Hello, as some of you know Yom Kippur is in a few days. I had the band 4 months ago and was wondering how to go about the holiday. Do I fast? can I fast? Any suggestions? Thanks Sue

thank you Shana Tova

I was just wondering, it seems that a lot of you get many fills. I am getting my second tomorrow. I have had no restriction with the first at 1 1/2 cc but what I am curious about is my doctor told me my band holds only 4cc so how is it that others are so much larger?:biggrin:

Hi just had the band placed three 1/2 weeks ago at GBMC and feeling hungry but they told me I would feel hungry untill I get the first fill. My question is actually about carbs. Does anyone know what a good carb count for a day should be?

i am actually three and half weeks post surgery, did not have first fill yet, will get that on the 17th of july

do you know what is a good carb count for a day should be?

pure protein bars are amazing, especially the chocolate and the cookie dough one

Ok, my first week was hard, painful and itchy but I made it through. I have lost about 13 pounds already to date. I am not sure what to do now though, my plan book says that I should be on full liquid for one week, puree for 1 week and should be starting soft foods this week but most of the web-sites I have been to say either soft on week 4 or 5? Am I ahead of myself? I had some tofu about 4oz tonight and feel fine. Nothing stuck and I am not nauseous. What are some suggestions? Should I still stay on puree or is it ok to switch to soft? I am also getting the munchies since it is that time of the month. Driving me nuts. Been really good but any suggestions.

not sure if it is weird? I have been having a painful and sensitive sensation in that area, not sure what it is but seeing the dr tomorrow anyway.
