I eat pizza now. I am over a year out. I could not eat it at first but I can eat 1 slice now. I only do this about once every 2 to 3 months if that. I always get the crispy crust. Kat

I can drink anytime before meals. My doctor has always said to wait 20 minutes after i am done with my meal. Take my advise and wait the 20 minutes. I have drank to soon after eating and it causes me to erupt. Kat

I have had trouble since I got my band. Do not lay down after taking them. I also had the burning and my NP told me to take a Nexium for a few days and it would help and it does help. So when it comes back I take the nexium for a couple of days and it goes away. Kat

Everyone goes through this. Its very normal. After you heal you will still be able to most things. Hopefully just not as much. Kat

I dont use my card. I do however order from the staters menu a lot. If I want something on the regular menu I share with my son or husband or I take it home and eat it later. Kat

I started getting the bat wings at around 40 lost. So I am now doing body pump and it has helped a lot. It also depends on age.When you exercise you also need to do weights. :)Weights are what will help with toning. Kat

I am almost a year out. I eating until I am full. That is normally around a cup and a half of food. I also eat 6 to 7 times a day per my doctor since I am doing body pump classes. Everyone is different so what works for me might not work for anyone else. I also still struggle with eating to fast. What is up with that? Kat
