Banded FEB 2010. Had a fill in Jan of last year and was fine until this past Nov. Had reflux night coughing. Couldn't keep anything down I need an bit of an unfill. Some other issues too. I was better as soon as the doc took some out. waiting for a fill next week. Go to your dr asap. Wendy

Woohoo for you!!! Great job keep up the good work

i agree wholeheartdly with horswgirl wendy

large scar

Unfortunately every band is different so there is no set foods. I myself can not eat raw veggies anymore. Fruits are a challenge too. Rice pasta a most breads are not good either. left over chicken and meat are out too. Wendy

walk around , up stairs,. if that doesn't help let it come up or try paypa tablets. They some times work. wendy

good luck. I think they are just looking for the list and verification from your dr wendy

Thank you both. Support is the as you know.

Thanks. I can only do little bit of salad. I have been journaling that's prob why only 2 lbs. I have some chick pea snack recipes i am going to try. I just went shopping and glad to say the cheese puffs stayed at the store with her friends potato chips and corn chips!! Wendy

i dont have a fax machine but you can email me Zinhaa@optonline.net. I did jenny craig ww etc i listed them but didn't have documentation from them and they didnt ask for it. What state are you from I am from ny wendy

So next weekend I will be celebrating my 2nd bandaversiry. I still have 30 lbs to go.I was hoping to be at goal weight not maintaining like my dr says i am. I had some issues recently with my band having it come over the sides. I had reflux, vomiting and nite coughing. They took 2.75 out. All of the symptoms disappeared immediately. I took another ugi last week and band was almost perfect. I went back to the dr and expected a fill and he told me it was a 10 week process, come back in 4 weeks and we will start putting back in. I gained 2 lbs in 6 weeks cause i am eating more cause i am hungry. To top things off i dislocated my shoulder on New years day so no weight training, no trainer just walking and treadmill. IS MY BODY TRYING TO TELL ME SOMETHING?? So the positives are I only gained two pounds. I am still a size 12 lbs. Lost 80lbs So all in all i should be happy. Intellectually i am but emotionally I want those cheese puffs to soothe myself (old habits...). Just feeling sorry for myself. Thanks for reading my bit**ing and moaning. Wendy

I vote for pandora or any of the beads that way you have them as a constant reminder of your milestones. wendy

I have empire BCBS. I was told i needed a history. I was also told i needed to keep a log. The log i made up best i could. My regular doc verified i was trying to lose weight in a letter. He said it was ok because we discussed it at each yearly visit and i went to a nutritionist for a while. Find out if dr will work with you. wendy

nuts and popcorn but no gum

could be etaqing to fast or you found your soft stop wendy

Are you keeping anything down?? I believe if you can't even keep water down you may be too tight. So I would suggest call or see dr to find out what his suggestion is. wendy

i like NB second choice is saucony wendy

Zumba is hard and rewarding. I think you will lose cause it's fun and you keep going back for more. wendy

Good question about lactose. Try a different kind. I couldn't do optifast because of it. Wendy

Were you told by dr to do liquids after fill? I am always told 2 days of liquids then mushies then solids. If it doesn't work call dr for unfill Wendy

Congrats on your bandiversary and welcome back wendy

dark meat is moister for me. I use low fat mayo. I use smaller forks and chew chew chew. then i chew some more. Papaya tablets also help with digestion. Wendy

yes if you mush it wendy
