Good One, I was thinking Yeah..... Baby!!!! HuH , Oh well You made me look....Virginia:faint:

I ate my first taco last night of course they were soft corn tortillas. soft flours ones scares me, i would love to eat them im afraid they will get stuck, i ate 1 1/2 tacos they were great and i was full. :straight

I dont eat hot dogs, but i do eat corn dogs ! im afraid of the bread getting stuck ,not the meat ! i eat the whole corn dog its made from corn meal, but i would ask my Doctor, good luck ...virginia

I have lost 16 lb's so far, I've been eating normal foods, sometimes in the morning i drink 20 grams of protien shake to get my protiens, then sometimes i eat lunch sometimes i dont, but when i do i eat. I eat normal food for lunch and dinner, the only thing im afraid to eat is salad and light breads,pasta,chips, i do eat cheese puffs. i was told not to eat pasta WHY ? I know why not to eat the light breads, But ! what is everyone else eating out there Thanks ....Virginia :help:

Ha ! My coorinador told me not to eat 30 minutes before a meal, because if you drink the liquid then eat, you will feel full faster , than if you would of waited 30 minutes. I wait 2 hrs after i eat . My Dr, gave me a book called Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric banding Authur Jessie H Ahroni P.H., A. R.N.P. and it states the same thing, so i go by my Dr 's book. drink 30 mins before you eat - drink 2 hrs after you eat... just do what your Dr' suggested ......Virginia :biggrin1:

No, But, ive read so many stories, i dont know whats true, I just dont want to hurt anything, So, I guess i should call my coorinator and ask Thanks for your reply:)

Do what you think is best, we have been going threw court and a appeal, just to keep our 2 little girls we fianally won permenant custody. we have been in court for almost 4 yrs, the family member trying to take them is relentless, but we dont give up either, because we are doing what is right for our little girls. my kids are from a distant family member. but i tell you what its well worth it !!!!! they call us mom and dad, and we love each other to know end, and know one can break that bond .its cost us out the batootie ,but id do it again, I'm 44 yrs old and we tried for yrs to have children but could not, and im glad i waited later in life. there our little angels.we have all learned alot from each other, there are very smart. our girls has 6 other siblings scattered everywhere, but like i said do what you think is right and good luck...virginia I had my lap-band july 22nd,2006 ive lost 14 lbs.:clap2:
