Don't think so! If you have a stuck episode, try either pineapple juice or coke. Both work about the same. If I use them, I drink them warm. It only takes a couple ounces to relieve, or upchuck the stuck thing. Good luck to anyone who has a stuck episode!

Well two thumbs up! Congrats! Keep on going!Amazing results, too!

I could not get mine to stay away! She went to college 100 miles from home, and drove home very week end! She came home if she was ill, she needed mom,. She came home for Halloween, 'cause it was a favorite! I wanted her to become more involved in school, she wanted home! It was hardest when I became an empty nester! Both my kids moved from Maryland to Nebraska for school,then I felt lost. this was in the 1990's. I installed a 800# in their home to call them! HAHA!!!

Like mis73 said. Welcome to the site and best wishes on your healing! You are only 12 days out of surgery, you know. Calm down!!!

Congrats to you!

Back at you Pastor!

Interesting, pastor o, I noticed that Huckabee has been gaining back again. I pray for him to find his strength and will power to lose again. His health is very important to him and to all his followers! Thanks for the article, pastor!

Congrats! Walk as much as you can, it will relieve any gas that you might get. Usually, gas pains come within 1st 10 days! Welcome a board!

Congrats!!!I am like elcee, never jogged 5 k, even after 3 1/2 years of lapband and exercising!

You might be too early for salad. I can't tolerate most lettuce, especially iceberg, as opposed to Sashawls. So, go slowly, and try it. Best wishes, Karen

Glad to hear that you are feeling better, I hope that you are not overfilled. If, after a few days of liquids \, you still can't eat, call for a slight unfill, .1 cc makes a difference! Best wishes. Karen

Yeah! NSV's are the best! So excited for you! Congrats!

Me too to Terry and Sharpie. Lost, probably, 1000 lbs in my lifetime, but gained it back! Best wishes, I would never want to dissuade you from your own decision. 66 lbs is amazing in 6 months. Woohoo!

Best wishes to a new day!

She probably isn't allowed to swim as her surgery was just 12 days ago and she is probably not healed where they sutured her. But, walking is great and you could be doing that. Slow down, you are still healing. You have lost n amazing amount of weight already, I hope that you are not disappointed that you might not get a fill. Don't rush your fills if you don't need one. Best wishes, and keep up the great work! Karen

I agree with mis73. I had gallbladder removal about 8 years before my lapband. I also, developed a bad case of pancreatitis afterwards. Seems that there were stones left me my bile duct. Neither my gallbladder nor my pancreatitis developed due to lapband! I guess it would be possible, if you have to have your gallbladder removed due to weight loss, but I don't think that that would cause you to get pancreatitis! If you think that you have a medical problem, see your surgeon. Best wishes. Karen

Yeah for NSV and DKNY!

Not having one, as in being retired!

Don't eat sushi, but had no trouble tolerating string cheese. Now, don't eat it due to lactose intolerance. But, as someone else said, Babybel is good so is Sargento. i don't do low-fat/no fat due to the higher sugar content.

Wow! You are doing great. You look so much younger, too! Keep up the great job, you will reach your goal in no time!

I agree with your decision. A wise man, and you know your own body and health. Best wishes to you!

It will happen for you too, one day you wake up and the scale has dropped several pounds, in what seems all by itself. And then you notice that all those clothes that were fitting are way too big. Best wishes! It was not right away for me, but one day I noticed it happened, too!

But wait when you catch a glimpse of your new self in the overhead at Target, or the like, and don't recognize its you! It happened to me, and same day my daughter couldn't find me in the aisle at the store becasue she did not recognize me either. Best wishes, it will happen and soon!

Sounds real good. My surgeon has us go on 2 days clear liquids after a fill, so this might be an alternative after a fill, too. Hot and sour soup helped me survive clear liquid weeks.

When they told me I had lost enough or too much, I just said okay, thanks for your opinion. "no, I am no sick!" Best wishes to your personal goal. Karen
