Oh yikes @@Iowa_summergirl I will keep you in my thoughts!

@@Miss Mac Happy Birthday one day late!

Tons of people have this problem. There's a whole forum on band to sleeve revisions.

I am one of those people that has hiccups ALL. THE. TIME. I also have a tendency to burp a lot. I'm wondering if any of you did this a lot pre-op and if it changed or stayed the same post op. I do not, nor have I ever had trouble with reflux, just hiccups.

I prefer Celebrate vitamins - they are good and average $17/mo if you buy 90 days at a time

Way to start off a new year!

@@BryBro63 I was told that if your Protein bar is a physician approved Meal Replacement then yes, you can include it.

You are an amazing slimsperation to me because our starting height/weight is almost identical. Keep us posted on your future progress!

Literal Translation "I'm jealous of you".

Don't just "hope" it will be the right tool. EXPECT it to be the right tool and work it, girl! You've got this!

You need to talk to your surgeon. I don't think pain like that is normal.

I am banking on the hunger being minimized. I have FEROCIOUS hunger that is the cause of this weight problem. I'm not a grazer or an emotional eater, I just honestly feel like I am starving 90% of the time. That's why I'm dreading pre op diet. But, I know that this tool will work for me, just like it will you, too. Stay positive. That's the very best thing you can do. Don't get caught up in the "what if's", but rather EXPECT to succeed and you will!

Keep us posted on her recovery! Praying with you!

@@scstxrn LOL!

I had my dr. switch me to the tablets to crush. The pharmacist said this was fine for the short term. I plan to crush and mix into a small bite of yogurt or protein shake.

I completely understand. Part of my ultimate motivation is that I just became a grandmother and I have so much trouble holding my grandson. THAT is not acceptable.

You might get more responses in the guys room, too. I think you can post in both places

I'm so scared of puking at work. Not to mention that when I vomit I usually pee. Oh, the fun of growing old...

@@SuzeMuze ugggh, the skirt! I hate those!

I like Unjury, especially the chicken soup.

Good heavens, I can't imagine someone advising that, but ok... Wow what a debbie downer they are! Focus on the POSITIVE and your mind and body will follow.

I'm with @@Elode and I want that crystal ball!

Mine is 12/18 and I've taken off 12/17 to get a pedi, a massage, a long bubble bath, some light reading, drink TONS of water (helps with recovery), prayer, meditation, etc. Total day of relaxation and celebration of my life to come!

I've seen a lot of people doing refried beans for protein if they can't stomach the mushie chicken, etc.
