Joel amazing job!! I was banded on 10/07/11 but i am no where close to you my starting weight was 232. Now im 210. For ur protein shakes since u only count the cals of the protein im assuming u r mixing it with water?? How does that taste?? Im looking for a new protein. Thanks

I know journaling is very important so that I know what I am eating and when and how much I have been using caloriecount on my phone but I am not always faithful. I was thinking about going to the basic old fashion writing it down but then i would have to carry my note pad with me every where I go... So what type of journaling do you all use. Whats the pros and cons. any ideas to help would be great. TIA

Awesome job!!!

I think all restaurants should have to have the cal.s listed next to each item. They have started that in NY i saw when i visited. It really made me think twice about what i was ordering.

Katie congrats on a job well done. You look amazing! What a beautiful job your dr did enjoy the results

I had a very vauge note written for me. I was out for 2weeks. On a side note to your boyfriend next time he should just get an American Express gift card an then you can use it anywhere. My husband had to learn too

Thanks for the ideas everyone

I know where you are coming from. I havent told alot of people either, how ever when they compliment me i just try to say thank you but then they go on with how are you doing it and so on. I dont want to tell them about my WLS so i have been saying "watching what I eat" which is the truth technically right? but yes i do feel like i am telling a white lie.

I was banded in 10/2011 been doing well slow weight loss but steady . Now my pcp has me checking my sugar daily an says im hypoglycemic. I had a few occurences where my bs dropped an she thinks its because of the band she says its malabsorbtion sp? But i thought with the band there really was no problem like that only with the bypass. Any ideas im totally confused. Oh an my pcp wasnt very happy with my decision of the band in the first place and now is saying well i hope its not going to give me other complications too!!! I did the band so i wouldnt have sugar problems an such yugh!!! Thanks all

Yup i love pizza unfortunately i cannot have it anymore. I did the 3X an ur out try. I have been banded 4 months an still cannot eat it anyway shape or form

Health always comes first!! My thoughts an prayers are with you.

@ tigereyes im so sorry to hear ur situation i hope they can get you in sooner! Kim i totally understand where u r coming from. I was banded in oct an i am still stuck at a loss of only 20lbs. I go in for my fourth fill today an i hope to get where u are. Congrats

So after being how long should i wait to eat again. Im not stuck and more but still feel the pressure inside. Thanks

Hi I understand how u feel. I had WLS back on Oct 07 2011 i have 4cc in my 10cc band and have virtually no restriction. Unfortunately from what i read its just time an fills that will give restriction. It can take up to 4 weeks to feel a fill. So hopefully in time. But try to stay positive this will pay off

Gum yes no probs peanuts yes chew well. Popcorn!! I LOVE its unfortunately its a slider for me. So i stay away from it because i can eat a million calories worth. Everyone is different

Everyone is different an so is their surgeon. I do what MY surgeon said to do that way if there is ever a problem an he asks i can say yes i was following instructions

I had my 3rd fill 3 weeks ago an i thought it hadnt worked but the past two days i havent really been hungry an when i do eat its only a few bites an then im full i hope its the fill an not me getting sick.

Left side makes me think it could be gas. Try walking as much as u can to get it moving around. I hope u feel better. Congrats!

The green zone. I was banded in oct 2011 and have a total fill of 4 cc in my 10cc band and im still in the yellow zone. I have only lost 20 pounds in the past 4 months. Id really like to see what this thing can do.

No way!!!

Popcorn is DEF a slider for me. An i love it so i have to be strict with myself. I havent had nuts yet will have to try.
