I get the grape frost flavor and mix it with lemonade. The taste is tolerable.

If you scroll down on the main page of lbt, there is a whole section on pregnancy with the band I can't post that link because I'm on my mobile.

I used to only weigh myself once a week on Sunday mornings. I do however find myself weighing myself a few times a week, depending on what my diet is from day to day.

I have a Health-o-Meter digital scale. It calculates weight in lbs and body fat %. It customized with your gender and age. It also has settings for up to 2 people.

Congratulations on getting your date and good luck on your weight loss journey.

I am on the patch and have been for 9 months. I've never been on birth control prior to this. I opted for the patch because I wouldn't remember to take the pill everyday. I haven't noticed any side effects and it has not hindered my weight loss.

Congratulations on your weight loss!

I googled this and found quite a few links. Here is one: S.C. case looks on child obesity as child abuse. But is it? - USATODAY.com

Congratulations on your decision to get banded and good luck on your journey.

Congratulations on your decision to get banded. Good luck on your journey.

Depending on your income, you may be able to get temporary/emergency medicaid coverage.

Congratulations on your NSV!

My support group meets every other week. I make it a point to attend regularly. My group is comprised of bypass and band patients, both pre-op and post-op. I've been going for well over a year and find them somewhat useful. There was a time when I decided I didn't need the information or meetings because I felt they were redundant. But now I go without any hesistation. My surgeon's office has an excellent program overall and I love him and his staff. I think the meetings complement the information that I receive here at LBT.

My mother saw me today and said my lips were chapped. At one of my visits to my surgeon's office they made mention of it as well at had me go to the er for an iv. I was told it was due to partial dehydration. I don't have any issues with my skin being dry, other than my lips. I live by chapstick.

Good luck!

I believe that I'm at my sweet spot after a year of fills and unfills. I am definitely tighter in the mornings through early afternoon. Very minimal throwing up as well.

From time to time I use the muscle milk light powder. Some of their flavors are sweet to me, so I don't drink them often.

I'm not a coffee drinker, but I used to be addicted to their hot chocolate. I would always get a venti hot chocolate.

I take 2 children's chewables.

The Active is great for the wii. Have you tried a rowing machine or elliptical machine? You will get a good workout if you mix either in with the treadmill.

I was told yesterday by the nutritionist, to use calcium carbonate. I don't like calcium chews or wafers. Maybe I'll try the liquid calciium.

Way to go Apples2

I have lost a little over 80 lbs and went from a double d to a d, I think they're a d now. Anyway, if they get any smaller, I will worry. I've always been confident about my body. I'm probably a little cocky now though, lol. I have about 35 lbs left to lose. As far as plastic surgery goes, the most I would get would be a breast lift. I love my breasts but I'm not interested in making them bigger even after I lose the rest of my weight.

I was 28 when I was banded.
