Awesome!

Hi, I also live very far away but my question is: Is True Results the only resource you have for fills? I know it would be better to stay with the one that knows you but your records can be sent to a new doctor. It maybe time to move on?

That ................. is what its all about!!!!!!!!!!! Great job!

I went to work the next day and regretted it. I made it that day took the next one off lol

Post band I am actually able to eat spicy foods. I used to have to chase spicy foods with tums. I seriously kept a huge bottle of max strength tums in my house at all times. Mind you I have no restriction yet so not sure I will be able to as I go along.

I attend na/aa for free here in my hometown. I am too far away from and support group. My theory is: the support is all about an addiction and I have that. I don't drink or use drugs but I find I can relate to a lot they are saying and its helpful to me.

I slept on the couch for 3 days after surgery, propped up with pillows just shy of sitting up. After that I went back to my bed sleeping on my side and 4-5 weeks out from surgery I could sleep on my stomach again. I sleep a lot better now, No more sleep apnea or heartburn to wake me up in the middle of the night.

Added everyone!

I am working with willpower also and something someone said on this site really resonated with me: "I can eat anything I want, I chose not to" Something like that and I remind myself that everyday. I went thru all this for a reason and my part of this is to get used to lapband portions, learning how to chew, logging foods, drinking enough fluids, how to cook for my protein needs, how not to eat mostly processed foods, Pacing myself and The hardest one for me NOT DRINKING while eating< uggh. I needed this time in "bandster hell" to get used to these things so when I do get to the "zone" im not miserable getting stuck, PB, Vomit those thing freak me out.

14 cc band last week got first fill 2 cc going back on the 16th for another fill. Working with just will power for now.

I am pretty enraged by this. I am so sorry you have to deal with these people it is nowhere near a healthy surgeon relationship. I hope you can find another surgeon who gives a ****. Hang in there!

This is just me but my thought is please don't get addicted to your scale. You will go up and down but as the months go bye you will see the loss if your doing what your supposed to. Your body will hold on to your weight and decide when it wants to release it. Its the overall that counts the daily and weekly do not especially while healing. Keep your eye on the real prize your health and measurements.

Thanks for sharing! I am inspired by your accomplishments! On a funny note your no longer one of those yellow mudcats (appaloosa) < my country girl is showing

Glad you are doing well!

Tonight I ate pork loin, I use turkey like turkey breast ground turkey, turkey bacon, almonds, lots of chicken and protein powder in smoothies

This is amazing! GREAT JOB!

YUM!

Congrats!

Saying a lil prayer for you!

Great job! 67 lbs down, I bet you feel so much better!

Hi Linda! Welcome, Congrats on your band!

Congrats on getting close! Very soon a new beginning! Time to think about stocking up the food pantry with good stuff

Glad your home now. Good for you for getting up and walking! You will recover so much faster. Im an expert at abdominal surgery recovery Ive had 6 variations of abdom surgery and more I got up and walked the faster I healed.

Everyone is different but calcium and a complete multivitamin are my daily routine, per my Dr's instructions.

Make sure you are taking your vitamins also. It took me a week to not feel like I was "dragging"
