  1. I had to do the 6 month diet. I do better by counting calories and found that Calorie Counter, Diet Tracking, Food Journal, Nutrition Facts at The Daily Plate worked for me.

    Spicy foods?

    Before the band spicy foods would give me bad heartburn. Now I can eat them and enjoy.

    Sneezing, Coughing, Hiccups, Burping!

    I don't have any issues with hiccups. I have turned into one big burp bag. I can count on getting big burps around 2 o'clock every day.

    Does anyone feel this??

    I was banded on 5/12. The only reason I knew I had to eat last night was the low blood sugar shakes. I see my doctor on Wed and I am going to ask why I don't feel hungry at all and I can only eat maybe a 1/4 of a cup or less of food.

    Does Anyone Else Have This Problem??!!

    It is all I can do not to run into the exercise center at work and jump on the scale every morning I walk into the building. I think sometimes I hear it calling my name

    Captive audience

    What about bedside manners. I can understand the questions I will welcome the questions, but I will not tolerate bad manners. They are there to help us with the band not to make us feel like crap.

    I am doing this for me.

    When your husband really does not want you to have the surgery and keeps harping on the PX90 exercise program :tt2: "I AM DOING THIS FOR ME"
  14. My Grandma Liz told me "Think of losing and gaining weight like filling a bag of sand. When you fill it up you start from the bottom up. When you start taking sand out you start from the top down." :tt2: I think I will need something done with the sisters and the tummy.

    Re-Schedule (sigh)

    Thank you to my thyroid medication I started taking it for the first time last week. When my neck and shoulders start hurting I thought it was stress or being in front of a computer for to long. After I took the med on Saturday my arms and hands felt like I did to much painting (I am not painting anything) or streching (not streching anything). I could not even hold anything in my hands:scared2: Did not take my thyroid med on Sunday and finally talked to the doctor on Monday. She said to wait until my arms stopped hurting and take a half of pill. Well they stopped on Monday early evening with the help of Alive and another pain med. Took the half of pill and my fingers swelled up like cooked johnsonville brats :ohmy: Interesting to see what happens tonight when I take it. Because of having to take the Alieve and my bodys reaction to the thyroid med I had to push my surgery to May 12th

    Good news today ..

    Have you heard back from your insurance company yet. It was my insurance company that asked that I get another thyroid test at the end of November 08. Once I had that taken care of it did not take that long at all. I think it all depends on your insurance.
  19. My doc does 5 days before surgery for the liquid diet. I already told my dh that I am sorry before even starting because I know I will be a big grouch .

    Approved, Approved, Approved

    I have been approved by my insurance. :sneaky: But as I sit here wiping off my cookie crumbs from my key board :confused: I am thinking why am I doing this. Then I look down at my big belly and say I need the help, in more ways than one :thumbdown:.

    Anyone hypothyroid with the LB?

    I was diagnosed with hyper. I had to take an iodine radiation pill and go back to the endo next week to see if it is going hypo, I am also trying to get approved for the band (Insurance wanted my tyroid checked, after the six month weight loss, that is how I found out I was hyper). The endo and Dr. Snows office said I should not have an issue getting approved with a hypothyroid.
