  1. YEAH!!!! Congratulations! That must feel wonderful. I love NSV's like these. Keep up the outstanding job!
  2. Dr Oz had a great show on yesterday about binge eating and you would not believe how much you can stretch your stomach. He showed xrays & biopsy pictures. My thought is the pouch or lower stomach are still stretchable. The upper pouch can stretch by eating to fast and to much. If your eating in that way it gets backed up and then starts stretching.
  3. Green Beans, kidney beans& great northern beans, or any bean you like doesn't really matter,chopped onion. I use Farmers Boy lite dressing or just some oil & vinegar. Cover & refrigerate over night. Mmmm I'm making myself hungry!
  4. Glad your feeling better! Live & learn!
  5. The throwing up is not the worst part of getting stuck, it is the incredible pain that comes with it. I have not been banded yet, but I have had a stuck situation with Red Yeast Rice for cholesterol. It took 3 mths to figure out that was what was causing it. Truly I wanted to kill myself it was so painful. I told Bariatric Dr about it and he said "yep, that 's what it feels like". I will do everything in my power not to do that!!! Just my 2 cents worth! Best wishes to you!
  6. Amen to that GF!
