I dont have time to read all this!!!!!!! LOL

I am 4 months out. I have had salad, but in small amounts. If I have too much my stomach hurts for several days. My understanding is that on raw veg's it takes the stomach longer to digest it. So, I try to stay away from it. Not worth the pain.

I've gotten stuck twice at breakfast. Several people on here say that A.M. it is more likely. Some say thet drink something warm to loosen things up.

Yogurt, stringcheese, tuna, your surgeon should have given you a list of foods and when you can start eating them

Didnt they say she went to Coventry?

I had a little taste of the things I wanted and didnt even finish that. Then I had some leftover pie filling in the pie plate. (wont say what kind) and a cookie. BUT, I was sitting by a gastric bypass person!! That helped. I did good I thought.

Oh Salsa, big congrats! I know that is such a big deal. I am envious!

Am I an "older" user??? And I vote for NO more pictures of twinkies or lasagne! %-(

I heard when the band is removed vaginally it causes an organism! Can you believe THAT!!

I agree with Tish, besides we pay our doc's the big bucks for a reason. Call the nurse and ask her if she thinks you should come in.

Kelly...when I was doing my best I was entering my food intake on one of the websites. It really made me look at what I was eating. I have gotten away from that and need to get back to doing it regularly. I also weigh once a week at the Y when I go for Arthritis swimming class. How many fills have you had? How old are you? Calorie Counter, Diet Tracking, Food Journal, Nutrition Facts at The Daily Plate FitDay - Free Weight Loss and Diet Journal CalorieKing - Diet and weight loss. Calorie Counter and more.

I am the only one invited tho. I took pictures Sunday night for my 3 months post op. I looked at them on the computer and it really bummed me out. I guess I expected more of a difference for 35+ pounds. Something else I think about is--when I go anywhere I am still this FAT person to anyone else. Husband and friends say they can tell I have lost. And I pretty much have NO restriction. I need a talkin to! Give me some encouraging words please.

I have been cooking sense I was 15, and I have nevur cooked a roast in the pot. But then they invented CROCK POTS11111. I use that. But not since I was banded. And there is a band called Kansas. Thats were I am from.

My son is there now, this is his 3rd deployment. I dont agree with them being there. But I whole heartedly support the soldiers. We should never have another Vietnam Welcome Home. But bring them home please.

Sometimes it seems that older people think since they are older they can talk to people anyway they want. Thats not right.

Nymphomaniacs Unite!!!!

Thats onederful!!!

Have you seen this website: Bariatric Surgery

PM=Private Message...you do this by clicking on the persons name and it will bring up a window...then click on private message..glad you are home and doing well. Did you go to high school in Springfield, if so where?

OMG right after surgery, so sorry. I have had 2 bouts of kidney stones had 4 Lithotripsys on both of them. Finally the last one was so big they had to do surgery and go in and retrieve it. I hurt for you. All men should have to pass a pea size stone before his woman gets pregnant!

Somewhere else on here it has been said...liquids in--liquids out!

Didnt realize your surgery was this week, Good luck Wednesday!

I'm not IN Springfield but I am from Springfield. I have lived in the metropolitan Kansas City area for 25yrs. I do know where Overland Park is! I too am 52, been overweight since about 5th grade. I have lost and gained over the years. Diet pills, Weight Watchers, Overeaters Anonymous, Jenny Craig, SlimFast, AccuPuncture on the ear, hypnotized, I tried a lot of different things. Now my knees and low back are a real problem, I had to do something. So far this is working out for me. I would be glad to chat, PM me.

Our psychologist recommended a book "Mindless Eating" by Brian Wansink. I read it before surgery. I thought it was really good. It talks about the difference between stomach hunger and head hunger. I think we all have a lot of mindless eating!

Chickie that is too funny!
