  1. bandster, look back and think about why you got banded. Also, it sounds like you may not be getting enough protein. The chili and meatloaf will fill you up the most. YOu'll be okay. Just learn from this and move on.
  2. Jennibee, I am sorry that happened to you. When I went from 175 to the 200s I ran into an old friend of mine. He looked at me and said "what happened to Julie". I never looked at it that way until he said that to me. It really hurt. You handled that with grace.
  3. I am so glad you are a patient of Doctor McKeen. What a cutie isn't he! Glad you are doing okay . He is a wonderful surgeon. Good luck.
  4. What is your band size? I have heard that some people need as much as 7 ccs.
  5. PBing is productive burp. It is similar to vomitting.
  6. That would definitely hurt my feelings. What a bitch. Take it in stride . YOu will love being banded. Good luck.
  7. 1-2 lbs per week. 800-1k calories is best but some bandsters eat 1200 Hope that helps.

    I have 3 tatoos. One on my right thigh, one on my right foot and ankle and one on my left breast. I love all of them.
  9. I would try and go on liquids for a few days. If that doesn't help then you need an unfill.
  10. Good luck to you. I know how it can be when you are waiting for restriction.
  11. Why haven't you had a fill yet? Typically they will fill you after your 6 week checkup. It sounds like it is time. Good luck.
  12. That is a great NSV. You should be thrilled! Good job!
  13. Dr. McKeen in San Jose is awesome. He takes Mexico patients. I would definitely consider him. Good luck.
  14. I went to an amusement park and rode all the rides without an issue. It was great fun. Have fun!
  15. Don't be ashamed of yourself. The liquid diet phase is not easy. Do you have a GNC close by? They have a great protein shake in soy and whey. I would try their chocolate. Good luck.
  16. Mine only uses fluoro if you are difficult to fill. He always gets my fill on the first attempt.
  17. Yes, it is time for a fill when you are hungry, are eating too much or and not losing.
  18. Depends on how much you eat. With good restriction I eat 1/4 cup.
  19. I can eat bread fine, just not a lot of it.
  20. Deb, sorry to hear about that. I hope you get your surgery scheduled soon. Good luck.
  21. $359 plus tax. They usually go for $399 plus tax.
  22. That is ellen underscore rivera@yahoo.com
  23. Cool. Here is your phone number: 408-966-8877. Here is her email address: ellen_rivera@yahoo.com Where do you live? She can ship it to you.
