    December Bandsters!! How Ya Feeling??

    Banded dec 22/11. I lost 70 lbs not at my goal wt. I have only 3.5 in my band and have sever at time reflux. I would like more restriction but really WTs is eating around band. I went back to those empty cals in sodas. Before you say it I knw! The reflux is and was there with or without sodas. I cannt eat late and vomit some times All this said I am still very happy with my band.
  4. Happy 52nd Birthday twi!

  5. Pure protein has a drink Ina can 35 gm protein. 1 gm sugar 170 cals low carb. At trader joes. Or online. 199 a can. So the Cosco protein drinks of equal Val's still better price. Nice to know another low sugar high protein drink is available

    Caffeine

    I drink coffee now after band since I gave up sodas. I did give up caffeine for a little over a month and noticed that my band gets a little tighter when I drink coffee if I don't make sure to cont to drink my water.
  12. Could be gas pain but left rib area is also gall bladder pain area check with your dr and try taking gas x strips with pain to see if it stops pain. I had gas pains on left but not so high
  13. I have lost 60 lbs and eat very now fat diet still have increased cholesterol some people are below bmi and still have bad levels.
  14. Have had sever reflux at night and now I chew 2 acidophilus and 2 Tum it has helped a lot. nexium didn't help. I still every once in while still wake up with it but not much.
