yes I got that choking feeling yesterday ....it is so uncomfortable...for me it is either eting too fast or my band letting me know it does like what i am eating....after this last fill......all pouultry except ground turkey no longer agrees with me..i miss chicken. good luck

hi all on hairloss I too had a bit of thinning but now that my body has adjusted to the diet it is coming back ....My nutrition said it is normal and usually by 6-8 months after the surgery it starts coming back. I do have extremely thick hair to start but it was very noticeable. MY cousin my hairdresser noticed it before I did. I never took BIOTIN but it is coming back.......good luck

sorry to hear that. I went to the club with my friends Sunday and i got turkey with gravy and cranberry thought it was wet enough. nope had to go outside on the terrace and pb into a cup...my only saving grace was it was raining nd terrace was empty...live and learn. e1 keep up the good work

gravy or ketchup helps

wtg nrp you are almost there wonderful

Does anyone have suggestions on what to bring? I am planning on bringing some protein shakes and protein bars.some nuts and dried fruit. If anyone has any suggestions of any kind I would appreciate the help. Thanks

Hi all Glad to hear everyone is doing well. I am going for my first fill on Tuesday and I was wondering about it. Sounds like it will not be too painful though I do not like the dentist. If anyone has any other info about fills please let me know. Thanks.
