I have never felt restriction with liquids. Maybe they are talking about after they move on to mushy foods.

Where in Texas are you? Have you tried Dr Benavides or Dr Fox?

Bariatric Advantage makes a vitamin specifically for lap band patients. Thats what I take. It was like 25-28 for a 3 month supply. It is chewable watermelon flavor. It's called vita band

Oh how I had to have these shoes. They are so sexy, classy and my mom got them for me for my birthday. Here is a link http://www.zappos.com/n/p/p/7232941/c/72.html My feet look really fat in them:mad: I think because of the low cut on the sides but they dont seem to hurt. I am so bummed. Do you think that as I lose more weight my feet will look narrower or is it a lost cause?

I am too. I ordered some vitamins from Bariatric Advantage that are made specifically for band patients. They are called VitaBand. I also bought some Nioxin shampoo and conditioner on the reccommendation of my hairdresser. I hope it all helps.

I would love to know too. And if you do what all do you put in it. I did just order a Kitchenaid Food Processer as well. Im hoping it will help me.

I PBed this weekend and am having the burping/gurgling this too. Is this normal it is getting me concerned. I can eat though but very slowly.

I want to try this but because im a dummy I need help. When it says green onions is it talking about chives or just a regular onion? Also I dont like bell pepper can I just omit that?

You just have to. I rebeled with the whole 6 month diet too for over a year until I realized it was not going to happen unless I did it. So I just did it. Did I lose any weight? Not really but the whole point was that I did what the ins company required for me to do and I got approval. You can do it! It sucks to have to wait but in the long scheme of things it's only 6 months and it passes really quickly.

Jack, Here you go. The email was from lap-band@inamed.com http://www.zoomerang.com/survey.zgi?p=U24S8P8N6AFN

Did anyone else get a survey from Inamed about Lap- Band kits? I thought it was a neat idea. They have one for pre-op, post-op, plateau with things to help.

I have a great quiche recipe but it is not low fat. You could probably modify it if you are creative that way.

I dont know. I find my restriction/ hunger seems to change daily.

I will be 6 months soon and am where you are too. I have been actually feeling a little frustrated by after reading this it seems like 40lbs is about the norm for all of us. That makes me feel better.

I have been struggeling with my last fill for a month. I called the office about two weeks ago and told them and they thought maybe I needed to jsut get used to it. Finally today I called and insisted that I was too tight. They took me in and had me to a swallow and low and behold they said I was too tight. I think fills are such an individual thing. If you think something is not right go with your gut and have it checked. I have really been through it the last month not knowing from day to day meal to meal if I would be able to eat or not.
