I have a temperamental knee and walking any great distance is sometimes difficult. I'm not a gym person even though I keep saying I'll go, I always find some reason not to do so.

A few weeks ago I rearranged my closet into sections - what fits now, what will fit in 5-10 pounds and what will fit down the road.

The first group is already gone as I had them picked up for donation or I've given them to a friend who can use

Just found this article regarding hair issues......I hope this helps anyone who has questions or concerns. I know I'm good on the protein, omega, vitamins C and A....will have to check on my zinc and iron. Of course, there are food suggestions in this

I'm getting crazed.....my doctor assures me that this will only last a few weeks longer, but it doesn't seem to be slowing down........I've upped my biotin, increased my protein and cut down the times I brush my hair in a day, yet I'm still shedding at

Six weeks ago I put on a pair of capri pants that I haven't worn in years.....got them on, but could barely breathe.....I stuck it out and wore them anyway because even though they were tight they eased up a bit after a while.....but the waist was stil

Does anyone take it as a supplement? Any results? Any bad reviews? I'm just curious.

I'm losing slowly.....NOT complaining and not trying to lose 10 pounds a week, but I was wondering if that could speed things up just a little.

I've been using these patches for almost 3 months and they are wonderfully convenient.....my blood work will be done in another 3 months, so I don't have final results yet, but my doctors are all on-board with me using them.

With my last order,

STALL OVER.....can't tell all of you how much I've appreciated your advise and support over this stall. I wasn't sure what was happening or if I had done something wrong....but you alleviated my concerns. After not losing anything (actually gained a po

My surgery was June 6 and I feel terrific.....however.....I haven't lost anything in several days. In fact, I've gained a pound. I'm getting all my protein and water

I LOVE my PatchMD patches....they make my vitamin intake...

I wasn't particularly hungry....ok, I wasn't even a little hungry....but I wanted to get in a bit more protein and fluid. I got my 60 g protein, but about 8 oz shy of the 64 oz fluid. So, I sipped on some soup. Well....I felt full and my dumb "fat brai

Does a protein drink count toward liquid intake? If so....does that mean I'm "double dipping" on my daily goals?

So far today I've had about 20 oz plain water, 4 oz jello, 16 oz protein drink.......not having any trouble getting in my fluids bu

Hi All,

Just got home a little while ago. Having a bit of buyer's remorse but I know it will pass....soon I pray!

No pain from my incisions but the hiatal hernia repair is a bit of a problem with residual pain.....I know this will pass


Anita posted a discussion topic 7 years, 10 months ago

Thank you all for your support and encouragement!!!

See you on the other side!

Monday is my big day and I'm really feeling the pressure......how did everyone else deal with it? I will not back out now, but I'm sure feeling stressed.......and can't believe I'm the only one................EVERYONE I've spoken with who has had this

Ten years ago I was banded. My band was removed in March and I have a planned revision on June 6.......same surgeon, who I'm crazy about. So, today I get a call from his office that he gave notice yesterday that he's leaving the practice and moving to

Excited? Yes....Nervous? Yes......Happy? Yes.....Did I mention nervous???

AND....in the middle of all this stuff I have to do, I woke up yesterday with no hearing in my left ear....like ZERO sound, so I spent most of the day in the doctor's off

Has anyone tried them? Pros - Cons???? They look kind of expensive - $19.95 for a 1 month supply, but if they are good, then it could be worth the investment. I'm not good with pills - bad gag reflex, so these could be my so-called salvation. I'm going

Senior as in 70 years of age........experiences? Good, bad, otherwise? What should I expect, plan for or not be concerned about?

Not actually a newbie to WLS, but new to this option. Just had my band removed last week......other than soreness at the incision sites, I'm feeling great......just have a lovely purple area at the site of one of the incisions..........I'd love to find

Just had my band removed on Tuesday....sleeve surgery scheduled for June 6. I had a really hard time coming out of anesthesia (not unusual for me unfortunately).......my question is, since part of the problem for me is the pain killers really causing m

I'm bandless as of yesterday morning. My doctor told me I'd be sore where my port was but the other incisions would be less sore.....well, as I'm never one to be "normal," my port area is a little ...

Hello all! In 2005, I joined as a member of the Band group. I was banded 10 years ago this month and did very well up until about a year ago when I started having lots of problems with my hiatal hernia....OUCH. Anyhow, I am having my band removed on Ma
