  1. Hehehe, that was very funny. See the weird thing in my case, even when I don't eat a lot (Maybe few bites) and I start burping a lot, I just wonder where the heck did all that air came from. But I'm glad you all think its a good thing for the bandsters:clap2: PeloRojo: I don't think there is any relation between burping and BPing, cause I always burp but never BP'ed even if I ate a lot. The worst thing I would have is I would feel much pain in my chest (pouch)
  2. Since I got my last fill, I feel that I'm nicely restricted. However, whenever I eat anything I start having a series of continues little burps, that goes on for 10-15 minutes after anything I eat I don't think I'm tight, as a matter of fact I can eat almost everything except soft breads. Yet, I don't understand why do I get these little soft burps. Could you help me please and tell me what is that? Although I don't eat fast at all, as one might think this is the reason..
  3. Ummmm, so maybe I didn't get that taste casue I never was too tight. Thanks a lot Chris for the informitive article:)
  4. I haven't noticed any change. and actually I always read about this syndrom, but never was able to understand why? Could you please guys expalin to me why it happens?
  5. I have to disagree with you guys.. You got the band, so can eat whatever you want in small quantites, and be satisfied, not to follow WW or other diets. Getting the band is a total change in your eatings habits, so if you kept doing the WW you will never change the your REAL habits. I eat everything I used to like. chocolate, KFC, some fatty foods, and still loosing weight BIG TIME. Its all beacuse the band helped me to do the quantinty control unlike before getting it.
  6. Its nice to have people interested in you, but I would hate it if it came from people used to be only frirnds, and now all the sudden they want more. Those people are only interested in the SEX my dear. I'm a man and take it from me. No old friend would suddenly show an interest except if he wanted something out of you. Why never he showed this interest before? Read what Elisabethsew said, I think those people are mean and if I saw your friend Elisabethsew I would punch him in the face, the thinner you get the more he likes you, and the fatter you get the more he distant himself, what a loser
  7. Its the only way I know how to sleep.. However, after the band I stayed 4 months not being able to sleep on my stomch. I wouldn't call what i had pain, it was rather discomfort. Now I'm doing great again, and sleeping on my stomach again:) Again if no pain there is no problem, but be vrey attentive not to only pain, also any discomfort might mean you shouldn't sleep that way, for now
  8. 2 scrambled eggs + half a cup sweet corn
  9. I drove 2 days after operation, where I think I shouldn't. Every bump on the road hurt my incisions. I guess it all depends on how you feel
  10. Hehehehehehe, very funny comparison:D
  11. My first fill was 4 months later... It all depends on how much weight you are losing. If you are losing weight, then no need for a fill, if not, then you should get one..
  12. well, I like the morning tightness, cuase in all honesty hot Water (tea, coffee, soup) loosen my band a lot. So I only do it if I want to trick the band, and eat a lot
  13. Jachut I agree 100% with what you said. I do the same, eat more than others might, and still lose weight.
  14. If I'm hungry, I would snack on a cup of skimmed milk with one granola bar. Its very healthy, and would stop my hunger for at least 2 to 3 hours. But if you don't want to consume calories (casue dinner will be served soon) then a large glass of water would do the trick and calm your hunger. You don't have to be starving with the band...
  15. I answered before without reading your question, but here is what you can tell yourself and tell your family about the band. Just yesterday, after I ate my good healthy dinner, I got hungry at night, so instead of snacking like a bandster, I snacked like the old (me) I found a bag of Ymmmy nachos in front of me, so I started pigging out like I used to do before. seconds later (while I was eating) I couldn't breath anymore, and the nachos got stuck. So i had to STOP, if it wasn't for the band, then I would've ate the whole bag, then probably 2 sandwitches, a bottle of coke and so on. that used to be me, so think twice about how much this band could be helpful... If it was so easy to diet and excersice then you would not have seen any fat preson...
