The following is what my RD told me. 3oz. Protein...lean 1/2 cup vegetable 1/4 cup carb vegetable If you are able too eat eggs then a boiled egg is a common breakfast item. Remember to eat 5 times a day....your 3meals and 2 Snacks. Beast of luck.

Broccoli and cauliflower have been 2 of the worst for me about getting stuck. I suggest really making the broccoli tiny and smaller bites. I also sip a little water to aid in rinsing the tiny balls down.

It is very common that our gallbladders have to be removed after banding. Mine had to be removed this past February. As far as surgeon messing up ur band I would suggest going to a GI Dr. Who does the gastric surgeries because they are use to dealing with the band's. Best of luck.

I made these after seeing your post. They were really good and my husband said it was a keeper.

Maybe the chicken was too dry or you didn't chew enough. What you are experiencing is normal for a stuck episode, and I have had the episode last 2-3 hours as well. The only thing that I noticed was my Dr. Had me on liquids 2 days after my fill, as well as 2 days for each stage that follows.

I have a band, and in Feb. I had my gallbladder removed. While he was in there he did a plication/imbrication also since my lb has not been as successful as he or I wanted.

Just start out walking. Set little goals for yourself such as walking a block for 2 days then increase to 2 blocks and so fourth.

The hair loss is coming and you are batteling 2 things..... 1) lack of or decrease of Protein. 2) anethesia they use has hairloss as one of its side effects. You will notice the hair loss around the 3-5 month post-op. Mine was 3 months.

I just posted the same thing on another post. It's the little things that are our great moments.

LOL...I was so excited when I could cross my legs.

My Dr and RD have always suggested that most proteins come from food, and most of mine do with the exception of breakfast as I cannot eat eggs which is a great source of protein. Prior to my surgery I was a frappachino-holoic and found that I LOVED the believe cappuccino (bariatric eating site). They are a bit pricey as well as the s&h, but they helped me get over my frapp addiction and it was a taste I got use to. Best of luck to you.

More than likely the hairloss is due to 2 things. The anethesia that is typically used has as its side effect.....hairloss. the second reason has to do with protein. I agree with the other posters that Hilton will be helpful.

Thank you all for the help and ideas. I should have thought of these myself, but i have just been so frustrated.
