I took the advice of trying MiraLAX and it is great! I think I have lost a few pounds just from being regulated with it. ITs super gentle and took a few days. My OB/GYN says its safe enough to take daily. Life is good again! Smile.

Yeah, don't worry.....I did not have ANY restriction until a few fills later. You are in the healing stage so its fine. You will not be able to eat that much once you have proper restriction.

Don't worry...the hair falls out for a few months and then it stops as quickly as it started. Examples of Protein that I eat: Egg Beaters with cheese sprinkled on it Black Beans or Refried beans with cheese Wendy's Chili with Cheese Nachos I make at home with Frito Bean Dip, cooked hamburger meat with Taco Bell seasoning and cheese Mozerella Cheese Sticks Musle Milk in the morning

How did the band erode? If you are in that much pain, I would just charge it on a credit card and get rid of the pain. I am so sorry to hear this news.

California pizza Kitchen Crispy Thin Crust Sicilian I can only eat thin crust pizza. This one is excellent tasting and goes down if I eat very slowly. I also dip mine in Ranch Dressing which helps. It really helps with the pizza cravings. I was a "Pizza Queen" before the lap-band! Calories=310 Protein=17g Carbs=30g Fat=14g California Pizza Kitchen - Crispy Thin Crust - Sicilian Recipe

Hey Joe Glad to see that you are back on here and giving it a try. We all fall off so its good that you are ready to get back into the swing of things. I would get yourself a fill for sure and then check out the food and Nutrition topics and the one called Share Ideas of what you ate today, etc. Good Luck
