Ear stapled...I have never heard of it. I'll have to google it and see what I can find out.

Yep, look it up and let me know what you think...I had someone up here at work saying that they were thinking about getting it done...But I dont know if it would benifit me or not with me having the band..I might have to call them and ask for myself...Sounds kinda interesting anyways

I have been reading up on ear stapling. I can't believe I haven't heard of this before. It does sound interesting. I don't know if it would benefit us because of the bands or not. If so, I would consider getting it. I have other cartilage piercings so I can't imagine the pain being an issue for me. Let me know what you find out.

Ok, I will try to call today or tomorrow and find out what this place near me has to say...The girl up at work says that they quoted her 85 dollars for hers and then 95 for the dual pack of the staples that make you lose weight and stop smoking at the same time...If there is any chance what so ever of it helping me I would probably do it...I have seen a person that had it done before and the staples are pretty small and not that noticable

years ago, a friend and I ordered these ear ring cuffs designed to help you lose weight, $30 a cuff.....We used them for 2weeks and sent them back and got a refund:heh: No weightloss:rolleyes:

I remember hearing about those many years ago...This staple thing actually gets stapled into your skin right outside of the knobby thing near your cheek...They said that it feels basically like getting your ear pierced...So I guess thats pretty tolerable...Dont know if I want it or not...I still have some questions to ask when I call them...Im just wishy washy and it was something new that I had heard of and thought I would share

I don't know if it would work or not but I'd be willing to try. Since I like piercings to begin with and it has the possible benefit of helping with weightloss, I'd do it. I may be banded but I still get hungry. I know some bandsters don't and I would love to be one of them.

Turner, I was going to ask you if you lost because you were supposed to give some pounds to me and I gained 2 lbs. yesterday. :faint: Ugh! Oh well, I'm working them off today. (I wasn't too good yesterday.) Congrats on the weight loss!!! That is fantastic!! Keep knocking them off!

How is everyone doing on Sarge's rules for the week?

I wish I could say good but I have faltered some. I'm recommitting to the rules today! I will pull myself out of my lazy slump.

Hey Niecy, I lost 2lbs when I weighed this morning, you have my 2lbs, I'm sorry but I told them they HAD to go, I didn't know they would travel that far to your house:eek:

I'm doing good on Sarg's orders, just not good with the water:tired

Way to go Tann!!:) Boy those suckers sure did travel far! That's alright, they aren't staying! I decided to do 2 days of m/e and see what kinda results I get. I am taking the weekend off since it's my wedding anniversary and then back to m/e on Monday. It gets easier everytime. I have added Benefiber to my every day diet so no more problems in that area. :)

I'm off to a good start today. It's going to get better and better!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
