  1. I don't, but if you want to get them from a store, try NY&Co. They have 18tall. I used to only buy my work pants there. They are pretty reasonable
  2. I use a toddler spoon and my bites are about 1/2 to one full dime size. My first fill was 11/2 weeks ago (5cc's) and my Dr. Said fluids for 2-3 days then regular diet. I just yesterday was able to keep down soft foods without pb'ing. My first post fill stuck episode was a scrambled egg. I was so hungry and was eating too quickly and learned my lesson just as quickly! Slow down and smaller bites... It's not as fun tasting it twice!
  3. I was banded on 6/25. I had a hard time eating at first just because I really wasn't hungry. One thing I loved was egg drop soup and French onion soup minus the solids. I very quickly got tired of chicken broth. When you do finally decide to advance, definitely take a small bite and wait a little while to make sure it goes down. As far as the pain goes, I did yoga exercises every morning at 5 am in the bathroom while my family was sleeping. It helped so much. Also, starting one day post op, I was walking 1-4 miles a day to work it out. After walking I would lay on my side for a little while and the pain would go away. Hope this helps
  4. I keep seeing posts with pb and don't know what it means... I'm assuming it's bad, maybe vomiting? Please inform...
  5. Sometimes mine smells like popcorn!!!
