Its also important to you know that you are not looking for a "full" feeling. You have to learn where it is that you feel satisfied. If get full you have eaten too much. This journey will teach you so much about yourself. Best of Luck!

I eat 3 half cup meals with 3/4 being protein reaching between 60 -70 grams. I was told to not count calories just to measure and track. I tracked everything for a couple weeks and took that info with me to meet nutritionist. I do once in a while have a snack or a treat. Best of luck to you.

If I had more money I would buy much more organic but fact is I can not afford it. I do look for cage free or grass fed. Best of luck .

I would suggest googling. I did buy pure protein vanilla at grocery store 2lbs for $18. I thought that was a really good price. The store is owned by Giant if you have them.

I make my salads without lettuce for the same reason. sometimes I can eat iceburg if very crispy but usually avoid.

I agree to call your doctor. If you havent had a fill recently and this is happening you really should have your band checked soon.

Make sure you are watching your sodium intake and drinking a lot of water exspecially taking a water pill.

How well do the wraps work and what exactly is the process, how expensive, how often? My doctor sai there is nothing we can do about sagging skin so I am very curious.

Thanks Hilary. Sounds like you know what you are doing andi did really post out of concern. We all do need to find our right paths. Hopefully this will be the best for you. I wish you tons of success. Best of luck on your journey"

You can probably find low sodium options for the dressing and the soup. Sounds yummy!

Please tell me where to find them?

Awe sorry I have only heard about them have not trie them yet. I eat a lot of quinoa but it is more like rice. Definately helps keep me satisfied. I add it to most everything.

I have had no problems with chicken but I do make sure it is moist. Can't do dry foods. It is all in the way it's cooked. Someone gave me a dry pork chop and was horrible.

Try tofu noodles.

Beautiful kids! I heard some girls talking about compression pants.

My nose runs a lot since last fill/unfill. I am positive it is from my band.

I am wondering too what are you eating. How much are you measuring and tracking everything? Eating high protein? How many times a day? It is hard to give you suggestions without more information. I measure 3 half cup meals a day. Sometimes I have a snack or yesterday I for the first time had a treat. I don't count calories per my doctor but most people do.

Personaly I would call doctor. Maybe they can just take some of it out. It is not worth your health and well being. I had two unfills since my last fill and I am doing great! At least get your doctors opinion and dont just rely on the forum. Best of luck!

Mis I am so glad you are showing that link. I love it. It is what my doctors tell me to do. I also agree with everything you said. I however dont count calories I just measure everything and make good choices. Best of luck to you Cjohnson. Mis is right there are easy things available to eat or even to make at home and take to work. I make a lot of big pot meals and I am set with one container for each meal.

I never have had a problem taking pills I just take one at a time. Please make sure to check with pharmacist or doctor before splitting any pills exspecially extended release.

Congrats on your surgery! Everyone is different and their experiences are different. I have a feeling you might be having head hungery not really hungry. Unfortuately you have to tough if out and follow your doctor's orders. Try to keep your mind on other things. I chew gum a lot but some doctors dont like it so check with your doctor first. Best of luck and hang in there!

Think it depends how well you know her and how comfortable you feel.

Huge difference!! Great job! Its normal what you are experiencing. A lot of people have the same issue. Try going to a store and trying on some clothes. You are doing awesome!!!
