I have trouble w/larger pills. Taking them w/hot liquid ( coffee? ) helps. U may have to split them. I'm told it doesn't bother everyone. You'll just have to wait & see. The up side? I take far less meds now than I did. (8>).

How do you get enough fiber?
dits4golf replied to Rainydayz's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Try blending a fiber supplement with your Protein Drink. Kill 2 birds w/1 stone. That's my b'fast. -

Hmm...can somebody verify something for me?
dits4golf replied to Freddy Henin's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
"She" doesn't know what "she's" talking about. Sounds like "she" needs psych eval more than you. I've had my band 1 1/2 yrs. Have eaten sugars & have overeaten. Only consequence of overeating is severe heart burn. -
Lap Band vs Realize Band
dits4golf replied to LissaD's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Good question. I have Lap & very happy. I picked it only because it has been around longer. -
What Does Burping Mean For You?
dits4golf replied to cantdecide's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Happens to me when I eat to fast, don't chew properly, and/or after I've been 'unstuck.' -
Help!! I am stuck and cannot get unstuck
dits4golf replied to Want To Be Thin's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Liquids probably wouldn't hurt for a day or two. I had a bad episode last night with pork & have to go easy today. Just do what your body tells you to do. We're all quite different. -

This works for me. -
Just sharing a video with you made by my surgeon, Tiffany Jesse, St. Pete., Fla. Her caring ways make this venture quite easy. Enjoy.

Had to Buy New Jeans :)
dits4golf replied to mattie7632's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You may consider supporting your local Goodwill, etc. by purchasing clothing there until the time u r at your goal size/weight. You'll be surprised how much $$ u can save & with quality. No one has to know but you. -
hamburgers, I want one bad!
dits4golf replied to dramastarr's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I order mine w/no bun. Or, get w/bun & discard bun. Can't order any more done than med, else IT WILL GET STUCK !! Either case, take very small bites & chew 'til mush. I even get mine with mushrooms, cheese, tomatoe. Hi Protein, good rufuge, and best of all, satisfies craving. "Creativity is the spice of life." Author: me. LoL..... -
Doc sais no fill if loosing weight...
dits4golf replied to KOKIE's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
What I mean is: let the 'band' do its job. I bet if you eat too much, or too fast, you'll know it. If not and u gain a few #s, then the Dr. will give you a fill. Don't be too hard on yourself. -

dits4golf replied to KOKIE's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Why not eat what u want to see what happens? I bet you'll be happier & surprised. -
Be patient. The slower it comes off, the easier to keep it off.

Hiding the Lap Band from friends at meals
dits4golf replied to momnear40's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Let the whole world know how proud you are to take control of your destiny. You will be surprised at how many people admire those of us who care about our health and what we look like. After loosing 80#, I still thump my chest when I hear "man, do you look great." -

U R very welcome. Hang in there. It's worth it. Dan -
What does sliming mean/feel like and other FAQ's
dits4golf replied to Alison I's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You asked for this. LoL.... Anyway, you'll get a sensation that flem is building up in your throat. If you try to swallow, it seems to 'grow.' You'll get to the point of nausea. At which time it's time to head for the 'John' & let it fly. After that, you can resume eating probably without further incident. Graphic enough? I've reached a point when I can sense it's happening, at which time I just excuse my self & head for the 'John.' Most often it will subside just by getting up & walking. Medically speaking, I've been told that the 'slime' build up is your body's way of trying to get the 'stuck' food past the band. Hope this helps. Dan -
We sure will be looking for what procedure u had done to correct problem. Any idea what caused it? Dan

You'll know it when/if it happens. To bring it on, eat fast, don't chew. If u don't 'slime', something's wrong. LoL.... -
Need food ideas to get back on track
dits4golf replied to thunderstorm816's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
3 things u should eat more than others: Salad; salad; and salad. Only, of course, if it will not get 'stuck.' -
I think that's very common.

How many surgeons did you visit before you were banded?
dits4golf replied to JinTx's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Only 2 in Fla. Medicare qualified & 1 of them had John Daly as her patient. After seeing his success, there was no questions. I made the right decision.
