Well, I have 2.8 in mine right now. I probably could use a little more, but I'm going to wait and see. You might need more later on, only time will tell.

I got it that time Paula, did you get mine back?

If you are pbing, you need to go back on liquids for a few days and let the swelling go down. Please, take your time eating. I know it is hard to begin with, but you will be so happy you got your band a few months down the road. If you continue to pb, please call your doctor.

Welcome to bandland Doc! I'm glad things went well for you. You'll feel better each day. Remember to do some walking around and keep sipping that water. If you get any shoulder pain, a heating pad works wonders! Zan - I sur hope things get better for you. I know how exhausting it can be. Hugs! Cindy - Yes, we will have to get together sometime. I think that would be fun! Beanie - You are doing great already, I can't imagine how good you'll do when you are actually banded! :clap2: Sherry - I used to use the Seargento light string cheese when I was first banded, I forgot all about it for some reason. It really does help, especially for a quick snack. Dianne - Sometimes it is just the simple things that make us the happiest!:biggrin1: Patty - Hope you enjoyed your day off! Anne - Sometimes I would not lose anything all week, then the next week, down 5 pounds! Hang in there. Pat - Your home is so beautiful! You have it landscaped beautifully. Are you on a lake? I didn't know if it is a lake or pond or river. Eileen - How lucky you are to get that soup so cheap! I had a $1.00 off coupon for one and thought that was great. Have you tried any of the others flavors? I was wondering if they were all good? Well everyone have a great night! I am going to go finish watching the Mav's play.

My pager says I have a message, but when I open it, nothing is there:cry

Hey, good things come to those who wait! :)

T-shirts! I love them with jeans!

Mine was actually really good. She just explained what I would be eating on each phase and what would be good choices and bad choices. You'll just be getting a lot of information.

Welcome to LBT and bandland. It really does get easier with each day.

I agree, start the diet and the appeal! What have you got to lose?????

You can, you can, you can! Now, consider yourself kicked in the A$$:biggrin1: :biggrin1:

Great NSV! :biggrin1: :biggrin1:

Carnation Instant Breakfast at any store!

Anytime you PB you should do liquids!

Sometimes we just have to take charge of our own bodies. Good for you for doing just that!:biggrin1:

I follow the banster rules of protein first, then veggies at least most of the time.

Good luck!

I'll second that one! :)

Good luck! Let us know when you get a date!

You can and will do it! consider yourself kicked in the A$$! :)

I agree, I would want someone with more experience.

My DH is mad because mine is louder than his! I love it!:biggrin1: :biggrin1: Jalynn - Nice bike! You look great on it too!

Mmmmmmm, Carol's crab dip is great people!:biggrin1: :biggrin1:

Thanks for letting us know!:biggrin1:

Welcome to LBT and congrats to you on the surgery dates. Each surgeon is different, it depends on how busy he is so I don't think anyone can give you and exact date. I have seen some people have a week, some a couple of months.
