Well for me that is what it was but every doctor has a different plan but I would say that if you stick with the 64 ounces per day then yeah... you should be good... just make sure its Protein based to help curb the hunger...... protein helps to curb that hunger..... good luck and welcome to lapband land!!!!!:thumbup::rolleyes2::thumbup:

I removed it...sorry...wasnt trying to cause problems...just thought others might like a chance to make a little cash while being at home recovering or whatever... Thanks for the info you found...and have a great nite!!!! Carla

I removed this thread...thanks everyone!!!

I removed this post...it was just too much controversy... Good luck to everyone!!!

believe that for one sec....NOPE....cannot believe and instrument could NOT make it through...kept bending...umm NO...I think it had to be something else..i have never heard of that.....Its just my honest opinion and not that it matters but I think it was something else....:drool:

started busting out laughing...ITS OK that you had some pizza....you are human....its not as if you ate a LARGE pizza by yourself...lol.....we still have cravings and still want the same things we wanted before we had a band...dear Lord they didnt operate on our brains...lol.....I am smiling from ear to ear....soon when you hit your sweet spot..that will all change and you will be wishing for a piece of pizza...smiling....stop beating yourself up and there is NO damage I am sure....you are fine.....Hang in there...

yes...i do prepare most of my own soups....for instance..yesterday I made a homemade broccoli cheddar soup...basically....boiled some finely chopped brocolli added a can of cream chicken soup...2 cans chicken broth some cheese and some shredded has browns and let it cook down to a thin/slightly thick and ate a bowl of that...I do NOT EVER eat bread period..no crackers..no bread type of products....nothing that can ever GUMMMMYYY up in there....I can however eat popcorn (I KNOW...go figure) and it goes down just fine....so i eat that alot as a snack...I love egg salad and I make that alot because it slides on down just fine...I am just very picky with what I eat...trying to make sure that I get proteins in as much as possible. I simply dont eat alot..that is basically the biggest part of it...I can eat green beans if I boil them down until they are almost mushy or whatever.....but I cannot eat pasta of any kind...baked potatoes are great...well i am just rambling....would you like me to call you...I would be more than happy to call and we can chat if you like...if so PM me your number or I can talk to you on yahoo messenger if you like and we could discuss openly there about it...whatever you like...I am here to help....

I have been very successful and I appreciate your kind words. I would definitly talk to my doc about the situation if I was you. I have very little fluid in my band and it works well for me. I have had very little fills and I have done well with that. I guess I hit my sweet spot early on.....as you can see I have updated my info and as to date I have lost 146 lbs. I eat alot of soups and soft type of foods which works well for me. I still cannot eat bread or hamburgers or anything that is thick and full or "gummy" or whatever. I am assuming that you still have the band right? but just without any fluid?

since my surgery and it was very cool to see....the doc just wanted to check out things..make sure everything was where it should be and he said it was PERFECT....:clap2: ...it was neat to see it in there..I mean I KNOW its there because the little finiky b**ch reminds me of it allllll the time :grouphug: giggling...but to see it in there kind of gave me this new reassurance or something.....I am just so grateful everything is okay..where it should be...and doing the job its supposed to do! GOD is so wonderful to me..and I am loving my band.....LOTS OF LOVE and LUCK TO ALLLLLLL

Hang on...it gets easier...try to make some kind of slushies...that was a good suggestion..makes you feel like you are eating something..lol....just hang tough...before you know it it will be be 6 months like me and you will be well on your way to a whole new you..hang in there.....and good luck

Well put ms vicki- its a tool for us to use...

I cannot possibly drink and flush anything through..if I drink it HURTS so bad that I am miserable until it comes back up....apparently your restriction isnt what is should be...just my h/o

Had the same thing...my doc said it was gas...air trapped from the surgery etc...it will get better...just hang in there....if you are too worried call your doc for assurance...
