Restaurant eating, the banded way
HarleyNana replied to vinesqueen's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I eat out at least 4 - 5 times a week, I usually do the bag to go with the left overs. Ironically, I told my doctor, seconds before my last fill, (which he insisted on tweaking), that I had just gotten to a point where I could go to a restaurant and not have to sit next to the restrooms. I even keep one of those insulated bags in my car for the left overs, it does help keep it a safe temperature. -
Sounds too restricted to me too. I'm curious too, please let us know what the problem is.

Six CD's that have been stuck for about a year, LOL. I've been told if I undo the battery on my car it may reset the player and release my CD's. In my house, I have Alabama's Greatest Hits, K.T. Oslin's Super Hits, Vince Gill, Michael Bolton, Merle Haggard, and KT's 80's ladies.

OMG, I've pb'd way tooooo many times, but never out of my nose, poor baby! I've never even thought about food getting stuck in there, oh my. Needless to say, next time I even think I'm gonna pb, I'm not waiting, thanks for sharing your horrible experience with us, yes every detail. Please let us know what the doctor says.

Last night I was at our local Mexican restaurant, sure enough something got stuck, could have been that nacho w/cheese, anyway, off to the restroom I went. All I have to do is bend at the waist and the pressure pushes the stuck object right out, then it's back to the table. I really do try to avoid that feeling though, I can only imagine the damage to my throat and esophagus. Minutes prior to my last fill, I told my doctor I had just gotten to a point where I didn't have to sit by the restroom door in restaurants.

I do believe that "v" piece of material is called a gusset, many, many years ago when I got married, the seamstress had to add a gusset under each arm to increase the bust size.

I have the smaller band and find it very, very sensitive. I was filled to 2cc of 4cc band, after spending 4 months at 1.75, which was probably my sweetest spot so far. I had very few pb's or slimes, since getting filled back up to 2 again, it's been slow go, but the doctor said after 4 months he felt it needed to be "tweaked". My doctor explained it doesn't have anything to do with your amount of weight to lose, but more so about the size of your insides.

Try a sports bra. I didn't have a problem with my bra, but I think a sports bra that has a hooks n eyes would be a bit more comfortable. Then also do the layered look, that would help cover the droop.

I always use a straw when I'm in a restaurant or having a cocktail, (germ freak here, hate putting my lips on restaurant glass), never had any problems....or maybe that's where that pb came from, hummmmm. ( I don't drink with meals though, I get my water to go, with a straw)

Please keep us informed, we care!

HarleyNana replied to DeeJay's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I can drink or eat up until my fill, then I'm given a cup of water to sip and make sure I'm not too tight, the it's liquids for the next 24 hrs. Then back to usual, if I can stand it, LOL. -

I sent Philip, her dh, two Rose of Sharon plants to be planted near the home they were building. Hopefully they have "blossomed". He said he had just the spot picked out. I think of him often too and how much he must miss her, she was such a sweetie.

I thought I was at a plateau too, but I had gained 11 lbs of muscle, so maybe you're losing fat and gaining muscle, which is not a good thing for the scales, but a good thing for the body.

Bless your heart, I do know how you feel, I lost my best friend, my Dad, 5 years ago, I miss him as much today as I did the day he died. Time does help!

I hope and pray we never see another devastating attack such as 9/11. Though we lost so many brave souls, so many were saved by the bravery of others.
