Presurg I was on two oral meds with an A1C of 8.8 off all meds out of post op with an A1C of 6.6 a month after:)

chew chew chew and then chew some more...take small bites and then chew...did i say chew chew chew chew!!!...avoid dry meats...i have recently been stuck on chicken breast and pot roast...

i ate a lot of fish and chili in this stage..good luck...i'm almost three months out and chicken breast is off my menu..so is pot roast...got stuck on both of those!!! not a fun experience:/ it's a learning process...

wonderful news!

how's the diet going?

that is wonderful! Super duper NSV!!!

thanks for sharing! so great to hear success stories:)

thank you..i'll try anything for a little relief...

i've been feeling a tightness in my throat for about the past two weeks...it started when i got sick with a cold and was having trouble swallowing thick phlegm...i still have a bit of a cold but my throat feels tight and i am beginning to think it is not related to the cold...i have also had two fills and cancelled my third due to this feeling...i have had three stuck episodes all totally my fault...but this tightness is irritating...no trouble breathing, but swallowing definitely feels weird and this is even when i'm not eating...

that is so great that you are going...i found out about this through some people i follow on youtube...i am so looking forward to going to this next year...i am really excited for you:)

doing very well yellowrose88! keep going!

hi there! started week three of the couch to 5k and am also on mfp...i'm phatkatbblue there...i'll add you!

i've been getting bills too and have uhc..my husband and i actually as he is banded too...it's annoying, but i call them and they have been taking care of it...they can't seem to figure out why i keep bills...i wish they would because each phone call with them is at least 30 minutes...well worth getting rid of all these bills we keep getting...

thank goodness for tomorrows! it's a new day:)

i like that you are setting "little" goals, but they sure are huge!!! i am taking note:) way to go.

job well done jennifer!!! such an inspiration!

so i am going on week ten of being banded and here is what that means: i can see my primary care doc every 6 months instead of twice a month to check my sugars because they are now in control i can get rid of all the pre-surgery prescribed medications in my cabinet i can exercise for over an hour and still be alive i can say no to breads, candies, cakes, and donuts i can say yes to a smaller size and weight i can have more energy i can be supportive of others may is here and i am ready to get busy...even though i am a little over two months banded i must say there are many days that i have come up short of the goals i have set for myself. i am feeling energized and ready to commit to a smaller set of goals for the month...i am hoping to hit onderland and get to the end of the couch to 5k routine...

i have not noticed any difference in my cycle since being banded in february...

i have tried wheat tortillas and did experience my first stuck episode...i was able to eat them again though but with much smaller bites and lots of chewing. i found some that were 120 calories, but don't make a habit of eating them...it was a nice treat from the lettuce wraps i'd been doing...i've eaten them about three times since being banded...

omg yes!!! all the time! almost to the point of addiction now! starting to like what i see!

i have not loss for two weeks and then a pound would come off after changing up either my diet exercise or both...good luck
