  1. How exactly do you make the ricotta with spaghetti sauce? Just mix it together and put cheese on top?

    BRA SIZE

    I want to lose some boobies! A few years ago I lost 65 pounds and my bra size didn't change at all. =(
  3. Can you up it to 1/2 cup? That's what I normally get in, and it's been working fine.

    Lady question :)

    My last one ended a day or two before surgery. I'm due around the18ish. I am like clock work, so it will be interesting to see if it's still on track.
  5. Probably gas pains. I get them a lot. =(

    Zoloft

    NutriSystem Foods

    I did it a few years ago for 3 months and lost 35 pounds, but 80% of the food is disgusting, and I'm not picky. If u google low glycemic index, u can do the diet yourself with your own foods.

    Newly Banded and HUNGRY

    I havnt been hungry since surgery but I try to get in 1400 calories a day. Its hard to get to most days, I have good restriction.

    Newly Banded and HUNGRY

    That looks like about 800 calories. Sounds ok to me.
  11. I don't think it sounds all that high. If you are obese, then you probably have a really high bmr.
  12. My goal is 1400 a day. I'm still on mushies so I'm only getting about 800 a day. Eating that few calories isn't good for me, so hopefully I can start getting more in soon!
  13. I didn't have anything like that. I do have numb areas though.

    First day post-op any hints?

    Use the strong drugs. I only needed them for 3 days. You'll feel better before you know it. Sip sip sip.
  15. When does the swelling from surgery go down? I'm 2 weeks out. If my restriction level stayed the way it is now, I don't think I would need a fill.

    Everyone says only eat if you are hungry, but...

    I'm only 2 weeks out, but I have good restriction and I am never physically hungry. When does the swelling from surgery go away? I'm guessing I will be hungry once that happens?

    Why do some people not need a fill?

    I don't know how or why it happens. I am 2 weeks out and I definitely have restriction. My band is totally empty. Could be swollen still????
  18. There are absolutely a few bad apples in the bunch right now. I have thick skin, so they normally don't bother me. I feel they are the ones with the biggest issues, they just aren't letting on. Know whaty I mean. I think they are "leveling" which means trying to knock others down to their level of unhappiness. I try my best to treat everyone the way I want to be treated. Which also happens to be the biggest lesson I am always trying to teach my children. Maybe the "bad apples" were never taught that? On a public message board, its probably best to take everything with a grain of salt. For all we know we could be talking to a 70 pound 11 year old boy. Hehehe

    Can you see/feel your port?

    P.s. I have a realize band, with a low profile port.

    Can you see/feel your port?

    I am only 2 weeks out and can see and feel my port. My port is high, right under my bra line in the center, so there isn't a lot of fat over it.

    50 pounds lighter!

    Fantastic!!!

    Third Fill and no restriction!!

    That sucks! =( I hope you get restriction soon.
