep up the wonderful work.

I don't work so when I get dressed in the morning, it's my gym clothes. I try to go every day but some days I just don't make it but I am always dressed to go. Last night was my first night of Passover and before I went to my brother's for the seder dinner I was at the gym and felt great. I did eat a few things bad, but this morning I was at my lowest yet, so it does help. My size is going down faster by going to the gym. I have a wonderful thick gold chain I bought a few years ago in St. Martin, it hangs lower than I want now. All the rewards make the gym more inviting. Go with someone, maybe. I go with my husband. We go in the middle of the day and the gym is empty. I am not the largest person which does mean a lot to me. I have problems like that. I hope they change soon. ​Get a personal trainer, that would make you get there. Good luck.

I have never noticed a difference after a fill. But I wake up and watch tv in bed for 1-2 hours before taking my vitamins etc. and have my protein shake.

Good luck. I had appointment for one hour only and was told then I passed for the surgery.

I have noticed that every doctor has their own ways, also. I know when I get a fill I am on liquids for 3 days, then mushy for 3 days then back to my regular food. Other people say they can have their regular food the next day. So listen to your doctor and dietitian and not everyone else. We all can help with questions but not what your doctor tells you. You will do fine. Write down all your questions and write the answers, don't depend on memory. Good luck.

What a very mean person. I see jealously. When asked about how much I have lost and how much more I want to lose, I choose not to share with anyone other than my husband and this wonderful site. I don't tell my wonderful sons or my oldest brother (we are very close). Yes I am very ashamed of how much I did weigh, do weigh and don't share. You do not have to share unless you want to. Keep your head high and smile.

​SF Popsicles are good. I buy Edy's fruit ones and they are sweet and great. Also, are your protein shakes sweet? I once tried freezing mine, it wasn't the best but it was frozen like ice cream.

I think you're doing great. While walking all over Disney you may develop more muscle and not lose more pounds, but may need size 12 when you're finished with the vacation. You'll have a super time, bring and wear sun block and a hat.

Don't know where to start. First-congratulations on getting the band. I hope your husband does well. I think that is what my DIL has and she is doing great and had a baby in November. She takes (ex. spell.) Gleflex. Something like that and she is doing real well. Very nice about your daughter. I feel very sorry for your BFF that a man can have such control and she allows it. Good luck next week and keep us posted about the family, sisters etc.

I had mine repaired at the same time. Also, my stomach was in the wrong place and that was placed properly. But I did know about these well before hand. I took 6 pills a day to eat because of these problems. My lung doctor discovered them and he signed me up for the band by saying, you are going to this meeting and getting the band. I will always love him for that.

If someone said they were not scared, I think they may be lying. We have all been there and you will wake up and start your journey like all of us banded people to a whole new healthier you. Think of all the new clothes you will need for the smaller you. I know I love that part. A year ago this month I was my highest, 268 wearing a size 20w jean. Now I wear misses size 14 jeans. That doesn't suck. Good luck on Tuesday!!! take before measurements, I forgot to and I never took before pictures, I have some group ones but never real befores.

I always used Splenda but now mostly use Truvia because it is suppose to be better for you.

​I drink about 12 cups of hot tea or iced tea a day. I brew my own iced tea with decaf bags and my hot tea is either. I use sweetener, though. I over drink and pee all night.
