    Eating out?

    This is mine. I filled out a paper my surgeon gave me and got this card with all of my info.
  2. My dr said no gum or mints. I can only use those breath strips.

    If you haven't seen newtoy4kt, you should! I love her.
  4. When I get the wants, around that time, I'll have a s.f Popsicle... Or a couple. Lol. It helps me.
  5. I put crystal light packet in my yogurt! Sooo good! 10 extra calories and no extra carbs!
  6. Most multivitamins make me vomit!! So I take flinstones vitamins 2x a day (not at the same time and with meals) with no problem. My doctor actually suggested that before I told him I couldn't handle multivitamins.
  7. Curious as to how many of you don't have any fill at all.. I had surgery 3/8/13 and went back to my first fill appointment (4-15) and he said I didn't need one at that time. Which I totally agree with. Everything has been going great. I've lost 36lbs and not hungry. Go back in a month to see him. I've read that some don't need a fill and just the band is enough. Any of you experience that??

    No fill?

    Thanks, ladies!
  10. My dr said absolutely no Greek yogurt with fruit (because the protein/carb ratio isn't favorable), but to put vanilla Splenda in it. If you're like me, the thought of vanilla is blah. Lol. So it hit me.. Crystal light!! It's sooooo good. Searched on google and apparently a lot of others have thought of it too. Just wanted to share for you guys that hadn't heard of it.
  11. I only told a hand full of people. I have a family member that has seemed to tell everyone else. Not happy about it, but can't change what is already done. I just wished people would respect other people's privacy.

    burping?

    I do this weird hiccup/burp combo. It's really attractive. Lol never really got the hiccups before, but now I get a single hiccup/burp a lot throughout the day. It's like the hiccup brings the burp to the surface. lol I've gotten used to it.

    Any Arkansas banders out there!!

    That's awesome!! I did the 2 week preop diet and that plus now I've lost 28lbs. And we should keep in touch!
  14. My doctor said not to use anything with the word laxative. It could cause stomach cramping. I can use stool softeners or suppositories if needed.

    Any Arkansas banders out there!!

    Hey, guys! My name is Joanna. I live about 35 mins from Hot Springs. I was banded on March 8th. Haven't regretted a single moment of it!! My dr is Ron Hekier from Texarkana. I tried Wellborn, but no one from his office would call or email me back. I took that as a sign and I love my dr. Any ways.. I'm excited for all of our future healthy selves!! Yay us for making the best decisions of our lives. Xo
