I heard it also takes your stomach 20 mins to let your brain know you're full, so if you keep eating past the 20 mins, you might be in serious pain from over fill. Someone correct me if this is not true.

Love your silly success stories! This is a good one. Keep them coming! Picturing you with your nose to the steering wheel and your short little legs dangling over the seat is priceless.

You & business partner in my thoughts & prayers! Any joking, stand up for yourself. Tell them if they can't support you, please keep your comments to themselves. You are trying to improve your health. I truly hope your partner makes a full recovery! Keep us posted on your success!

Welcome to the board! WOW, getting in 65 grs of protein the day after surgery is impressive. Glad you're feeling well! Post often so we can get to know you. Best wishes on your new journey!

Just remember you are doing this for you, no one else. If the ppl in your real world doesn't support you, it doesn't matter. This is your time!!!! I know you do a lot for others, now it's time to take care of you! Woohoo, we're going to rock it! I'm so excited, I just can't hide it........

I not only wish you luck, but also a lot of prayers! This is your time BB, you are going to do great! Just think, the big 50 you will be a new BB! I'm still so happy for you! We will be here for you every step of the way! Luv you!

Hey Florida, I think you're on the wrong thread. Put that wine glass down.LOL Happy Thanksgiving!

When I stitch pops threw it is like a little pin, it kept snagging my clothes. Staples are on the outside. I had them with my hysterectomy. Looks like a zipper!

Had 3oz of Prime Rib, mash potatoes & stuffing on a dessert plate. I didn't miss not having dessert and I didn't get stuck. It was a good day! Leading up to Thanksgiving is was, awww I'm not going to be able to eat like before, but after my dinner it was, alright I am totally satisfied and everything was good. What a difference a band makes!lol

Hey Alex, This sounds great! The only thing I wish I could do on MFP is set my own nutritional goals as far as protein,carbs, fats & fiber. Right now mine is saying a goal of 45grs of protein, when I'm suppose to be getting 60grs. Also a recipe builder, like ww's has would be nice. Thanks for all you do to make us successful!

What Floridays said! I just wanted to tell you how proud I am of you! You're working hard before you even get your band is going to make it easier afterwards. Great job!!!

Not staples hon, stitches. I had that on 3 out of 5 incisions and they finally healed. If it really bothers you, you can give Dr. a call. Good luck!

All of the above! Better know as "Bandster's Hell". It can take quite a few fills to finally be in the green zone. Hope this helps.

OH MY GOSH! STOP! Please if ppl do not like a post someone has made move past that post and ignore it. Calling someone out by name is rude & judgmental! CG was so concerned that she bother to post and she knew if it was her she would be taking herself to the ER, pronto! Sorry if YOU thought it was non supportive, but this was CG's opinion and she is entitled to it. Truthfully, I'm getting tired of ppl attacking the Lapband pro's for their honest opinions! Best wishes on your LB journey! I'm gone!

Thanks for the inspirational talk coach! Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving! Small bites, chew,chew chew lol

That's great, congratulations!

****, why did I read this at 10pm. You do this to me all the time! If it isn't you ,it's Banjo. Now I have We are family,he ain't heavy, I got all my brothers & sisters with ,he's my brother. You guys lucky I love you soooo much!

I did 3 days clear liquid and 30 days full liquid. The time will go by quickly. Try to keep yourself busy doing other things so you won't be thinking about food.

Congratulations having a date! The "excited, terrified" feelings are quite normal. Just focus on the prize. You are doing great losing weight before your surgery and it will help in the long run.Just try picking your healthiest options, eat slow, begin drinking a lot of water and you might want to try some Protein Shakes and see what ones you like . I got a mixer bottle from Walmart and used EAS Whey Protein Chocolate flavor and it mixes really well with water. Pure Protein has ready to drink containers. Just a thought. Best wishes on your journey!

Fill your plate sweetie, just make sure it's a baby plate.

Wonderful post Lee! Did you ever think you'd hear a Dr say "eat more"? LOL Keep up the good work and enjoy your Thanksgiving the healthy way!

I need a computer with brains.
