It doesn't look to bad to me, keep making healthy food choices and i think your doing fine. Though im new and i think i also eat wayy to much. I guess an average is about 1 cup 3x day. but heck are you losing? keep on truckin girl.

meekie, took about 2 hrs for tri care to approve the consult with dr. weiner. then it took 7 days to approve for actual surgery. he has you stay on a 3 week liquid diet. But be prepared cause i just went yesterday for my month check up and they said that because i lost 21 lbs they will not do an adjust ment and set my next appt at 3 mth check up on sept. 22 If i think i need a fill before then though im sooooo calling them back to beg. Also, i usually have to wait like and hour after myu appt. time to see him, its kinda crazy but still worth it.

hey meekie, i had my lapband done with prof. weiner, and i had a c-section and he did mine no problem. He will tell you though that lap band and americans beacause of the soft food like muffins goes thru the band that it might not be the best choice. Just let himknow its the only one your doing and he has no problemo's with it. I loved his hospital and staff.

hey, congradulations to, babies rock!!

check the prego forum and see others experience, but if he wants to take the fluid out because he is worried about the baby let him. The baby comes first. You can always restart after you deliver a nice healthy child.

Okay i went to my 1 mth checkup and i have lsot 21 lbs. But because i lost 21 lbs my surgeon will not do a fill. He scheduled me back Sept 22nd for a 3 mth checkup. I kinda think i eat to much. I had my surgery done in frankfurt germany and he just kept saying to watch my portions. My question is will i know if im hurting my band? Like say stretching my pouch? or a slip? Has anyone had these things and noticed them? i figure i can eat about 2 cups of food, i think i should just eat 1 so im trying to limit myself because i don't want no problems. I have some restriction because i sure could eat alot more before band, but have not had an actual fill and like i said won't probably get one till end of sept. unless i really need one

good luck ill be watching for her

hi, are you talking about the EFMP?? If you are no worries the lapband is not a problem, they have lapband docs here, i had mine done in frankfurt germany.

welcome all the new spouses, im glad to see this forum growing. for those of you who are about to deploy my heart goes out to you. my husband did 15 mths in iraq, his 365 days dwell time is almost up and they are slotted to go again. Sucks but damn we be proud wives right!! HOOAH!

yup normal to gain weight till your fill, ive read that tons of times here on the forum. Keep your head up!!

good job, were stationed in schweinfurt germany so i dont' know who benjamin brat is, but im glad you enjoyed yourself and didn't cheat. You can do it!!

im in college, but ohhh i am not young no more LOL...But no worries, just keep trying your best to make the good food choices and you'll do great. Good luck with your education, what are you studying?

okay im hearing things like 1/4 cp of food 3x a day is what people eat. Im concerned cause geesh i can eat more than that. I eat probably 1 cup to sometimes 1 and 1/2 cp. Lets see how much everyone is eating at one time okay..Thanks:thumbup:

i also am having no problems with anything. MY lil over month check up is on the 29th, i dont' know if he will give me a fill but im gonna ask. I dont' like being able to eat anything, bread, etc. and i think i can eat alot, like i ate a whole cheese sandwhich. i don't think i should be able to eat that much maybe 1/2 is all.

I love tunafish with (6)crackers and ate the sunkist to go ones, with no problems. Ive also had some gyro meat no problems, and ONE of my sons cheeze its. i honestly have had no problems, but i chew so that is like serious liquid in my mouth then i even press it and my tongue to the roof of my mouth to make sure that it was chewed enough. Im so scared to go thru what you just went thru. Im sorry it was bad, hopeflly next time it will be better.
