    You can buy tea that is all natural in the tea section of the grocery store that helps!!! All natural! Drink a cup of this warm tea before bed and the next morning you should go! The tea is called, Smooth Move. Look at HEB and I know Brookshires have it with the herbal tea.

    I just put bariatric recipes and I found. spark .com its a support group for dieters and they have bariatric recipes
    I alaso found Foerdtert its a medical college of Wisonsin and they have a lot of recipes. I hope I remember these two places when I can eat. I just had surgery last Wednesday and I am on Protein and liquids so I have a while to go before I am eating.

    Kjoy & Webb designer - Don't give up!! This lifelong journey we are on will have ups & downs, if we stick together we can make it! I am currently on an up. Had a doctors appointment today, lost 4.6 lbs in 2 weeks. Feeling really good about myself right now. However 3 weeks ago I was miserable. I wasn't loosing weight & I was frustrated as hell. I didn't give up, I spent more time on this site looking for support, i took the recommendations given by my co-banders and kept trying. Finally I got results.
    Anyway, what I'm trying to say is you are on your way. You are here, looking for support and you didn't quit. I know you will see results. This is for life! We will make it!!!! This I know. You are doing well, keep it up! **hugs**

    I read the you band can shrink if you are dehydrated. If you can only drink a little Water. You might be. I would go see you doctor.

    I've had my band for almost 6 years and did have great success (lost down to about 165 from 350) I got comfortable and slowly started gaining weight (had port problem and was unfilled for awhile) I felt like that train had already left the station and that gaining weight for me was just inevitable! I finally got sick enough of my weight controlling me AGAIN and sucked it up, went to the doctor (did NOT get the lecture I was expecting, thankfully) and got a fill! I am so excited to be getting back on the right track now.
    Let me encourage you to go to the doctor....get that fill and you will get on the road to success!!!!! You got this band...USE it!

    Good luck, and congrats on getting back on the bandwagon!!
    I've only been banded 10 weeks but I feel like I'm finally in a good routine with food. My brain won the battle over my stomach as far as cravings go, but when the rare craving comes along (which is usually for ice cream) and won't go away, I find that just a spoon or two of frozen greek yogurt does the trick. I still struggle with the salt cravings (pre-op I would eat 3-4 pickles a day!) but find that if I just have a very small amount of what my body thinks it HAS to have, and couple it with some exercise, the craving passes. Huge accomplishment considering I used to indulge every craving - - and a lot of it - - whenever I wanted.
    Good luck again, and know you are not alone in your journey!

    Because you are just coming back to the diet, start paying attention to when your body is really, physically hungry. I would recommend eating only when hungry and at the same time, paying very close attention and listening to when your body is satisfied and not full.
    Take it one day at a time and it will come

    I had my lap band in 2009. I lost 49 pounds and gained 20 of it back. So here I am back to get on the band wagon. My first day on the diet again. The sweet cravings are my hardest part. I have PCOS and Celiac Disease. So I have diet restrictions. Wish me luck. PLEASE send me links to progress. I need to be motivated.
