You can also look a doc up here on this site and see what people say about him or her.You need doc with lots of experience and a low complications rate...after the procedure your relationship is usually more with the nurses or PAs to get fills.

I cant even stand the isopure ones...there's something in them that looks like sea monkeys and they taste awful!!! I use a few protein bars and put some whey powder in soups and V8 and stuff. Tried the bullets or shots or whatever (big red slimey test tubes from GNC) and I couldnt even swallow it! I need help too!

Thanks. You'll get tons of good info and support here...ask us ANYTHING!!! If youre not already following the band_groupie blog, its a good way to get started and learn a lot!

She's PERFECT! People are hideous! These same people probably have something that actually does make them a bad parent but you cant see it...alcoholism, abuse, smoking, etc !!!Otherwise why are they looking at someone else...again, she's PERFECT!!!!

Just any big drugstore. It is a huge white band with velcro. The whole thing is stretchy and it goes around your waist from under boob to top of panties...it really holds your gut in tight so nothing can move and hurt....I woke up with mine on and was told to keep it on for two weeks except to shower...send a friend out for one!!!

Just keep going, its all you can do...good luck!

Good for you...ALWAYS do whats best for you...and only YOU know that! Yes I surf and the port is no problem yet but I am still 30 pounds overweight...5"4" and 175. It does stick out...I see it in the mirror especially if I have my arms up like blowdrying or whatever...but it never bugs me. There's lots of soft stuff under it even if youre skinny to let it sink into when you lay on a hard surface...that's what my doc said. I had asked about the surfing and since I got banded in LA apparently its a common question and he said he has not had any patients with a problem with it!

I was just reading about Isopure protein water and wondering if I could freeze it into cubes, add some tequila, triple sec, and lime juice to it in a blender and,,, well, you get the idea!

Does it taste ok? I need more protein and I bought some 'shots' in big red plastic test tubes at GNC and wow I gagged they were so bad! They were the consistency of semi melted jello but they tasted like a dead dog, I think!!!

Hey, panic attacks are self-protective! In the MRI its telling you dont crawl into a hole...Taco Bell is telling you that stuff'll kill you! JUst kidding but panic attacks are natures way of telling you whats going on with yourself...having them probably makes you more insightful and self aware than others as long as you dont let them limit what you do! You seem like one of the least weak-willed people I have met on here...nobody has their sh*t together...give yourself a break but keep blogging!

Maybe once you've lost some weight it wont be an issue. But I knew someone who got one, didnt think she needed it, hated it, but...after wearing it a few nights she coulndt believe how good and rested she felt all day. She had thought her constant fatigue was just normal. Good luck Jaxie! PS The octopus had me ROFLing!

I would count both of the kids' remarks as NSVs (non scale victories)! Agree on the fill I would never be able to eat more than about half of one and that's good for me!

3/2/10 Day 18 of the HCG diet
xavier commented on tonya66's blog entry in Sunshine2's (Tonya's) Journal
Looks like simple starvation to me... I dont know anything about this diet but your menu for 2/16 was 300 calories? How can you ever get off this without rebound gain...? Am I missing something? -
Thanks for that post...lucky woman!

Can you tell us the difference between the two procedures?
