    The Honest Truth....

    I don't think people are rude or mean to be. The problem is not all doctors have the same plans and guidelines. We don't want to give information that might be different. Its great to get support and advice but ultimately you have to answer to your doctor.

    Fat And Depressed

    I agree the trick is to feel satisfied between meals not full. Part of it is eating good solid protein foods. Things like shakes, yogurts and cottagecheese just act like sliders to me. Also the more water you drink the better it will help. Lots of people who thing they need fills are just not eating correctly. This comment is not aimed at anyone specific. Measure, track and chew. Best of luck!

    Protein Shakes Fill Me Up

    I was told a lot of people do shakes in the morning because their bands are tighter. I was told not to rely on them all the time. It is important to eat high protein solid foods. I would love your recipe along with calories,fat and protein if you have it. I never stay full with shakes yogurt and cottage cheese.

    Will Er Know How To Take Fluid Out?

    Definately all Ers do not know how to unfill. The best would be for you to call your doctor. They might have someone on call that can meet you there.

    A Cold Before Surgery?

    This is really not a question for the forum. You really should call your doctor as soon as possible and ask what they suggest. Hope you feel better soon.

    Band And Weight Watchers

    My nurse said its ok to do ww but it is not for me. I feel it allows me too much food. I go to Jenny Craig once a week to weigh in and set a weekly goal. They dont charge me because I had already paid at some point for a lifetime membership. I know the dont have to let me come in but they are so nice in letting me. I have to be accountable in order to stay on track. Somewhere I saw a post for bands and weight watchers. Maybe you can find it. Best of Luck to you.
  19. I am so excited and inspired by you. I am also a bit jealous, but that is ok my time will come. Congrats!!!!
