I do only egg whites scrambled. They tend to be a little wettier than eggs with the yolk. I take a pat of butter a spoon full of turkey sausage crumbles and 1/3 cups egg whites and that it my breakfast 5 days a week. Very delish! I got the hubby hooked on them too.

I am losing my hair by the handfuls. I feel like I have lost about a 3rd of my hair. I have heard it will come back.

I have that problem but mine is all day and night. My surgeons office told me to see my GP about it. My band is not too tight it just constantly feels like a lump in my throat.

are you still having the throat problem? What you described is exactly what I am going thru and it is driving me crazy. Maybe I am eating too much?! I just want the lump to go away...kwim? (know what I mean) My lapband dr told me to see an ENT or general dr because they say that my band is not too tight per the exrays that they are doing.

what is Esophageal Dilation? I have almost constant problems with my throat. It always feels like I have a lump in my throat or that something is pushing up on it. They do the x-rays and tell me that I am not too tight that everything is moving thru fine.

Good for you! I love your post I am so happy for you

how did they figure that out?

I had the same problem but I noticed it for weeks. I must have had a sleepy bladder. All good now.

They told me that my band was empty too but when I had my first fill she pulled out 4 cc's so it wasn't really empty.

I think just the white fluffy bread is a no no but others probably will be okay.

I was able to stop my blood pressure med.

I was the same way. Try cottage cheese, re-fried beans, or creamy soups. Before not to jump to far ahead on the foods. Your stomach needs to heal properly.

Mu surgery was on a monday and I didn't have a bm until the saturday after.

it hangs on my throat and when my stomach is empty it almost makes me gag. I don't think it is slimming because I can have it even when I haven't eaten.

I have been banded since April 11th and I have had a constant lump of mucus in my throat. Sometimes worse then others. Right now it is bad. I went to the ENT and I am not having any drainage from the nose. I try hot liquids and it barely helps. What is this? Will it go away? Thx!

I worried about flying too and when I flew I had no problems. It actually kept the hunger away longer. I lost weight while traveling.

I ate something at lunch yesterday and real soon after my throat become irriated. It feels like a have a lump in my throat. My dr. says esophagus is irriated and wait for it to go down. Very frustrating! I have tried to limit my intake to mushies and liquids. Blahhh

and this is exactly why I did not tell people

you just have to get the adjustment.... you can't continue to vomit like that. Call the dr office and tell them what is going on.

How do you know that you have a slippage? what makes you think that you have one?

I do turkey sausage crumbles with 1/2 cup egg whites. I heat the sausage crumbles for a minute and then add the egg whites (egg beaters type). Perfect amount and taste really yummy. Sprinkle a pinch of shredded cheese and your good to go.

I was one lb and one week from my mini goal to myself and I go and eat a whole can of pringles throught the day. Now I am 3 lbs from my goal and 6 days. I am so frustrated with myself. Oh well you live and you learn. I just cannot buy them at all. They cannot be around. Lesson learned.

I swear I did the same thing as well. I had a can of pringles! Ate the whole can throughout the day.

I agree with the others. You might just have slight Water gain and not a true weight gain. Drink some more water today.
