I make my own soup so it is mostly stuff I make sure there is chicken or beans in it so I get the protein. maybe today just isn't a soup kind of day.................linedancer

I feel for you is very hard to stay on track the band has helped and I have had 3 fills but still not there yet. I don't keep cheating food in the house even though I have kids if junk is around I can not resist but I work real hard to just have a very tiny portion.but make no mistske this is very hard. counsoling would help you I am sure check into it,its never a waste of time to go......hugs and good luck......line dancer

No only am I BP (medicted) but my birth daughter, husband, and adopted daughter are also. It can be a struggle but so much more so when we aren't on meds. thsnks God doctors now see it and can help us find the right ones but sometimes the side effects is weight gain (as if we need another struggle) On here we support each other no matter the struggle so feel free to share yours some of us are going throught the same thing and we can learn from you.Thanks so much for sharing you have already helped us.....................line dancer

I am 64 and day of surgery 240 I am down 2o lbs now. Doctor said 160 would be good I said 140 but given my age 150 would be good. Right now just want to get under 220 next goal is under 200 and I will go from there....,.,..line dancer

How rude and thoughtless I would like him know it was inappropate and unsupportive.line dancer...have a great day tomorrow we will be thinking of you.

I use pre-made did the power in the beginning but just to the point I couldn't find anything to mix with it so it was good. I don't drink it much because I don't fill satisfied or that I have had anything to eat and 3 -4 more hours to wait is just to long. I do drink it when I am low on cals/protient or days I go to the gym for that extra boost.................line dancer

I go in for my third fill today I hope this will restart the weight loss haven't loss in 3 weeks and really want this to work so I will work harder with alittle more help. glad your fill went well..........................line dsncer

me 2 going in for my 3rd fill Weds..............line dancer

If you can take all other medication then a viatmim wouldn't be any difference. I was told gummies until I was on regular food but it wasn't manitory. All medication pills coudl get stuck in the beginning but they melt in time. Just think about it if pills work better use them........................line dancer

my doctor just told them it was done by giving a list of diets I have tried. will you doctor help you out like this?.................line dancer

get every thing unhealthy out of your house. I couldn't do it any other way even with kids still at home. My daughter even took her candy to school to help me out. y would u even think of another fill if u cant eat now? I need another I am eating right but I don't feel satisfied or any restricktion I like the first few days after a fill..............................line dancer

normal and its better then constipation you should have a lot less pain that a lot of us got becsus we couldn't get it out. pounds get out this y also look for a weight loss yippee..........................line dancer

sparling water is carbonation and isn't good for the band have a glass of wine and enjoy.....line dancer

I always order soup when out and I take something with me just in case. I also order or take a thermas of hot tea in case I get stuck. pre-planning is the key forever now or we are back where we started......line dancer

I ate cream soups made with water they were great. I also made home made chicken veggie soup and the broth was great the veggies I strained and froze to mix with my chicken broth when I could eat them. ..................line dancer

home made chicken veggie soup is great. the perpase of this diet is to decrease the size of the liver and losing 5-10 lbs does that for you. drink as much as you want and broth taste great and its hot so it is soothing. protein will stablize your blood sugar and you wont feel shaky. Eat one meal a day to feel better.......line dancer

headache can be cause by so many thing not enough water, reduced cafine, rapid change of diet, lack of sugar, body detoxing. I take very hot showers then and ice pack and a nap doesn't get rid of them but greatly reduces the pain. If you are taking pain meds that can cause them all so. Hate headache my heart goes out to you............................line dancer

interesting question but I wouldn't think so. maybe chewing longer and eating slower would help couldn't hurt...........................line dancer

soundsoundsssounds like a blood sugar low you should always eat something every 3-4 hours just for that reason. I always plan when to eat b4 an outing and carry something in the car or buy something at walmart when it happened to me in the beginning I have since learned and you will also. missing a meal or waiting to long is never a good idea you want your body to keep working for you and food is the fuel. line dancer

how old is it? maybe it is time for a new one that does adjust. sometimes mine just doesn't feel right and I cant sleep but most night its fine for at least 1/2 the night. mine is new as of aug this yr. the old one I had, had to be adjusted by the doctor the new ones are so much nicer and fit better. line dancer

gas x helped me a lot and of course the heating pad was a must. a laxative is also a great idea to get thing moving and out. hot drinks also makes it feel better...healing takes time and it is uncomfortable a lot but so does being over weight and sick from what it csuses you will get better very soon hang in there.........line dancer

detoxing doesn't last long but a hot shower then an ice pack and a nap helps me ( I have migrains often) Hang in there it will get better I promise. it is so worth it...if you drank a lot of coffee and aren't now it could also be that have a cup or two. line dancer

I was banded in Aug and lost 20 lbs then last week I gain 3 and I was unhappy but within a few days 2 fell off so it is just water gain, it happens I have been doing 900-1000 cals so I know I will loss weight. I also started the gym and just doing the weights for right now. I hope to get strong enough to do more cardio soon. line dancer
