good morning...im checking in at 176.2...not sure if thats up or down...im loosing inches...so happy here !

Sorry this happened to you....please dont try and over do it.....

hello....I think its just one of the foods that are not band friendly....I have 7 ccs in my 10 cc band and I have no restriction still....but rice made me feel horrable last night....just like you said felt like it was stuck right there.....all i could do was walk...and kept pressing against my chest ( not thatit helped just made me feel better) ...good luck....

My reason for getting banded was ...my husband and I adopted 5 children the last one being severly handicapped and with me being 257 lbs at 5"1" ...I was worryed who would take care of all the kids if Im not around to....and I felt we adopted the children to give them a better life....I couldnt do it the way i was......now.....lifes so good !

Hello...I did the Gas X thing also...they helped me that and walking..Good Luck !

hello...checking in at 176.2 this morning.....

I think Id ask if insuranse pays for your band fills....Mine does...but I hadnt thought of it till after....Good Luck !

Jean I love ...LOVE your book....it sits on my coffee table now....right next to my Bible.....thank you

sends you a hug.....because one of my last times with my mom was her lying in her hospital bed ....telling my dad i wouldnt take my coat off because I was so fat and trying to hide it.....i was 15...im 54 now and still hurts to remember that night...

Oh I LOVE the Whey Peanut butter chocolet from walmart...taste so yummy ...I always check to be sure its healthy....

im sorry your having a hard time....just keep the faith and be honest with your dr about all you eat.....I went last week for a fill and he didnt want to give me one......well i begged....and he gave me a 1/2 cc....amazing a half does help some times......

thats so nice of you babydumplin.....it just made me smile..we have such nice people on this site....

think its a question for the doctor....thanks all...its so tempting

Im so not feeling much restriction...thats why I was thinking if I eat one brussel...it will give me that OOOOO STOP feeling....and I wont eat more....sounds crazy ..im sure
