Congrats on your upcoming surgery. I read on someone else's page that you have a hard time drinking milk substance. You should try to mix your protein drinks with soy milk. It may have a total different reaction in your system. I do wish you all the best on your upcoming surgery. Again may God bless you and give you all of the success you are hoping for! I do love my band.

Thanks so much for the advice to increase my water. I have lost over 13 pounds of fluid within the last few days. Its crazy but it's like looking at my body shrink and go through this crazy type of transformation. I love WATER! I keep telling myself "if I want to lost weight drink more water"! I"m so thankful to have this site to reache out to people who understand and care. Thanks.

I love my band but it is a daily learning experience. I have had some unfortunate situations to come up with my band, but I am learning to work through them. I had to remind myself the weight didn't come over night and it's not leaving over night. The most important keys of this journey with me is portion control, low sugar in take, lots of protein, and lots and lots of water.

Thansk for the encouraging pic comment. I can remember feeing the same way you are now. I did a lot of prayering because I did not know what to expect. Things were not as bad as I thought they would be. I did have some issues with the gas pains. So please be ready for that. I also had to get adjusted to the diet changes, and I am still adjusting to what to eat, taking small bites and chewing

That is wonderful news to here. I can remember being so excited when I was preparing for my surgery. It seemed like that day was never going to come, and before I knew it I was at the hospital getting ready to be banded. I pray all goes well for you, and I can't wait to see some new post op pics. If there is anything I can assist you with please let me knew. Again, Congrats!

Thanks. I think I do need to increase my water intake. How much water do you drink daily? I did a lot of research yesterday on water intake and how it benefits the body. Therefore, I started yesterday kicking up my water intake. I pray to see a difference within a couple of weeks.

How are you doing? I don't chat with as many people as I once did before the site changed. I really don't know what it is but things are just a little different now. I do appreciate your option about logging my food. I did that once when I had joined Weight Watchers and I had to count my water intake. I think that would be a good idea to do. What is the average calorie intake you eat daily?

Thanks so much for stopping by my site. I really appreciated all the encouraging words you gave me. I had endovenous thermal ablation procedure this past friday. I am really sore but am trying to keep moving per the doctor's follow up advice. I hope everything is going well for you. I check with you a little later.

The most important advise I can share with you is to play close attention to you band. If something does not feel right then the likelyhood it's not. Don't over eat because that last bite many can cause a lot of pain and discomfort. Learn to eat very slowly with small bites. Overall it's going to take time with the band. Good luck!.

How are you doing brownsugar. Thanks for visiting my site and yes things will get better. I have had a total of four fills and each one is a little different. Every time I think I have figured this whole band thing out, I learn something new and different with body adjusting to this band. If you are having a hard time getting fluids to go down then there is truly a problem.
