I am a girl who panics if I can not snack! Hahaha I love Kashi granola bars, the layered coconut and dark chocolate. I have a sweet tooth and this really helps with that. 120 calories and 3.5g of fat..I know that seems like a lot...but as long as you stick to one it should be okay I also love baked pretzels, baby carrots with a little hummus, yogurt, and popcorn (non buttered obviously). Hope this helps a little!

I think you should look at how incredibly brave you are for taking your life into a healthier direction! Failure? I think not! You are using your courage to start over and give your life a chance to be happier and healthier inside and out! Change that second guessing to excitiement! This will be your time to shine!

Hooray!!! Congratulations!!!!!! It will be so great! :)

Hi Everyone! I am back in this forum after a year and a half! Sometimes life just gets in the way Anywho...I was banded February 10, 2011 and so far I am down 70 pounds! I hit a few potholes along the way but I am finally eating better than I ever have in my life and it feels amazing! I am just going to keep my head up and work through the remaining 62 pounds to my goal! I hope everyone is doing so great! :wub: Join our Weight Loss Forum Community Today!

Hi Everyone, So I am starting to freak out a little bit. I had a little stomach bug this past Saturday and threw up 3 times. I am not having any pain, no relflux, and no nausea. I do feel that my appetite it larger that it "should" be. I have not gained any weight either. I would normally go see my surgeon tomorrow...but I will be on my way to Mexico for vacation until next Tuesday. Should I worry????? Thank you!!

My next post-op is next Friday the 25th. I am hoping to get my first fill then!

Happy Friday Everyone! So I was banded on 2/10/2011 and have lost 40 pounds so far. I am feeling excellent about my progress thus far! I am just a little concerned because now that I am back on regular foods, I am not feeling full like I thought I would. I am following the rules to a "t", seperating my liquids from my foods, eating Protein first, taking 1-2 minutes between bites...etc. But I am still not feeling full. I am nervous that I will start gaining. Any advice out there?? Thank you in advance!

Wow!! Excellent for you!! :) That is so wonderful! I went through the same thing post-op as well. I was a basketcase! My poor Hubby! What I have learned is that food is just another addiction for so many people (me personally too!) and you truly withdraw from it. Its similar to withdrawing from anything else. You feel miserable until you work through it! So good for us for making it this far!!!! Everyday is a huge success!

You are so welcome!! Thats why I joined this site, to learn from anyone who has more experience with this thing than I do (and thats not hard lol). I think knowing that other people are out their that are going through or have gone through where we may be now is comforting
