Great job. This my personal goal for me this month. I hope i can join you.

Thank you. I now am taking little sips and it seems to be ok. I am deffinitely doing liquids for the next few days. Aagh this was horrible

Congrats on being banded but right now for you its all about healing. Take it slow. If its any help i got to restriction after my 5th fill at 6 months po

Have a slip. I ate some chopped pork earlier an i guess i didnt chew as well as normal. Well after over 2hours of being stuck an sliming an the whole thing i started to projectile vomit Now i cant even keep Water down! How long should i wait to see about liquids again or even eating? Thanks all

Exactly TKW i was wondering the same thing.

Hi Angel i dont know about being a mentor. But i am from Mass. I live in Springfield by Chicopee. Ive been banded since 10/11 an have lost 25 lbs only recent got into restriction. After my 5th fill. I have stepped up my excersise 3miles a day an arm strengthening morning an night. I just recently put myself on an eating schedule since i tend to graze this helps keep me mindful of when to eat not only what to eat. Talk to you soon

Kat i do the exact same as you. Learning on the way. I either share a meal with hubby or my two sons or if there is something i REALLY want i order it an i know one of the boys will eat it (they are teenage boys afterall) lol As far as the cars my surgeons office gave it to me in a gift bag after my surgery as a congrats present

Oes it help to have a daily eating schedule? Maybe when and what. Im just thinking because i can be a mindless grazer so i was thinking a schedule might help. What does anyone else do?

Sorry if i sound ignorant but what health ins covered your lapband surgery in the first place. Do they have a private plan? Thats outrageous for one insurer to cover the procedure but others to deny you bacause of that same procedure. Thats just wrong

I love salad romaine cucumbers grape tomatoes lite italian dressing an tuna and anchovies. Mmmm

If anyone one ever thought this would be a quick fix they are absolutely wrong. Do we all have bad habits make poor decisions sure but this is a learning processess I too CAN dri k with my meals and i have pretty good restriction but i choose not to. I have even gotten the help feom my husband aNd sons to help remind me of certain things Like last night we were at a large gathering an i SO BADLY wanted the bread with butter. But dear husband said thats not a good idea did i listen sure did i mention the bread again OFCOURCE (im a carb addict) then he said "do you want to ruin the rest of your night by that?". I got the point an left the bread alone. Sometimes we just need friendly remnders

Dont worry hon 800 cals wont make u go into starvation mode. Im not a big believer in it anyways but my body has enough fat to convert to energy that i could LIVE in starvation mode.

Oh my yes!! My sons get all worried My husband wants my food an my bff wants to console me. An i am like "would you all just leave me be!!!"

Yup i HATE it. I am still trying to get used to it an i am 7months out

Miss Patty i truly respect your obvious love of the Word. Thank you for the time an effort you put into your study an reply. I appreciate your examples of 1x1x1=1 an the egg example. Even though i may not agree with the simplicity of the image i DO respect your view Thank you

Unjury is a brand of protein powder. At unjury.com they have flavors an a unflavored one.

Julie a shake that i drink every day is unnjury vanilla skim milk an frozen strawberries mix it up in my bullett it taste just like a milkshake

I had worked nights for years running around in a hospital. Nite shift takes alot out of you already an depends what you do at work. Did you speak to your dr an see what he suggest?

Lol B52. The tubing is large but not quite as bad as a garden hose. The are used to empty stomach contents whether OD or a bleed or bowel content from a twisted intestine. A bracelet might be a good idea but usually there is time to inform a er dr or an emt

Caloriecount.com i love this counts cals prt fib an much more. Easy to use an tons of features

Hi patty you bring out some good points although maybe not accurately put. However i come here for my wls so maybe conversing in another way or forum would be appropriate. I understand from you stating God has many names an using Jesus as one of them that you must believe in the trinity. That could be an interesting discussion

I can understand this actually. This is one reason i love my band but i am still new to his whole lapband thing. I too think having all the fluid out an starting again might be a renewed start for you. I hope

I am so sorry you are so frustrated an pretty much back to where you started. However yoy say you CAN eat a whole xheeseburger an fries without taking a single breath WHY WOULD YOU? You were so successful at one time yes so get back there the band is only a tool it cant make the right food choices for us an it certainly doesnt measure it out for us. Does it have a way to remind us if we have over done it? Sure. But in the end its up to s to make good healthy food choices. And to portion out what we NEED to eat. I hope you find something to work for you again because i bet you were pretty proud of yourself when you lost that 100 pounds. I know i would be Take care Russ

What is ur daily calorie intake an protein intake. I am 5.3 in a 10cc too an i have good restriction. We actually could be twins because i can no longer eat chicken beef or pork. Whi h is fine ive never been a big meat person. I have seafood every day or a complete veg day. I cannot eat breakfast either but its funny you worry about not enough cals an i still worry about too many. A typical day for me is coffee AM protein shake midAM chobani yogurt with kashi cereal an protein powder for lunch an dinner protein an veg. BUT i love my extra coffees or chia teas. So i need to stop since they are just empty cals. Keep track of what u r consumming either with myfitnesspal or caloriecount.
