hummus has a lot of protein. smooth peanut butter you can have chicken if you put it in the bullet/blender/ food processor. they also have chicken in a can. i put everything in the magic bullet and made it mushie. Good luck wendy

breast, arm, neck,waist, hips, calf is what i did

I agree with Kathy. When the scale gets stuck and i measure i see how far i have come. I too look in the mirror and dont see the new me. I know my sizes i wear are smaller but the measurements dont lie!! Don't look it like look how big i was but look how far i have come! Good luck wendy

fish hummus lamb just cut it small chew chew chew concentrate on what your eating. one thing i do at all times no matter what part of journey i am on is i ask for a take a way container and take half off my plate immediatly. If anyone asks just say you are trying to to eat less. Or your not very hungry today. Then change subject cause everyone likes to talk about themselves so they will let you change the subject. Stay away from the rice!! HAppy Birthday Have fun Wendy

They would be wrong. I have lapband and am lactose intolerant. I just have soy lactaid milk or the pills. wendy

hernia is all i got. Tell them that the day before or after surgery so they wont have tme to worry. wendy

It is important to practice eating slowly and chewing a lot. Cut your meals into small pieces. Also an important thing to practice is no drinking with meals. My doc says 30 min between drinking and eating then 60 min after eating before drinking. Good luck wendy

I am a slow loser. I was plateaued for many mo. I am not at goal i have 30 lbs to go. With that said it is 10 above the charts that was done in the 1960's!! Wendy

Hi congrats being newly banded. It is true everyone is so different. I didnt get restriction after my first few fills. Each time i was filled was like a first for every food. Your food tolerance will be different so i advice i can give you is chew chew chew, eat slowly and really listen to your body. I myself do not eat rice, pasta or bread. I haven't eaten a sandwich in over 2 yrs. If i choose to eat sushi i can only eat 1 piece with the rice, so i usually remove the rice. Bottom line you may notfeel restriction but be aware the food may change. good luck wendy

Woohoo

Or you could need an unfill. Wendy

2yrs out add me and lean away

go to the chat and you can get a whole lot of info and support wendy

My experience is get some taken out you are to tight. Often we are afraid to do that because we are afraid we will gain. As someone said to tight you don't loose. Good luckWendy

If one thing i learned it is everyone is different. Some days i can get 1/2 a piece of toast. I can get down 3-4 crackers and thats my limit. I love the canned chicken. I suggestion is try it at home first. Good luck Wendy

so i got 2.75 out of my band was crazed. I gained 3 lbs. My doc wouldn't do a fill for 10 weeks. You can do it. It sucks but what I did was journaled everyday and chat on this website. I also made sure to exercise and drink water. I measured all foods. I was very happy only 3 lbs in 10 weeks. Now healed i got 2cc put in and starting again. Good luck Wendy

happened to me call doc for an unfill wendy
