You guys are the best!!! Thank you so much!

Our favorites were "if you come in, i'll give u free back rub" and EVERY store owner would say "come in...two for one tequilla shots"

OKay guys, this is kinda gross, but it kind of worries me a little bit and Im writing to see if anyone else has had this problem. I have this like.....white/slimy buildup on my tounge. I brush my teeth three times a day, and brush my tounge, but I have to almost scrape it off with a toothpick or dull side of a knife. Please help!!!!

Im a girl that used to have a diet mt dew in the morning and at lunch. So now that we cant have soda...I found that 1/2 cup of applejuice mixed with 1/2 cup of water really worked for me!!! It kind of gave me the sugar i needed to focus at work!!

Maybe this will help....this is a quote I try to live by because I think it makes so much sense. Its from one of the papers Dr Ortiz gave us... "Challenge the band...not by eating everything in site and then asking I dont feel restriction, is this normal? Of course it is normal, the band is healing in place totally lose. The real challenge is by testing how small a portion you can eat three times a day without feeling too hungry"

Can someone please help me? hahaa. Again, im newly banded a few days ago. If I understand correctly, it says do not drink more than 1/2 cup at a time. But then what? Drink 1/2 cup and wait a few minutes to drink more? Drink 1/2 cup of something and wait one hour to drink more? Can someone please explain?? Thanks!!!

Okay guys...im new to this banding thing. First question: I was banded on the 2nd. I have gainede 4 pounds since the band. Please tell me its just gas/air and that will change soon. Second questions....i dont understand how MUCH we should be drinking!! Just one glass for breakfast, one for lunch, and one for dinner??? Please advise??

Im sitting at the Lucerna...just as awesome as everyone has described it. Everything went well. Im having a TON of gas pains right now and dredding my 4 hr flight back to FLorida tomorrow morning. But Im glad its over, and looking forward to my new life!!

wait, i thought you had a choice..... 10 days or something prior to surgery you can drink slimfast for break and lunch...and lean cus for dinner OR 7 days prior....slim fast for breakfast lunch and dinner??? THats what I thought it said!! It better say that cuz im seriously ready to chew my HAIR im so f'ing hungry!!!!

MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!! I will be there July 1st till the 4th as well. I started my slim fast on Monday for breakfast lunch and dinner. I am ready to shoot someone!!!!! How about you? I have zero energy to do anything!!!! Hope you're doing well!!

O-M-G....Today is day 3 of pre op diet. Im going INSANE!!!!!!! Its that TOM too...and im seriously feeling almost weak??? I dont know, I think I just need food or something. Im drinking the Slim Fast Optima choc shakes which I love. I feel like I just need more!!!!! Im really struggling with this!!!

After you get the band, how much water do they say you need to drink in a day?? 11 days till i get banded. YAYYYYY

Jenny Craig meals are GREAT!! I lost 60 pounds with Jenny Craig. Food was FANTASTIC. ESPECIALLY the desserts!!! hmmmm!!! The breakfasts are anywhere from 2 to 5 dollars. Lunch is 5-7 dollars and dinner is 6-8 dollars. Snacks range from 2-5 dollars. But very worth it...especially if you are single and only cooking for yourself!!!

For the 12 day diet prior to surgery, can i have diet soda? ALSO....i know it says to eat a lean cuisine...but can i eat Jenny Craig dinners or does it HAVE to be lean cuisine???

not sure about Rev ave BUT my surgery is on July 2nd too!!!! YAYYY!!! My name is Karen by the way. Im from PGH PA but live in St Pete Florida now :-)
