  1. Thanks for the advice...at this point the majority of what I eat is whatever will stay down. I chew well, I eat slowly...it goes in, stays in my throat (doesn't go to my stomach at all most the time) and comes back up. I feel it almost immediately and know its not going to stay. My normal day is scrambled or hard boiled egg (if my body will allow it which isn't alot), if I can't eat that I'll eat a bowl of oatmeal, Nutra Grain bar or fruits/veggies for snack, Soup for lunch, nuts for snack and salad with whatever meat and other veggies i decide to cook for dinner. Usually its worse at night. I can't get any answers from the Lapband Solutions people, they said to drink Pineapple or apple juice before I eat :| I don't even have my cc info and all the stuff like you guys do. I think I should call the actual DR and find out what he has to offer. Thanks for the help:) Great job on your losses thus far! Its truly amazing and I hope I will be back on here soon with better news on my end. ~ DXEGRL
  2. I was banded on Dec.26, 2007, so a about 15months ago. I've only lost about 30lbs although I can hardly keep any food down. It actually doesn't even get to my stomach, apparently I have a mucus issue...anyway, I haven't lost any weight since 06/08 and I'm very annoyed. I also have PCOS so I know alot of it is attributed to my Insulin Resistance, but I was still wondering if anyone can give me pointers. Have you gone through any of this? What can I do to step off this "plateau"? This is my first post and any advise or help would be greatly appreciated. I have no clue how many cc's, I went last month for a 3rd fill but she told me she wasn't putting much in since I can't eat alot(which isn't b/c of no room, trust me!). Thanks all~ DXE
