I gained a whole pound. In the grand scheme of things I am thrilled that that is all!

Keep up the good work! You are an inspiration to some people on here

For me it like being able to eat half a sandwich or one taco and feeling full. You don't feel like you need to keep going just to reach the level of full you were used to.

I am currently stalled and I am trying to stay under 1400 calories a day myself. I am interested to hear what others have to say.

I have never had any real problems flying with mine either. I have made over a half dozen flights since being banded. I don't even give it a second thought any more.

I am at about 1400 calories 6 months out from getting a lap-band. I hear that may be a little high but compared to before it is like night and day

I flew right before and after my first couple of fills. To be honest I never even thought of consulting my Doctor. I have to be able to fly for work at any given time. I had zero issues. The hardest part about flying was finding half way descent food at the airports lol.

Ohh man the barium shakes are nasty lol. Best of luck tomorrow!

Go purchase some Prevacid or Prilosec. It is over the counter now. Zantac is a rather weak acid reflux pill.

I agree with the post^. I have no desire to lie about my wls but I also have asked my friends and family not to advertise it either. It seems much easier to not have to try to hide it though.

I have 5! They are still highly visible 5 months out.

That is good info to have^. I must admit I am a little paranoid about mine slipping as well.

You can still go out to eat lol. You will just order differently and go to different restaurants. I travel a lot for work so I eat a lot of sushi for example. I also eat eggs for breakfast almost every morning.

My nutritionist means well but I don't think he has ever struggled with weight and he has given me some pretty inaccurate information. What he tells me and what the my doctor tells me are two rather different things. It is hard to tell when he is correct or not now. To top things off the person I was working with went on military leave a week before my surgery and has never answered my emails since then. He gave me a number of someone else I could talk to but I don't feel like starting over from ground zero with another nutritionist. I feel like I am mostly on my own.

That strawberry cheescake one from Dannon is my favorite as well lol. I also like all the boston cream pie ones and the Strawberry Fage one.
