This past weekend I went to a family party. I had a large alcholic drink, and drank it rather quickly, and not follwoing my usual procedure of waiting to eat after 5 or 10 minutes I saw some food. DId Ichew carefully heck no - and all of sudden all hockey sticks froze over - they say I was green or gray around the gills. I felt terrible kept burping up stuff - moral of the story keep with the program......:sad_smile:

Hi there this is my first posting - I had my Lap Band installed(?) in November, and it has been working very well. I have been keeping to a strict eating schedule of three or less meals a day. Since I drink alot and do not 'eat' between meals my question is how do you select when to eat a fruit, and is it considered eating between meals...I very confused. I have eaten some fruits, on occassion but feel somewhat guikty - help!:smile2:

Thank you one and all for your input it is greatly appreciated. I love fruit and have not figured how to include it in the eating schedule. I have been having fruit as desert - after dinner. I too am not hungry for fruit pr anything, but sometimes dizzyness does set in and I will eat. As for fruits I have eaten cherries, mangos, papaya, pineapple,tried oranges did not like them too difficult. Bananas are a no-no becomes yuk. I can somehow do dried apricots, bananas - ( I got them natural) very good. As for the comment about being 'regular' - ha! that's funny I can go at least a day or two without ... I have found that if I have a prune or two it helps. Enjoy hearing form you all.
