I dont know why people consider salad a slider food...It keeps me full for hours....but then I only use good lettuce not iceburg i use a lot of different kinds of Beans I add chicken and egg, tomato, carrots, avacado....so for me it's not a slider and i never get stuck on salad...

You just made me hungry....

Awesome!!!

nope no bar I have a mac...

If you eat slow and chew well you shouldnt get stuck..That said I should take my own advice... I usually eat: Breakfast: 1 cup oatmeal with milk and fruit mixed in. Snack: carrot sticks or yogurt or Protein shake Lunch: chicken salad Snack: small bag of baked chips or popcorn or Protein Shake Dinner: 4 oz of meat with either a salad or 1/2 cup steamed veggies and 1/4 cup starch if I'm still hungry Snack: cup of coffee and toast if I'm hungry I have not been able to eat rice, Pasta or soft bread with out getting stuck and throwing up so I would be careful of those if I were you. I eat a lot of fish, shrimp and grilled chicken strips I put on my salad. I have a hard time with baked chicken, have yet to try steak and pork. Oh and eggs are a pain as well so I limit those. I will have a protein shake when I feel hungry but not so much anymore. Good Luck.

uugg gettin frustrated...I dont have a right click on my track pad....

Well this is a lot of work just to insert a pic and it's not working! I keep getting this notice: You are not allowed to use that image extension on this board.

I love dressing but have really been good with moderating my dressing protion 1-2 tablespoons...Dressing goes along way if you just dip.

What Gallery? Who's Gallery? My Gallery? I have a Gallery? Where is the Gallery...There is a Gallery on the top of the page but it shows other peoples stuff...is that what I need to upload too?

Life sucked the first 8 weeks after my surgery. I was hungry all the time, I could eat and eat and eat...but then I got a fill and it was a little better, then I got another fill and it was too much and I suffered for 1 month with getting stuck and throwing up at every meal, so I got an unfill and now I am to the point where I can eat till I'm satisfied...the weight is coming off slowly and that is a little frustrating but the point is it's coming off. I stopped comparing myself to others that were banded around the same time I was and just live for the day.. I plan my meals every day try to drink my Water and walk. Basically it took almost 5 mos to get to the point where I am semi-satisfied with my fill level even though I may need a little put it when I get the extra money.

I just downloaded ad blocker plus but it's not working what am I doing wrong.....

I really want to add pictures to some of my posts but cant seem to figure out how to do it...I know there is a picture tool but it looks like you can only add from web sites not from your computer so how do we do it? It has to be possible I've seen others do it...Please help.

I love salads...I eat 1 or 2 a day but I dont measure them, but i will measure any meat i put on it. So I was wondering if as bandsters we should limit the amount of veggies we have in a salad... I can eat a really large portion of salad I dont get suck on salad that's why I eat it so often.

HEY actually lost .4 oz and am down to 251.6...watch it go back to 253 tomorrow...I gotta throw out my scale...

I do that with cabbage or lettuce it's good...squash works well with too.

I can only go 2-3 hours btwn meals...I think I need a fill. As far as how much I eat well probably to much. I can eat a lot but get full quick, I try to stay with the 3-4 oz Protein and 1/2 cup of veg and 1/4 cup starch if I'm still hungry.

I was overfilled back in Dec and I got some fill removed because I was throwing up and getting stuck during every meal..The doctor took 1.5cc out and I felt instant relief...However these past 2 weeks I have been getting stuck and throwing up a lot again so I decided to change my eating habits, I use baby spoons and forks and smaller plates that way I am not able to eat fast and eat too big of bites and this has really helped. I do notice unfortunatly that I can eat a lot more then the recommended 1 cup so that is a draw back and I have not lost any weight but will yo-yo from 253-252 just cant break through and I think I may need a very small fill to help with that. I dont know if this has answered or even helped your situation but I thought you would like to hear what happen to someone who got an unfill after suffering for a while.

It seems that I'm not the only one with the Yo-Yo effect...I thought that was a thing of the past! Well here's to hoping the string will break soon!

No I went for ZERO exercise to walking everyday for 30-45min...maybe I should walk longer?

I have been yo-yoing for the past 2 mos with the same 1-2lbs...I cant break out of the 250's. I go form 253 to 252 but nothing less then that...I have started walking everyday and have felt my clothes get bigger but no scale action...Please advise
