Yasmina: Sorry to hear about your fill appointment with TLBC--not good. Do you remember the name of person who did your fill?

The benefit of including Protein powder in your diet is that when you're very restricted, it's sometimes hard to get enough food down (I'm finding that now, after my 3rd fill) so I'm finding the protein is helpful so that I can get enough calories in and enough protein. I'm just using Slim Fast (Chocolate) with 2% milk at lunch so that I don't have any 'bizarre eating accidents' at lunch when I'm at the office. The Slim Fast that you mix yourself is not bad at all (the canned stuff is yucky).

Good, hopefully that helps!

You'd think I'd know what I was doing, but yeah.... I forget my Vitamins ALOT. :phanvan

Argon: Many thanks for the vitamins reminder. They seem to be doing the trick for the leg/foot cramping. I had stomach flu Monday and Tuesday... That was interesting as I immediately thought there was something wrong with my band. But when two other colleagues came down with it, I was able to relax and chill...literally!

Hi Tres Chic: No I wanted my first fill to be in TO but couldn't affort the tickent until now. Will be on Monday, will have the first fill April 24 at 1:30 pm. I do have some restriction with the mid band but suspect I need a bit more. How has your fills been. Doddie

Doddie: How did the fill go? It was yesterday, no?

Becca... I cancelled the appointment because I realized I had stomach flu! (I think it was the fever that gave it away... and the 2 other colleagues that had the same thing). I guess I've now entered a world where I blame EVERYTHING on the band. I'm eating fine today, and things seem to be staying put.

I just tried promax Protein Bars from Walmart. They are very good , 20 grams of Protein per bar and they come in great flavors, black forest cake, chocolate peanutbutter crunch,cookies and cream, chocolate coconut ! They are $ 2.65 a bar.

What do you guys think about this product ?

How many carbs are in the bar. Remember they turn into sugar and kinda defeat the purpose. The flavours sure do sound yummy!:)

I am not really a fan of protien bars. I generally find them to be expensive, high in carbs and have not really found one that tastes decent.

I'll have a shake over a bar anyday.

Andrew: Are you kidding me! Congratulations on your weight loss. I can't believe you've been at this such a short time with such outstanding restults.

Yasmina: Unless you aren't able to get enough Protein through your diet, I would pass on the protein bars. Sometimes, when I'm low on protein, I have a 1/2 serving of slim fast....lots of protein and some Calcium and not too many carbs.

Donna: How are you doing? Did you just get banded last week?

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
