You are on your way. See you on the other side!

Great advice Missy!

I generally do not eat or drink before fills... at least 2 hours according to my doc.

You CAN eat anything, but not everything is good for you. Chips are generally empty calories. Try carrot sticks instead. All the crunch, none of the fat!

Everyone is different and we all handle fills differently. Do be careful about solid food. My doc says 24 hours liquid after a fill.

ROFLMAO!

Definitely not the green zone. I think you need an unfill.

Congrats to you both!

This is a normal reaction to the surgery. Hang in there, and keep the faith.

Hang in there... your time will come!

Everyone has to arrive at their own path. I admire you for being supportive, but some people just don't get it. Hang in there. Sounds like you are doing the right things.

Well, lets hope he does not have to take you to the ER. Hubby needs to be supportive, not bring trigger foods into the house, be supportive, listen to you whine, and encourage you to keep on with the program and give it tie to be effective. Mine reminds me if I star to eat too fast or too big bites. Mostly he just needs to respect that this journey is not easy and will have ups and downs. Most of us never go the the ER. I have made a couple trips to the ladies room to PB... but otherwise, no excitement. Just follow the doctor's plan. Oh yes, and do not offer you food!

Everyone is different. Try not to weigh every day. It will make you tense. Give your body time to heal!

Welcome back!

I use the low carb flour tortillas.

Great NSV!

Yes to Ambien, no funny nocturnal activity though!

Good luck to you and happy birthday!

You need to heal before you blow off the surgeons diet. It gets harder until you are fully healed and at restriction. Ask yourself if you want this or not. You have to WANT it more than anything else!

Prayers coming!

Yep... shut her up OK! Congratulations!

Lauren, don't give up! Never ever give up! You can do this! I understand that the stress of death in the family my waylay your progress, but climb back up on the band wagon go after what you want.

I have lapband and plication 17 months ago. I love it!

Right on Jean! Great summary!

It is different for us all... be careful with bread on the egg salad sandwich. I cannot each bread untoasted at all!
