  1. Sometimes it does. Look for the tells before it does... You will start to burp and the then it will tell you time to stop..
  2. First potato are starch, protein then veg then carb. 1/2 cup is the rite amount. you should not be hungry after that. use trick small plates, and chew chew chew . look up the you-tube video dr Obrien 8 golden rules , it explains the best way to do the lap-band
  3. did the same thing last year, that is so fun. great job. like our lives one step at a time.
  4. you might be eating too fast or not hewing enough.. remember 1 min between bites.. I had a fill 1 month ago and I tried pot roast last night, oh my god it got stuck on second bite, I eat slow and still, put that in memory bank no pot-roast for me ... good luck if that does not work, call you doctors. don't panic it makes it worse.
  5. I watched a video that 2muchfun put on here when I restarted. Dr O'bien 8 golden rules, this gave me the knowledge of how it works and reminded me of all the things I forgot. look it up and watch the video.. you can start over last month also..
  6. Want everyone to know you can restart again if you have a fall. My band was put in 4 years ago and after loosing 80 I put 50 back on slowly. Found new doctor who taught me how this thing works, I am green and loving it. I am as excited as the day I first started. I have list 28 pounds in 28 days. Feel great and new, and not hungry. This site has also kept me motivated, thank you all and we will all be in the green together..
  7. some of us waited 4 years to go back. I did and have lost 22 in less then month.. when you get first week in you will member why it in first place..
  8. I am in your shoes with the weight gain. I lost 80 put back 60 very ashamed. But I learned from new doctor who have me a fill and support group. Happy to say I am down 22 pounds in less then a month. I am proud to say it was knowledge of green zone feeling and support groups that does it . Good luck
  9. You will be fine , don't beat yourself up.. Stay off scale , I go to doctor for that, it's like Christmas every week..
  10. Had same problem two weeks ago , but ate slower drank slower and listened to my band and pushed the food away . Good luck
  11. stay strong you can do this. This is like being on vacation for your body, it maybe 1 to 2 week trip but your body will come back home... then you will have the mind set. Be strong .....
  12. i had a fill last week felt same way lots of gas and water not going down easy... Try relaxing and drink sips no straws . If you are drinking to fast or gulping will do that .. If u still feel pressure call you doctor rite away.. Good luck
  13. Along the same topic.. I went 4 years between fills and was told I had 7c put in , then when I went back to new doctor I was told that 4 cc were in there... Where did the other cc go to ???? I now have 6 cc in there and feeling great and back on track....
  14. I did the same thing to myself... thankfully I found a local doctor and a great staff getting me back on track. I had a fill last week after we found only 4 cc in rather then 7.5 I was told by other doctor when I left him. I have to start my thinking about food all over again. wish me luck. started at350 lost 80 kept most off til married 2 years ago gained back a lot.330 starting again...
