Been there, done that! Next time (and there will be a next time), order it 'Protein Style' Double Double with grilled onions. Ask for a fork and knive. Protein Style is wrapped in lettuce, no bread, disassemble, passing on the lettuce and tomatoes, you can fit the small patties and cheese in your pouch, cut into small bites, eating slowly and chewing well, it will stay down. PS: Skip the Fries, and I always ask for water (Dont drink the water, but it stops the questions about not drinking anything)

I was told that you drop 1 shoe size approx every 30 pounds. I'm down 65 pounds,and have been re-fitted at New Balance twice. (I'm lucky, I get to wear tennis type shoes at work - I haven't worn a dress shoe in 14 years)

Both of us were banded December 2008. Its been a wonderful experience to share. Please make sure that you have someone to take care of both of you for the first week.

Its WAY MUCH BETTER this way. Coughing the first week or so after surgery is a real bummer. Make sure you are done with residual coughs before doing this.
