    1/2 A Cup? Really?

    Since my 1st fill 1/2 can be to much. I eat until band says no. Thank god I have good restriction. Now. Also luckily I don't get hungery for about an hour after eating now. I feel very lucky to have such good restriction on my first fill of 2 cc in 10 cc band.

    Dont Get A Lapband

    I'm so sorry you are having such a hard time with the band. It is a risk we all are told about. Everyone does need to knw and truly understand the risks. The most important part of your store to me is one do not go to that DR. And two no matter what dr you go to if your not being listened to or not getting good results consult another dr. Three always research dr before letting them work on you. I knw this doesn't help you rossy but you may help others to truly understand risk. I to hummingbird would be rebranded if possible.

    Did You Do A "last Meal"?

    I did a last week Haaa I made sure I ate anything I wanted 2 weeks pre op. then started prevop diet not really over doing just eating things I might not be able to eat as easy. Not recommending but that's what I did. Funny I can now eat most of those things now buy either don't want or eat less of it now. Love my band
  7. One more mix in with eggs scramble them. Very good high protein.
  8. I don't really look at them as neg.s. just peoPle posting their pit falls/stumbling blk.s. looking for support A little positive feed back. Everyone needs someone to say you'll get through this from someone that can say I was there.

    Hair Loss ):

    My dr said hair loss in any situation is poor nutrition you are getting enough vits. And Protein. My dr expects me to have protein around 70-80 a day and take mult vits every day. We are losing wt with decreased cals so also decrease vits. There is no reason to loose hair unless you aren't keeping nutrition levels up I use my fitness pal to follow not only cals I eat a day but my nutrition. So I can keep it balanced
  10. People that haven't researched this always think its easy. They don't knw about fills , the difference between lb and the surgerys for wt loss. And most friends either are jealous and want the surgery, are ignorant to lb or they are afraid that you will change and they will loose you
  11. I add the plain to soups, cheese sauce as a topping on anything you might put sour cream on its lower cal and higher protein. I use it a lot in liquid and Soft stages to increase protein. A little in broth ( my dr approved before check with yours). During the clear liquid stage ; added a lot of flavor and protein.

    Band Size Vs. Fills And Fullness

    I just got my first fill. I had good restriction until a weekago. So glad I gOt my fill.now before I gained a lot. As you drop wt. you may need fill. Being hungery in a short time after eating sounds like you are getting close to needing a fill. Im just going by my experience but that's where I was 2 wks ago. You could be different. I have heard of people never getting fills but. Most do.

  14. I still burp some. Mostly when I eat to much. Hope the pain passes soon. Mine was gone in a couple of days. Welcome!
