I chewed alot of sugar free gum. Be sure not so swallow it though.

I was just admiring my husbands ability to eat a huge amount of fried rice, chew it and swallow. While Im still on my first bite, and have to wait like 10 minutes between each tiny bite because, its rice and I don't typically do fabulous with rice. Im guess this portion going to be small due to bordom. I guess Ill be playing Candy Crush instead of spending anymore time on this meal. LOL.

30 lbs. has made a huge difference for me also. i feel great.

I actually drink something warm and that helps. I also take advil.

I too am a lover of the light string cheese right after work. I am a teacher and eat lunch at breakfast time basically. So by 4 I am hungry and should be. I weigh myself daily and as I have gone on this journey I am not allowing it to dictate my mood. I only count my weight loss on Saturdays, every saturday I post to my facebook. My friends are great supports. Good luck.

If I PB, it usually hurts my chest quite a bit. I don't enjoy it. I haven't had a vomit episode with the band yet. I am very careful. I had to pull over this weekend, it kind of sucked. My son laughed at me. Isn't he sweet.

I got 4cc at the time of surgery.

I have a waist, I make sure everyone's seeing it! Lost like 8 inches off it I. 8 weeks!!!!

I love mine too. You awesome!

I'm so happy to say that my cravings are really minimal with the right amount of fluid in my band. Today I let myself eat ice cream for my baby's birthday. I stay on track with little trouble all week and most of the weekend. Love the green zone, could not have done this by myself.

I think you might be too tight. I don't like that feeling, it's kind of miserable. Maybe a small unfill

Mine gets really irritated after a stuck episode. I drink water and clear liquids for 24 hours. Tried a regular breakfast this morning after a nasty episode last night and it was a no go. But tonight, I'm eating some spaghetti sqaush very slowly and I'm okay. I took some children's ibuprofen to help with the swelling. So far so good.

I have good "restriction" right now, so 800-1000 does it for me.

26

I am 6 weeks post op and had a 2nd fill yesterday. I am just so thrilled that my life doesn't revolve around what my next meal is and how it will taste and how bad I will feel afterward. I was in the green after the first fill and that makes me ecstatic. 26 pounds. I feel amazing. I love working out and have actually made it a priority each adn every day. My clothes are already giant on me. I went through all those stages too.

I had surgery on Feb 18. First fill March 11. Surgery day I got 4cc.first fill I got 1.5 cc and was in the green zone.I have a 10cc band. Yesterday got a fill to 6.2 cc

I did the exact same thing. As soon as I got my first fill, I felt more in contro and weight started coming off, though slowly.

I really did not think I would ever count calories, but I just have too. My fitness pal is my saving grace. If you want to change up your workout, youtube has a million free videos you can try. When I hit my first stall, I increased my calories with protein enriched foods and the next few days dropped 4 lbs. You'll be okay, just change it up a bit and use MFP. You can add me bellasmommy99 as a friend. Good luck.

Mine is Bellasmommy99. I love this app!

maybe a tiny unfill would help?

Get filled back up. Is that possible? That is probably what is going to get you back on track. Good luck.

Atkins premade drinks are my absolute favorite and have 15 grams of protein and like 2 carbs. I also LOVE muscle milk with 25 grams of protien and is delicious, however a little pricey.

I ignore those calories from exercising. I don't need them. I feel satisfied on 800-1000.

I got my first fill at three weeks. I'm glad I did. Made it to the green zone on the first try.
