I thought giving up the beer was gonna be my biggest challenge.. Coors Light was my best friend, but... its Margaritaville now (no salt). Yummy!

Ive used mine at the Golden Corral down here in Georgia. There isnt anything too apealling to me on a kids menu, plus im a vegetarian, so I just order a reg meal and take the left overs home.

Yeah, Id wait til u asked ur Dr. I waited about 8 weeks post op for that much awaited Margarita! :biggrin:

Im thinking a PB is when you eat too much, or too fast and it comes back up.. Ive never experienced it, so I may be wrong. Ive "slimed" once. I ate a bite of cake, serves me right,, and it got stuck and came back up with a bunch of mucus. Your stomach produces alot of mucus and more so when it's manipulated from the band placement and after fills. Thats why you hear ppl saying they are tighter in the morning and drink something hot to loosen themselves. Hope this helped you.. good luck

Yeah, all the Drs have their own little schedule they like to do fills. I'm 13 weeks out and just had my second fill, and fill it he did,lol I have a total of 6ccs now, and i can tell the dif. Good luck:thumbup:

Awesome, dont you love when people notice!!:wink:

I had my surgery back in March. I had 3 classes (10 credit hours) on Monday and Weds. I took off the following week from school. After that was not a problem. Plus my Professors were really cool, they emailed me any notes or discussions in class. Good luck!!

Hey Betsy, Your not alone when it comes to food addition. Probably most every single person on this site is/was addicted to food. Im an emotional eater myself, weather its being really excited and happy or stressed over something. 62lbs is an awesome weight loss so far. Congrats. Do you think you are at a platau? (sp) I hit a serious one when I got to 38lbs. I couldn't get a fill for about 4 weeks later because I had gotten my first one, which didnt give me any restrictions, so I was pretty much on my own. I made good food choices, but I slipped up a couple times. We had pizza for dinner one time, I cut a slice in half and ate it. It satisfied my craving for it. Before I could eat like 3 slices. What helpes me get back on track is to do do liquids or protein drinks the following day. Im paranoid about stretching my pouch, so thats why I went back to liquids for a day or so. I fluctuated up and down 2-3 lbs for 3 weeks til I got my fill acouple weeks ago. Just remember we all in this battleing the same demons as you are. Keep your chin up girlfriend and GOod Luck!:bored:

Uhh, I was in the same boat as you, but I drank the Isopure in the beginning, but that gets old also. I'm doing the EAS Carbcontrol drink. It's not thick and sugary like the slimfast or powders and i believe it only has like 2 grams of sugar. I get them at Walmart. THey come in Choc, Van, and Strawberry. :bored: Oh,, and they have 17 grams of protein in a 11oz drink.

Yeah, I would agree with SanDiagoPhotog... I don't see whats so offensive about it. I used to eat like that, as I'm sure some of us have, so my interpretation of the picture is, a guy eating out of control, if you want control, get a lapband. Its helped me control my eating,,,, down 36 lbs in 8 weeks
