I've had a few episodes of getting stuck. I usually just wait for it to go down about 20 minutes or I go the bathroom. I only go the the bathroom when I know I ate too much and I feel the food in my throat.

Great job!!!

Im getting me one right out of work!! It's too hot today here in Jersey!!!!

I was on the website and there's nothing there about a sf vanilla iced coffee...

I know exactly how you feel !! Im tired of people asking me " so, how much have you lost ?" And there's others that haven't seen me in a while and they are " OMG you lost so much weight " Makes me feel awkward ...

I am dying to try this. But I can't find it here

Sorry my nick is: kflower84

I agree with Cazzy. His responsability not yours.

When I was on mushies I mashed a banana and it was the most disgusting think to look at. I try to eat it but I got nauseous. I've tried mangos and strawberries in smoothies. Now I am able to eat bananas and watermelon that I've tried so far but I choose to stay away from fruit because of the high sugar and carb content.

I just saw my nutricionist last week. She said up to 1200 calories, 70g protein, and to try to keep my carbs between 100-120g. I asked her about low carbs diet and she responded that "the brain needs an average of 100 to 120 g of carbs for optimum function".

@Nadekusibe I sent you a request on myfitnesspal. did u get? can u see me?

I get that pain too. I asked my dr he said gas ...

My nutricionist said not to count coffee in your liquid intake because the caffeine dehydrates you. I continue to have a cup in the morning. I take it with milk and I just dont count it in my fluid intake.

It's pretty normal to feel hunger after your first fill. My surgeon have us do 24hours liquid and 24hours mushy then continue on soft solids.

I have never had anything stronger than tylenol or advil (before band) . So I was afraid of the pain meds. Also, I was told that Percocet or whatever they use can make u nauseus and with my first surgery (gallbladder removal) 3 weeks before the band I was very nauseus and throwing up after the surgery. My surgeon said it was because of the anesthesia. Thank God my band surgery was easier on me.

Does that apply to the UHC Community Plan? My sister has that one but she can't find a surgeon that would take her insurance. Any suggestions in NJ would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much for making this post. I was banded 6 months ago and can't seem to start exercising constantly.. I might walk my treadmill 3 days in a row and then stop for 2 weeks and start again. Im looking for ways to excersice but I can't fit a gym in my budget right know. Still paying for my portion of the surgery. I'll take note on all the suggestions been posted here, thanks

Hello everyone! I would like to know, Is everyone out there eating their 4 oz 3x a day and nothing else? I try, but at the end of the night I gotta have a snack followed by another snack. I eat out of boredom. I have 9 cc's in, should I go for more?

You can't have anything the morning of surgery. You'll probably be able to take them afterwards bucause they are usually very small. I take my allergy pills and tylenol without a problem. I would not take Advil, Motrin or Ibuprophen because those are prohibited after the lap band. "according to my surgeon" Ps: Every surgeon has different rules and views on the subject.

I never got my prescription filled. I don't like taking meds. I took tylenol instead. I didn't seem to need them anyways. I would hurt getting in or out of bed and if I sit for long periods of time so I will get up at the first sign of discomfort. Walk around it will help the healing process. At bed I would use a huge jumbo pillow that I have so I wouldn't be laying flat on it. But that was only for a couple of days. I got tired of laying on my back so I started slleping on my side. You should definetely contact your doctor and let them know how you feel. Hope you feel better soon.

Congratulations ! It's the best decision I've made.
