  1. Bread is something I can only dream of. Maybe a tiny bite here and there. I can't even do crackers. Not worth it as I get stuck.
  2. I get that all the time and it is heart burn. Best to do 2 days of mushies & liquids and this can reset your band and calm things down. Kind of like a computer reboot . Also I chew on Gelisul they work great too! Good luck!
  3. It sometimes happens to me. Also allergies tighten me up something horrible. I had the same problem with the heat in Mexico last week and just switched to softer meals and took it slow. Now I am fine. If in doubt always try mushies & liquids and this can reset your band and calm things down. Kind of like a computer reboot . Good luck!
  4. I can't do any tomatoes unless salsa. I have been doing pilates for 2 years. I can no longer weight training due to cronic pain. I love my pilates and it has amazing results. I do 2 reformer classses each week and they are amazing workouts and the benfits are amazing. I have never looked so lean & fit! I feel amazing! Also my back pain is better! Good luck! K
  5. It will be temporary! Don't sweat it! Good luck Cazzy!
  6. I also have Gelisul with me all the time and it works great!
  7. So glad it isn't just me!
  8. Bought lots of new clothes! I feel great! Thanks all! I never dreamed I would be on target and make it this far! Never to turn back! Only looking forward!
  9. Call you clinic to check in and ask for advise. I use my 24/7 nurse line all the time. I can email her anytime.
  10. I don't burb all the time but I do it about 4x a day . Love all your posts. I am glad I am not alone .
  11. ipad app chat not working? It use to work and now for the last month I can't get on it with my ipac.
  12. I have this as I am really tight but I also suffer from bad acid reflux pre-surgery. My nurse always has be do 2 days of liquids & mushies. This helps reset my body and the heartburn calms down. I also find as much as I love spicey food I just can't do it as it triggers my heartburn. Banders are not to have spicey food either. I just sometimes crave it. I also take Gelisul when I have heartburn. I chew one immediately & suck on them through out the day as needed. They really help! I would try this before getting an unfill. I too have had huge plateaus as I am close to goal. How many cc's was your last fill? Try breaking your plateau by mixing up your workouts & food routine's. Do you track your food? Sometimes I have gotten to few calories. Stay positive & keep up the great work!
  13. Wow I love to burb when I eat now. Is it because I still am eating to fast? I have to really be aware of how fast I eat. I am really tight & in the green zone. I sometimes burb after every sip of liquids or when I eat. It feels so good? Anybody else find this? And thoughts? I feel like poor manered trucker .
  14. I went down 1 full size . Good luck all!
  15. I bought a pair at about 180 lbs. I am 5"5 and a size 7. Mine are Clarks & i love them. I wore them all winter with leggings! It was part of the new me. Maybe my leg workouts paid off? Maybe next winter. Good luck!
  16. Love mine, the wall of love! It has helped my flow & symptoms.
  17. For lapbanders it is normal to only poop every 2-3 days with the higher protein diet. I am lucky to be daily. Also stool sofeners work and can be taken at bedtime. Apple sauce can helpntoo. Good luck!
  18. Love them all! If they could just add protein to them that would be perfect
  19. I am a big goal setter but I feel like I am on the last lap & close to the finish line! Then maintaining and pray for no return of bad choices or band issues! Thanks everyone for your love & support!
  20. I go by volume as i meaure everything. Good luck!

  23. I found some noticed more than others. When I finally lost it in face people started to give me the wow. Now people dont even recognize me as i have rewind 14 yrs and have lost 115 lbs in 15 months. Finally at a normal weight .
  24. I am almost at goal and I am waiting for approval for a reduction/lift. I have always been a 38c but now dd & saggy to my belly button. Not pretty! Tired of stuffing them in with all the extra skin. Nice to go to a C and be perky!
  25. Wow 15 months post surgery I finally hit a norml BMI of 24.9! Yipee! Last goal is to reach BMI of 22 then I will be on maintenance! Life is great! What is your BMI goal?
