Protein Bars I like the "Think Thin" bars. Some of them have 0 grams of sugar which is awesome. i guess my question is, what's the difference between Cane Sugar that you find in food and Sugar alcohol? It seems like protein bars are all loaded with carbs so I'm confused:confused:. If you could...

Pat99 is a wise person. Never leave anything to chance. I have had too many surgeries to count because of lap band complications. I the silicone ring isn't that much different. CALL YOUR SURGEON! It could be nothing...or it could be an infection. Don't wait!

Thanks Cruz! I'm tryin' like hell! It's hard sometimes because I love to eat - wouldn't be in this mess if I didn't :o

Hey msdollie! I had a band, had to have it removed because of multiple complications, and now am post RNY. Let me start out by saying, I'm not "anti-band". They are a fabulous tool and when mine worked correctly I lost 100lbs. i have friends and co-workers who have had the band for a long time...

Hey Pat! So glad to hear about your surgery date! Delays can knock the wind from our sails but you will be such a huge success. You have the right mind set to go forward and meet your goal because you understand how important it is to your health. You'll be up and around before you know it...

So I started eating regular food last Friday (YAY!):cool: and I have noticed a huge improvement in the scale. Has anyone else experienced this? It seems counter intuitive to eat more and lose...Notthat I'm complaining, just a bit confused:confused:

Milestones and hurdles Lost 4.5 lbs in 2 wks. Not too bad. :D I think I figured out where part of this frustration comes from. When i was originally looking into surgery (many moons ago) I went to a surgeon's seminar and was told by one of the speakers that we could see the scale drop by...

@Mamatinat I am going to the doc tomorrow. I'll let you know how it's going then... @Kitty I'm so glad that you and I are in the same boat! I really don't think that there is anything more frustrating than listening to others tell how they lost weight so fast and here I sit -struggling for...

I had a lap band (06/09). Had mutiple complications with it (infection from day 1). Had it removed (07/11). Had RNY (12/11). Weight loss has been slow...wondering if anyone else is in the same boat?:confused: I've been told that it's my body adjusting but I'm almost a month out and I am stuck...

Hi Sue! You wouldln't be normal if you weren't scared to have surgery! I was terrified on the day I had mine...forget about the week before! I had such a hard time focusing on the smallest of tasks. Believe me, I don't want to discourage you but the "am I doing the right thing?" feeling doesn't...

Thanks Everyone! I talked to the nutritionist and I'll pass this along to you all (please check with your own nutritionist before doing this!). She told me to add some protein powder to my pre-mixed shake. The extra protein will sometimes help to boost the weight loss. I went to the doc today...

Oh, Ann! You'll get back on track. You need to find a surgeon and "bite the bullet" so to speak. Don't get down on yourself. That's the 1st way to start sliding down the slippery slope of failure. You haven't failed yet. FIND A DOCTOR! You will do great. they may be able to give you some...

My name is Lisa. Thanks to both of you for your encouragement. I just updated my profile to reflect my RNY, sorry I didn't do that before. it might have made answering the question a bit easier :o As time passes all I can think is that the doc opened me up and sewed me together again. Nothing...

I have to say that I'm so pissed right now! I am 2 weeks out and the scale is STUCK! I lost 18lbs in my 1st week. Yeah, I know, I should be happy, but I have heard so many stories about people losing 40 to 50 lbs in their 1st month that I thought I would have done better than this. I'm drinking...
