Now I know why people lose weight with this band

That is good to know (about the pita bread) I have heard most people say that they can't do bread, I am glad to know that there is some bread that works! Thanks~

Okay, after reading all of this thread, :ranger: this is the conclusion I have come to --

All bread is ASSUMED guilty until proven innocent.

And timing/spacing of bites is as important if not more important than size of bites and number of chews.

I don't know where she got that idea about milk but it isn't true. I am a big milk drinker and always have been. I have my Protein Shake every morning with 8 oz of skim milk...7 days a week. It does absolutely nothing. I drank milk during my liquid stage as well.

Do you think eating ice cream everyweek-end 1/2 gallon will damage the ban? I do it and nothing happens but slow to no weight loss?

Holy shit that is a lot of ice cream. I am not surprised you are not losing weight. You should be thankful you are not gaining weight.

That was my exact thought! Notice you have been at goal for 13 mths, congrats! I haven't been banded yet, 1st consult is next Wed. Have you kept off the weight thru just food, or are you exercising regularly?

Be Well,

Hi,

I saw that you were banded with Dr. Rumbaut. How did you like that? How was monterey? I was thinking of going with him, but I am really really scared. Can you please tell me how you are enjoying the band? Are you glad you did it? What problems have you had?

It would be great also if you could tell me how much it was to go to Dr. Rumbaut. I think it's about 10,500 or so.

Thanks!!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
