When I crave something sweet I have either a chocolate Calcium chew or a mini Cliff mint chocolate Protein bar. Most of the time, I don't even have a full mini bar...just a bite is enough to satisfy me! Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

How do you usually post? I almost always use my phone and there is a + sign in the upper right corner. Hope this helps!! Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

I have to agree. Nothing was working for me and finally I stumbled onto Smooth Move tea. Works great!! Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

I was banded in November and also have horizon bcbs of nj. For me, they required all the mandatory testing (EKG, psych, upper GI, etc) and three months of weight check ins with my PCP. I have a friend who is doing the weigh ins with a nutritionist. Hope this helps! Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

Almost 7 months out from surgery and down 70 lbs! And I still haven't had a fill. Feel great and actually not terrified of getting in a bathing suit this summer! Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

I use Dr. Samuel Wasser in Moorestown...on the border by Mt. Laurel. Take 295 South to the exit for Route 38. His office is right by the exit. I have Horizon NJ Direct Access. Hope this helps! Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

Deli meat roll ups, cucumber salad, hummus and veggies....all are easy and band friendly. Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

I have lost 68 pounds to date with no fills. My doctor has a policy of no fill if you have lost more than four pounds in the last month. I actually have an appointment on Friday that I need to call about. I have lost almost six pounds this past month. I haven't seen my doctor since January because of my weight loss. I call each month though to check in and let them know of my progress. I prefer this method. I have gotten sick or stuck since surgery. My cravings have been almost eliminated and eat significantly less with each meal. Good luck with your appointments! Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

I'm in Medford and used Dr. Wasser. Found out after surgery that I taught his son in high school at eight years ago! Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

I usually have Greek yogurt with an extra scoop of unflavored Protein and a little bit of Special K Protein Cereal. Keeps me full for about five hours! Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

White chicken chili Salsa chicken- chicken breast, salsa and black Beans Mexican pulled pork Three envelope pot roast Turkey chili Tons of soups! Chicken cordon bleu Turkey meatballs Egg casseroles If you search for healthy crockpot meals, you will get a ton.....good luck!! Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

I cook all the time in my crockpot. I double the batch and then freeze the rest. Easy to prepare and I don't have to cook a often. When life gets busy, I just pull something from the freezer for dinner! Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

I cook one meal and he eats much more than I do. I also started to get the quick cooking rice or Pasta that he adds to his plate. I skip them and am satisfied. Check out emilybites.com. Love her recipes and especially her muffin tin meals. I eat one and my husband has two or three. Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

Give it time. I just had my surgery in November and it will all balance out....trust me! I know it is easier said than done but the first step is to heal. Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

Sorry to hear that you are struggling. Please don't take offense to this but I do think you might want to seek the help of a professional. A therapist might be able to give you some tips for coping with your emotions and how to deal with all the changes in your life. Hugs and only wish the best for you!!!

I can't stand when people write a post and it is all in texting language and doesn't have any punctuation. Too hard to read!! Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

And I am done 65 pounds! I am the smallest I have been in over a decade at 177 pounds. Wearing a size 12 pant and am feeling great. Weight has definitely slowed down so it might be time for my first fill. I go back to the doctor in May 24th so only time will tell. Can't wait to see what the next six months bring. Hopefully to my goal of 155 pounds!! Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

Have you tried the Cliff Mini bars? I find that a big Protein bar is just too much for me and a mini one is just enough to keep me going for hours. I think they are only 10 grams of protein but also only 130 calories. I don't eat them often but keep them around in case I need them. Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

Not sure what's going on but my scale said 177 lbs this morning. Is that possible when I weighed 179.8 lbs on Monday morning? Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

I was wondering where you were! You know what you need to do to get back in track....just do it!!! And at least you didn't gain any weight. Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

Checking in at 179.8. Down only .8 in the last two weeks. Might be time for my first fill! Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

I don't know if he sees new patients for a fill but I love Dr. Wasser. He is on Moorestown on the border by Mt. Laurel. Good luck! Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

Thanks! I am feeling great. While I would love to loose another 20 lbs I would be happy to weight less than 180 lbs for the rest of my life! Good luck to you! Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

I know exactly where that is! Good luck with everything. When did you have surgery! Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk
