Found the samething, love the gym over home. I zone out at gym and it's my place to take care of me. That is one part of my day I use to hate but now I go to unstressed myself and love seeing the results each weigh-in.

He started selling water for a dollar.

And boogied down to the beat ...

I must chime in on this one. I went to Disney last sat., dinner ate Rain Forest , had Kabob , Steak and veggies. I was going to be good, well that didn't end the way I wanted to. I have been stuck before, and have learned finger down food out. well this time I slimmed about 10 times .yes I mean threw up , I could not get it unstuck. this was first time I got nervous. It pasted after 2 hours and I was sore, For you newbies out there, Chew and Chew , also when you get this stuck , go on a liquid diet for 24 hours ,this gives you time to heal. My wife told me I can never have Steak again.

I was very surprised to see them say 1in 1000 people die in the first 30 days? Is that true ? Seems like a lot.so much so that FDA would ban this wsl.

Find another doctor who will help you with your journey. I did and what a change.

Ok I now have a busy Tuesdays, I golf in the afternoon then go to the bowling alley. I have about 45 minutes, between places. This is the hardest thing for me, I don't want to eat dinner at 1030 pm. So as I drive past all these places, my head keeps thinking of this topic, I laugh at all the things posted on here. Last week I stopped at KFC for 2 chicken tenders, big mistake got stuck and you know the rest. This week went hungry and ate salad when I got home.So as much as you all post I still can not do fast food, the thought of pulling into McD, or Burger King , well just not yet. I told the wife one day, but I don't see that happening.

you all suck, I have been driving bye all these places telling myself, these people have lost and have done so well. they would never have fast food. they have all been good patients, they stick to the plan, they would never step foot in those kind of places. So I drive and drive till I get home to grab a cheese stick or peach to hold me over for dinner or grab a Protein shake. LOL this is a lot of fun..

I am going to use that line

I know this has been beat-up and bashed on both sides of the debate. I for one got the band with my own money. doctors love to take cash. Not all want to teach and follow up. which did cause me to gain some back. I learned found good doctor, and l learned a lot from this site. I do read about problems with All the different wls. I read the other day that gastric bypass that has a feeding tube put in, also a sleeve that leaked. yes you hear the band slip. you will hear them all, first it is yours to choose. I don't mind the slow way, I have developed eating routine that helps me loose. i am Happy and isn't that why we are doing this!!!!!!

Great job

great topic I to went for my test and fiber was discussed. please if someone knows answer share.

From My trip on a cruise, I had one lunch of three bites of salad and slimed for 20 minutes, I feel your pain. I now know why I am heavy...I eat too fast

Good Luck you will be fine .

I am glad your back,and you have not given up. Well for me I just got back to the pain in the knees again. That was the reason I did it in first place. I read some post on this site , told me about dr obrien video on youtube. I found new dr who would give me a fill. Learned a lot from nutritionist , then let my band do some of the work. I joined a gym , I go 5 times a week. Started 10 minutes on bike , then 10 on elyptical.now I do 10 bike and 30 elyptical . I work some weights three times a week. The food is easy 80 protein , little to no carbs a day. The only other thing to help you is stay on site, get motivated by reading others stories, you can do it again, the band is a tool, you have to make it work.
