I'm not even banded yet but I have a hard time with breakfast. I started just taking a ounce of cheese and am happy with getting that down. Never a problem drinking 16oz of water with it.

Soda is of the devil, j/s

@ Amy, you got that right!

Hopefully me, last PCP Aug 30th then everything to Aetna.

1-2lbs per week

What I keep hearing is protein first (keeps you full longer), chew, chew, chew and drink, drink, drink.

You are correct!

I've been practicing eating my meals no faster than 20mins even though I have not been banded yet (Sept). It's true, it takes the brain that long to feel satisfied.

Girlfriend, You'll do fantastic if you make sure you get your 60gr of protein first, then good carbs. Don't forget 64oz of water. You can do this!!!

@Carolina, yea baby, that's what biker chicks are all about!!!

Come on people, Model is a troll & I think she could be related to a couple other posters on LBT.

Carolina, Your hub is a smart man.

Oh are you going to hear from a lot of banders about " Dr said lap banders don't regain their weight".

That's why I thought the band would work for me, I will do anything to avoid throwing up!!!!! At Psych Eval "Do you ever make yourself throw up to lose weight?" Me: "oh, h@#l no!!!!!!"

Well if you get that bike it already has a radio. Any trouble I'll be calling my Hot Pink B!@#H!

OMG,ROFLMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you Jean,Jim & Bandarama!!!!!

I was going to say you needed the pink dohinky things on your handlebars!LOL Oh, they'll know when I hit town... Eleanor always causes a scene!

Myrtle Beach sounds great, but I promised my momma I'd come and spend the weekend with her. I'm off to Gainesville tomorrow morning until Sunday. That bike suits you, I want a radio on my bike.

That's why my dietician said it was important to journal, so you can go back and see what aggravated you. The importance of keeping a journal!

Carolinagirl, let's start a girls motorcycle club called The Hot Pink B@#$H's

ROFLMFAO!!!!!

Never wear heals, almost broke my neck today wearing flip flips. Can't even wear my Harley boots right now. (bad knees )

Yes, thank you for sharing! I love potatoes!

Hello Margo & Bfleming! Not banded yet myself, but I have been stalking this forum for 6mths and hoping for late Sept banding date. There is a lot of useful information here and I suggest you research everything really well. Information is knowledge and the more you have the better things will work for you. Good Luck!
