  1. Just saw this sorry! Thank you -BriannaXOXO
  2. Yeah I've never done this before so it was kinda scary. Honestly, I think I'm to tight. Because I gurgle a little and haven't been loosing a lot normally I loose 10 in a month and the last few weeks have just been the same weight -BriannaXOXO
  3. So I'm just shy of 6 months post op. I have Never ever gotten stuck to the point where I was actually worried and i knew only a sip of Water would help move it through But tonight I had a bite of couscous which has never given me a problem. Then the stuck feeling came it wasn't as bad as everyone says it was maybe It just wasn't a really bad one? It was uncomfortable but not horrible. But I was wondering what this "sliming" is because I think I was doing it. But none of the food I ate came back up? Just kinda like when you cough phylum(flem) I can't spell lol it was just "runnier" So is sliming kinda like throwing up? And is sliming bad for your band? -BriannaXOXO
  4. I'm never tight in the morning I can eat like normal. But I'm trying to speed up metabolism even though I don't like eating in the morning either -BriannaXOXO
  5. Thank you guys for all the help!! I rather sleep as much as I possibly can then prepare food to eat. So if I made the hard boiled eggs the night before how would I warm them up? I tried the microwave them... BIG MESS hahha I'm sick of Protein shakes to but ill force myself somedays. My weights kinda stuck at the moment 60 fell off easy.. Now it's getting hard. -BriannaXOXO
  6. I start work sometimes at 5am I'm not a huge Breakfast person but I need to do something (make my metabolism faster) because I have a wedding dress to fit into in a year!! I've lost 60 pounds already and I bought a dress today for my wedding in July 2014. I know that seems crazy but I bought it 2 sizes smaller and we are putting a corset back so we can make it smaller or bigger. Just in case but i know i can do it!! Just need to loose 60more. AMEN for alterations. So what's easy for breakfast and on the go? Sorry for all the wedding talk! -BriannaXOXO
  7. I have a frozen yogurt place by my house that does sugar free and only 12 calories and ounce so when I want I've cream I have that! -BriannaXOXO
  8. It's been a busy last 2 weeks for me mostly because I got a new job and haven't been working 100% on me. Haven't over ate but have been eating slider foods.. My question is how much "neglect" can your band take before its stretches? I don't think I've done completely horrible beside eating so close together. (Because its slider foods) And If you eat and then slowly drink something to wash it out what does that do to your band if it does anything? (Random question I'm not doing this, yet I've thought about it) And Can they tell if your bands stretch while doing a flouro fill? (that camera thing don't know the spelling) Haven't been on this site in a few weeks and feel like I'm loosing the motivation I once had reading everyone's post here! Jumping back on this allllll the time now. -BriannaXOXO
  9. Also lay on your side that helped me a lot! -BriannaXOXO
  10. Same here! I could never drink all my Water without a straw! -BriannaXOXO
  11. Thank you guys so much for all the advice!! I appreciate all of you! -BriannaXOXO
  12. No I don't drink anything until an hour after I eat (no matter if its a slider food or not) -BriannaXOXO
  13. Ok cool I'm glad I'm not the only one! I rather be cold and loose my insulation (; -BriannaXOXO
  14. Has anyone experienced this!! I was always hot! Could walk out in snow with only a tshirt just fine. But now after surgery I'm always cold! Normal? My mom had a gastric bypass 17 years ago and experienced the same thing. Just wondering if we're the only weird ones hahaha -BriannaXOXO
  15. So basically I had a small piece of cake and a 1/3 cup of ice cream. Felt unbelievably guilty afterwards... I know it wasn't the smartest thing I've ever done... No bashing please I've been banded since 02/11/13 so not to long but I'm at 5cc's and since about a week after surgery I haven't felt that "full" feeling!? I'm guessing its because I'm chewing so well that it slips right through? No idea kinda nervous but I'm still eating about a cup whether I feel full or not. I guess what I'm saying is that I feel like I could eat more then a cup. Normal? -BriannaXOXO
  16. That's ok!! Thank you for the advice!! -BriannaXOXO
  17. Thanks everyone! If I have to spend money I will just don't want to ha -BriannaXOXO
  18. I plan to put this in some of my foods and when i need a dessert i can make a small serving thats high in protein. (Preferably inexpensive Please)
  19. I've had no issues with straws either And my doc said I could take ibuprofen! Gum I'd probably accidentally swallow plus it gives me headaches he never said I couldn't have it though. -BriannaXOXO
  20. Why do surgeons say no straws? My doctor said I could drink with a one. What happens? -BriannaXOXO
  21. I love oatmeal too! That unflavored Protein powder ill have to definitely look into! Cereal will definitely be a once in a while kinda thing I think now also because by the time I'm done its so soggy! Haha Thanks everyone!!! -BriannaXOXO
  22. How does everyone eat Cereal? I measure out a cup of cereal and 1/2 cup of almond milk unsweetened It looked like a ton of cereal but it never made me full is that because its a "slider food"? -BriannaXOXO
  23. Thanks everyone!(: that makes more sense! I just bees to eat slower now.. Yikes! -BriannaXOXO
  24. Had 4oz of chicken tonight for dinner and it seemed like so much! -BriannaXOXO
