  1. It might be something else bothering you . It is kind of strange you have never had issues with dairy before now and then all the sudden with Unjury. Have you tried any other products? There are so many options and lots of dairy free as well. Best of Luck!
  2. i was told one of my opitons i carnation instant breakfast mixed with non fat dry milk. My dr also gave me a list of shakes and guidelines to picking out my own. When in doubt call doctor.
  3. I chew gum usually from after my meal until I can drink. I try to chew with xylitol as sweetner per my dentist because it helps keep tooth decay away When you chew gum, you swallow more often and some of what you're swallowing is air. In addition, artificial sweeteners, such as sorbitol that is found in some gums, can give you gas.
  4. You are supposed to feel satisfied between meals not full. If you feel full you have eaten too much.
  5. I just heard about Cory from pawn stars but he looks like he has gained a lot of weight plus they are all eating ****. I do really like the show.
  6. Try sugar free. Coffee mates. They have 15 calories per tbls and 1 gram fat. I use two serving per cup and 3 cups decaf a day. They have extra cool flavors for the holidays. Peppermint mocha and pumpkin spice as well as others.
  7. I know a lot of people can't eat pasta and bread. Would make me sick. Maybe try mushy for couple days. Beans, canned light ( not white) tuna, canned chicken. Etc...
  8. Just curious does it matter what size your band is? I have never been asked that before this site. Just looking for a little knowledge .
  9. Hope you are ok. Please give us an update!
  10. There was a post here the other day where a bander threw up and it was dark. She ended up meeting her doctor at the emergency room and turns out it was a slip. Please call your doctor. Also you can find the topic if you take a look. Is what not long ago.
  11. Hi, you have done a great job! You say that you are just maintaining are you eating differently? It is important to keep measuring your food and tracking what you eat. Make sure to eat solids not shakes, yougurt, cottage cheese, etc... Maybe you need a fill? Do you see your doctor on a regular basis? I go every month. Best of luck!
  12. Awesome getting advice from doctor and following it. Gas pains can be horrible. I still get pains someitmes in my left shoulder and I have to get up and move around. Sounds like you are doing great.l Congrats the begining of your new life!!
  13. Hang in there its gonna be great!!!

    Thanks Amy that is a great idea. I actually use a brand called Blu and I love it! They have some great flavorrs. I most recently got piña colada and they give you a 0 nicotine option. Best regards
  15. I just wish book was not so expensive . I am on a disability income and that is way too much for me! Must go to meds.
  16. Good luck stick with it.
  17. Check out the link. It explains everything and is very easy to understand.
  18. Sf jelly is right. You may know what foodso eat starting with mushy but make sure you know how much as well for example half up, full cup, how muck protein. Make sure to measure and track all your foods.
  19. Broth,sf jello, sf pudding,diet snapple,powerade zero,blended soups,v8 that should get you through 24 hours then don't forget mushy. If you want to get back on track you really need to get all your guidelines from your dr. Set yourself up for success not failure.
  20. Ty Ty Ty Ty Ty I have been so confused about all this restriction talk so I asked my nurse today about it . She said it is an old term they used to use yes even her but if you are looking for restriction you are looking for something the band is not meant to deliver. Thank you so much for providing that link! It just verifies what I thought I knew!
  21. Yeah I don't believe you are supposed to chew them. I have heard some people say it helps ease their appetites.
  22. You should always follow drs orders
  23. Had fill today and barely felt it.
  24. Does anyone take or has anyone tried Chia Seeds?
