thanks lollymoe

thanks oc mom!

this isnt working at all. so many people make it sound so easy 2 stay focused n have the weight come off. then u have the smart asses that make u feel bad n by fussing at u if u make a mistake. this is way harder than I thought. weigh this, measure that, count this, drink drink, burn burn burn. that doesnt sound right, stop this...etc... I feel like a kid who cnt do anything right when I am really trying. No one here is perfect or u wouldnt b here, Im seeking help nt a lecture. nothing beats a failure but a try right? :-( smh...

what can u eat?

My doc advised me 2 eat egg mcmuffin whether I cook it at home or buy one from the restaurant. I also stated n my post that Im eating Special k cereal with skim milk. I thought that cereal was a good choice. My doc told me 2 take a bite or 2 off the sandwhich or meal chew chew chew n wait 10 mins then if i cn stand another bite go 4 it but I should be full. I see more n more that all doc r different from just reading the posts on here

yes im here humming bird. lol yes this thread went crazy but I agree with u egg mcmuffins r an excellent breakfast choice so im really leaning towards my doc's advice. he hasnt steered me wrong yet :wub:

thanks 4 the info

have u had a fill yet? if so u might have restriction

Ive been eating 1/2 a bowl special k cereal n it has fiber n protein n it with a little skim milk n it keeps me full

Im at the stage where I was told 2 eat egg mcmuffin for breakfast, 1/2 turkey sandwhicg 4 lunch with mayo lettuce cheese n tomatoe, dinner baked meat with brocolli or other veggies. U know we nt suppose 2 eat n drink at the same time 2 wait 30-40 mins b 4 u drink liquids if thats the case can I eat cereal??? isnt the skim milk pushing the cereal down making my band less full? help me im confused...

how many fills did it take u before u had good restriction n the weight started coming off? I had my 1st fill dec 21st n it has been very confusing. right after the fill i felt restricted but as the days went bk the restriction was less n less. usually n the morning im full n tight nt hungry but at nite it feel like my band is wide open n the restriction is on vacation. What should I do? Has anyone else experienced this?

Im by madison n cicero. i take aqua fitness class tues n thurs nites so im free mon n weds whats up where r u

thanks again ymjackson

thanks i got the drinkin part but do u eat b4 or after u work out

I added protein n fiber 2 my diet 2day n oh boy the gas blew me away. I didnt even have this much gas after surgery. Is this normal? share ur experience with me

~thanks i guess it depends on how hungry i am n how late it is after my wrk out. since my fill now i can exercise n my doc sd after a couple of bites of food i should b full 4-5 hrs. along with my water n diet snapple. i thought after working out u work up an appetite??

thanks. im tryin 2 decide which one works best 4me. i guess it depends on how hungry i am n how late it is

after ur post-op visit u told ur doc that u were hungry n could eat any n everything n he didnt schedule u a fill? smh! well every doc is different . be 4 surgery did u all discuss how often the fills will b given? maybe ur nt gettin enough Protein to hold u over n make u full. make an appointment with ur nutristionist n drink drink drink. I had surgery nov 23rd 09 n had my 1st fill dec 21st n it really gave me restriction. at 1st i thought that food was getting stuck n my chest n it hurted then i told my doc n he sd thats what restriction is n my body was telling me that i was full. wow i didnt know when 2 stop eating. i hope u get a fill b4 jan 21st but this is definitely hard wrk n u have 2 have self control n make the right food choices. best wishes let me know how things go.. 3lbs from onederland
