I was able to be back on my bike within a couple weeks...not sure about the lifting, since I have an office job.

Has anyone tried the Syntrax Nectar Latte protein powder? I'm wondering how it compares to Click. Thanks in advance! :)

You are doing a wonderful thing for yourself. I'm only a little over a month out, and I feel great! The only difference is that I have a fantastic tool to remind me I don't need to eat the whole...

Congratulations!!! You are doing a fantastic job! :)

Hi Jen ... Like you, I had terrible reflux due to the band, and had never had reflux until the band. I had all the fluid removed from my band, and spent 12 months trying to decide what to do. BTW,...

WOOT WOOT!!!!! Fantastic! :)

Thanks for the post ... it's so easy to forget the water when you're concentrating on protein. :)

Syntrax Cherry is easy to get down, and Chike is very tasty also. They have a sampler pack you can order for shipping only.

Thanks for the recipe ... can't wait to try it! :)

I had my surgery 10 days prior to yours. Like you, I thought I wouldn't be able to make it through the liquid phase. It will get easier for you this week ... hang in there, and continued success!

You've got an amazing WL going ... you've got the right attitude--stay focused. :)

It's not free, but I love my FitBit. The tiny pedometer tracks my steps, stairs, and sleep automatically, and wirelessly downloads to the online site. I also have it set up to transfer my food from...

Sending positive thoughts your way ... prayers for a quick recovery!

Hi Everyone! I am 12 days post-op and have been doing great. Yesterday was a busy day, and although I knew I was pushing myself, I had to keep going, as I was hosting a retirement party for a...

Are you crushing the tablet?

I just cancelled a trip to NYC that was supposed to start Feb 10th, 14 days post-op. After I got home from the hospital and realized how much focus I need to care for myself, and how easily I tire,...

Thank you for starting this thread, because I thought I was the only one! I am normally a kind, patient person, but since I've been home from the hospital, I am having regular pity parties, being...

I was sleeved one week ago tomorrow and I'm back at my desk job today. Everyone is right--I'm not having a lot of pain, but I am soooo tired. Good luck! :)

Congratulations, and thank you for sharing your success!

Hi Christina,
I'm glad you found this site...there is so much information available, and everyone is supportive of each other's weight loss journey. I know there are physicians in Mexico that will...

I'm also on Pristiq. I called my pharmacist to see if there's a liquid formulation, and the only thing they could come up with in liquid form was Prozac. I've gotta get this figured out soon.

I had surgery on Tuesday, and you really should contact your surgeon's office, as the post-op diet varies widely depending on physician. One thing I had forgotten about was my little patch behind my...

Big hug to you!!!! I'll be praying for your speedy healing process :)

Hi Debra,
You've come to the right place for answers. I got my lap band in 2007 and had it removed last week. God willing, I will get my sleeve tomorrow. Best wishes to you!
Rose

So happy for you! Thanks for letting us know--it's an inspiration to all of us! :)
