  1. Very Normal, not to worry-and it may take 3 more weeks or so to see it shift, then BOOM! Once you are on solids and higher calories, and the swelling can go down, that is! We were all there!!!!!Patience! Janet
  2. Weigh to go *snicker* Thanks for continuing to give others some of your positive attitude and STRENGTH! Janet
  3. I think Unjury has the best flavor, 80-100 calories depending on the flavor and 20gr protein, really good! janet (unjury.com)
  4. Vix- Poor thing, I am sorry you have this dilemma-if your husband is dead set on having it done in the USA, tell him you will-then tell him the price difference, and ask him to pay the difference if it means so much to him. I myself was banded in Cal. and love my Dr-more expensive than Mexico, but it includes all my fills, and he is right around the corner- Best of luck, and keep us informed! Jaent
  5. How frustrating! Why not order your airline tickets and pay the $15 travel insurance fee so if you have to cancel, you can get reimbursed....probably cheaper than the fares short notice. good luck, it will all turn out OK! Janet
  6. That is wonderful news! Congratulations!!! Janet
  7. Poor thing, how we beat ourselves up, myself included! Look at your success overall instead of day to day (Janet, listen to your own advice!!!!) Your first fill will help, but we still need the desire, and if you've gone this far you DO have it! We are human, and emotions can get to us, time of month, too much salt...look at where you were, and never feel ashamed to talk to the group-I promise, we have ALL been there! Keep positive and keep talking! Janet
  8. Please let me know how you cope with this: I have gained 2 lbs over the weekend-I didn't increase my calorie intake, but didn't exercise, so...I know in my head this is no big deal, but I have given the scale all of my power and can't seem to take it back. When the scale goes up, my entire mood for the day is altered, no matter what my common sense says. How do you deal with this? Any ideas besides don't weigh yourself everyday? That doesn't really get to the root of the problem...how do I make it 'OK'? Janet
  9. I only got 1cc for my first fill! My dr actually put in 1.26, but as i was drinking water, I could feel it go down so he removed the .26 and it feels great! Janet
  10. I had my first fill a few days ago, and just laid down and got the injection-no big deal, and works great!! janet
  11. Thanks for the info-kinda scary, seeing how much our skin doesn't bounce back! Hope with continuous exercise, I can have some re contouring without the surgery, not to mention the expense! Janet
  12. OK, here is some uplifting info! 1 month post surgery, down 10 lbs, and i got 1cc fluid in a fill (it was supposed to just be a check up appointment!) today! My Dr wants me to get a head start on the restriction feeling since i will be traveling alot soon. Feel GREAT! BTW, I asked him about protein because of all the info I have been reading. He said 60 grams/protein a day, so what I have been doing is 2 scoops of injury protein (200 calories, 40 grams protein) in a 160z bottle that I nurse all day long as my water source. All Drs seem to vary some on this....anyway, no negatives here, banding was the best thing to happen to me in years and years!!!!
  13. Thanks for all this forewarning! I see the Dr today (banded 6/16) to decide when to get my first fill. I know now I stop because i should, not because it stops me-I will try to prep myself for the fill mentally now! Janet
  14. I am so proud of you! I too would have eaten, almost to the point of being sick (go figure!) , but to have 1 or 2 pieces and stop is very 'normal'!!! Good for you-if we totally deprive ourselves, we could begin to resent the band-you did great, don't feel guilty. Now send the rest to work! janet
