Hey Susannah, I ate popcorn chicken and baked chicken today. Just chewed really well!!! No problem.

Tonight we had rotissierie (sp) chicken.....IT WAS DELISH!!! I just bought it at the local grocery store and could only eat 1/2 breast and was stuffed! Who'd of thunk it???? 1/2 breast??? ME???? Yea band!!!!

I have gas ( I guess) trapped under my right ribcage. ouch!!! Any suggestions? I hope they didn't hurt something while they were all inside my tummy!!! Michele

Hi all!!! I was banded on 2.14 and am sooooo hungry. I'm drinking tons of water and eating protein in small amounts during the day, but it seems like all I do is think of what I can eat next. Anybody else with this problem? I've been to the movies and shopping, but so far nothing helps my mind obsession. Michele

Hi Lee and babygirl.......just wanted to tell you that I was banded on valentine's day and just went out to eat today for the first time!!! We went to Red Lobster and I was soooo hungry!!! I ordered the lobster and shrimp fest plate. The lobster was tiny and I was able to eat all of it. The shrimp....12 of them...I ate 2...chewing them until pulverized. yum a few bites of baked potato and I was done......Everything came home in box. I felt like I could have eaten the whole thing, but kept remembering to save it for later. Also, my husband, who ate a huge dinner...salad, biscuits,,and alllllllll was finished. So now I have a great snack waiting in my fridge. It was a fun outing....YEA!!!

I'm really hungry, but when I eat....I get full so fast!!! I was banded on 2.14.07 and have lost 18 lbs. On mushies and fishies. I think there is restriction just with the band BEING THERE...Maybe I'm wrong, but it's helping me to eat tiny bits,.... I do feel weak....need to get Flintstones chewables says my valentine doctor. Tomorrow I will get out and do many things......been lazy at home toooooo long. Dr. Spivak

Hi All!! I was banded on Feb. 14 and just now feeling better!!YEA...have been eating mushies since Saturday and wow...I'm hungry. Who knows what the best tasting protein shakes are????
