Mia I had a hard time drinking all the liquids they recomended too. When I called Dr B's office Terry said just do the best you can. Take small sips and sip constantly. Take care.

I was so excited I told everyone that even appeared to be interested. I started a "lapband revolution" in my office. there are now 5 of us who have either gottenthe lapband or will have it in a few more weeks. I love my lapband and love to tell everyone how wonderful it is. I even had a conversation with the lady in line behind me a tWalmart about it, OK maybe I just like to talk but still it is really a wonderful thing!!!

OK guys I had to try these too!! Sams Club has a box of 12 individual 5 oz packages for less than 8 bucks. You put it in the microwave and put the packet of sea salt on it and enjoy. It is still in the pods so you have to eat slower and it is really good. Even my hubby and kids are eating it now. Thanks for the tip Lauren!!!!

Mia So glad to hear you are doing good. Keep up the walking and stay ahead of any pain on the meds and you should be great. Take care.

Right now I am at 1200 a day but I don't have good restriction and not losing as quickly as I would like.

Mia You are in my prayers tonight. Like you said everything is going to be fine, keep up the positive attitude and it will all go well. Take care.

Pamela I am always off by 4:00 and it takes about 45 minutes to get to Tifton.

Pamela Can they fix the DHEA problem? I hope so, and soon you don't need to get too discouraged. I haven't been exercising like I know I should but I am trying to get back in the habit. Take care.

Pamela How are things going since last weeks fill? I hope you are doign well. I go for my next one on Tuesday of next week and hopefully i will feel a difference. It seems like I can eat more since I had my first fill than I could before I got it, I know it is all in my head but still! Let me know how things are going. Take care!

Mia!! Chill darling! Dr B has a great reputation and like you said you just have to put it in God's hands. You will be in my prayers and everything is going to be fine. Before you know it you will have it all over with and you will be on your way to a healthier you. Take care, calm down and think happy thoughts! I can honestly say this surgery is the best thing I have ever done for myself and I am sure you will be able to say the same. Let us know how you are as soon as you feel up to it. Take care!

My 17 year old daughter is taking a body scullpting class so she comes home with all kinds of things that I "SHOULD TRY!!" I told her tonight that she has to give me time to catch up so we are taking it slow, I am so sore from what she had me do tonight that I think I am ging to die. I hope you enjoy your weekend. Take care

I had one done to prove a comorbidity for my surgery I used the hospital here in Albany and hey billed my insurance about $2800. Hope that helps.

Hope the trainer went well.. I sat in a four hour long meeting so I got no exercise in tonight maybe tomorrow will be better.

I am a mail carrier for the Post office.

Pamela I am glad to hear that you feel some restriction. I go for my nest fill on the 22nd and I hope it ends up being my sweet spot. Elizabeth doesn't think I will need very many. She seems to think I am going to have an easier time getting to where I need to be for some reason. I have 4cc in my 10cc band and I think I would be happier if we could just fill it up and work our way backward instead of the other way around. Take care.

Nancy I am exactly the same everytime someone finds out I had lapband they say " You aren't that fat!' I want to scream but I just smile and say Thank you but I really am. Where in Fla are you from? I love to drive down to Tallahassee and shop if your close we may have to do lunchj next time I am there.

Mia She feels the port, no flouro. BUT she seems pretty good she takes her time and explains everythign and tallks to you alot. I really liked her. After my post op visit at ten days DrB went ahead and moved me to mushy food so you may have more of a selection than you would think for our meeting. If not soups are aways a good choice. Take care I have to go to work and get off this computer!!!

Nancy I am impressed! 8:00 and headed to the gym, I came home from work and crashed I ave to get more motivated. How about a little mutual butt kicking? I was looking at out stats and we are really close to the same. How tall are you? I'm 5'9" and my weight is fairly evenly distributed. Keep up the good work, now I guess I need to go get on the treadmill!

Pamela The first week in Feb is great for me. Good luck on the fill today!! I hope you get the right restriction this time. Mia I know exactly what you mean about always quitting. A few years back I went to a dr. that gave me diet pills. I lost alot of weight but as soon as i stopped taking them I gained every pound back plus a few. Since then I have always felt like a failure and have let it get to me anytime the diet didn't work overnight, but this time is different I can do it! Being anxious about your surgery is normal, the day of my surgery the nurse kept laughing at me saying I looked like a little kid waiting to go to Disney world. You will be great you have just the right attitude to do this. Take care everyone!!

Yeah Mia!!! No bread!! That is good. Do you miss it or ae the cravings gone? I really noticed a severe decrease in the cravings once I started following the Sugar Busters diet to a T. You will be in my prayers as your time gets closer.

Pamela I hate to be a party pooper but I will have to skip the 17th, I have already obligated myself for that night. I will be there the next month if you all do it again. Mia Congratulations on the surgery day. You will be banded in no time and on your way. Take care everybody!

I just made some of these and they are great!!

I don't know tifton at all but those all sound like pretty decent options. I am with Pamela we need to avoid buffets. Take care.

Fine then I will just leave and go some where else. Just kidding!! I see your point! So keep up the good work all of you!

I love the mahi-mahi and any kind of crab. I use imitation crab meat as areal go to food. It is a great source of protein but be careful some brands have added carbs.
