cremy, congrats on your 14 lbs! I encourage you to read read read any threads that catch your eye. This website has been a godsend to me and I'm sure many others! Good luck to you.......

I get my second fill today.........not sure what he'll fill to. I have 1cc in now. I am a little nervous about having to go back to sipping Water. I'm also traveling in a couple of weeks so I wanted to make sure I was adjusted to the new fill.

CRAZY!!

I know I did........I looked 8 mos pregnant. Even my husband got a good laugh out of it! It gets better!

Does the unjury totally dissolve, or does it thicken whatever it is mixed in? <!-- google_ad_section_end --><!-- / message --><p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p><p>It seems to dissolve........for the most part. I didn't notice any change in consistency to my instant breakfast. I've also added the unflavored to a tall Starbucks Lite mocha frappiciano ......it can be a little lumpy if you don't give it a good stir....preferably something stronger than a straw.</p></p>

I gotta go with Wasa....Unjury seems to be the best tasting pond scum out there. I use the unflavored in sugar free vanilla pudding and throw in a banana for texture. I can tell it's in there but soooooooooo much better than anything else I've tried! Put the chocolate in a sugar free instant Breakfast....that's as if you're drinking a glass of chocolate milk...totally do-able

That makes sense to me now! Hang in there .....it gets better.

LOL........I wanna know what's happening on Sunday's!!!!

I was banded on 8/23 and have been on solids for about 2 weeks-ish. I did follow the liquid diet as suggested by my doc but moved reasonably quickly through the "full liquid" and then onto the mushies. Is it possible that sweetspots doc is just very conservative? Sipping through life is the pits! I too can take a full drink and swallow bits of it at a time. It just feels good to have the fluid all over my mouth. I will say that small bites and the chew chew chew chew chewing takes a concerted effort!

Wow! Five a.m.? That's fantastic! You didn't miss anything last night! Hopefully next month will be better! ~Portland

Doing good? Fifty pounds is fantastic! Congrats!

Nice job rumar on the 25 lbs!!! You'll hit that goal without a problem!!!

My next fill is Oct. 8th

I am a newbie.....I have 1 cc in a 4cc band. I did experience my first "stuck" food episode. NOT FUN!! Completely my fault, someone was talking to me and I swallowed a piece of broccoli after chewing three times! Fortunately I did not PB....just felt like I swallowed a tennis ball......NOT a golf ball like everyone has described! OUCH!

My advice to you would be just to hang in there! Be realistic about your expectations.....you are going to lose weight slowly. I had a fill a week ago Friday, and as I expected, not a whole lot changed. It seems most people start to feel restriction on or about the 3rd fill. I'm sure you also knew that this was not going to be a magic wand....it's a shame, but we do have to make the effort. I wish the best of luck to you.....(I'm saving some for myself as well!)

rumar....your goals are right on track with the goals I have set in my head. I haven't spoken them out load nor put them in writing...until now. I've lost a total of 31 pounds and I would like to lose another 8-10 by October 28. I'm attending a family wedding in Napa Valley and would like people to actually tell that I have lost weight! It's been 2 yrs since I've seen them so I'm crossing my fingers! Good luck to you on your journey!

mrspete.........we were probably banded the same day. If you like we can compare war stories. There are very knowledgable people who post in this forum, I do not claim to be one of them, but I'd be happy to share my experiences. I can't promise anything, but I'll try to help you with your ticker! Good luck to you!

It wasn't that you were just venting though. You were unkind and actually scared newbies into thinking that what you were saying was the complete and utter truth. That is just plain irresponsible. Those who were replying were only trying to give a flip side to your accusations. You can high-five the Canadian until the cows come home, but you lack decorum and deplomacy.

Wow......that sucks! Too bad your doc didn't listern to you a long time ago! Congrats on the 50 lbs!

By the way.....is there any elephant left, I haven't had dinner???

LOL.......what a party pooper!

Fantastic post! Thanks Sherilynn!!!
