  1. You should always call your doctor if something is wrong then post.
  2. Sorry can you please explain what that is?
  3. Has anybody had this problem. Stomach cramping and decreased appetite. It takes a few but can feel food going through band have severe cramping. Saw internist he gave me Prelasec and med to stop spasms after 1 dose not extremely effective but can take another in 6hrs.
  4. I have been doing really well but it amazes me ever time I figure out something better for my body. Check out nuts.com. I just received my first order. I always have problems finishing breakfast and not getting all my nutrition in. Now I have Greek yogurt with a healthy granola which helps satisfy me and at night instead of eating my cool whip lite with cocoa I have about 1.5 ounces of a healthy trail mix with raw nuts, dried fruits and seeds. I feel like I answered some important question. I now have healthier days. Protein with meats, fish or beans, dairy, veggies, fruits and nuts. Really cutting out the liittle bit of crap I ate.I would have never made such good choices before. Also on nuts.com you can custom make your own mixes.
  5. I have lost 92 with out exercising as well. I recently started and it makes a huge difference ! Start out slow and try to find things you will enjoy. I started with a cardio program on my wii and now I am adding walking to it. I will never be a gym person and that is ok but I know my body needs to move!
  6. You have only just begun. What an awesome start! You have already changed your life!!!
  7. Everyone is told different. I was told to drink before I eat. Stop then wait an hour. I usually wait about 45 minutes.
  8. I mostly do not drink and eat together because often it makes me sick or I get full feeling. Also my doctor says not to.
  9. I have no idea, but it really doesnt matter. Everyone is different.
  10. I so agree. I love eating and cooking. I love having control. Don't be scared be excited! Take it each day at a time. One meal at time and always follow your doctor's guidelines before listening to anyone else!
  11. Awesome!! I think your hubby needs a back slap!!
  12. I dont see any negative comments but if you are going to post in the forum you have to learn to take what you need and just leave the rest behind. Many people on here are not going to sugar coat responses.
  13. You are probably ok, but if you continue this behavior your increasing your risk for problems with your band and hurting your weight loss.
  14. I eat half cup meals. Can not imagine eating two cups at a time. Heck can't imagine eating one cup unless it was soup.
  15. Sorry Mis. Must have read it wrong but I stand by my post!! I love not counting calories but I do pay attention to everything I eat.
  16. I have learned a lot from this. Thanks so much for sharing!
  17. I am convinced eggs are evil. Sometimes no problems then other times holy hell!
  18. You really are a nerd! Just kidding. Whatever gets you through is all that matters!!
  19. Slacker radio is another really good program similar to pandora.
  20. Walk by Pantera is kick butt good!!
  21. Hey Mis I didnt know you dont count calories! Me too and I love not getting lost in the numbers. Works great for me. I dont count carbs either but I try to make healthy choices. I do believe for many reasons people should watch sodium and drink a lot of water. Cutting out processed foods is one big way to cut down.
  22. You get what you give! If you dont follow the guidelines you can gain. It is up to you! Stay strong you will do awesome!!
  23. Pretty much any restaurant is band friendly you just have to be careful what you order and how much you eat. Kids menus or appetizers are often good ideas and I always try to make sure they have a soup option.
