My surgen told us in the seminar that we get a card like that but I have yet to receive it...hmmm

I didnt eat Thanksgiving dinner (working) but I had breakfast at IHOP this morning...yeesh!!! lol

Me to. I have gotten food stuck 3 days in a row now because I cant seem to slow down my chewing and eating. Its just such a habit for me and I just forget....Its a whole new life and we just gotta start over and learn things from scratch....

I am all about jeans and tshirts too but as soon as I lose enough weight I for sure am going shopping for some "cool" clothes lol

I had my surgery with hernia repair on Oct 19th. On October 20th I went shopping! lol Its not to bad

It happend again last night. I think its getting stuck but there is stil enough of an opening right now to get it to go down. I have my first fill coming up next week. I will bring this up to my dr. and see what she thinks

Congrats to you! I hope to one day find myself looking at the scale and thinking that same thing!

I think I can still eat way more than they say I should be able too. However its not nearly as much as I used to be able to eat before. I cant wait to see what my surgen says. Maybe she will give me a small fill

I have my first fill appt on Dec 1st but I am not quite sure if I need it. I have been eating smaller portions of food and getting full. I then can go hours without needing to eat again. I dont think about food or crave it during the day. Let me know what your thoughts are! Thank you in advance!

I would think its better to lose 1-2 pounds a week. Otherwise you run the risk losing muscle and loose skin....eewwwww lol

Thank you! I will ask my doctor what she thinks, but I am kind of thinking that right at this moment I may not need one. However I probably can still eat more than they say I should be able to which is only supposed to be like 3 or 4 ounces of food.

WOW....you know what I did. I am so tired of my co-workers asking me every day if I have lost weight. (i mean I dont weigh in everyday hello?) They are all very overweight as well. One day my co-worker went and bought mcdonalds. When she started eating it I looked at her and smiled and said....WOW you wanna know how many calories are in that? I figure if they wanna watch what I eat and ask about it maybe I should do the same I probably should not have done this but I was frustrated. She just laughed, I guess she was hungry and didnt care lol I agree more with Corrigan though. Just tell them you had personal reasons for doing this.

myfitnesspal.com! Easy to use

I ate lots of low fat cottage cheese! Its yummy and fills you up! By the way I really dont know why I have this stupid line through my words...GRRR lol

Im in the same boat! I hate so much going to plus size shops anymore. Why do they insist that plus size ladies cannot dress cute. I either have to get some big ugly sweater or a t-shirt with Tweety bird on it...I mean really??

YAY! Congrats!!

GREAT! something to look forward too lol. Seriously though why is eating fast such a hard habit to break???

lol....well it wasnt that painful so im guessing I wasnt stuck! Maybe just a little indigestion. It wasnt a pleasent feeling but not painful. more uncomfortable than anything

hmmm it sounds like you did it right? There are two codes usually. Did you try both??

YAY! this is awesome! Congrats!!

WOW...i have aetna and didnt need to do any of that. I had a 4 month supervised diet in which I ended up gaining weight. I was approved the first time. I am so glad they approved you finally!!!! YAY!!!

I was on nexium for one month after surgery. I just got off of it a few days ago and I was scared of how I would feel. I honestly feel no changes at all

C-Sections are much worse. I recovered from my c-section in about a week as well. After lap band I was out shopping the next day!
