Have you ever tried with raw almonds? Also check out nuts.com

I am on the looser side where my band is concerned and that is what s right for me. I can eat a lot more then I do sometimes but I choose not to. I also measure all my food so I know when to stop.

When do we say we are in a plateau?

I agree but unfortunately some people are just rude .

My advice is stop weighing yourself so much!

I don't take tiny bites. I use a baby spoon but the bites are not tiny. I rarely get stuck and my band is right where it should be. I would track all you eat and make notes by each meal how long it keeps you satisfied. Also make sure you are eating high protein solids. Eating the right food is as important as getting a fill.

Has anybody had this problem. Stomach cramping and decreased appetite. It takes a few but can feel food going through band have severe cramping. Saw internist he gave me Prelasec and med to stop spasms after 1 dose not extremely effective but can take another in 6hrs.

Hey Mis, she went to doctor and that is what he prescribed. She is waiting on her insurance to go to a specialist. Mean while she feels its band related and just wanted to know if anyone else experienced anything like that. You know I would not use a post in place of a doctor. Also remember this is not my post. she was banded in Mexico and does not have a local band doctor.

I think it is a very small like 1 or 2 % that have erosion.

Have you asked your Doctor? I am sorry do not know enough about Graves to answer your question. Hopefully some others will post. Best of luck!!

I chose the band because I did not want my stomach damaged in any way and I wanted the option to have it removed if for any reason it is needed.

Any ideas about stomach?

You should always call your doctor if something is wrong then post.

Sorry can you please explain what that is?

I have been doing really well but it amazes me ever time I figure out something better for my body. Check out nuts.com. I just received my first order. I always have problems finishing breakfast and not getting all my nutrition in. Now I have Greek yogurt with a healthy granola which helps satisfy me and at night instead of eating my cool whip lite with cocoa I have about 1.5 ounces of a healthy trail mix with raw nuts, dried fruits and seeds. I feel like I answered some important question. I now have healthier days. Protein with meats, fish or beans, dairy, veggies, fruits and nuts. Really cutting out the liittle bit of crap I ate.I would have never made such good choices before. Also on nuts.com you can custom make your own mixes.

I have lost 92 with out exercising as well. I recently started and it makes a huge difference ! Start out slow and try to find things you will enjoy. I started with a cardio program on my wii and now I am adding walking to it. I will never be a gym person and that is ok but I know my body needs to move!

You have only just begun. What an awesome start! You have already changed your life!!!

Everyone is told different. I was told to drink before I eat. Stop then wait an hour. I usually wait about 45 minutes.

I mostly do not drink and eat together because often it makes me sick or I get full feeling. Also my doctor says not to.

I have no idea, but it really doesnt matter. Everyone is different.

I so agree. I love eating and cooking. I love having control. Don't be scared be excited! Take it each day at a time. One meal at time and always follow your doctor's guidelines before listening to anyone else!

Awesome!! I think your hubby needs a back slap!!

I dont see any negative comments but if you are going to post in the forum you have to learn to take what you need and just leave the rest behind. Many people on here are not going to sugar coat responses.
