  1. I was too tight and so I went in for a slight unfill and my Dr wasn't in so I was tortured by a nurse for 20 minutes before she called in the Dr that was there. Well, he took out 1cc and I think that was way too much. After that I was able to eat more than I should eat and that opened me up to carbs and most WLS patients are carbaholics. I am no exception. I still get my protien in but I think I have prety much been grazing and my favorite choice for grazing are high carb food. I have noticed the scale has starteedmoving in the wrong direction andd this causes me to eat emotionally and carbs are what I eat. I plan to go in for anotherr fill but that will have to wait until after my colonoscopy this week. But my little evil voice inside is telling me to wait until after thje holidays so I can enjoy all the goodies. If I ever find the physical source of this voice, I will strangle it lol. I am planning to make the call to get in for a fill right after I eat my lapband appropriate breakfast here. I don't like being a bad girl! The fill will help me to eat les but I don't think it will bust the carb cycle I am in. I do think that spendding a day on clear liquids and drinking the colonoscopy prep might help mee to begin to crack the carb cycle but it will only bee the first step. I am going to try really hard not to eat them again after it is over. Does anyone have any advice on how to kill the carb monster?
  2. Hello everyone. My name is Iman and I just registered with this site today. I am a bandster and was banded on 10/30/2007. I have lost 107 pounds and went down 7 sizes. I hope to lose another 80 pounds to reach my goal weight. My surgeon is Dr Paul Guske of Suburban Surgical Care Specialists and they are out of Elk Grove/Arlington Heights/Hoffman Estates, Illinois. I'm a member of Bandbuddies on Yahoo and a member of ObesityHelp.com. I joined this site because I was interested in shake recipes. I get bored easily eating the same thing day in and day out. And even after a little over a year, I still get tight and need to consume protien shakes.
