Me, too. I revised, too, but I had my band for a loonngg time. I lost about 60 lbs or so, while struggling with that thing for years. Getting filled, then stuck, then unfilled. One minute I couldn't eat anything and the next my stomach was a bottomless pit. What a roller coaster ride. I was reluctant to revise, but so far so good. I wish I had given myself a second chance sooner.

mixed with Water? what kind of ration of Water to mix? and did you heat it?

Avocados really are the most awesome food :-)

Thanks for your replys. It's down to 98.9 this morning without meds. I'm sure hope that's what it is.

Extra Protein Drinks? I drink Advantage Edge. 100 cal, 17 grams Protein, 5 carbs.

You're still healing. Your body could go through all kind of swings. Weigh yourself once a week and just stick to the plan. Then, come back to this post a year from now and laugh your skinny ass off!

You look great in your pic. Maybe carry around a pic of your old self to help remind you why you had surgery in the first place. You can do it

I usually have a slice of avocado or more every day. I no longer consume butter which I used to do on a daily basis. I also have many bottles of EVOO which are flavored and they are fabulous. Great post!

Nope. Everybody is different

I focus mentally on digesting it in my mouth or liquefying it before swallowing. I know one person who used to set a countdown timer on her phone and chew each bite for a predetermined number of seconds until she picked up the behavior. Good luck

I don't like the taste of the unjury. Tried the tasteless in my Soups and it still had that Protein taste. Not to mention I had lukewarm Soup to keep the powder from breaking down with high heat. Yucky! But our taste buds are all so different on this board.

You may be doing these things already but here is what has helped me.
Sit down to eat, at a table preferably.
Put cutlery down between bites.
Focus on chewing.
Turn the television off, the distraction leads me to eat mindlessly.
Practice being mindful at every meal.
