I've never PB'd and had maybe 3 stuck episodes BEFORE restriction (raw baby carrot too big of a bite; and cheap white bread too doughy). Being at restriction doesn't mean the band STOPS you from eating specific foods.
The band helps me feel satiated on less food.
If I go longer than 6 hours between meals ( which unfortunately happens everyday for me because of workout and commute) I gasp, feel hunger.

Full disclosure 43 year old woman no kids. Bought Xbox 360 used and Kinect. Using it to do Zumba and dancing games. GREAT exercise. You can even have multiple dancers on some games. So you could get your grandkids involved. Enjoying it way more than I expected.

I agree chili is a mushies I would try testing more soul d foods.

Neither does alcohol lot of people on the site drink that.

Premier ready to drink Protein Shake available at costco and Sam's. 160 calories 30 grams of Protein and I think maybe 3 grams of carbs.

You were clearly having some kind of issue. I must say however that my doctor doesn't do fluro fills either. However I've never had any issues so I don't know if you would do 1 in that event.

My doctor has never said to eat via volume ie cups. Only ever said to eat 3 oz solid Protein per meal.

Please understand I am not being mean spirited. You need to measure your food. My doctor says to weigh 3 oz of Protein and eat low fat/ cal veggies until full. When your allotted Protein is gone no seconds. Just because you can eat more doesn't mean you should.
This is a diet for now. Also, don't expect restriction at your first fill. Took me about six fills.

33 pounds is a lot that's 4 pounds a week. Doctors say 1-2 pounds is normal. The band is not meant to stop you from eating any specific food!!!!!! Don't think the band isn't working because you can eat bread.
Also how much do you have to loose? Lower bmi at time of surgery normally means slower loss.

Are you exercising? If not start. If you are for how long and how many days a week? My doctor wants min. 30 minutes 7 days a week.

Greek yogurt with half scoop Protein Powder, unflavored Fiber powder, high Protein Kashi go lean, couple broken up walnuts. Splendra to taste. Lasts me about 4 hours. Have coffee during commute yogurt around 9: 30.

Added to rasp. Yogurt tasted like a pub& j!

Sometimes fast food is unavoidable. KFC has grilled chix breast pull off the skin. Many FF places now have apple slices for the kids meals but anyone can buy them. Haven't been to McDs to eat in years. That said egg mcmuffin with Canadian bacon would be a good option minus the bread.< /p>

Starting week 2 or week 3? Week two I was allowed 1 cup full liquids ie Tomato Soup and 1 cup in Protein Shake. Week three was 3 oz soft mushies like yogurt per serving. My doctor goes by weigh rather than volume (cup) for solids.

How long can you go between meals? How large are your meals. What are you eating. You should expect at restriction to be able to go 4-5 he's before you feel hungry. The band isn't meant to make you never feel hungry.
