Don't beat yourself up, nobody is perfect. You made a mistake, its over so keep going on your pre op diet. You will be fine as long as you stick to the diet from now on. You can do this! Good luck on your surgery and a speedy recovery. Keep us posted.

Call your doctor. Acid reflex at night and throwing up are signs that your band is too tight.

Congrats on the nsv! Changing clothing sizes is the best!!!!!

The bandster lifestyle? 3 meals a day, no more than 1 cup per meal, 3-4 ozs of Protein, 1/4 cup veggie, 1/4 cup carb, small bites, chew till mush, eat slow, don't drink during meals and exercise. That is the basic rules, now it will very with different doctors. For me, it has become second nature in a lot of ways. I don't think about food or obsess over the next meal. I eat to fuel my body, food does not control me anymore. This is possible because I got this great tool, my band, to help me change. I had to work hard to get where I'm at and I will continue to work hard to get to my goal and to maintain my goal. The band saved my life.

And those two b****** kept all the evil far far sway from the pretty pink princess......barf!

Who let the dogs out? Woof, woof!!!

T&P to you Joy! Keep us posted.

I eat 1200 calories, low carb diet. I've lost 65lbs since Feb, so thats about 7 pounds a month. I am 25lbs from my goal weight......so my weight loss has slowed way down. As everyone has said it varies from person to person. Focus on a health diet, exercise and you will see results. Good luck on your journey.

I eat sandwiches and wraps by taking bites, however I had to learn how to take small bites. The safer approach would be cutting the bites up on the plate first. You are going to find alot of different answers including bandsters who don't/can't eat bread.

I agree with everyone here. If you live the banded lifestyle then you should succeed. Yes, there are cases of problems that are no fault of the patient but the percentage is very low. The biggist challenge is committing to change. It is not easy nor is it the quick fix that some believe. It takes a hell of alot of discipline and wantpower, but it is so very worth it.

I know when to keep quite. Momma didn't raise no fool.

Welcome Ben. Good luck on your journey. PS watch out for the crazy two (CG & Mad). They will have you in stitched laughing so hard.

Hello Morgan and welcome. LBT is full of wonderful friends. We give each other support, suggestions, love and the occational kick in the butt (when needed, lol). Good luck tomorrow with surgery, keep us posted.

Everything is different. I have changed mh eating lifestyle. I don't consider this a diet, it's for life. I will eat this way for the rest of my life and I love it. I physically look better, I'm more active than I've ever been, my self confidence is up and I like myself again. I love my band!

Nope, no support for you. S*** out of luck.

Everyone loves a cute puppy, sick or not.

Takes one to know one.

911!!! 911!!!!!

What did I do? I am soooooo innocent!

CG have you noticed..... 6 days to go and each day she gets more feisty?

You two can quit fighting, we all know who the sexy one is.... ME!!!

Agree with Missy, 1-2 pounds a week. Good luck to you. If you have any other questions ask away. We are here to support you in your new journey.
