Hey Guys!!



Recommended Posts

Wow! This is exactly what I have been looking for. I'm so tired of talking to women about the band, I have been looking for a group of men to share stuff with. I'm new here just got my band on Aug 12, 2008 and have lost 44lbs. I get my first fill tomorrow and was wondering how it effected you all eating red meat? Have any of you tried eating deer meat? Great to be here, hope to get to meet some of you all.

ive had ground deer meat (sometime between first and second fill), but that and a little bit of tender brisket is the only red meat ive had since my surgery (6/20/08). neither seemed to bother me.

Um, yeah, OK.

I'll have an extra bite of wild boar sausage in your name tonight. :wub:

And remember, vegetables are what food eats. :confused:

I just had my first fill today so I'm looking forward to making a dent in the Deer meat that I still have. Any of you tried Duck or Dove?

I've had dove post band. It was a little dry (fried), so I had to chew really well and eat very slowly. Oh, and try and avoid swallowing any shot, lol.

I was also very impatient. But I will say, looking back I'm glad I had the time it took to get ready for the surgery-I needed the time to really be ready. Keep in mind-you've got the rest of your life-a few months won't make a huge difference. But it is hard to wait.

I'm having my first fill tomorrow, so I'm excited to see if I start to feel some restriction!

I understand what your feeling my company is changing my insurance on 1/1/09 and I'm concerned that the current company will either put me off till after then or if I get started on the road to approval but don't get my surgery till after 1/1 that the new company will start the process over. Ii know it will be a long road but I'd rather get the surgery part over with.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
