Is this for real? I haven't seen a teenager write that good in a while. Lol But anyway... Good luck! No matter what your age is..'if you set out to succeed, you will!

Swallowing more simple foods.. I can do the breads and steak but I have an issue with swallowing eggs

Yesterday was so rewarding.. Like it opened my eyes a little and I realized how worth it this process is!

It's been years since I've been able to do things like run around a football field, run up and down stairs, walk around the park for hours, etc.. Without feeling exhausted, warn out, and moody.. down 44lbs as of this morning.. Feels great! March lesson: food should not put you to sleep lol

Name, real or screen: Danielle Goal weight for April 30th: 225 Weight on April 1st: 237 Age: 32 Dietary goal for April: eat more veggies Exercise goal for April: workout more than 2x a week Personal goal for April: kill stress Date banded: feb 8th Total weight loss since banding/pre op diet: 43lbs What about spring do you like? Fresh air

237 as of this Morning.: my goal was 240 but I would have loved to hit 235.. But I'm happy

I felt major pain in my esophagus.. I never made the mistake of not chewing thoroughly again

I concur!!! Dr Ren is such a sweet heart too! Met dr. Fielding the day of my surgery when he used the computer in my preop room.. So nice and polite.. Never met dr kurian or Lofton (? Spelling)

Bodybugg!!!

I hit my goal!!!! Ugh been on a plateau for a week.. Increased my calories and bam started losing again!

Omg I itched sooooo bad!

I use BlueBonnet.. It's natural and organic and tastes just like ice cream!

I do them on Xbox too!! So much fun!!

One of the many reasons I'm starting to cook "whole" foods instead of pre packaged stuff

Get ready for a mosquito bite pinch lol I freaked myself our over it and its really no big deal!

Yes!

You can just google "nickel in lap band" Best thing to do is get an allergy test.. I had a bad reaction to a titanium ring years ago.. 1 dr said i was allergic.. i had an allergy test right before deciding the band.. Came out negative.. Got the lap band had the worst eczema for 2 weeks thought I was rejecting the band but now 1.5 months later I'm perfectly fine

This is so annoying.. It's like everyday regular people wanna push scientific data down others throats... Funny thing is unless your a doctor that specializes in WLS.. U have no business tying to "educate" people on the lapband. There's so many factors missing.. And all this is really gonna do is make people paranoid. Reminds me of the study that linked Tylenol to heart failure or cancer to sugar free gum

Had mine out Marcd 2011 ... The band had no effect on me

Thanks everyone that's exactly what I assumed... I can eat a cup of food 1 minute bites. It's after that I feel that I ate too much.. I gonna eat a 2/3 to see if it has the same effect.. Then take it from there.. I just got very caught up on doing things exactly as directed instead of listening to my body 100% of the time.. Everyday since surgery has been a learning experience for me lol

Oh I do usually measure in cups But what I meant was.. Even after measuring.. About 5-10 mins after I eat.. I feel extremely fulI.. (Like i have to sit down and relax a few to digest) i don't know if this is normal because I always over ate my entire life and I'm new to being banded so i dont know if this is normal.. Should I cut down my amount of food maybe to a 3/4 cup or is that just gonna be too little?
