Also, I want to add that I am self pay. My surgeon is in Cincinnati, Ohio and aftercare appointments for fills and such were part of the surgery price.

I would agree that you shouldn't be focusing on price. There are something's you shouldn't want to get cheap. One that always baffled me was discount laser eye surgery. Pretty sure discount surgery of any kind wouldn't be a good idea unless the professionals involved are up to snuff.

I'm in love with chocolate Ultimate Muscle Protein. It tastes like cake mix to me. Sometimes I add PB2 to make a chocolate peanut butter shake. My next experiment is adding chi tea flavoring to vanilla to see if I can make vanilla chi protein shake.

I have this fear that rice will puff up and get stuck going through the band. I also don't eat it because of the high carbs. And to be honest I don't really enjoy rice.

Sounds like peanut butter is a trigger food for you. I like to remember that peanut butter is ok in moderation, but sometimes I have to ban it from my life to get control. You could try eatting your dinner and then brushing your teeth to confirm for yourself eating is done for the day. Another option is plan the peanut butter into your day so you don't feel guilty about it. (typed as I gaze upon my peanut butter jar)

I'm right there with you. For some reason I have a huge learning curve. I keep making the same mistakes over and over again. But I'm learning and I'm sure you will too.

I haven't tried it yet, however I've seen pineapple juice as a remedy in other threads.

Also try standing up and walking around. Gravity sometimes helps me in that situation.

I still have dreams at night where I drink a nice cold Diet Coke.
