I take syntrax lemon tea!! I take it with crystal light. I feel it’s the best thing out there! I’ve been drink it for 7 years. The vanilla and chocolate protein shakes were making me gag! This one is drinkable! Good luck

I go the day after Labor Day! Hope my surgeon doesn’t party too much. The surgery is at 730 I have to be there at 6. Hoping it’s a one night stay.

Hi I am Sept 3, no time yet! Today is my first day of the pre-op diet. Not too bad 3 protein shakes a days 3oz of turkey or chicken ....1/2 cup of berries. Anyone else on the pre-op diet?

I’m scheduled for Sept 3! That was good info

I had the lapband 6 years ago had some issues so I had it removed I qualify for the sleeve Just left my pre op with my surgeon Pre diet starts next week What about you

Me!!! September 3!!!! A little nervous how about you?

Hi mine is September 3! Would love a friend to talk about it

Had a very small fill last Wednesday ! I was good Thursday Friday and Saturday ! Yesterday not to good didn't feel well and couldn't hold much down. Today feeling better but now have minor cramps and and some lower back pain. Not sure if I'm to tight or if I am getting sick. To add to this my sons friend came over last night and must of had the stomach flu because we threw up EVERYWHERE! I have had the band for over a year and I do realize that with me and I am not sure if anyone else feels this way it seems to get a little tighter a week later? Any suggestions?

Thanks after three days of not feeling right and chest and back pains going to get a unfill. Thanks

I think the slower the better! It's a journey and I remember when I was new at this I didn't want to hear that but now I know it's the only way! It's didn't come on over night and I can't take it off over night! Be patient and persistent and it will come off and more importantly stay off! Good luck'

Today marks one year for me! This time last year I was nervous and excited all at once! I am down almost 60 pounds. It been a very slow and steady pace and I am so ok with that. I'm about 4 pounds from my goal. (I was on the smaller size didn't think I would get approved) besides the scale going downward my NON SCALE VICTORY included great blood work. All my lousy number are down! From cholesterol to sugar to blood pressure! I have a lot more energy ! My clothes fit so much better! I like that I don't have this obsession with food anymore! I'm ok with a small amount! We as American eat entirely to much! Too bad it took me too long to figure it out! Loving the new me!!!!!

I'm from south jersey , would live to talk!!! Had my surgery last December. I am at a stand still but I was on the smaller side and didn't need a lot to lose. Lost about 47, need to loose 15 more! Look and feel a whole lot better than last year!

Mine is slowing down, as expected! I'm trying to do a 4 pound a month loss. How are you doing?

I love salads and yes I have issues with salad!!!!! Such a bummer! So disappointing who knew?

I have blue cross blue shield nj..direct access . Ihad a low BMI And I was approved no problems. My doctor said blue cross is one of the easier insurance companies .

Also do you remember years years ago a happy meal was a meal . A serving size of a French fry was a small fry! Our serving size has just gotten out of control.

Cup of food, 1/4 of that should be protein! That's not alot!! But I remember once someone once told me that I ate alot! They weren't trying to be mean but sometimes we need honestly brutal honesty! suffie

I am 4 months post op a and I just got my 2 md fill. I definitely feel it this time. I had two shrimp and I was done. It's kinda a nice feeling! My doctor also told me to eat 6 small meals a day instead of three. Good luck! I would wait and see. How you feel!

I took off three weeks! But I had the time that I saved! I'm glad for that! I think 1-2 weeks. But everyone is different! Every one says that! But I could not imagine going back to work after a couple of days. Also I lift heavy things in my job so that's why I didn't get the ok! Good luck!

Congrats! Was is your name on my fitness pal

I got my first fill today at 10. The worst part was the waiting. The doctor cleaned the area with alcohol and before I knew it , it was over !!! I did close my eyes because the needle did look big on the table. But it was a small pinch like the flu shot pinch. Some pressure and it was over. Ihhungry now because

I had terrible gas pain. When I I went to the doctor for my follow up I asked him why they didn't warn us about the pain. He said some people experience it and some don't. I had terrible actually excruciating left shoulder pain. The good thing is that everyday it got better, thank goodness. I kept remembering this too shall pass!!!!! A heating pad made it more manageable. Good luck. It's all worth it in the end
