  1. Also, I want to add that I am self pay. My surgeon is in Cincinnati, Ohio and aftercare appointments for fills and such were part of the surgery price.
  2. I would agree that you shouldn't be focusing on price. There are something's you shouldn't want to get cheap. One that always baffled me was discount laser eye surgery. Pretty sure discount surgery of any kind wouldn't be a good idea unless the professionals involved are up to snuff.

    Protien Shakes?

    I'm in love with chocolate Ultimate Muscle Protein. It tastes like cake mix to me. Sometimes I add PB2 to make a chocolate peanut butter shake. My next experiment is adding chi tea flavoring to vanilla to see if I can make vanilla chi protein shake.

  7. I have this fear that rice will puff up and get stuck going through the band. I also don't eat it because of the high carbs. And to be honest I don't really enjoy rice.
  8. Sounds like peanut butter is a trigger food for you. I like to remember that peanut butter is ok in moderation, but sometimes I have to ban it from my life to get control. You could try eatting your dinner and then brushing your teeth to confirm for yourself eating is done for the day. Another option is plan the peanut butter into your day so you don't feel guilty about it. (typed as I gaze upon my peanut butter jar)

    Lapband for my brain!

    I'm right there with you. For some reason I have a huge learning curve. I keep making the same mistakes over and over again. But I'm learning and I'm sure you will too.

    My band is bipolar! Stuck!!!

    I haven't tried it yet, however I've seen pineapple juice as a remedy in other threads.

    Stuck or stretched pouch?

    Also try standing up and walking around. Gravity sometimes helps me in that situation.

    Dear lap-band,

    I still have dreams at night where I drink a nice cold Diet Coke.

    No progress

    Give up the scale or cut it down to once a week. I turned my scale batteries over to my trainer when I found myself weighing 2-3 times a day. A scale is a tool and it doesn't run your life. Just keep tracking what you are eating and your exercise and stop stressing yourself out. Divorcing the scale is a hard process, but mentally worth it.

    Mad at myself.

    Sigh. I know what I'm supposed to eat and not eat. But what did I do this afternoon? Ate a cookie and a brownie/cookie thing someone brought to work. So now I feel like crap and feel guilty. Sigh. Starting over next meal.

    UnJury/Protein Powder

    I'm addicted to Ultimate Muscle Protein (UMP). I swear the chocolate smells and tastes like cake batter. If I want to jazz it up a bit I add 2 tbs of PB2 to make it chocolate peanut butter flavor. I have also had the cookies and cream flavor and its good too.

    First fill... Didnt go to great...

    On my last fill the NP figured out that my port is hard to find when I'm laying down. It's easier to find my port standing up. Hope you don't have to go through that experience again.

  24. I don't have a nick name for mine, but my Dr. played along with my desire to pretend that my band is pink and covered in Coach "C's".
