Sorry I can't help you with that question. I will pray for you to be healed completely of this problem.

I'm really glad that everyone seems to be doing great!
I'm 1 week out today and I feel okay. I'm still in a good deal of pain but I'm doing better than I thought I would be!
I'd love to continue posting here!
Good luck on your progress everyone!

Hi Leisa!
Yes, I did try Isopure and that is another one I couldn't stand the taste of. I thought it would really be my saving grace, but I get an aftertaste that just ruins my day!
I did just order some stuff called New Whey protein, it's only 2.9 ounces and it has 25g of protein in it. Even if it's bad, at least it's not a huge amount.
Thanks for the help!

Topic: RE: Super Target....
Well, Target Greatland is actually pretty much just like a regular Target, it's just a bit bigger. I think they have expanded areas for electronics, foods (but nothing like the grocery store in a SuperTarget) and seasonal items. When I come to think of it, most of the stuff I've needed I've been able to find at either Target Greatland or regular Target.

Julie, thank you! I went to that thread and read your suggestion and it's been much better. I had been using Designer Whey alone, and it was kind of icky. With the PB and less milk it was much better. Thanks!

You sound exactly like me!
Surgery same day - down about the same weight. The only problems I have had is eating to fast and not chewing too! I HATE that feeling when it sits right on my chest
Good luck to you - we will have to definatly keep in touch!


Topic: RE: At home and grateful
Hi Trish!
I am so happy you are home and doing well.
Today is a slow day for me. The gas has gotten better but I am feeling a little sluggish today. Maybe it is the fact that my mother is here...I really appreciate the help, more than I can say but the stress of having her here is getting to me.
Going to take a nap now.

Topic: Pain in the port site...
My lap band surgery was Aug 8th. I'm wondering if I should still be having pain in the port site? The incision healed without a problem. I'm just not sure if what I'm feeling is normal? Is it supposed to feel hard, sort of like a really big golf ball? I had my surgery in Mexico so it's not so easy to just go back to the Dr. where my procedure was done. Thanks for your help.

Topic: 1 month Post-Op.....
I'm doiing very well. I need to focus more on eating slowly & chewing, chewing.
I'm not really weighting myself, because I need a new scale. LOL
I think I'm down around 25 lbs or so. Pretty good.
Congrats to all of you on the beginning of your new journey.
I'm proud of each of you for the decision you made to change your life.
I hope we all keep in touch.
