Looking for some dinner ideas. Something for the whole family. Simple, quick, something the husband will like and the kids too.

I eat egg whites with ff cheese every morning. I'm boring.

Also I never lose, sometimes even gain a pound or two during that time if the month, then have a good drop the following week. So look at your progress over time.

I was at about 25 down @ 3 Weeks then gained 3 to 4. And stayed the same for 3 more Weeks. Eventually I got fills and it kicked into high gear, i'm down 45 pounds in less than 5 months. Its actually easier now. Just stick with it. Do your best. Try to drink Water. Dont eat totally crazy or terrible foods. Just do your best, keep up with fills and it will come. Trust me I had some bad days because I was so upset when the scale didn't move, but I stuck with it the best i.could and it eventually happened. Good luck, you actually sound just right about normal..

As soon as you are off pain meds.

Have you had any fills?

I dont see why not, but it might have allot of fat, salt, so I would limit it

Wow! You look great.

How did u sell it. I have a brand new one I never used

Make sure you do ur pre op diet prefect so ur liver shrinks, or else they might not be able to do ur surgery. I just saw a post about that on here. Then follow the rules so u dont hurt ur self and star t off right. U will do great! Just read though the posts on here and start learning

What are some keys to success? Give us ur best advice. I was banded 4.22.13....down 45 pounds, damn its hard.

Hello, I had my surgery 4-22-13. Things have been ok for the most part. Lost 45 lbs so far. I don't feel much restriction. ANYWAY, the reason for this post is because since about 4pm yesterday I have had a pain under my breasts, both of them, like across my mid part about my "belly" level with my sternum.. It kinda feels like gas pains. I took gasx, I then took a Percocet. Not sure which one helped, but it went away. I went to sleep, woke up ok, but it started about 10, I took another Percocet and it is back now. I don't want to keep taking medication if something is going on. Do you think it could be a slip or gallbladder? Or maybe gas, but I have to say, I didn't have any gas problems, not really even after surgery.

I believe my Dr said at least a year. At the very least. You need to wait a bit. I have 2, trust me it is easier after u lose weight. So don't worry about time, let ur band work first

I took 2 Weeks, I needed it. I'm am attorney
