  1. i eat chicken at least 4 times a week, so this will be great!!!! thanks
  2. i had my surgery 31/2 months ago, and i get stuck with chicken breast, and at first 1 didn't. i never really bring it back up,but it hurt like hell for about 5 mins. like you i may have had three episodes the whole 3 months. u probably won't be able to eat that meat. i stopped eating chicken breast and started eating wings
  3. i had my 4th fill on mon oct. 31 i am now @ 8cc's it normally takes me a week to tell the difference
  4. I THINK YOUR CALORIE INTAKE IS TOO LOW. I WAS BANDED 7/11/11 AND I EAT 1000-1200 CALORIES A DAY.EVEN THOUGH I HAVE BEEN LOSING OK, I STILL HAVE HUNGER PAINS FROM TIME TO TIME. TODAY WAS MY 4TH FILL I NOW HAVE 8CC'S IN A 14CC BAND. TRUST ME I CAN TELL THE DIFFERENCE... SO TELL YOUR DOCTOR'S ASSISTANT TO GET WITH THE PROGRAM OR REQUEST TO SEE THE ACTUAL DR. HIMSELF. HE WAS PAID OVER $17,000 SO HE NEED TO HIS JOB!!!!
  5. I WAS BANDED ON 7/11/11 ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO I STARTED HAVING SHARP PAINS IN MY SHOULDER,MAYBE ABOUT 3 TIMES A WEEK. WELL, LAST NIGHT THE PAIN WENT FROM MY SHOULDER TO MY ARM ALL THE WAY DOWN TO MY FINGERS...THIS LASTED FOR 2 HOURS. IS ANYONE ELSE HAVING THIS PROBLEM?
  6. i am in for november... although i may be a little short for Oct. i have Sunday and Monday we will see
  7. I have this should pain,maybe twice a week.... as for as the hair issue..I started taking Biotin from the start. My hair has actually gotten healthier
  8. my Dr. says liquids for 24 hours, soft for 24 hours then normal
  9. OMG!!! I AM A SIZE 14 PETITE!!! I HAVEN'T BEEN THIS SIZE IN 19 YEARS.... I'M SO EXCITED.BEST DECISION I MADE IN MY LIFE

  11. hey, guys this is normal... I too almost walked out the day of... but then I remembered who is in control...GOD he got you.. He would have not brought you to it...if he wasn't going to see you through it!!! congrats
  12. since you don't eat eggs try turkey sausage and bacon
  13. Good Morning, I normally eat a boiled egg, and turkey sausage or turkey bacon. or egg whites and either meat
  14. I agree with the others... Once you see that first 10-15lbs fall off without exercising you just so great until in your mind you want more.. it's hard to explain but it seems like once they banded my stomach, they banded my mind. I felt like if i had to go to the extreme and be put to sleep for 60-90 minutes to lose weight, then i need to do ALL I CAN to make it work.
  15. I HAD MY SURGERY ON 7/11/11 AND I'VE LOST 27 LBS SINCE SURGERY, BUT 39 FOR THE YEAR...SO I THINK THAT'S ABOUT RIGHT. WE ARE DOING GREAT... AS LONE AS WE ARE NOT GAINING WEIGHT...
  16. That was one of the reason's i didn't tell a whole lot of people, because they love to put in their little comments...when they really don't know what the hell they are talking about... don't worry about her,and good luck on YOUR journey.
  17. I, TOO HAVE EXPERIENCED THAT SAME ISSUE MY SUGAR HAD DROPPED BELOW 40 ON 2 OCCASIONS..I RECENTLY WENT TO MY ENDOCRINOLOGIST AND SHE TOOK ME OFF THE METFORMIN COMPLETELY. SINCE THEN MY LOWEST READING IS 72 AND MY HIGHEST READING IS 94... IT'S BEEN 3 MONTHS SINCE LAP BAND AND I'M OFF THE DIABETIC MEDICINE THAT I HAD BEEN ON FOR 5 YEARS. GOD IS GOOD
  18. Hello, i have a question? are you saying that if you drink something hot in the morning.... you are not hungry all day?
  19. walking and gas x worked for me. the pain meds were great. trust me later (5-7) days this will be a thing of the past..
  20. i live in the dallas area also. Good Luck to you...you will be fine maybe we can become walking partners(lol)
