CHEZNOEL

I share with my hubby too... only lean tender cuts. I have never had a problem except with london broil...too chewy and I got stuck, so no more. Filets and prime rib or me! I am worth it!

Is this second band or second fill? Broths, jello, popsicles, etc will all work for either.

Welcome aboard, visit often cause we have great advice and great fun here!

You need the protein in the shakes. Call your nutritionist for advice.

Amazing job and super dress! You are a winner!

Lap Band is NOT a diet, it i a way of life!

Best wishes for ongoing success!

CONGRATS MADDY!!

Thigh lift incisions can open up and leave bad scars.

they get stuck in your teeth and swell up! LOL Maybe we will all be fuzzy and green inside!

Good luck and follow orders post-op! It is for healing, not punishment!

Good luck! If you really have tattoos, I hope you picked ones that will shrink down with you! LOL. You will do fine!

Are you lactose intolerant? If so make sure the shakes you buy are lactose free.

Don't skip meals!

You go girl!

I'll go with these two! Counting is tough for AJ, she's from Texas! LOL

Take it when it comes. It can be very erratic as you progress.

Do what you know worked. No trainer, walk. Identify the trigger making you eat, and find a non food substitute! No body ever told you the band would do all the work. Now get out there and get moving!

The work is in your head, not in the band. Back to the basics... measure, log, small bites, chew, no more than 1 cup per meal.

Great blog, and loved the book! Thanks for adding them here for us!

Numbness in the thigh area, but not there! LOL

I would not smoke before surgery... dilates the blood vessels, or so I heard.

I vote Pepto, liquid or chewable tablets. No fizzy!

Too big a chucks going down, may irritate the band.
