Question- Liquid Diet To Normal Diet
Ric replied to GodsTyro's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I did not gain but I did not lose for a month or so and after fill i began losing -
You have done your research! My decision for band was easy! The Bariatric surgeon in the town I live in does only Lapband and since I have no family here as my children are all grown up and I am divorced I found no other choice to go to Phoenix or San Diego. Good luck with you journey as I am very happy (for the last year) with mine!

Thats what happend to me on Monday! I rarely if ever feel a restriction and when I went in for a fill the barium went down the way it was supposed to my dr saidand that I had lost 17 lb in less than 3 month she said I didnt need a fill!! Regardless I pretty much eat whatever I want except a few things!!

Ate Bread & Still Have So Much Pain...
Ric replied to MonsterGirl's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Regular bread is out of the question for me but I went for a no fill yesterday and a fellow bander told me he can do Flat bread just fine! I havn't tried it jet but will do so this weekend. -
I will even mix Unjury chicken soup flavored protein to lowfat cottage cheese for the extra protein and it tastes good!
