i was kinda bad with that stage, like you not knowing what to eat, and what will get stuck or not. also my mind would not get past the whole puree thing, i could'nt do it either.lol .i had mashed potatoes,apple sauce, grits,scambled eggs(no boiled may get stuck), yogurt,soft cheese(almost melted),crackers, tuna fish and my protein shakes(8oz Vanilla soy milk, half banana, and the powder). they say you can also try soft fruit w/ out juice,flaky fish and baked sweet potatoes, cottage cheese but i never tried those. i would'nt say that i over reacted with the whole STUCK thing but i never had anything get stuck yet. I'm careful with it some what but kinda need it to happen because i'm relaxed and cocky and need to slow down with my chewing still. i'll have to pull out my papers from the nutrionist and see what else she had on there, but i hope this gives you some type of variety.

it's a new year, just wanted to chek in on you and see how you were doing?

it's a new year and i wanted to wish you well, how are things going so far for you?

hello lady how are you coming along over there?

glad to hear, i'm doing good i go for my 3rd fill in 2 weeks. and yeah i think i'm going to be a FILL JUNKIE..lol i love the restriction you feel after a fill. keep me posted!

Glad to know your'e doing good and that it will be better now for you. i think i've done what everybody told me not to do, and that's work out (weights) too much until you start turning fat into muscle. being that muscle weighs more that's one reason why i probably have'nt seen much weight lost lately, but at the same time i'm soo damn nervous and afraid that my body will not bounce back when i do finish losing the weight. so i'm just up in the gym like a darn fool because i don't want alot of flab. so now i think i'm going to walk everyday and workout(weights) a few times a week, also it's about time for my 3rd fill (Jan. 19th). So i'll set this plan in motion and see what happens after that.

thank you for asking, my Christmas was good and my New Year is also starting off well. anytime you can make it through the Holidays and still lose a few lbs is good enough for me. how are you feeling right about now ? and how did everything go ? i know you must be sore all over again ! well at least you'll be on the right path now. they never said it would be easy but i never would of expected to have to have a port replaced, that's for darn sure. hope everything is going good for you though, you're a trooper ! holla back

thanks for checking in, i'm doing good had my 2nd fill before christmas, lost another 3lbs and so far i'm doing good and still have the restriction nice and tight. and that's okay you can steal it, i got it from photobucket.

not a problem, we all need it and sometimes a kick in the butt also. i think the biggest motivation for me is seeing the pictures from you all who have been where i'm trying to get to. i also had the problem of no other half (boyfriend) support and that's why i put the surgery off for 3yrs. but it was really his own insecurities and taste for larger woman.and was afraid i would get too little, so i dumped him and got myself together. i think that's one of my only regrets is that i did not do it sooner. so now it's all about me. sometimes i do wonder though what is too little ? or what is enough? especially if you have been over weight just about your entire life....

just stopped in to see how you were doing, we are getting real close to your date aren't we ? anxious yet ? well have a happy hloidays and keep me posted

wow so that means surgery all over again huh. sorry to hear that, but if that's what it takes so you can move towards your goal then... well at least you'll be brand new instead of walking around with a busted port going crazy trying to figure out why you're not losing. and at least you know it wasn't something you were doing wrong! Good Luck,my prayers are with you and keep me posted

Welcome to Lap-Band Talk, for me it has been a great place to visit and get information, support, answers, make friends with a past and future that's in common ,and sometimes just simply vent. everyone is different and will lose at a different rate, but you have to give it up to yourself because you looking good gurl ! a bathing suit...come on now, you go gurl ! keep up the success, you got it!

just wanted to say hang in there and keep the fight on, hope you have a Happy Holidays!
