Congrats browneyed would love to chat

I use the nectar too and definately makes my breath yuck! The listerine strips help me a,lot

i am in NJ too central jersey I went to SOCH in Manahawkin my dr is dr pasquarella (sp?) They are awesome there! and i've had no complications so far... I'm here if you wanna talk any time

you can still go out with friends just be very careful about what you get to eat... order water so there is no questions about why you aren't drinking when you eat and get something like a salad, or chicken, egg, or tuna salad or even just a cup of soup. while the band does change what we eat it shouldn't stop us from living our lives

i like to put silken tofu in a smoothie with some berries and milk and a little cinnamon and nutmeg sooo good! makes it taste like a cheese cake oh and i got the light silken tofu has less fat then then regular

i'm a christian too! nice to see soo many fellow christian bandsters on here

we were told we couldn't chew gum after the surgery. and i am a gum chewer but i have been managing.. anyways try the listerine strips they really help too and are powerful... i also found ice breaker mints that are sugar free and really yummy

Welcome to all of you! This is a difficult journey but soo wortg it! I had my surgery in april 22nd and down 47 lbs now... It does require work but at times the band does the work for u... I had rhe same issue wirh my husband too but now he got used to it u need lots of support and tough love thru this I cried lots but I would never give up my band hang in there and good luck to u msg me if y have any questions or want to talk more Ashley
