Hi All, I'm from Orange Park, just outside of Jacksonville. I was banded 4.26.12 and have lost 40lbs already. I was so happy to weigh myself last week and see 199lbs. I haven't seen that in 8 years. My dr gave me a fill last week and wow for the first time I fill "tight". What is everyone averaging a day in cal/ carb intake? My doc. Has me on a no starch no sugar diet. This has me going crazy. I'm a little confused how fruits can be bad for me. He explains a sugar is a sugar and it's not good for me. All I eat is Protein, veggies and my shakes. What is everyone else doing? Glad to find some Florida banders here... Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk

Must say I was lucky. Pinnar did my SX in April and I've seen Cwyves for the last 2 visits. Sorry that you all are going through this. My friend was suppose to have the SX this week and they canceled on her 1 week before. Crazy Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk

Wow...I had my SX with Pinnar and didn't have any prbs. What he heck happened? They were also nice... Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk

I was so frustrated the other day when it took 2hrs to be seen and then to find out Dr Pinnar is no longer in the practice..I wonder what happened to him. Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk

Had an appt today for my 2nd Finland the dr said I didn't need one. I lost 3lbs in 2 weeks so he said that was really good. I only have to work on is staying away from carbs and starches... Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk

I had my SX on the 26th and just started Mushie foods....what should I eat? I'm afraid to eat things like oatmeal, or mash potatoes because it's a carb. What is everyone else eating? Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk

I felt the same way today. I was weighing myself twice a day and gain 2lbs this morning. Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk

Hi, I'm in Orange Park. Nice to see someone from our area here. I had my SX on 4/26. Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk

Thanks everyone. I eat oatmeal yesterday and made a potatoe with tuna for dinner. I guess when the dr said Mushie food, I was only thinking about purée, but Mushie could also mean soft. I made mash potatoe with ground beef yesterday and then blended it....but cold not eat it. It looked so nasty. Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk

Thanks for the input. Was it hard to eat the eggs? Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk

Thanks everyone for the feedback. Work was difficult because I seat behind a desk all day and I still have trouble sleeping...grrr...but it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I'm glad no one asked why I was out for 2 days last week. Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk
