    Can someone help me understand

    Before my first fill, and even now, I track my food on Livestrong.com's The Daily Plate function. I set a calorie goal to lose 2lbs a week, and I try hard to stick to it. I eat when I feel hungry, and stop when I'm full....definitely making smarter choices than pre-surgery. No soda, no fried foods, no alcohol...and try to walk as exercise every day. Just take care of yourself, listen to your body, and try to eat balanced, with all your Protein, sneak some veggies in, try to avoid the bad carbs, and all your Fluid.
  5. Hey Lori - I was banded on Dec 6th, 30lbs down so far. My surgeon was Dr Wynn at CHRIAS. Good luck!

  6. Hi,

    I live in De. also in Camden. My surgeon was Dr. Brebbia, who did your surgery? How are you doing?

  7. Down 25 lbs wow, I sometimes have "port pain" especially at work, uncomfortable where my work pants hit high..

  8. My band was tight today for some reason, I swear it's so odd that 3 days ago I could tolerate chicken fingers, and today, they are stuck. Banded Dec 6, 2010, first fill was Jan 6th. Today, 1/2 c of Egg Beaters mushed w one piece of Scrapple - breakfast lunch: 2 McDonalds Chicken Selects (awful stuck). I also dont think I chewed carefully enough, because I was driving and not paying attention. dinner: 1 cup of green beans, with a few tablespoons of hummus.
  9. McDonalds Chicken Selects = very bad idea. Stuck on first bite.

  10. I have a question. Do any of you know why I am HUNGRY?? (lol)
  11. 1st fill today, I'm nervous

  12. Hi, where are you in Delaware? Im just south of Dover.

  13. Hey there, yes, I have 5 horses, and I miss riding! I've ridden about 3-4 times since I got my band a month ago. Trotting for too long aches and pulls a little. Walking is fine. I know we werent supposed to do activity for a month, but I missed riding so much! What kind of riding do you do? I just mainly trail ride.

  14. Hey Equus I ride as well and am preparing for a banding. Have you ridden post banding? I would love to hear about your experience so far. Thanks!
