I wanna do this too! Congrats!

Sending positive healing energy your way. So sorry for your family's loss. Mom's are so often the glue that holds everyone together. Prayers.

Ok, there are several clear liquids. sugar free Jello, clear protien drinks, crystal light, sugar free Popsicle, go on line, I love amazon for it's diversity of products, secure ordering and delivery. broth, all kinds. You could even open up a can of Soup and strain it. Don't forget about spices. Cinnamon in your tea or coffee etc.. You can do this. Almost all of us had a pre op liquid diet. The first two to three days are tough, it gets easier. A year from now, you will be the one to say this to someone else to pay it forward! Dig down deep girl! Try to see it as a challenge, not an obstacle. Change your internal dialog from I don't think.. To I can do this, just watch me! You are not a quitter! Try to plan to keep yourself busy, do something you love, a craft, a juicy new book, get up off your bum and move! Keep your mind off of it. I know you can, as Carolina girl says: if you WANT IT.

Have your shake before you cook for your family. It helps if you are not starving. You will have many meals with them in your future, it's only 14 days... Good luck! You can do it!

I had lap band and I have stairs to bedrooms. No problems at all.

Swelling after the surgery makes you feel less hungry, as your body heals you will have an increased appetite. You can live off your body weight for months, so not to worry, just make sure you are staying hydrated. Good luck!

Just ask your doc's office, they probably will do it.

Same thing, do a crunch small pinch no big deal....

RUN!

Small Townes do have high turn over on doctors! If you are lucky enough to actually have an m.d. Good luck! Do the best you can with what you have. You sound motivated, it will work out.

Hi Joe, Protein and veggies. eggs, Canadian bacon, Greek yogurt, Protein shake if you don't have time for Breakfast Easy lunch, deli turkey breast use iceberg lettuce for wraps, in fact any lean meat wrapped in lettuce. Fish, steamed broccoli, cauliflower Greek yogurt smoothies Salads with chicken, meat, fish, with waldon salad dressings or salsa Good luck, welcome back!

Cover with a band aid so it doesn't poke you with your clothes?

Calm down, chill out.... these are all reasons for getting the lap band.... It's all gonna be ok.

Don't get dehydrated! If all you can get down is Popsicles, go for it! Call your doc before you have to be put on I.V. Fluids. You can go along time without food but you need water!

I try to look at situations like this as a blessing. There may be a reason why you are meant to have a delay. Have patience, it will happen when it is supposed to.

Oh my gosh! He is just gorgeous! So pleased everything went well for you and your new child! Blessings you lucky lady!

Good one Terry,! LOL

Girl! You look awesome!!

How about a "dance" exercise video?

Speechless. It's so wrong. I hope insurance or finances turn around for you in the future for you to get what you need. Big hug!

If this is the sinusitis bug that is going around, you are going to need lots of musinex! Probably some cough med too. Head for the primary doc if you start getting head& face ache. Seriously, it took over a month for me to get rid of it, and coughing after being newly banded, hurts! Feel better soon! Much luck, hope it just the common cold!!

That would be a great idea!

So true PT, We are all experts at loosing weight.... Not so much keeping it off...until now.

Consider yourself wished ! Welcome, join in anytime!

I had to stop watching utube and the neg. post on the board, I KNEW the band is right for me, but all the other stuff sure feeds into our fears... Good luck to you!
