  1. OJ has a lot of sugar so we use orange crystal light and the vanilla protien power (EAS)and sometimes carb smart vanilla ice cream (Bryers) it is great.

    Bladder retention

    Has anyone, men in particular, suffered with bladder retention since lap band surgery? I am at goal (180 pounds from 305) and surgery was 5/19/07 but this past March I went to the Uroligist because going to the bathroom was really becoming a big problem. The doctors say my bladder is streched and the result is that I have to self catherize to empty my bladder 3 to 4 times a day. This problem of a slow and dwindiling urine stream started a month or so after the lap-band surgery and now has resulted in my not being able to go on my own at all. Part of me believes that the band has something to do with my problem but the doctors say no but yet they can't really tell me why I am haveing this problem.
  6. I don't know if they still make these but when my oldest child (he is 31 now) was a baby they had these sectioned plates that were plastic and hollow and you put hot water in them to keep the baby food warm. I have sort of looked for them but have not found them yet. It might help to at least not let the food get ice cold as it takes me at least 30 minutes to eat a half a cup of food.

    low carbing it? come join me

    Hi everyone. Low carb also works for me. To get the Net Carbs you subtract the fiber and the sugar alcohols. Always read the labels on everything that you put in your mouth. I have lost 47 pounds since Oct. 26 2007 but I want to lose faster. I think the low carb will help that out. I also need to have a set time to eat my three meals. I usually have a protein drink in the AM because food doesn't sit well before 10 AM. After that it has been hit or miss as to eating so I need to get on a schedule. I would like to keep looking in until I am able to share a breakfast lunch and dinner menu with all of you. This is a cool thread. Thanks :wink2:
