You are so right!!! I've been so busy and sluggish but have also had less water and protein up until today. Feeling so much better and band is not being so finicky today, finally feeling better.

I have had skinny girl margarita or other light ones. Maybe one per month.

I always say my band is like a toddler!!!! You just never know what may make it get out of kilter!!!! I find the heat can do it, laying down, excitement or tension, eating too fast, too much, too big of bites, or sometimes just because....a toddler. Today is rough for me, I think my navy bean soup is troubling me maybe the skin on them doesn't agree but I just need to take it easy. Who knows tonight I just might be able to eat my baked chicken....Scwanns is so tender!!!

Also to add, it seemed that the first two weeks after those three full liquids days, I needed those stages as I'm getting to the 5.75/6 cc fill. Not everything goes down like it did before doctrinal and error as well as smaller bites and more chewing and taking it slower.

I stayed on full liquids 3 days and slowly worked in foods this last fill...best advice my surgeon gave me:)

Roll dice stay December.

How yah doing????

Keep your eye on the prize....and that is becoming a healthier you, enjoying the lighter body, enjoying your family as you become more involved with lots of energy!!!! Food will not be your MAIN focus. Yes you may grieve at tubes and your emotions may be a little wack. But overall you wint regret this life change. Embrace it and empower yourself to know that you are doing this for YOU!!!!!

I miss pizza too so I'm interested in this pizza crust made with cauliflower...do let us know!!!!

I drink two Keurig coffee cups per morning with quite a bit of creamer. I'm not changing unless they come up wit the most awesome sugar free and fat free creamer. I drink it every day. I will never touch carbonated drinks again and have not since one month before my surgery.

Absolutely do it again!! 17 months banded...down to 179 from 267. Now I foget fat I even have a port, it's just part of your body like dental work or knee replacement that can stay in your body. This tool takes work but that's ok!! I'm very happy with my lapband and my surgeon.

Got my band 12/21/11. First fill six weeks after I think to like 3cc I'll have to check I didn't paying attention it feels like forever. Then I had another 1/2cc every other month. My first real feeling of the band making me feel less hungry was at 3.5cc. But the 4cc was the real beginning of gradual weight loss. So I'm at 5.75 now. I was 267 size 24. I'm now 178 and some size 12's. I chose to make this weight loss slow, but it's going well with this most recent fill August 2. http://www.TickerFactory.com/weight-loss/w3x7zPz/

Had a fill August 2. Just not very hungry at all. I'm finding I just can't get enough calories or Protein. I think I'm in green zone and losing...but I don't think I'm eating enough for a 179 pound gal. I got a little light headed. Even my Water consumption is going down. No desire for food. Restricted but not where I'm sliming or anything. So do I do extra high Protein drinks with what food I'm doing? Or any suggestions. Feelin a little tired. Can't complain but I know I need more. http://www.TickerFactory.com/weight-loss/w3x7zPz/

Me!!!! I will always have my coffee and full creamer. That's just the way it is. I'll sacrifice other food and calories for this:) http://www.TickerFactory.com/weight-loss/w3x7zPz/

Working at a childcare center/preschool, there have been summer stomach bugs all over our county and across the U.S. I get scared too wen my stomach is feeling funny. Hydrate!!!! http://www.TickerFactory.com/weight-loss/w3x7zPz/

Don't get scared its not as bad ad it sounds. It's your body and stuck doesn't mean your going to choke and turn blue...sorry that's what I honestly thought would happen. It's a feeling that you get and your body takes care of it either up or down and it's not necessarily throwing up. I've had it happen a few times and my lapband, a tool, helps me avoid foods that tend to make me feel stuck. Win a few lose a few it's by trial and error often after fills because we forget those golden rules. I do not regret my band I love it!!!!!! http://www.TickerFactory.com/weight-loss/w3x7zPz/

Ha thank you for encouragement. My calories are sitting too low. I'm adding Iron liquid, and I am vowing to drink more Water. This dry Colorado and busy day makes me fogey to eat and drink. If this green zone could be a little more accommodating just a little it might be ok, but I am pleased to see some loss cause I was discouraged in my plateau I was going through...puttin on my big girl pants and taking the ride while it lasts.

Sliming-I didn't know the word til this site. Today I tried to eat a KFC chicken bite. By the second one, I felt this sharp pain in my sternum or in the area. Then I started burping kind of like wen you swallow alot of air. Then my eyes and nose started running. I knew I was stuck with a bite of chicken. It goes up or down. Went in bathroom stood over toilet sorry...and just stood there. Bent over and clear slimy spit just drooled out. Then I just spit up a little stuff not vomiting. So hard to explain but this is about it. Stopped and it did it again. I felt unstuck and I don't like this feeling. There are trigger foods for me that don't go down so well. No bread, some chicken, and certain meats and certain veggies. Sorry for TMI. But you need to know and again I was recently filled more and you just don't always know what will work and what wont. http://www.TickerFactory.com/weight-loss/w3x7zPz/

Well lucky but not!!!! it is too weird and I am taking my Vitamins but I've added liquid Iron again to get more in I think I went through this on third fill. Don't envy I'm a little scared. I did manage to get 1 oz of the loin in a very tender t-bone in and two bites of baked potato. About hour later I got four bites of ice cream and Kahlua cake. I have to stay up on Protein. It's also that I was such a quantity eater that I'm shocking myself. We will see what next week feels like. http://www.TickerFactory.com/weight-loss/w3x7zPz/

Oh I hate that easy out word!!!!! Walk in our shoes it's not that easy! It's still hard work, it's giving up some of our favorite foods, it's a different social setting at times. Not the easy way out, and maybe yes it's a way to get healthy so I can live longer with my family...for our health. http://www.TickerFactory.com/weight-loss/w3x7zPz/

I've been burping more lately after my last fill. I think I sip too fast and when I eat I swallow air. But with more restriction on band my stomach is probably reacting this way. I just have to remember to slow down and chew well. http://www.TickerFactory.com/weight-loss/w3x7zPz/

Yay congrats what a wonderful accomplishment!!!!! http://www.TickerFactory.com/weight-loss/w3x7zPz/
