Hey Mis73 I also tried that and it also says I don't have permission , thankyou any way I just don't get why everybody else can and it gives me a problem I know I am not computer littarate but I have posted before, I can't even post in my pics at all , thank you like I said anyway for trying to help at least me.

Hi Courtney it is better to try different thing now not a lot just try different ones I did musle ilk and now I have found a protein drink called core 26 grams of protein , or go to a vitamin shop and ask if they have any protein shakes you can try as you are going to have surgery and some taste nasty so now is the time to experiment, also I was able to have ground turkey and chicken like 2 tbsp., on a salad at night with lemonjuice and distilled white vinegar till 3 days before surgery but I had to have 2-3 protein shakes in a day before the salad at night and I was starving it takes time mind and body wise I cried and wanted to bite peoples heads off I was so hungry lol but it is paying off and I am more active and healthy ,so remember what your going through now is not going to be easy afterward either as we have to work at it for each and every one of our results and goals we want , good luck and hope it gets better for you.

The caption is what got me I was going to post that to someone the other day as people do exchange and buy clothes on here as we lose , I loved that movie and thought about it the other day as I am losing my clothes r getting to big so I may just go through them and post them on here someday,good luk on your journey .

I will try that also, thank you.

You will know when the time comes believe me and it is not good when you slime it is just what it sounds like , if you ever had mucus coming when you have had a cold and coughed of all that flem I don't mean to be graphic but that is what it is like and last a few min. also pbing just means productive burping took me a bit to find out but when it hit did I knew what was happening and for the pbing it happens at the weirdest times it is o k as long as it is not continually,

Regarding Pics.

If you really need to like Missy said just get gold bond powder , or even I have done desitine for babyies and it worked really well for me I would dry off really good and then rub it in place soothing and it worked also I now use gold bond powder spray , just be careful cause it does leave white powder on your clothes or u can even try the good old method powder yourself with cornstartch, I got that from my Grandmothers a LONG time ago.

Ok so how did you lose so fast and congrats , some of it is taking longer will get there tho as I had a 150 lbs to lose when I started and I a almost there to my goal that is as I know everybody is different good for you and keep it up the losing that is not the weight lol I just have my mom take in my clothes so far it has been a yr and 11 days since I was banded so I have only bought 2 out fits and 1 pair of work pants since then , I will buy ore when my mind catches up.

Go to lapband diet foods and mix it up or prepare it for the week when your off on a full day and you will have it for when you need to grab and go to pack for your lunch at work,Don't forget your shakes , water and healthy snacks to keep you satisfied, by the time you know it you will be losing again and being full on little amounts for longer

I prefer the musle milk protein shakes or ready to drink muscle milk and I have heard of the eas drinks also their not to bad , but you have to try what works and tast good to you , you can also look as soe post , just type in protein shakes on this site and their are recipes that people have posted or go to Emilybites and type in protein shakes and you ay be able tp ake your own on what you have , hope this helped,

That is great you have lost a good amount and you know you look good if your showing off your band journey pics , I bet you are more happy with your self as well as you should be and are ore healthier.

Just wait it gets louder , then it will stop being loud and some of it is air good luck on that as sometimes it comes on when your least expecting it , it will settle down but it will not go away but just make sure you can have a healthy snack in those moments and just take a little bite and chew real good after a while you will be used to it , that is when you are able to have solid food.

I also ask for extra veggies , don't have any bread and if there is something I don't think is good I give it to the other people I a with as everybody I know , knows I a banded so they understand and we have a good time .

So far just speaking for myself I have done pretty good with the band and I didn't want them to cut or reroute my stomache as I know everybody is different but just to let you know my vousin had ryn done she did pretty well , my Aunt on the other hand has had her stomache stapled twice , and gastric bypass , went to get the band when they got in there they found her liver was connected to her liver so they did the sleeve and she lost weight with all and gaind back with each so everybody is different but she is doing better with the sleeve but not as much as she had hoped and she knows about nutrition and other things she is a retired R.N.

Ask your doc if there is a way for you to apply for credit , in my state they have a thing called care if you qualify then you just have to make payments like maybe $ 50 to $ 100 a month also I heard but not sure that everyone is entitled to medical ins, so make sure and get your pcp and band surgeon on board and let them know maybe they can help also, hope you get help but you may not need fills as you have been doing great,

Some people do feel ill after , most don't , my doc numbs e firs then fills me ten makes me drink water to make sure it stays down , like missy says it's like getting a shot, I am REALLY afraid of needles so I was very worried when I went for my first fill and it was nothing , only once did my Doc , miss my port but I told him about it and we discussed it and he takes his time and makes sure he finds it every time now, so it doesn't hurt and it shouldn't it should fill like a pinch.

Since you are just banded look at your post op papers and follow them also if you are not able to drink a full 8 oz of water just make sure you constantally drink water maybe 2-4 oz every 15 min, also I know it sees like your not getting enough I felt the same wy and my urine was also dark for about 2 weeks cause I used to be a big soda drinker , ut when I could do clear liquids it started becoming more lighter , still call your doc. to make sure as any questions .

Bread is a no no for me unless it is toasted right , and I have experienced that full feeling , I know some people can not have any bread anymore , bread is starchy and will fill you up and expand quick,

For me personally I don't even try to eat for 4 to 5 hours after as I don't like to hurt myself I get pains still in my shoulder and back , so I just wait , I can try to drink something slowly like sipping when I was first banded , if that goes well then I know I can eat or drink a protein drink but I do have to wait about a hour or 2 before I try to drink , maybe this will help and it depends on the time of day also as my band is tighter at different times and sounds funny but on the weather also.

I personally liked the banana baby food on mushie stage but that's me, sugar free jello ,pudding and popsicles got me through.

Realyl , how smart was to point that out , like you don't look in the mirror everyday , if you see her again then just say well I can lose the weight but you will still look same and we can't change ugly lmao so don't let it bother you cause you took the step to get healthy but that lady will still be ugly in her ways of thinking.
