  1. U look great.. U have truly inspired me
  2. I love the Daly's Light Margaritas... They are 180 calories and 1.88 at Walmart and after two I feel it!!! Pre band I could drink a case of budlight lime no lie And now 2 of these margaritas have me ready for bed
  3. Now that makes alot of sense... Thank u no more microwaved leftover roast beef anymore!! And that's why I didn't make myself throw up I read somewhere that vomiting causes band slippage????
  4. Was not dry the same exact meat and was with gravy. When I had it Sunday I ate a little bit to make sure I could tolerAte and then it was fine but last night it almost killed me!!! That is what confuses me it that less than 2 days a totally different results!!
  5. I was trying my best to hold out because before it always has gone down eventually but last nite it was not happening!! In the future I will make myself throw up instead of being miserable for 30 minutes
  6. I mAde sure to chew good but after last night I can add roast beef to my list not to eat EVER!!! Along with grilled pork chops..
  7. On Sunday I cooked roast beef ( slow cooked with gravy), I ate a few pieces no problem. However last nite after Zumba I fixed a plate and ate a few pieces.. Slowly. Immediately, it was stuck!!! I have had the stuck feelings a few times before but this time was the worst!!! I felt like I couldn't breathe and it was so much slime!! I was miserable!! After about 30 minutes of the worse thing ever I vomited twice and felt immediate relief... How can something go down two days ago and kill me later??? So confused!!!
  8. No payment plan but alot of banks is financing it so that may option....

  19. Add me please tdawson0306
  20. Thanx b52 for the excellent advice
  21. Thanx everyone... I am feeling much better. Still a Lil diarrhea but no more vomiting. I have went back to liquids only. My only concern was not damaging my band but like I said I only threw up greasy stuff no food and it happened 5 hours after I ate. I know now that this is a real lifestyle change and I'm committed to a healthy life. Thanx again for all the advice and I realize I have to change my habits and way of thinking
  22. Last nite we had a fight party... Well I guess I got overwhelmed with friends and I ate stuff I normally would not but in a small amount since I can not eat much as I used to. I had 3-4 meatballs, a Lil spinach dip, 1 wing and some pulled pork and I had 2 glasses of sangria wine. This was all between the hours of 830-2 am and that's it!! well this am I was very nauseated and had to RUN to the bathroom . I was gagging and after 30 minutes I vomited greasy stuff that burns my throat. I bow have diarrheA and horrible stomach cramps. I am praying I don't miss up my band. I am 3 1/2 weeks post op... PLEASE HELP
  23. I have been scared to try chicken or beef.. I have been sticking to fish. I love baked and grilled salmon.
  24. I am ok everyone... Took a Valium and calmed down! Just a bad day and I was venting. l want to make this work and will call the dr in the am. Thanx for the support.... TEAM LAPBAND!!!
