Ohh yeah let me know how your fill goes I'm nervous about the needle part. I HATE them.

LOL to funny. Yeah I did. yeah I'm also really excited about my 1st fill. Well that's good that you only gain 2lbs. I'm up 7lbs so it's totally getting me sad lol. Do you work out?? I'm trying to get my self to go at least 4 times a day, but I just get sooo lazy, but I'm trying to get back into the grove.

Hey Stephanie,
How is everything going?? Since we've been on liquids I've gained 7lbs. Was a bit discouraged, but I'm trying my hardest to keep on track. They where not jocking about this Bandster hell stuff. I feel like I never got anything done. I get my fill on the 20th of feb so I'm hoping that gives me a bit of restriction geez. Let me know how it's going
-
Ohhh I should totally get on that then. We are driving down again, but are then flying from Tj to another part of mexico to visit family so I really should get on the ball on that so I can plan the trip. Make sure to fill us in on how it goes.
-
No I haven't. I didn't even think I needed to make my appt so early, but think about it I guess I should have you?
-
Thank you so much for the advice. I also went on and it said 1738 which I thought was pretty high too. Yeah I never cancelled my membership to WW so I think I'm just going to keep it and use that to keep me on track. thank you so much

Hello

Good job girl on the weight loss so far. So excited to see our progress. Make sure to fill us in every once in a while.

Hello I'm about to go on solids on friday and I really want to keep most of the weight I lost during liquids off. So once I get back on solids I want to start making good decisions, but I'm kinda lost. I know it's best to count your calories as well as colestral,sodim, and protien. Which I will do, but I'm not quit sure how much of all of this I can have. most people say to stay under 1200 calories a day, but what about everything else. Advice please. Thank you

Can I b%tch for just a second please.

I totally Hear you !!!! I am soooo ready to just chew something too. I keep changing my mind on what I'm going to put in my mounth first. LoL I'm now having food dreams. It's driving me crazy, but I haven't cheated not once or have chewed and spit so I'm very proud of myslef. Even though I'm super excited to eat I'm sad that I won't be losing weight so fast. I've been consistly losing about a lb. and 1/2 daily. I'm 23lbs down so I'm nervous that I'm going to gain some of that back. Let me know how it goes. -
Thank you so much ladies I will look thru the post op diet and food section. All of you look amazing and our a huge insperation. thank you again

Hello everyone This is my first post so please excuse me if I am not doing it right or it's been asked before. I'm about a week an a half away from eating solids and I must say I'm a bit nervous. I know I hear alot of you say that you can't eat most types of bread or hard meat, but is this before any fills as well or is it only after you get fills?? I guess I'm most nervous about getting things stuck in the begenning instead of the restriction part of it. Also before the lap band I wasn't the best eater and I want to start off on a good foot so I'm trying to make my meal plan in advance to not have any temptations once I get on solids, but I'm not really quit sure how to go about it. I usually have a sandwich or something of that range for lunch, but since there will be no bread I'm not quit sure what to eat for lunch. Also what do you typically eat for dinner?? I'm so confused about it all. Sorry if I have a ton of questions in one post I guess I've been holding in all my questions till now.

Hello everyone, I just saw this recipe and I really want to try it, but don't have skim milk. Would it still be the same if I use soy milk or reg. milk. thank you
-
Yay for us !!! I have also learned alot about myself too and I'm stronger than I ever thought I was. I am also very excited that I have also lost 13 pounds already. We sooo can do this. Hoe you had an amazing christmas with your family.

I so did not know we could do soy creamer. Good tip steph. I often skip my morning coffe because I can't have the creamer in it so this will work perfectly for me. the day we came home I made a huge pot of cosido(mexican soup with chunks of beeF and tons of veggies)and I took most of all the juice out for myself to last me thru the week and that's pretty good. It taste exactly like the beef broth from the hotel. Also I love cinnamon tea it makes me feel in the holiday spirit since everything during the holidays seems to be made with cinnamon and it's nice and warm and the kids love it so I have alot of that. I want to go get some popsicales to get the sweets I'm craving, but other than that not doing to bad for the first week. We are in day 5 so only a couple of more days till liquid yogurt YAY!!
-
Yeah I finally figured it out. I will be here alot. I love this board SOOOOO HELPFULL Yes I also feel the port move too. It's like a little pop yes very similar to a baby kicking. to funny. I'm counting down the days where I can't at least put something creaming in my mounth. Forsure keep intouch.
