    i saw the show also. i weighed 230 and i'm 5'5 and had alot of belly weight, but dont get me wrong, she is beautiful but i think the scale lied a bit.
  2. so your having your band removed? or fluid taken out?
  3. i had the band put in a few years ago and had to have it removed...just in december i had the band put back in. i had severe complications with the 1st band, i had no fluid and could not eat anything and barely drink anything. i was in/out of the hospital just to get hydrated. i delt with that issue for almost a year and couldnt deal with it anymore..i suggest going to your dr and making sure there isnt a blockage or slippage in the band..i'm not saying thats what it is. do u remember eating something and it got stuck a few days ago?
  4. you need to realize that you're still in the healing process. its totally normal to get hungry even though you already have the band. the hardest part is behind you. make sure you are getting enough protein! be patient, once you get your fill, then its a different story. good luck!
  5. how long has this been going on for?
  6. They have whole wheat, spinich, sundried tomato tortillas, i would opt for one of those. instead of using 2 pieces of tortillas, use one and fold in 1/2..remember our eyes are bigger than out stomachs..hope your doing well!
  7. biotin is a hit or miss..works for some not for all..but definately make sure you are taking in enough if not more protein!! good luck!
  8. i replaced pasta with spaghetti squash! it light, hardly any calories and can serve with almost anything. if i want a sandwhich, i use cold cuts and add avacado with some mustard you can add some cole slaw/broccoli slaw mix they sell them in bags...it gives a crunchy texture and all healthy
  9. i find it hard sometimes to sit and eat at the same time...a had the band before and had to have it removed bc of complications and just had it put back in. i would vomit all the time, even if there wasn't anything to throw up. it sounds gross, but i used to have a spit up bottle in my car bc i never know if a drink would come up and when ur driving and have nowhere to pull over, it sucks and can be messy. food that is also lubricated/juicy (sounds dirty..lol) does go down easier. i find chicken can be to dry on the inside and will get stuck. after you get stuck definately go to hot broth and tea for a day and then liquids the next and so on.. hope that helps
  10. i'm not really sure. right before my fill i started to feel a little pain on my side and wasn't sure if it was possible gas (literally 3 mins before my fill) just on liquids today, so i'll know more tomorrow and the next. just remember that everyones body is differenti would say just take things slowly. how much are you able to eat?

    ive said in alot of my posts, that i feel every bandster should invest in a juicer..you get your fruits and veggies and add some protein powder (vanilla or plant protein). especially on days when yoou feel stuck, you can always try and sip your nutrients. making sure you have enough protein will help to not lose hair.
  12. protein drinks, broth, sugar-free ice pops, i do believe ever bandster should invest in a juicer. (you can get them cheap, and not as messy as people make them seem) you get your fruits veggies and add powdered protein (vanilla is great and some health food stores sell plant protein)
  13. you dont have to personally worry about how many cc's, thats for the dr to figure depending on how much food you can tolerate now. todat i had my 2nd fill which i have a total of 5cc's so im on the liquid stage but after my 1st fill i had 3.5ccs and i was able to eat alot and almost everything. make sure you wait about 15 mins after the fill and try to drink some water to make sure everything goes down fine. i've notice sometimes you have to wait alot longer like a few hours. hope that helped. good luck tomorrow
