Thank you, I may try this and see if it works for me ! :cry

:help: :help: :help: :help: ok i'm right along with all of you, my first fill is june 6 also and my scale isn't moving either, my doctor still has me on liquids and of course i'm still not getting my protien because I can't stand the taste of the different ones, but I am looking into the unjury.com (I think it is) to get that non flavor protien stuff to see how that does! Also I know i'm not drinking enough water in between, I feel like i'm going to over do it so I just keep forgetting to drink which i'm sure is not good. I really need help with this thing my doctor says if I call again complaining of hunger there going to advance me to the next levels of food, and I don't want that because i'm going to feel like I failed ! :cry The next level of food that they have laid out makes me feel like i'm on the atkins diet. I'm going to my primary doctor this thursday so I can get back on diet pills I hear that helps to curve the appetite now with even having the band !

We can name the new thread " Thr journey of the April Bandits" I don't know but that is what came to my head !

Ok thank you I will try and see if I can find one that I like, i'm so picky when it comes to eating !

Thanks for thinking of me Roberta and everyone else. It's me msheavensent (shelly) well like the other girls were saying, i was feeling extremely weak today, I know i'm not getting my protien like I should the shakes and the other flavor powder packs u mix with water are just horrible to me and it makes me more nauseated than what I was without them. SO I NEED HELP WITH THE PROTIENS. Next my nutrionist has me on liquids for 2 weeks that is the standard for the doctors office I go to we go to mushies on the 3-4 week. Other than that I guess everything it what I expected, I really hope I made the right decision. I have lost a few pounds at least that is what the scales says, but I will know for sure when I go to the doctor on thursday for my first post op visit. Well sitting up is hurting my laceration i'm going to take a happy pill and lie down for a while. Good luck and welcome home new bandits. With this support on here we all will do well ! Msheavensent: We were waiting to hear from you!!! Welcome home. You can battle that "food dragon". It's that head hunger that can kill you. Once you see those numbers going down on the scale, it will help you hold your course. Roberta

Ok I was banded on 4/28 which was friday i am still very sore in the biggest laceration spot I guess that's where the port is, i'm starving these liquids are just not doing it. I don't feel hungry but in my head I am begging for some chicken, bread, just anything, so hopefully this will pass ! pray for me please !

How soon can you have sex after having the band put on ? Well I guess it is different for everyone but I was just curious, I know this is a little out there , i'm really not a freak, it's a part of life, but I was just wondering !

Glad to see your doing good :clap2:, thanks for the update it definetly helps me with some of the concerns I had in mind before my big day !

jeepgurl you have already lost 20 pounds that is WONDERFUL :clap2: , how did u do that ?:uwelcome: Goodluck pre-banders, u will be in my prayers, and welcome home to the newest april banders, glad to hear your doing well !

I know but I didn't see it anywhere, but thanks anyway !

Ok I cannot explain what sex is, you guys are going to have to pick up the phone and call your parents, siblings, or bestfriends so they can tell u about the birds and the bee's ! I'm sorry I just can't explain that and I wanna believe yall are joking, but if not i'm sorry !

Thank u, I understand now I hope I never have to go through that !

Ok I know all doctors are different but I wasn't given a pre op diet! My pre op day is 2 days before surgery so I guess I won't get one, but that would really suck if they open me up and then decide not to do anything because of the fatty stuff or a big liver ,I think that's what u were saying ! Great now this is something else to add to my list of worries! I'm calling the doctors office first thing tomorrow !

Yeah what is PBing ?

Yes u can definetly tell, AWESOME JOB,:clap2: showing these pictures of you is a inspiration Thank You & Great Job keep it up!

Lol thank you !

Welcome home new bandsters, glad to know u are doing well ! I just can't wait for my day I have about 17 more days ! Everyone is in my prayers !

Hello there how are u I was looking @ your weight lost the first week after being banded, How did u lose so much weight so fast ? I am about to be banded on 4/28 and I know everyone is different but I was just curious !Congrats on your weight lost !!! :clap2: Thanks in advance !

Thank u so much I am so nervous, and still kind of confused about what I can eat the first couple of weeks or I should say what I can drink, but it will all fall together i'm sure, I think i'm making it more confusing then what it is. Well again thank u and good luck !

Hey there well i'm not 35 but i'm 24 and I have a band date of April 28, 2006, i'm so happy words :speechlescan't express how I feel :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: ! So good luck to everyone this month and any months to come, and congrats to all who have been banded for a little while now and are slim and trim and loving it ! Well wish me luck ! :fencing: :update:

I want this lap band procedure so bad but i'm afraid of the drastic food changes I will have to make, i'm a very picky eater and I don't like alot of your healthy vegetables like I should, I mean i cannot stand onions at all green, white, yellow, none of them, I don't like mushrooms, and lots of other ones. SO my question is what kind of foods are good for you to help you loose weight with getting the lap band without starving yourself to death like I may have to because I know I will need to learn better eating habits so please help me understand getting the band and what kinds of foods you should eat ?????????!!

Thank You very much. Well, it's good to know i'm not the only one !!!

Hey everyone I go for my first consultation with Dr. Kent on Monday Jan. 23, 2005 @ 4pm wish me luck !!!

Thanks so much for your reply, hearing good things about this doctor's office is really helping I just pray that my insurance is approve. Keep up the good work and,Congratulations on the beginning of your new life !!!:faint:

Hey thanks so much, yes this lap band surgery is all new to me I will definitely check out that website thanks for your reply !
