I have a question. I am taking a cold and when I do I usally take alkaselzter cold and flu medicine. Will that effect the band after I let it sit and fizz for a while?

Did the newsletter Jeannie mentioned at the support group Monday get emailed. I didn't get a copy if it did could someone send it to me?

I am doing good with it. I had my first fill last Monday. I found out the hard way that I had to be careful with dry foods now that I don't have any drinks with meals. I choked a little on a dry piece of chicken. I will be at the meeting Monday, I will play golf early that day.

Hello, I was wondering if anybody here goes to the Family fitness center. I started this week and the instructer has been very nice an curtious.

Another thing that I do with Tilapia is I broil it. If you can find some blacken season or Mrs. Dash spray the fist whith cooking spray and season on both sides let rest for 5 min then broil for about 3 min on each side.

Everything is going well, I am on my fith week of post-op and I have my first fill on Monday Sept 14th

The other question I forgot to ask Kaplan was about Exercise. When do I go back to a regular workout? I have been walking some lightly in the park but that is about it.

The meeting was cancelled on Monday is there going to be a make up date and time. Another question I have is that I begin mushie stage on Friday, my girlfriend was wanting to cook me something and she was wondering if she can take lean ground turkey/beef and fry it up then run it through a food processer to cut up even more when done and add it to gravy?

Hello, Surgery went good and I have been doing well. I still have an issue with a little bit of gas in the morning but overall doing ok. I am tired of broth and taking it easy by walking around. I am glad it is raining so I will not miss playing golf as much.

I made the weight loss requriement again so I am ready for surgery on thursday. Now is the time for nerves to start. I am going to my parents house to recover due to my apartment being stairs and more stairs and not to be alone during recovery.

I have been looking at different protien powders to use after surgery. Does anyone have any recommendations?

That is great I go for my second pre-op:ohmy: on Thursday. the 7th. Right now back on the 2 week diet and hating my tv for putting up olive garden comercials:drool:

Yes, my new surgery date is August 13th. I start the 2 week diet Thursday again.

I couldn't find it on the web page but that sounds interesting. The Cardiac specialist cleared me for surgery now it is just a waiting game to get a new surgery date. I know Susan is on vacation this week and the office told me that they haven't gotten a letter from Avington yet. My insurance clearence has expired should I get in contact with Jeanie about that or will the office handle an extension?

The nurse at Kaplans told me as soon as they get the all clear from the Cardio department they will get me in asap. I will have to go back on liquid diet again to lose ten pounds but that will not be a problem

I agree I am below 400pound for the first time in 2 years although the 19 pound in 2 week about did me in. It was to rapid of a loss for me Jeannie said was why my energy was down. It could be "Obesity caused Tachycardia" also that is causing mine to be messed up. I feel fine right now and will keep up my regular diet and exercise. I will also copy some of the recipes in the cookbook if you want them. There is a couple of chicken and fish ones that I am eating now.

I went for my weigh in with Jeannie today and found out there was a problem with my EKG. My surgery is post-poned till I see a cardio tech and and will probably end up having a stress test. The good news was that I did lose the weight.

How did your surgery go? I am having mine on July 2nd and right now I am nervous.

You are right, I was trying to chew them to see how good they would go and they are impossible to chew. So scratch that idea. I got a cookbook I puicked up at Ollies title diet after bariactic surgery. I been looking at some of the recipes in it and it tells you what stage they are for.

I know one of the 4 oz of protien I found is the Roasted Garlic chicken links in Sams. 1 link has 5g 5, 17g protien, and less then 1 carb.

I know the feeling I am my 2 week diet and it is as bad as everyone says. Especially at work where most of the people went out to chinese for lunch. I have an IVC filter placement on the June 25th. My surgery date is July 2nd.

I know I had many fun memories there at the place.

I have an appointment with Dr. Kapalan Monday where abouts is his office located at? I know it is somewhere in Vienna is it bac off of Grand Central Ave?

I have the basic option and I started the process in December and had visit to a dietician to monitor my weight and diet class. I also had the physc exam. I am schedualed to see the surgen on June 15, to schedual my surgery date. I think it also varies with the surgon you go to.
