    Wanted to share a great find -

    i eat chicken at least 4 times a week, so this will be great!!!! thanks
  2. i had my surgery 31/2 months ago, and i get stuck with chicken breast, and at first 1 didn't. i never really bring it back up,but it hurt like hell for about 5 mins. like you i may have had three episodes the whole 3 months. u probably won't be able to eat that meat. i stopped eating chicken breast and started eating wings
  3. i had my 4th fill on mon oct. 31 i am now @ 8cc's it normally takes me a week to tell the difference

    What am I doing wrong?

    I THINK YOUR CALORIE INTAKE IS TOO LOW. I WAS BANDED 7/11/11 AND I EAT 1000-1200 CALORIES A DAY.EVEN THOUGH I HAVE BEEN LOSING OK, I STILL HAVE HUNGER PAINS FROM TIME TO TIME. TODAY WAS MY 4TH FILL I NOW HAVE 8CC'S IN A 14CC BAND. TRUST ME I CAN TELL THE DIFFERENCE... SO TELL YOUR DOCTOR'S ASSISTANT TO GET WITH THE PROGRAM OR REQUEST TO SEE THE ACTUAL DR. HIMSELF. HE WAS PAID OVER $17,000 SO HE NEED TO HIS JOB!!!!

    YOU LOOK GREAT!!!!
  9. hey, guys this is normal... I too almost walked out the day of... but then I remembered who is in control...GOD he got you.. He would have not brought you to it...if he wasn't going to see you through it!!! congrats
  10. my doctor told me to wait 7-10 days
  11. since you don't eat eggs try turkey sausage and bacon
  12. Good Morning, I normally eat a boiled egg, and turkey sausage or turkey bacon. or egg whites and either meat
  13. I agree with the others... Once you see that first 10-15lbs fall off without exercising you just so great until in your mind you want more.. it's hard to explain but it seems like once they banded my stomach, they banded my mind. I felt like if i had to go to the extreme and be put to sleep for 60-90 minutes to lose weight, then i need to do ALL I CAN to make it work.

    Slow weight loss

    I HAD MY SURGERY ON 7/11/11 AND I'VE LOST 27 LBS SINCE SURGERY, BUT 39 FOR THE YEAR...SO I THINK THAT'S ABOUT RIGHT. WE ARE DOING GREAT... AS LONE AS WE ARE NOT GAINING WEIGHT...
  15. IS THE $1,000 YOUR CO-PAY?

    Some people...

    That was one of the reason's i didn't tell a whole lot of people, because they love to put in their little comments...when they really don't know what the hell they are talking about... don't worry about her,and good luck on YOUR journey.
  17. I, TOO HAVE EXPERIENCED THAT SAME ISSUE MY SUGAR HAD DROPPED BELOW 40 ON 2 OCCASIONS..I RECENTLY WENT TO MY ENDOCRINOLOGIST AND SHE TOOK ME OFF THE METFORMIN COMPLETELY. SINCE THEN MY LOWEST READING IS 72 AND MY HIGHEST READING IS 94... IT'S BEEN 3 MONTHS SINCE LAP BAND AND I'M OFF THE DIABETIC MEDICINE THAT I HAD BEEN ON FOR 5 YEARS. GOD IS GOOD
