:thumbup:Thank you for the advise I really apprciate it. I love the Tuna idea it worked well for me at work. ..

It will get easier. Its an amazing tool and once you recover you will love it.. Good luck on your journey.

awesome on the loss!!! How was going back to work? I

Yeah I go back next week as well, this my last week of no working

So It was good to go back to work but i miss being home now.. How are you feeling? how did going back to work go for you?

I just had my surgery on 7/15. All is going well. I have to get back to work soon. I own my own shop. Any pointers.

Make sure you measure your food, so you know if your going to need a fill my doctor says at about 6 weeks possibly i dont think i need one though.. but i measure every meal to make sure its not more then a cup. I usually eat less. How are you feeling now?

You have the right attitude to be successful. I have eaten too much so many times before I found this website and have learned so much from other people on here. Sometimes it is like there is a black hole in my stomach and no matter how much I eat it won't fill up so I have to limit myself like you do and that seems to help. You are doing a great job on your eating, keep it up.

Thank you !! I know sometimes eating protein keeps you full longer. I go four hours between each meal and drink in between alot and that keeps me full.

So I went and had sushi and I took one bite with the rice ate the center and threw the rest away now if you really like one roll tell the owner cause i like the spicey crab roll and they said they would serve me a plate of just the filling since its hard for me.. its worth a shot..

My doctors told me to walk an 15 mins an hour if i wasnt sleeping to get the gas from the surgery out.. if you feel in pain in your shoulders or neck the gas is moving walking takes it all away.. Congrats again on your surgery..

Congrats on your weightloss!! I was banded yesterday. Just getting a tad used to it

The first week is up and down and you may feel hungry but stick to the diet they give you its to heal you internally. Dont get discourage if its hard this is life changing and we will go through bumpy roads here and their.. i wish you the best of luck on your weight loss journey and on to a new and healthy life. If you have any questions please feel free to ask me..

Thank you.. So seems like we pretty close surgery dates.. let keep each other update on our success and our hard times to keep each other going...

So my girlfriend and i are both banded we always start with an order of sashmi we love salmon. then we ordered one roll and pick at a little and some times take the top layer off and eat the middle.. my gf can eat the rice no problem however i cant .. for a special occasion i will eat a roll but to be on the lap band plan as they say we should stay away from white rice. my doctors says if i eat pasta or rice just make sure its whole wheat. But for me i love sushi i crave all the time so i talked to my resturant and the said they will give me a plate of just the filling since hard for me so talk to them they make work with you.. Good luck on your journey it will be awesome.
