Perhaps he's changing and treating you better, not so much because of your weigh loss, per se, but because YOU yourself are changing. Maybe you're "happier" than before and he sees that.

No, but what I DO recommend is asking the doctor if he/she can add "some" saline during surgery because your insurance is running out... Thy way, if it takes a little time to find a place, at least you would have already had some restriction. Most doctors don't add during surgery, if yours is one if those, he/she might make an exception. Good luck with surgery.

Did you feel your pouch STRECHED when you ate that sandwich??

The only foods I "mourned" were steaks & ribs... I haven tried having them, so I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to. Good luck on Wednesday!!!

Awwww, you guys!!! I feel a deep connection with all of you who had the wonderful Dr. Ren operate on you. Yeyyyy us! Who does your fills?? I get them done with Frank.

It's also a lot more expensive, Eller. I'm getting the side of my face done and it CAN get pricy.

CONGRATZ!!! Who was your surgeon? Carolinagirl... It absolutely WAS a head issue. I did eat a little more than usual today (about 100 calories more) but they came from Protein & green veggies.

Lmao @ "flap of shame"

I get lazier in the side of my face with phenomenal results.... But never considered my kitty getting zapped.

This is a difficult time for everyone, but you CAN be successful. Do what was suggested above, and remember to focus on healing. This too shall pass

I'm aware we are NOT supposed to drink our calories, but every now-and-then I still replace a meal with a protein shake. Am I cheating myself (and the band)??

Muscle Milk is lactose-free. If you're going to try the almond milk, which I love, start with the original one (not the unsweetened one) because it might turn you off at first.

Thanks for sharing your story.

Not being able to keep liquids down can be VERY dangerous. Like the above poster said, those are tell-tale signs that you might need some taken out. If you DO, please don't delay it. Get it done YESTERDAY!

It depends how much do you have to lose, age, genetics and a whole lotta stuff.

Jean, I was falling in LOVE with you (in a non-romantic way) while I was reading, only to get to the end and see: CLICK HERE TO SEE THE ARTICLE LoL!! Thanks for posting it!

Don't apologize for venting, we are here to listen to you. I'm sorry you're struggling and I pray there's a ray of relieve in your situation soon. Best wishes. My hairdresser introduced me to a product for hair loss. It's garlic based, has a little garlic odor (that goes away) and works MIRACLES!! I first bought the small 5 bottle, and before I finished it, I saw a difference in the amount of hair that fell out. I would be more than happy to mail you a bottle, free of charge, and if you like the product, we can have some kind of arrangement. PM me Feel better!! I should say its in liquid form and goes directly on your scalp. You can use it every 3 or 4 days. You apply to scalp and leave it in.

LMAOOOO ^^^^

Good to know! Thanks, guys!!

CONGRATZ on that beautiful boy!

Good luck!! In the meantime, put into practice all that you've learned, so by the time of surgery comes, you'll be a pro!

When you said "over ate" I pictured a sixteen century king's feast... That doesn't sound like much food. Please call them. If you don't mind, why are you so unhappy with them?
