hi, welcome to LBT. i know what you mean about being withdrawn. i didnt want to do ANYTHING. i would have my husband do everything. except when i went grocery shopping... i always managed to go there and get crap to eat. i am now down about 160 pounds and have a ways to go still, but i am just about 12 weeks pregnant, so it's on hold for now. :thumbup: the lap band not only changed my life, i truly believed it saved my life. the way i was going, i'd probably be about 450 by now. best of luck to you.

most surgeons are different, mine was just a slide show of the different options, details about the surgery, etc. we also received a packet, but could schedule an appointment that day. welcome to LBT. best of luck to you!

hi, welcome to LBT. there are quite a few people who have had their diabetis helped post-op. i know Jack, one of the moderators, has had significant improvement. good luck.

posting to say YAY Chickie! you rock! congrats!

oh NO problem eating ... just have to stay away from raw chicken ... not a good smell/sight....

ok, so the morning sickness is back after being gone for a few days. had dinner tonight and it promptly came back up. i know protocol for a PB is liquids 12+ hours after ... what about throwing up?? i'd think the same, but to be honest, i'm really quite hungry.. havent eaten much all day and dinner was my only real meal... thoughts?

im quite hungry a lot now too... due Feb 13th. i completely understand!!!

my advice - dont obsess about it the first few months... like 4-6... it'll stress you out like nothing and a happy mommy to be could be just that - a mommy to be... if after a few months, (and the aforementioned tons of sex) it doesnt happen, then obsess a little bit... good luck and most of all - HAVE FUN!!!

hi EJM - what worked for me?? dropping weight / fat and lots of sex....

told me to keep my current fill and come in for an unfill if it continues even if i'm not too tight... i dont like that! luckily, i've been OK the past few days although the sight of raw chicken makes me wanna hurl...

welcome to LBT. best of luck to you.

hi Amy. welcome to LBT. congrats on your band.

hi, welcome to LBT.

hi, welcome to LBT. the process depends on whether you are using insurance or not. if so, what are the requirements of your insurance company, etc... best of luck to you .

welcome, best of luck to you.

hi, welcome to LBT. you may want to browse the food / recipe section when you are able to progress to mushies / solids. best of luck to you.

kayacee i know the feeling about broth... i got sick of the smell too. try beef and chicken maybe. if you can find turkey, thats good too. congrats on being banded.

yeah... log onto tickerfactory and look at the code that they generated for you ... see if its in that code.

November is plenty of time! :teeth_smile: best of luck to you!

hmmm... dont see it.. weird. its gotta be in the whole code.... can you re copy the code and see if that part is in there and delete it????

gah! some men need to take lessons in how to respond to their wife!! one question i do have - when is the 5K? is it really obtainable for you? i remember when i did the C25K program, i had to repeat weeks. is there a buffer zone in there for you? if you think you can do C25K, you can... some weeks really arent easy, but they are obtainable. best of luck to you and i look forward to reading your successful race report of your 5K!

nopers....

she - of course not!!!

thanks She, but i dont think its the baby... :thumbup: :crying: BBK - glad it worked out well for you and the kids!

*sigh* just when i thought the nausea was gone...
