What a great product!!! I love the fact they have warnings on the box. Only kidding I have used this product and agree a better choice for my family than the other oily mixes out there. I have not tried anything like this since I got banded. I am happy with a chocolate nibble melting on my tongue. I am a major chocoholic. imaluckydog

I love your post, I love all of you SW's... I am a member for sure. I will not be able to get on a scale until August 26 at the Dr. office, I have been eating like a horse so I have a fat head today. Only three meals no snacks and lots of water and iced tea. Boy, can I still eat, I stop when I get the feeling,(you know) before that other feeling when you know what happens. LOL I had two servings of the most wonderful zucchini lasagna tonight I never missed the pasta. Some days I have restriction and somedays I don't!!! My head is always worrying about what the scale will say. I love your site BG because I keep my PAWS out of the cookie jar when I am at my computer. You have been so helpful. Thanks so much for all the sharing. It has really helped me. I am only 2 months post surgery and I feel great. The BEST EVER!!!!! I went to water jogging for the first time, that was a sight to see!! Me in a bathing suit. I was able to help save this elderly lady who went under the water as she lost her balance or bearings in the deep end. No one saw her go under (only me). NOT even the life guard saw her....OMG she the LIFE GURAD was texting on her phone and never saw what happened. Never even got out of her chair. The water jogging instructor finally jumped in when I yelled this lady needs HELP! Now picture this I am helping this frail elderly woman and I am very large and the instructor who is larger than I am jumps in and nearly swamps the helpless woman. I guess I was supposed to be there to help this person. Not sure if I want to go back yet to water jogging. It was a real work out physically and emotionally. Kathy imaluckydog to have friends like you.....

I teach sewing!!! LOL to little kids. I just love your quilt what a great idea. I am stealing that safe idea. Nice work. I love the dragon, so cool. You have been busy. I need a fill. I can eat way to much. I am trying the zucchini lasagna tonight for dinner. Glad to hear from you. imaluckydog Kathy

Great to hear from you. I am also doing as well. Close to 50 pounds but not yet, I will hopefully be down there at next weigh in on August 26. I have had a few stuck moments and that is not as pleasant. I did survive and live to remind myself to slow down I eat too fast, way to fast. Best wishes imaluckydog Kathy

Hi My Little Band Buddy, Life is so hectic I agree.. Do not feel bad I still weigh more than my Skinny A Husband. LOL I want to win the lottery too! But I never buy any tickets. I know what I can eat and how long it will take me. I make much better choices around my food now. Nothing is going in my pie hole I do not LOVE LOVE LOVE the taste of.... I need a fill too. I just LOVE you and glad to hear almost all is well. Thinking of you. imaluckydog kathy

Excellent!!! The stuck feeling is the worst ever!!! I have only had it three or four times that I can remember. I do remember each one. Darn I just do not want to feel that stuck feeling again. You are awesome I must say. I am taking life a little slower these days. Clean paws and proud of it. Best wishes imaluckydog Kathy

Nice, I too have lost a size or two. FEELS GOOD!!! Enjoy and have a great day. imaluckydog

I love your personality it comes thru in your blog. Honest and sincere, caring and thoughtful we can be friends any time. I am having to have physical therapy for my knee, getting into a suit was hard at first I just did it and I am feeling so much better. I have to admit I really like the water therapy much better on my joints. Have a great day. Best wishes imaluckydog

Keepin it positive, sista!!!!!! Don't even go there. Let's live for today and make it a corker. Sun is shinning here and I am on my way to another HAPPIER LB day. I took yesterday off and did not exercise at all everybody needs a little rest. I am up and running today. Best wishes. imaluckydog

Best wishes on your journey. I will be thinking of you. Keep in touch. imaluckydog

Hang in there it is sure to get better soon. I have been there just recently myself. Have a flush day and get back on track. That is what my nurse told me. One day back on liquids is just enough to set the mind straight again. Also blog a little more that has helped me a ton. We can do this together. Best wishes for a feel good day sooner than you think. imaluckydog

Hi I did have the same issue around week 2 to 5. Best to talk to nutritionist or doctor like I did. They both told me to have a glass of skim or low fat milk before bed and eat chewable vitamins like the Finstone kind. I was also tried and had no energy. They said Up the protein at each meal 10 grams more if I need too. So far So good!!! I just takes me longer t eat it all. I am excersing at least once a day and it has helped me. I am now at the end of my seventh week post op. I feel great and have had no problems. Best wishes to you. imaluckydog

Keep up the Great Job!! Focus on yourself and others will notice and ask how to be healthy as well. I am also a care giver and this is the time I learn to give to myself LB is hard enough. Get the cupboards empty with (ugh ugh ugh) do not let it back in once it is gone or it may creep as it did into my mouth. I have only had one fill so far and I am going on the 26 th for my second. My life has changed so much because I have made better choices. Other around me are healthier as well now. Only allow those better choices into your HOME!!!! Lets be friends together in this journey. Best wishes and keep up the good job. imaluckydog

I have only told four people, My husband, daughter ,son and sister who had GBPS 7 years ago. They will tell no one else and I have told no one. I just do not need any more people asking me questions like I read about on these pages. Yata, yata, yata!!!!! I read where people ask how much have you lost so far? How much did you loose today? How much do you want to loose? What do you eat? Why can't you just loose weight like everyone else? I want it to be about me and my health. If people want to say wow you look great I am all for that. I just do not want my private life exposed. I am with you on not telling a lot of people it is none of their business. imaluckydog

Hi Everyone, I have just read all the posts from our beginning. Hard to believe we are all about 7 weeks post op now. So Cool isn't it. I would like to know how everyone is doing thus far? Have we all had at least one fill? I have lost almost 50 pounds. I said almost 3 ounces away. I still have some really good days and I do make a few poor choices. I have found I cannot eat after 7 p.m. or I wake up with heart burn in the middle of the night. This is Not such a very good feeling. I still do not burp but I have gas all the time. Lets hear how our journey has been thus far. I would do it over again if I had too. Oh Happy day!! I look forward to hearing from anyone banded on June 29 or near that date. Best wishes imaluckydog Kathy

Hi, I had the same blueberry muffin experience about three weeks ago. Very big mistake, I thought I was going to die. It must be the flour or something that get stuck to sides of walls. I do not ever drink any more at meals. I used to drink so much at meals I'd even have 2 to 3 glass of whatever. I seem to get fuller on protein first, veg second and the fruit is usually by itself because I can never seem to get it in during a meal. Sounds like you are doing great. Keep it up. Best wishes. imaluckydog

If you really want to loose you will need to pay close attention to what and how much you are eating. Make the band work for you. I know people who have made the wrong food choices and have gained pounds and loose way to slow. LB is an amazing tool. What you said bottom "I’m a little on edge because I’m thinking that I’m going to have pay close attention to how much I eat. I can’t wait until September when I get my next fill." Why wait until September and be on edge for a few more weeks make better choices and get the water in the band will work for you. Play together as a band. Best wishes. imaluckydog
