OK, I've been doing well so far, I know mostly what I can and can't eat. I know I can't eat really greasy stuff, nor can I have fibrous foods, they get stuck. I'm trying to find more fruits and veggies I can eat, but I don't wanna go through the whole list, and end up getting stuck more than usual. So does anyone know which fruits and veggies aren't fibrous? I know I'm safe with corn, potatos, tomatos, peas, onions, peppers, strawberries, bananas, cooked apples, tangelos, mandarians, and cooked carrots. The ones I can't have are lettuce of any type, raw apples, broccoli, spinach, celery, and asparagus.

Thank you!

I know my sore throat has nothing to do with the band, I've been feeling like I've been getting sick (sinus-wise) for a few days now. I'm just wondering if I can do what I used to do to feel better; take lots of Vitamin C, drink alot of fluids, and have lots of cough drops/hard candy on hand to ease the pain in my throat? I know the fluids part will be ok, just wondering about the rest...

Thank you! This helps alot!

I've been trying to find answers on how much protein I need a day for optimal weight loss and healthiness. Again, sorry if this has already been discussed!

Yup, I had one I didn't even know about, and my surgeon fixed it. Do you find that it hurts to hiccup?

I waited 2 weeks. Besides, the end of the 2 weeks was Valentine's Day! And I agree, being on top helps with your stomach a bit.

Yeah, it's bright yellow. That makes sense, since the vitamins are orange-ish. Ever since I started the 6 month doctor visits, I've stopped drinking soda, except for maybe 2 or 3 times. I've mostly been drinking water with sugar-free drink mix. I've also been making sure to eat as much high-protein low-fat food as I can. I've found that beans *really* help keep you fuller longer, most likely due to the fiber. Thank you all so much!! I know it's kinda cheesy sounding, but I finally feel like I've found a place I belong!

Tight-ish jeans. mini skirts knee high boots bikini! cute bras and undies! LEGGINGS!!!! lol, I really can't wait to go clothes shopping!

I did it for a few reasons. 1. I wanted to finally be healthy and not cringe every time I looked at my body in the mirror. 2. I wanted to be a healthy weight when I wanted to start having babies. and 3. My wedding is on 11/11/11, and I didn't want to be a super-sized bride!

I usually gain about 5 lbs water weight. Sometimes more, sometimes less, but it's usually a consistent 5 lbs.

Thank you! Reading the responses helped quell my fear a bit! Also, I've been taking chewable vitamins. They're for adults 50+ because they were the only ones I could find.
