I was banded August 30 and had my 2 week follow up on Monday. To date I don't have any Fluid in my band and feel like a failure at mealtime because I know I'm eating more than 6 oz before I'm full. Has anyone else had this issue? I can't get my first fill until Oct 9 and in my mind I'm stretching out my pouch already.... HELP

Hi

PLEASE don't feel frustrated. It takes a lot to stretch your pouch.

I have document that may help you with cravings and night time snacking... I've talked about it over the years...but because your new you probably have not seen it. It's called the "Egg Timer Distraction Trick" It's kind of hard to explain here but i'd be happy to email it to you.

Please e-mail me and I'll send you the .pdf file.

In the subject line put Egg Timer Trick.

Also, make sure you take one bite at a time... and finish what you have in your mouth before your take your next bite. I also have CD with lots of lapband recipes and articles that I've complied over the past 6 years... I'd be happy to mail you a copy.

If you would like to chat on the phone to ask questions I have free long distance and would be happy to chat with you.. I have a group of "band-buddies" that a chat with on the phone with on a regular basis both in Canada and the US.

Hi Harleymelm

I haven't received your e-mail yet

tomander@bell.net

It would be my pleasure to send you the CD ... consider it my good deed for the day.

Try e-mailing again and I'll send you the file... also send me your address so I can send you the CD. I just sent a CD to my friend Elaine in Texas (she was also recently banded) and it took just over a week. I'm live in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Tom

I've emailed you again.
