September Bandsters

I had a very similar thing happen with a cornbread muffin. PBed and Slimed.

When something gets stuck...don't panic....drink some hot Water (hot enough for tea) or hot tea....and it will slide right down! I had a cream of wheat incident...I now eat Gerber Rice with Bananas when I want Cereal. I had part of a meatball get stuck...which was crazy because it feel apart on the fork..so I thought ..okay no problem...yeah right. Also I found that there is a big difference between albacore tuna and chunk light. Chunk light is denser....and wicks liquid like a sponge and becomes even more dense.....even though its has way less fat---albacore is the better choice.

I got my first fill yesterday....omg i felt the restriction as I was walking out of his office (he said I should have felt it as he was injecting the saline. I still feel it as I sit and type. lol and...lost 2 lbs since yesterday..crazy huh?

Well who knew? Muffins, huh. Guess I'll look for Fiber elsewhere!

OK I have this feeling that I should know this but what is PB.. I am assuming when the band is blocked and you have to throw it up..??????? Was I supposed to learn this somewhere or is it lapband slang...

[BJean 16]

Btw, thanks a bunch for the feedback.

As I understand it, PB stands for Productive Burp. But not a productive burp in the standard sense, like a dry belch. More like an up-chuck as my mom used to say.

And if you don't want one of those, stay away from bran muffins.

No change for me:( Better than gaining I guess...

I had a tough week, and actually gained two pounds mid-week, but by the weekend I had dropped two, and then two more by this morning! Yeah! So, that's -2 for the week. I like doing a challenge like this, because I really do think about the Monday weigh-in, which helps me be good over the weekend!

Has anyone heard of the new program by Oprah's Dr. Oz (and Dr. Rozein?) called "You, on a diet"? I'm picking up a copy of the book today. I'm not sure whether it's completely compatible with band-eating, but I like their very healthy approach to eating, so I figure I'll gain a little nutritional knowledge, even if I can't follow the program 100%.
