Honk. What do you eat for carbs? I don't like Pasta or potatoes. I guess I am lucky in this respect. Every now and then I crave bread.

Hi, Tammy-Very helpful. Sounds like the Pasta,potatoes and bread would be hard. I appreciate the input. Very helpful. Cocoa bean- if the tofu isn't crispy does it go down smoothly? Thank you replying. Sannah

Hi Elcee! Thank you kindly for the feedback! This is encouraging to hear. Do you have any experience with black Beans? Fat free refried beans? Sarah :-)

The surgeon recently told me that carbonation causes your stomach to stretch. The nutritionist confirmed this as well.

Hi! Do you have Premera BCBS? What was your experience with them like? I would love to hear from you!! 6 month diet? Anything? I have talked to them but I am getting conflicting info.

Hi!! Just starting the process. Thrilled with all I have learned!! Excited to get this process rolling. I look forward to hearing from anyone. I am going to OHSU. How about you?

Hi!!! Thank you for all the answers!! It is nice to talk with someone who has walked down the road! I don't have Facebook, but I may sign up and check out your page. Maybe I can sign into my husbands and see it? Do you or have you ever been to any of the support groups or conventions? If so, was it helpful? Until then, Sarah

Hi!! Encouraging to hear that your surgery went so well!! I am 30 and I stay pretty busy. Baby and bought a new house. Perhaps I should check out Good Sam, because my doctot suggested them (or oshu) and it sounds like you had a good experience! Portions can be hard. Does your band allow you to eat big portions? How are you doing with foods that expand in your stomach like the white bread and pastas? I have a fear of vomitting and have done so in years. Have you experienced vomitting with your band? Did you have gas after surgery? On your first day him did you rest or were you able to function pretty normally? Anything I can do to help with your goals? FYI- I have a reading disability which often presents in my written thought. If something doesn't make sense I am not offended if you ask. I try to reread. Enjoy the day!! I will check back soon! :-)

Hi! So great to hear from you!! How was surgery? If you don't mind I would love to ask you some questions. I have gone to the seminar, seen my family doctor and talked to my insurance co ( they cover 80% with an unlimited amount). How are you feeling?
