    "Worst slip I've ever seen" - Dr.

    Finding a healthy way -- following up to my surgery for band removal on the 25th at Emory Hospital, Atlanta. All went well. Other than a little nausea from the anesthesia, there was no marked discomfort. It felt like I had been doing some ab crunches for a couple days. Took a little Tylenol and Advil for a couple days and was good t go. I can't tell you how grateful I am to eat my 14 oz of vegetables at night now (just once!). Eating has become a pure pleasure again. Now that I have Bright Line Eating (been doing this now for 15 months) and I know how to eat, how much to eat, what to eat and when, my life is on tract. Other than planning my meals, food no longer plagues my life. I can enjoy the good foods on my plan and know that it is enough and I will continue to lose weight without regurgitation and dread. I wish others could find this peace without drastic measures like surgery. I had to learn the hard way. Don't we all have to find our own way?!

    "Worst slip I've ever seen" - Dr.

    Finding a Healthy Way -- that's the answer. It took me many, many years of dieting and the Band to realize that. I mentioned in an earlier post that I found Bright Line Eating on line in June 2016. This way of life has been my savior. The goal is to live happy, thin and free, free from the burden of food controlling your life. I'm still not at my goal weight (20 pounds to go) but I have experienced the freedom. It's wonderful. It's not easy. Good luck. I'm getting my band out the 25th of Sept. and I can't wait. It has been the worst thing I've ever done to lose weight. Can't be good over a lifetime. My surgeon says that's all she does is remove these things (after all she did was put them in, go figure?) Kathy

    Diet After Band Removal

    DixieDarlin2 -- It's been a couple years now. How is your weight? I am having my band removed after 12 miserable years of regurgitation and nausea on the Sept 25, 2017. I lost 55 pounds and kept it off 6 years by throwing up every meal! Then I had the solution removed and gained 20 pounds which I maintained for another 5 years. Then I found Bright Line Eating. It has been the best thing I've ever done for myself. I ate my way down another 45 pounds. You can actually eat a lot of food (if you can get it down!) and lose weight. Lots of vegetables (no secrets). Check it out and Susan Peirce Thompson. Amazing!
