    How was the mindful eating class?
    I went on the ship and gained 7 lbs ... SMH. Nohting to do but eat and sleep and gamble LOL. I did go to the gym and I did a lot of walking and excursions and STILL gained 7 lbs. Good news is that 4 of those lbs are already gone this week so I'm back on track.
    Super awesome news is that I got into my sequin dress by the cruise, and I wore it to the captain's dinner!!! YAY!!!!!

    Wouldn't hurt to have a few more drops of saline taken out, but I also think you need to stay on liquids for 24 hours after a fill or unfill. If you've been having frequent eating problems, everything in there is probably very swollen and irritated, and needs to rest before you start challenging it with solid food.< /p>

    Hi I have posted comments but never a thread!
    I was banded December 2009. I had a rough post op period felt horrible and my potassium level was critical low then I have had 4 surgeries since mostly orthopedic and a car accident I'm still being treated for. I was introduced to this site this spring(it's a great site) so my progress has been slow but steady goal is to loose 100# as of today 68 pounds down. This week I had fluoroscopy to check restriction as I had a major food bolus stuck which caused reflux which has now healed. I was disappointed that I did not have a tiny fill but with 5cc in a 10cc band I was told I have good flow and restriction ???ŠSo now my challenge is mind over matter- we all will get to this point and I'm encouraged by all of you! I have always been embarrassed to use my lap band card but I used it this week to order off the kids menu and it felt great having a smaller portion served. Thanks for letting me share.

    My physician weighs you as you walk in to day surgery and if you have not lost enough weight with the pre op diet she won't operate as you need to be discliplined as the band is only a tool and you have to do a lot to stay on track- c
    Good luck with your journey

    I was told that to be in the green zone you should be full for 3-4 hours after eating. Congrats on how well you have done but at this point you may want to consider a fill so you can stay fuller longer.

    curlyq2 reacted to DELETE THIS ACCOUNT! in Bread   
    Many of us can still eat bread, including me. I eat bread, Pasta, rice, and potatoes regularly. I just make sure the bread is whole grain so it's better for you.
    Some are on super low carb diets and omit it because of that, and some simply can't eat it without getting stuck, but there is no "rule" stating you can't have bread after you have the band.
    As long as I take very little bites, chew it until mush, and pause between bites I can eat bread just fine. I eat sandwiches with a knife and fork to make sure I don't accidentally take too big of a bite.

    I hate to say it but "If it sounds to good to be true, it isn't "
    For me, I do not want to diet. I want to learn to respect food, look good and be healthy. Thus far, the band has helped me do just that.

    Fortunately you are in a minority. As Pink Dahlia said: "I'm so stinkin thrilled with my weight loss I don't care what I can't eat". I feel the same way. But you would rather weigh 400+ lbs than have the band? Yikes? I guess I value the quality of my life more than that.
