Wow Sal, 19 lbs. That's awesome. I don't have the surgery so I am onlyspeaking from the perception of others profiles that I've read. I think each person is different. 1. men lose faster and more efficiently then woman. 2. You are on liquids for the most part, and that certainlyhelps. 3. You were already a huge water drinkers, that's certainly an added bonus 4. Your metabolism is picking up and trying to adjust to your body going into starvation mode. so even though you are technially getting the nurtients, its still a change from what you normally ate. All that to say, I think it is normal and you will see fluctuation as your body adjust. Congrats and keep up the good work. I've had a major set back. My doc, doens't except in -network benefits, and my insurance only does innetwork. The office didn't even want to give me a referral for anothyer doc, even though, it was there oversight when I originally gave them my card. So now I don't know when I am going to be banded, and I found out I am pregnant, yesterday so that certainly didn't help...

Congrats........................I am so happy for u.

Hope all went well. Let us know how your doing.

I am concerned...I did not get my cycle for November and I am to freaked out to have a pregancy test.....I wanted to get my tubes tide but I was going to wait until after I had the lapband.........

You and your family are in my thoughts. You will be ok and even though you'll be in post op section, you have to come back and let us know how everything went with you. Good Luck...

Just enjoy the rest of your daysss.....and since you don't have to do the preop....you can enjoy your food.

I was looking at the Ninja and then I saw Montell's Health Master. http://www.myhealthmaster.com/ I was watching the infomerical and I am sold. It's expensive but my poor little blender has had it. I am ok in the kitchen. nothing to brag about, the basics and I have 3 boys so it's going to be tough.

hmm...my mother in law does not make hers with tomatoes, I guess that might add some irritation to you stomach. She turkey stock by College Park and sometimes, she make a cream based turkey Soup and a broth base. Since I know that I have to give up the cream, I am trying to do the right thing now and stick with the broth's. Turkey salad....with mayo or without mayo? I am in to trying anything as IDK, if I can do the pre-op without having a little flavor, those Protein shakes are horrid for the most part. If anyone else has tried liquid alternatives made from broth based Soups, please post.

I know I kinda miss the email notifications as well. We are doing great thanks for asking. You know I asked my mother in law to make her famous turkey soup, so that I can filter the solids and have only the broth. I think that would be and awesome flavorfilled liquid alternative.
