Strange Question about Breath
j0anna replied to DebHas's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My dr said no gum or mints. I can only use those breath strips. -

Greek Yogurt = high protein

I put crystal light packet in my yogurt! Sooo good! 10 extra calories and no extra carbs! -
Most multivitamins make me vomit!! So I take flinstones vitamins 2x a day (not at the same time and with meals) with no problem. My doctor actually suggested that before I told him I couldn't handle multivitamins.

Curious as to how many of you don't have any fill at all.. I had surgery 3/8/13 and went back to my first fill appointment (4-15) and he said I didn't need one at that time. Which I totally agree with. Everything has been going great. I've lost 36lbs and not hungry. Go back in a month to see him. I've read that some don't need a fill and just the band is enough. Any of you experience that??

Awesome! I'm so proud of all of us!

Thanks, ladies!

My dr said absolutely no Greek yogurt with fruit (because the protein/carb ratio isn't favorable), but to put vanilla Splenda in it. If you're like me, the thought of vanilla is blah. Lol. So it hit me.. Crystal light!! It's sooooo good. Searched on google and apparently a lot of others have thought of it too. Just wanted to share for you guys that hadn't heard of it.

Anyone else Blog? How did you come out to your friends and family about having LapBand?
j0anna replied to Suzzie81498's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I only told a hand full of people. I have a family member that has seemed to tell everyone else. Not happy about it, but can't change what is already done. I just wished people would respect other people's privacy. -
I do this weird hiccup/burp combo. It's really attractive. Lol never really got the hiccups before, but now I get a single hiccup/burp a lot throughout the day. It's like the hiccup brings the burp to the surface. lol I've gotten used to it.

That's awesome!! I did the 2 week preop diet and that plus now I've lost 28lbs. And we should keep in touch!

Sorry but I have to ask this...

My doctor said not to use anything with the word laxative. It could cause stomach cramping. I can use stool softeners or suppositories if needed. -
Hey, guys! My name is Joanna. I live about 35 mins from Hot Springs. I was banded on March 8th. Haven't regretted a single moment of it!! My dr is Ron Hekier from Texarkana. I tried Wellborn, but no one from his office would call or email me back. I took that as a sign and I love my dr. Any ways.. I'm excited for all of our future healthy selves!! Yay us for making the best decisions of our lives. Xo
