Yeah, Kaceyellen1986, where re you at. I am in Lakeland, and drive an hour,too!

Maybe is the only answer I or any of us can give. Call your surgeon's office and ask those questions. Best wishes to you!

That is what usually happens, and I am almost 5 years out! Even today, if I drink too fast it will come back up, or I will feel miserable for a long time until it finally goes down, it is best to drink sips, or at least slowly!

I agree, rant away, you will find a lot of too drastics or just exercise more, or just diet! Lapband, sleeve, etc all are drastic but we know that we need drastic measures, too! We need to take the measures that we have taken because we can't control our yoyo. Wishing you the best of luck.Karen

Are you kidding me.....Cool Whip is an edible oil! I would never put something like that in my body...... LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL I agree! much better would be a little whipped cream!

Wow! I am surprised that your doctor has said it is ok to eat regularly now. But anyway, until you get restriction, it is like a diet! Just watch what you eat

liquids, clear preferably. and what dream said! call you dr in AM!

Yes, it should,but hey! you have lost 20 lbs that you might not have lost otherwise. That is FANTASTIC! Stalls are common, best wishes.

Oh my, there are two things I cave, chocolate and peanut butter! i just made myself an iced coffee mocca. It hit he spot. I know that we can and can't give into cravings, but sometimes we have to do what we have to do!

It so all depends on you and your healing. My surgeon(who had his surgery done in Mexico) said he had surgery on Friday and was operating on Monday. I am not sure that i could do that. But it all depends on your healing and your surgeon. best wishes.

Oh, Bee, I too remember not fitting not booths! Now, i am the one that slides into the booth and says, oh, booth, no problem!(((hugs)))!!!

I totally agree, I also, had cold feet the day of surgery. I was in the prep room and went what if it doesn't work for me. what am I doing! I am almost 5 years out and love my new life!

And Mother Nature and God have given us the most marvelous weekend in a long time! Dry air and warm temperatures. Almost too cool for the pool for this transplant Floridian.

Enjoying another morning in Sunny central Florida! Temps still only in the high 60's and low humidity! Took a brisk walk today, estimating about 3 mph pace. Was great and produced a sweat 1/2 way thru. Have a great weekend folks.

Beautiful morning in Central Florida, 64 degrees a clear and sunny day. I went for a 1 hour walk by myself,so set my own pace. I am not sure how far I walked, but it was a good one! Have a great Friday and weekend!

Love!

Oh, bee, You will fin dit is a great thing, and you have so many cheerleaders here for you! Try to stick with your surgeon's directions and you should find that the tool woks for you too! Many of us, who have not lost weight, or kept it off, with other means have done so with LPB surgery. best wishes for you, Karen

I hope that you had a happy birthday, Sillyauntdi!

Congratulations to you!

I'm sorry if anyone mistook me showing a pic of myself( as an example as others before me did to show how you can cover a sleeveless dress) as stealing a thread... That was never my intention at all... I was simply trying to show an example... And for the record I think everyone who posted an example looks beautiful in there dresses!! And thank you for the complement!! No at all, I didn't want something thinking that I was hijacking their thread by complementing you in your dress!

You look great in that dress(don't like stealing someone's thread tho')!

Thank you, and see KristanaRNY, most everyone of us responding have had long happy marriages. it is not the locale, it is the person!

I, also, was going to suggest a shrug.

My stuck episodes happen right away,too. And if I am going to pb, it is usually pretty immediate. My son, who also has lapband, can get stuck and pb either right away or hours later. All bodies are different. I hope that by now, you have found comfort. Warm coke,(I know we aren't supposed to drink soda), or warm Water, can help your stuck go down.

I,also, eloped. 44 years ago on May 5. I was living out of state with my sister. i did not want to go thru the big wedding thing. My dad had blown his mind and pocket book 2 years previously on my step sister's big wedding. I was given a 1 way 1st class ticket out of town. So, when it came time for a wedding, the courthouse was my thing. (I must say, it never even occured to me to to ask my priest for a simple wedding)!Anyway, I found it pretty romantic, it can be as romantic as you want. some girls come in jeans, and some come in wedding dresses. i chose a pretty short white dress that could be worn later, too. Best wishes, and congratulations on your upcoming marriage. Since both of us that answered have had long and still going marriages, they can last, too!
