hi hope you feel better, do you have a recliner you can slept in at night. because i had the same problem after surgery.

i also had to cook family meal as i do every holiday. but this time i had the band. i was a little worried i was gonna go crazy. but thanks to my band.i hardly ate much. i did have a portion of everything.then i went to my bike an exercise.this time last year i was just starting out.i had lost 40lbs before my surgery an had to maintaine it through out the hoildays last year.i think i did good. looking at all that food. i love my band it rocks.

i was also worried this is my first thanksgiving being banded, i cooked all my dinner, had a small portion of everything,an i am ok.i was worried about restriction.but i still have some.the doctor office said i could come in early for a fill but i decline.i go in monday anyway,i am getting on my bike for tonight. hope everyone is having a nice thanksgiving.

this is also my first thanksgiving banded.just like nfl1 said i ate a little of everything. an boy it is good. just a spoonful.i am 10 months out i feel great but believe me i am on the bike right after my meal.no more for tonight. i have nip that in the bud.i am now getting on my stationary bike an ride like the wind. since october i have lost 100lbs an i feel great.hope everyone is having a wonderful thanksgiving.

hi do you have a store in your area that,s call avenue,or go online @avenue clothing.com. another is Aj wright clothing store.it seems that i am hooked everytime i go out i have to buy something. goodluck .i know you are gonna look nice.

i have a stationary bike that i get on everyday,an ride for 45minutes ,4 to 5 times a day.it seems the only time i lose weight is when i get a fill.last month i lost 5lbs. total 65lbs,plus 40 before surgery.so that,s 100lbs.but what,s keeps me motivated i think about the weight i am gonna lose.think about how sexy you gonna look this time next year.

the supermarkets carry eas protien products.shoprite stop&shop.you have to look in the dietian isle.and sometime it,s on sale for like $12.00-14.00 dollars. also if you have a walmart.because gnc is so expensive.

good for you, go get em tiger. you dust those gloves off.i predict a knockout. and the winner is(frustratedInLa).

starbucks have the big bottles of sugarfree syrups.for around $6.00.or check walmart,sometimes they have them.an any other supermarket,just ask the clerk or manager.

congrats on your five pounds. every pound counts.an you are only on your second fill.keep on trucking chapauo1.

sometimes it takes more than one or two fills to get restriction. it took my fourth fill. then i started to drop pounds but mines only happens when i get fill.hang in their. it will happen.you are only out a month. after losing 19 lbs after post-op my doctor told me don,t expectto lose any more weight. until i started getting my fills.

can you have the hospital call you a cab.thats how i got home. good luck on your new journey in life. please do not cancel your surgery because of this. you don,t know how long it will take for your doctor to redo.

the only place i see it advertise is on qvc, the hotdogs, the bison burgers. i wonder do they sell it in any supermarkets. it do looks delicious.

go to you tube search for lapband vlogs.an thats it. their are plenty on you tube. happy watching.

when i went in for my info session.i had to come in early, because the nurse said i had to fill out the diet history, its a blank sheet of paper asking what diet you had tried over the years, she told me to just write any diet, the questions on my paper consists of how long wrer you on the diet. how much weight you lost. what diet were you on. from what month, maybe 2-3 months stuff like that.i put i was on akins weight watchers special k south beach. thats an example. she said as long as i put down something. make sure you fill up the page. hope this help.

if you are talking about drugs like being on crack. then yea in my neck of the woods. you either on crack.got aids. of cancer.example last week a friend of my boyfriend. sound so (high school) saw me out in a store he ask him what happen to me(he has the band also)so he decided to tell him that i had the lapband. he was so shock.i lost 91lbs. people are use to seeing me at 324lbs believe me i had a beer belly.an it shrunk. an also he had a big beer gut, so i pass him. he got the band before me.i am sure a lot of people wonder the same thing.but until they ask i am not telling,i have told some people. the point is i ask him why you told him i had the band.then it pop in my head you don,t want people to think i am on crack. well from my neighbor hood it makes a lotta since.but it don,t make me no difference on way of another.
