I've been banded for 6 months, had 4 fills for a total of 2ccs. Since my 4th fill (over 4 weeks) ago I haven't been able to eat ANYTHING without it getting stuck...we're talking applesauce, yogurt, pudding, EVEN DRINKS!. It's so frustrating and I have given it time to settle itself in...it's been over 4 weeks now. Every time I eat something mushy have to to go the bathroom and spit out the slime (gross) and most of the time PB. I get full very fast but get hungry within 2-3 hours afterwards.... My band has NOT slipped by the way. Anyone else felt too tight with a small amount of saline?

I'm not in the metro area, but I am in Manhattan...about 1 hour 45mins from OP.

Older does not automatically equate to intelligence or more life experiences! Only education and experience can do those things, not age!

Everyone's going to tell you something different. However, if you buy a basic vanilla flavored mix...you can add anything you want to it, and make it any flavor! here's a great site for weight loss surgery shakes recipies

I'm a vegetarian and I have studied foods that are high in Protein. This is what you could eat: Breakfast: Peanut Butter on whole wheat toast or a Yoplait Light yogurt. Lunch: Hummus with pita bread or an awesome spinach salad Dinner: Tofu stirfry or Quinoa casserole (VERY HIGH IN PROTEIN) You can also have a glass or two of soymillk or cows millk for some extra protein.

Yep! All the time! Especially the people who attack others for having an education and knowing more about a subject than they do...but they keep replying and demonstrating their lack of intelligence!

If you knew all about intersexuality, why would you act so completely disrespectful and igorant about the subject? And furthermore you litterally asked for the "education" that I gave you, and then had nothing to say once I did, except for personal attacks on my character and education that you so clearly have not obtained.

Thank you, and I do have personal and life experience in the area of intersexed individuals. I volunteer at two community organizations that cater to these delicate issues, and I am also an advocate for the LGBTQ community and an official ally for the campus SafeZone support services. I stand behind my comment that I am truly more intelligent and more educated than MOST of the people on this forum in many areas, and especially on this exact topic. Thanks again.

If you believe in Freud, than you are far worse off than I thought!

First of all....how is that post relevant? And second of all, if it is, then what do you see wrong with it? Nobody else on that thread thought anything of it.

I am truly more educated on this topic than many people, including you I guarantee. I called hummingbird an idiot because she was acting like one, as stated in my response to her mocking my higher education. Since when did a college education become devalued? Since other people became jealous? I did exactly what I was asked to do, educate all the igorant biased individuals about intersexed individuals and responded accordingly when I was attacked for doing so.

There's an actual tool for it. It's called a ginger grater. I have one because I love ginger and all of its health bennefits. The tool is very inexpensive, and can be found at any kitchen store or here on amazon. Amazon.com: Kyocera 3.5 Inch Ceramic Grater: Kitchen & Dining

I'm sorry, no offense, but don't compare yourself to a dirty, dead, bird....EVER. Seeing your past body as overweight in a negative light is something completely different than comparing your skin to something dead. Havn't we come past this? Seriously ladies, be proud of what you look like and the hard work that it took to get there, DON'T degrade another part of your body. You were beautiful when you were fat, and you are beautiful now, it's time to start acting like it, which includes negative self-talk.
