I haven't had any fun in YEARS!!!! :confused:

I freeze the gogurts for my DD... they are pretty good.

How exciting !!!!!! Yahooooie :confused:

If your having problems with mushie food than you really should talk to your doctor about a slight unfill. You might only have to have a teeny amount removed. Please call your doctor and be careful not to hurt yourself. Hugs !!!

YOU GO GIRL !! Your doing wonderful I just called for another fill myself, April 7th here I come ..... don't want to waste any more time ya know. HUGS !!!

Karen did this just start? I see by your stats that you are doing really well.

Tracy so sorry you had your band removed. Please let us know what your doctor says. Hugs !!

Every doctors preop diet is different. I didn't have a preop diet, my doc said eat, so I did. We went to Charlie Browns Steakhouse the night before surgery and boy did I pig out lol. The only thing was, I had to stop 12 midnight (the night b/4 surgery). I honestly don't think you've messed it up but we should all try to stick with what ever your doc says.

I'm out almost 5 months and I still get PF..... oy.

Sounds good.....race ya there

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SARAH !! :happybday: :happybday: :happybday: :happybday: :happybday: :happybday:

Dawn, thanks for the help, I'm gonna have to check them out. I like something I can grab on the go. I get my Protein powder/drink ( Designer Protein whey ) at Trader Joe's and its only 90 calories for one scoop, total carbs = 2, and 18 gms of protein. My friend gets a brand I believe from walmart thats already mixed in a can and its about 100 calories, I'll have to ask her the name.

I was never really a fast food junkie, but what I do miss is eating 2 plates of food, going back for that second helping. Going out to eat with DH and looking at all that food on my plate and realizing that I won't be able to eat it all kinda gets me depressed. I'm getting better at accepting this, especially when the scale is moving down but when its not, its really hard.

Cool list !! Thanks

I find Protein bars are just to many calories for me to even try. Does anyone know of a bar thats about 150 calories but its gotta have a decent amount of protein in it.

Just taking another peek..... eeeeeeeeew.

45% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category. HAAAAAAA !!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAT !! LOVE YOU :happybday2: :happybday2: :happybday2: :happybday2: :happybday2: :happybday2: :happybday2: :happybday2: :happybday2: :happybday2: :happybday2:

No Sonic here..... THANK YOU !!! just everything else in the world and yes, I have sinned too

I've had food stuck and let me just say that ain't no picnic but the worst and most stupidest thing was I had my first PB on a piece of chocolate that I didn't chew well...yes folks, chocolate. You'd think chocolate would melt... uhhh nope! Thats when I got the golf ball feeling with the slimes (thats when you feel it starting or trying to work its way up)... gross, yep!

Xann, I didn't have any restriction at all until what, two weeks ago when my doc filled me to 1.5 cc. I'm thinking of going in this coming week for some more. I can still eat alot. Don't beat yourself up b/c your not at the proper restriction level, trust me. I didn't get my first fill until after 4 months after surgery WTF!!! I have to keep reminding myself to be patient with this, it will happen. I don't think you wasted your money.... you'll see. Hang in there. HUGS !!!

My doc suggests a low carb high Protein diet, he's mentioned atkins a few times (been there, done that, ain't going there again lol). I try to eat veggies & protein first and then a few bites of carbs.

Aww he's adorable, enjoy !!!

My second fill of .5 cc (total 1.5cc) is starting to kick in. Had food stuck 2x and my first PB last night on a stinkin but delicious piece of chocolate... yes, chocolate of all things. The point of this post is to say that for those of you who are waiting for a fill...... hang in there, they really do make a big difference. I went from 1 cc and being able to eat EVERYTHING and as much as I want (not having to chew either) to 1.5 cc and getting food stuck. TOM is on the way and that always makes me tighter and I know it might not last but I'm really happy that I am feeling restriction after 5 months of being banded. Hang in there folks !!!

Kathy maybe you just ate to fast. Sucks don't it. I got food stuck 2 times before I had the chocolate PB.... I"m such a doomkauf (sp?) LOL CHOCOLATE of all things.... how anal is that. Sorry it happened to you while you were out. I tell my DH and my friend that if I ever look like a deer with headlights shining in my eyes, not to freak out, its only me in pain ROFLMFAO!!! I have learned that if i get that pain / stuck feeling, I take some really deep breaths and some times it helps the food pass.
