Congrats and good-luck to you!

Miralax is a wonderful tool!

Special K What an cool job you have I find it interesting and creepy all at the same time lol

Yepper on the Folic acid. LOTS of ppl take a pre-nat even if they are not nursing or preg. I sure don't see why you couldn't take it.

Anything with Simithacone in it will help Yes gas-x is awesome and comes in a chewable. Infant colic drops work well but you have to drink lol bout the whole bottle

I got a card from my surgeon but heck I forgot about it til this post. Thanks Has anyone USED their card they have?

I didn't get any either

Welcome to the board and congrats on the band! I know for me when I feel a knot in my chest it is a warning sign that I need to stop, I am full. As for the back pain..I dunno where in the back is it? Do you get it after you eat? Is it just random pain?

The six month diet seems to be pretty common! I had to do it, Time flies VERY fast! Good-luck to you!

Lunch at cracker barrel?

Hey have ya'll checked out the "Men's room" a place to go do ya'll's thing. Man stuff you know. :thumbup:

SO weird...My bp was ALWAYS Normal 120/80. I have had LOW bp problems since surgery. I went in for lab work today and get to do a cardio work up (yay me)

nikole...with all that I may have had a few cookiess too! Lordie

Well heck.....so what did you end up eating you shouldn't have? 5 cookies? I am sure it isn't ideal but you did it now don't do it again before surgery! You know why your on this diet so keep that in mind when you feel the need to eat next time! Chew gum!

OMG how rude for ppl to be sending you private messages telling you they don't believe you! Why make this up? Who would be so bored they come to a lap band board and tell stories? Those of you sending private messages with negative comments shame on you! If someone is looking for help or support and you are not buying into what they are saying...say nothing!

Well I don't even know what half that stuff was you ate but ya know what? Tomorrow is another day and you move on. If you feel today was not your best day then think about how you can make tomorrow better! If we slip up we don't quit..we know to make this work we have to change. So today wasn't good for you......there's tomorrow, and the day after, the week after that, soon a year :seeya: Now it's up to you!

I totally understand and can see how a person with a weight problem can lose and gain such large numbers. My numbers may not have been the same as yours but the journey is/was the same. Dude I think it is awesome that you are taking this step to get the band. I think with your history of weight lose and your desire to experience the success you had in the past you will do AMAZING! Please keep us updated as our stories encourage each other ! Good-luck to you with your surgery!!

Welcome and congrats to you for all the wonderful changes in your life!!!

And the journey begins! Good-luck to you! I don't think I had any questions I wish I asked, just really listen, take notes and research! :seeya:
