I tried many different protein shakes and the only ones I like.. (yes, I actually LIKE to drink them!) are Muscle Milk and Muscle Milk Lite. Hope you find something you LIKE!

Awesome news!! Congratulations!!

I didn't have to do a pre op diet and my BMI was 50 ~ 1 month later it's 45!!

Ha ha! I miss home, I'd love to go shopping at Queensgate!! I've been here 7 long years!!

Glad you feel better today, makes me think I need to wait it out, thanks!!

Had my first fill this morning. I now have 3 cc's in my 10 cc band. After I left my doctors office I noticed the familiar burning of acid in my mouth. I e-mailed my doctor and he said I could be swollen because of the fill or I may be super sensitive and I could come in tomorrow for a slight unfill. I am taking liquids just fine, no nausea or throwing up. I don't know whether to wait and see if it is swelling and the reflux goes away or to just go in tomorrow for the slight unfill....uggg. Anyone have a similar story or words of wisdom they could share, please and thank you!

Percocet makes me nauseous too, can you call you doc and ask for a a prescription for anti nausea meds? I had the ones that dissolve on your tongue and they helped so much.. Drink small sips as often as you can, walk as often as you can, use a heating pad for gas pains. For me, the really bloated gassy fullness went away around day 4 or 5, that's when I could feel my hunger more but the swelling could last weeks. Definitely call your doc if your temp gets higher but I was told by my daughters surgeon that a low grade fever sometimes accompanies surgery, she had a 99.8 fever last week after her surgery and it lasted only 1 day and then went away..but keep an eye on it...Congratulations on your surgery!!...in a week you will feel like a different person, I promise....

That's awesome! and you look amazing!

I'm so very sorry for your loss Tiffany...

I'm from Huntingdon, not far from you Patrick!...but I don't live there , I live in Las Vegas...

Yes, I do have TriWest, my husband is at Nellis.....no Brian?...I saw him in December..I really liked him too

Yes, United Health Care won the contract and they take over in April....hopefully it will be easier to get wls surgery with the new insurance...I really hope so..

Valentines day!! Congrats on your upcoming banding!

Thanks ladies!....I'm leaning towards doing my 48 hours of liquids and hoping the reflux goes away. If not I will go in next week for an unfill..

That's great!! I saw Dr Soong for my first fill this morning. I'm good, thank you so much for asking...I hope it's something silly like missing paperwork or something that can be fixed.....I'm so very sorry...

That's the spirit!...hoping that it can all be worked out for you....wish I could help. I'm in Vegas too..

I'm so sorry

Awesome news!! Congrats on your approval!!

I was banded the same day as you and have lost 26 lbs post op...it's true everyone is different. Congrats on your 18 lbs lost, that's awesome!!

That sounds more like it! Enjoy!!

Totally normal!! You'll do great and it is a great thing happening...congrats on your upcoming surgery!

I thought the same thing as Floridays...the calories seemed high for the food listed.....sounds like a yummy lunch to me though!
