I take 3 fiber pills every night. I'm a year out and haven't had a problem.

Thank you!

BMI puts too much pressure on people. I think it's a joke. My doctor wants me to weigh somewhere around 206lbs. Which would still, to a bmi chart, make me "obese". He said there are too many factors, especially for women, that the chart doesn't consider. And I'm pretty sure the only time a bmi number was used for me was when trying to get approval from insurance. Lol. You're doing awesome and I loved this post!

I've had lapband with plication for almost 10 months. I've never had any problems (knock on wood), haven't been stuck, pbing, slimming or anything. I have NOT gotten any fills and I've lost over 100lbs. It's been the greatest thing I've ever done for myself and I hope you have an amazing journey! Good luck.

When were you banded? I had sharp gas pains there for awhile.. And if you're still healing, it can worsen the pain.. Still will randomly get gas pains around my port today and I'm 7 months out.

Whenever I crave chocolate, I get David's chocolate toasted almonds. They aren't dipped in chocolate, just toasted with cocoa powder on them.

Lately I've been leaving out the olive oil.. Saves about 30 calories and can't tell a difference.

The bottom was! You can spread out the crust a little thinner and it'd probably be really crunchy. Idk if its because I haven't had bread/crust in so long but I actually prefer this kind of crust.

My Dr told me not to really worry about the calories as long as I was getting all of my protein. I didn't keep track of calories until I was eating regular food.

I do 2 flintstones a day.

Thought I would share! It's sooooo good! And healthy!!

Worlds largest ball of tape!

I've always had severe cramps.. They've been worse the past couple of months, but my period has gotten lighter (used to go 7-9 days and now the past two months 4-5 days). I mark it up to my body is changing and it's confused. Lol.
