I am try to learn what are common sliders so I can avoid them. I think I discovered apple sauce to be a slider. Please share your experiences so us newbies can learn from your experiences.

I can feel the liquids too especially the cold ones. I was curious about stretching the pouch too. I am a habitual guzzler but I have worked on slowing down.

I like the dinosaur comment. I spoke with my contacts and was told it is very normal. I will just smile and move on. I will be post op 4 weeks tomorrow and getting my first fill monday. Band was installed with no fill. Already in the green zone some im kinda nervous.

Why does my stomach gurgle after I eat. Not painful just noisy and new.

South of Houston. Banded 2-17

Great info guys...I just bought some nanners today and tomorrow will be the maiden voyage. I like the ideas about the shakes too..

Great info Alex. I am curious how I can be in the green zone 100% without even a fill. I contacted my surgeon and I was told that the band was not filled during the operation. I am not sure how people are able eat healthy and get 1000 calories a day. I have have to supplement with a few shakes to keep the calories and Protein levels where they need to be. I am scheduled for my first fill in a week. My weight loss has been short of amazing and I am curious if I even need a fill.

Judych. I tried some cottage cheese the other day and I had the 180 effect. LOL Needless to say I will tread lightly with the cottage cheese. This really concerns me because I cant do the dairy products other than yogurt. I feel I need some D in my diet.

Banded 2/17 and lost 20lbs so far. I am confused because I dont feel hungry anymore. I was instructed to eat a Protein Shake for Breakfast by my surgeon and others which works great. I also know that you need to eat Protein first thing in the morning to get your body out of the catabolic state and protect the lean muscles that we have. I typically do a shake for breakfast 5am, a pouch of tuna at 9, shake at noon, apple sauce at 3 and tuna,salmon,chicken and veggies for dinner. I was tickled the other day when I went to Red Lobster and ordered flounder and broccoli off the KIDS menu and could only eat half. Best part I ate the other half at dinner and it only cost me $5.50. Rock On!

+2 on more fluids. On week 1 I had this issue and felt like crap. I began drinking a ton of Water and life has been great every since. Prior to the band I found that 1 low cal yogurt a day cured it all. Apples and apple sauce work great too. The key it to add it to your daily diet and stick with it. I also agree with cheese. Prior to banding cheese and me didnt get along. Since banding I have cut it out completely. GL

I find this intresting. I actually dont feel hungry anymore and struggle to get 800. I actually have to drink double scoops in Protein Shakes to keep the calories up. I am only on week 3 and have lost 20lbs and overall I feel better every day.

Banded on the 17th and so far so good. Actually ventured into my first can of creamy mushroom Soup today after being on a liquid diet for the last 2 weeks. I was suprised that after about 1/3 of a can I was stuffed. Its gonna be a long road LOL

I drink like a fish but can only fill a restriction with my morning shakes. Can drinking too much too fast stretch out the pouch/stoma? Thats my fear.
