    Oh God Ate Too Much Slime, Burping etc.

    I have had a few episodes. Basically it is my own fault for either not chewing too much or eating too fast. I pray and hope that it doesn't happen too often.

    April Bunnies '09- Let's share: How are you doing?

    WEIGHT: Highest- 241 - 20 Jan 09 Surgery-196 - 23 Apr 09 Current- 176 FILLS: Currently have 6 cc's in a 10 cc band RESTRICTION: I had my second fill on Tuesday and now have pretty much reached my "sweet spot". Initially I was very tight and thought that I may have to go back for a defill but it has since relaxed just enough. RULES: I'm doing okay. Just trying to remember the no drinking during meals. I am also getting back into going tothe gym but the next month is going to be hectic .... we are moving across country. ANYTHING ELSE: I do eat some unhealthy food. I also use some of the 100 cal items for Snacks. Usually one packet can last 2 snack times. I now eat from a small plate and now can usually not even finish that. Continued luck to everyone.

    I start the solid phase tomorrow and am looking forward to what the future has to offer. ISITWORTHIT - What clinic were you banded at? I had mine at Slimband and I am on pureed until day 20. Please be sure to contact your Dr and get everything checked out due to your vomiting.
  11. Losing for me

    Feel really lost........

    I have the fol guidelines. On rising drink 1 sm glass of Water with the juice of 1/4 lemon - this helps open the band and aids in digestion. Breakfast - 1 Protein, 1 grain, 1 dairy 1 sm fruit eg - 1/4 - 1/2 c Cereal with 1/2 cup 1% or skim milk, 2 tbsp nuts/seeds (and/or 1/2 scoop dry Protein powder can mix with a little water), 2 tbsp berries OR 1-2 egg white omlette with veggies, 1 serving whole grain, 1/2 tangerine, 1/4 mango/papaya OR Meal Replacement or self made protein smoothie (incl 1 scoop protein powder) with1/2 c 1%/skim milk or 2 tbsp yogurt and 1/2 c water and 1/2 c fresh or frozen fruit Snack - 1 sm - 1/2 med fruit, 1 protein or 1/2 dairy eg - 10 grapes, 1/4 - 1/2 c low fat yogurt, add 1/4 - 1/2 scoop dry protein powder (can mix with a little water) OR 1/2 c fresh or frozen berries, 1 oz low fat cheese OR 1/2 sliced apple, 1 tbsp almond butter, 1 rye crisp lunch - 1 protein, 1 grain, 1 sm salad or 1 veggie serving eg - 1 c lentil Soup, 1 rye crisp, 1 sm salad OR 1/2 c chili (with chicken or beef), 1 rye crisp, 1/2 cup steamed veggies or a sm salad OR 2 tuna melts on rye crisps, sm salad Snack - 1 sm - 1/2 med fruit or 1/2 serving of veggies, 1 oz protein or 1/2 serving of dairy eg - 1/2 apple, 1 tbsp hummus, 1 rye crisp OR 1/4 - 1/2 c fresh or frozen fruit, 2 tbsp nuts/seeds OR 2 dried dates and 2 dries apricots, 1/4 c soy nuts dinner - 1 protein, 2 veggies or 1 veggie and 1 salad eg - 3 oz chicken. 1 c steamed asparagus, 1 baked tomoato OR 3 oz baked sole, 1 c stir fry veggies OR 3 oz beef/ground chicken or turkey meatloaf, 1/2 c steamed cabbag, 1/2 cup grilled peppers. They also not for optimum weight loss, avoid grains and starchy veggies after 5 PM. I hope that helps you on your journey. I too am pretty leary as to the introduction of "real" foods. I start this stage tomorrow.
  12. I am now on the pureed phase. My Dr gave me detailed menus for each phase and I am just following that. I do find that I am more hungry lately but I am resisting. I read so many people who are on do many diets but I will do as my Dr ordered. As of next Tues I start the soft food phase and there is even a sample menu for that. I am pretty sure that I can mix that up and follow it to help get me to my 1st fill.

    First fills

    I was banded on 23rd Apr and my 1st fill is scheduled for 25th May. They requested that I have a light breakfast before going.

    Friday Weigh Ins

    My actual weigh in day is Thursdays but I would like to be included anyway. This morning I weighed 185 lbs.
  15. I will be moving there this summer and was wondering if there was anyone from that area. Would love to know also if there are support groups available in the area.
