Thanks to all that gave me some suggestions. I saw the dr today and we decided to leave it the way it is and I will see him again in jan. I have lost a total of 33lbs. This is great but I was a little jealous of the 18yr old girl that had surgery the same day and has lost 50lbs. My dr said she was yonger so it was a little easier for her. I mean come on I am only 32 i am not that old. geez LOL -

Hi all, Question for everyone. I go to the doctor tommorrow and I am having a delima. I have a total of 5ccs in my band. And I don't know if I should have another fill or not. I had alot of trouble in the beginng with very bad pbing and actually getting sick. But now for the the most part I am doing well. My hubby thinks that I should leave it alone because I can eat a fairly normal meal and steal lose weight and not feel deprived. The Dr has me come see him once a month so he can see how I am doing. I am afraid to get another fill right now b/c I don't want to have more of a problem. Sometimes I eat to quickly b/c I am starving since my job is on the phone 8 hrs a day taking calls so I very rarely have time to eat a snack or drink to stave off the hunger. So I think in the begining that is why I had the pbing episodes but now I am feeling much better with my fill. I can eat about 6 to 8oz of solid protein which I think is good. As far as excersing I climb stairs alot at work and walk a little so I need to get more exercise. So what is everyones opinion? -

Hi everyone, So I have a total of 5cc in my 10cc band. It has been really hard to deal with. I have had several very bad pb episodes basically throwing up. My mom who has bypass 8 years ago says i am eating to fast. Also I have a customer service job on the phone so i can't really eat at my desk for fear the phone will ring and i swallow something pratically whole. So I eat breakfast before work around 9am then lunch at 4pm then dinner at 8:30 or 9pm. My hours are 11-8. So any suggestions on slowing down whould be great. I go back to the doctor on the 25th of this month. I have lost 3 pounds since my fill though. Which is good because last month I just stayed the same. -

I shoot between 60 to 90grams a day with supplementing.And since I have fine straight hair I don't want to lose any. I went to GNC and bought the protein bullets. They have 42grams in them and you drink it kind of like a shot or a shooter. Usually it takes me 3 -4 sips to get it down. They are about 3.00 a tube and they come in lots of flavors. I just discovered these and I think they are so much faster than making a protein shake during the week. I also take the Centrum chewable orange vitamins I get mine form Target. -

Yes you should tell your doctor how you feel. Also do your own research that way when she has suggestions you can give her yours. I would go with a doctor that has alot of experience with the band. I am a google junkiw so I researched everything and every doctor I was considering. When it comes down to it you will have to live with the band for the rest of your life so you want to make sure the doctor knows what they are doing.:wink_smile:

Hi all, I have gotten a new job. All is well but I can't eat any snacks like I did before because I only get a lunch and no breaks. I am still wondering about this because I thought they had to give you at least a ten minute break once or twice a day besides lunch. As it is I only got a lunch after 4-5 hours of working. It is very crazy right now. Question for you all. I am so hungry by lunch and dinner that I am eating to fast and we all know what that means. Any suggestions on what to do or how to sneak more in when I can't get off the phone? Oh by the way I am working at a call center again so I must stay on the phones. When I went to find a new job I had to start all over again which means being back on the phones. Here is my typical day 8am at home - breakfast either egg salad or chicken salad I make 9am-protein drink of some sort because I am drving to work to start at 10am ( I work 10am - 7pm or 11am - 8pm depending on their needs) 2pm or 3pm - depending when they let me go to lunch I have tuna salad or chicken salad or a plain no bun burger or veggie burger. I also have yogurt and/or fruit with maybe a couple high fiber crackers Dinner 8 or 9pm - usually whatever I cook for my family or whatever my DH makes. Something like chicken cabbage alfredo ( no pasta) or sloppy joes (no bread for me), grilled chicken, spagetti, etc.... I do have a problem with getting my water in and Coffee has been a crutch this week. So I have to kick that again. Anyways any suggestions would help. Thanks everyone. -
