PS. You explained it just fine.LOL

I just discovered that if I click that little switch in left corner the toggle editing mode, I do have spell check. How bout that!

Sounds like a stuck issue and even though the pill did dissolve it probably irritated your esophagus and staying on fluids awhile would help. Discuss this with your DR. Good Luck!

That makes a lot of sense Jean. Thanks for the heads up. Lab reports don't lie! Sounds like a good article to me

I use Firefox and get no spell check here, but everywhere else I do. Not a big deal, ppl just have to know I can't spell.

Can I ask you what year you had your LB placed? Just want to know if you had the old model or what. Thanks

Sorry for your problems, but I bet about half the ppl on this forum had hernia repair at the time of surgery, including myself.

If they have just put you on a low cal/low carb diet. Don't do the Protein Shakes for breakfast, eat solid protein, it will stay with you longer. Also drink a lot , helps fill you too. Hot decaf tea, SF hot chocolate. The SF Hot chocolate can keep me going a couple hours between meals. Hate to tell you this, but after banding and before you have enough fills, this is exactly how it's going to be. Just another diet until you hit the green zone. Do well on this and you might not have to do full protein shakes pre op. That's how I got out of it. There's plenty of time for shakes post op. Hang in there! Like Donna said, remember why your doing this.

I think until some of your stress gets handled, I would wait. I'm saying that b/c I know when I am stressed my LB gets really tight. I'd hate for you to go through fill/unfill/fill/unfill b/c of stress. IMHO

Don't make me come up in there......get outta the corner......NOW

Well stop talking trash about yourself. You is smart, you is pretty, you is a good person. Now behave yourself!

Your hiccups are a sign that your full. Once you have the first small one, stop and avoid the pain. Sometimes you might have a small sigh first. I'm lucky and get a shoulder pain and it doesn't allow me to push it.

shut the hello up!

I think most of use here are/were compulsive over eaters.lol Until you receive adequate fills for restriction you will still want to go back to your old way of eating, it's what we call "bandsters hell". It's like your title says, right now it's mind over matter. It's the time we have to make up our mind not to over eat. My Dr promises me, that when you hit the green zone(enough restriction) , the band will help us with our problems. I think it is good to check out OA until you get a handle on this. Also come here and join this support group regularly. We'll talk you off the ledge.lol Good Luck on your journey to good health!

Good job! A hot bath with Epsons salts will help that.lol

Oh I know you were just venting, I didn't get you wrong. I pretty much was just venting my frustration too,lol. I get you! One day soon I will walk and like CG said "wave when you pass me". We'll get there!

Great post!

Congratulation fellow bandster! Take care through the healing stages!

You go girl! Keep doing what you're doing and it will work out..

I'm just the opposite, I love walking. I love being outside, love being by myself b/c I can think without someone interupting. I've lost 100's of lbs just by walking in the past. For the last 3yrs I have not been able to walk. I need double knee replacement and that is the reason for LBS. Since I can't walk to lose weight and I need to lose weight for an easier replacement. Catch 22! Follow your Drs plan, he's not trying to punish you and you will be at the gym in no time. Smile, you can walk!

The band rules everytime!

Come a little closer, can't quite see your nose.lol. I'll tell you how to fix it though. Take a bowl of ice cubes and set it on kitchen table. Now sit in a chair in front if it, bending over and sticking your nose into the ice, wait 1hr. When the hour is up remove face from bowl and IMMEDIATELY bunch yourself really hard in the nose, b/c I know that is you Suzie, Chez would not write such a post. Go back to where you came from Suzie and give us back our grammy! We'll never love you like we do grammy! Bahahahaha

I hear you on that one. Sometimes I'm having my breakfast at 11:30.lol , puts dinner at 8pm

I would think the protein shake just slid right threw you. Try a solid protein for breakfast.

I would def call your Dr.
