Good Luck Doriana on your pre op . Yes Yoda is right, it does get easier after 3 or 4 days. Good luck to your hubby too.

Since having the band my taste buds have really changed. I no longer can drink Tim Hortons coffee. I could become a vegetarian. Could care less about meat.I might eat meat 1 or twice a week. I eat protein by eggs ,cheese string ,peanut butter. I am nervous to eat green salad. Afraid i can't chew it good.Anybody else experiencing this ?

Wheezy you might be on a stand still for 2 or 3 wks. Then you will start losing again. Be patient. My hair is getting thinner too .

A friend of mine was talking about the band. So i research it and discussed with dh about it.The money was the issue.After major discussions my dh and i both got the band . no regrets

Yoda you are doing great with your weightloss .You can always have a little piece if the temptations too much. Tommorrow is another day.

I was wondering if anyone else have had something stuck in the band. What did you do to dislodge it? I go for a fill next week (oct 6) .Hopefully this feeling goes away.I have pressure were my band is. Also when i eat it i can't eat very much then i slime and i pb yesterday on cup a soup. I don't know if something is stuck or case of bad constipation. Are we allowed to eat popcorn ? I hope it is ok(band). I am a little nervous.:help: thanks for any advice.

Hi Argon. Did you ever get your unjury yet? If so do you like it ?

Congratulations Cloe on your weight loss.You are doing great,

They are so cute. How old are they?

I suck at challenges to but i want to get down to 210 by X-mas. 14 lbs. Hopefully.

I want a good mp3 player to download songs onto for my treadmill.

Sorry to hear about your episode of pb's Wheezy. It is not fun. I am afraid to eat in a restaurant; just in case i am sick. Oh well we will save money .

No i would call that slime.I can't believe where all the slime comes from.Sorry to be gross.

Argon pb is the whole contents of food in your pouch.Sometimes i think i ate to much because alot comes up.

cute song Yoda.

How are those cookies you made for Mr Yoda ? Yes he has pb,s but he mainly slimes too.

Sometimes my pb,s last anywhere from 5 mins. to about 20 mins . I had cup of soup one day for lunch , then i drove kids to Zellars ,all the way there i was not feeling good so i pulled over and pb . I can't eat some foods. Foods that i can't eat so far are; shrimp, noodles in soup,almonds (had a little chicken guy ding) ,carrots are iffy. I am afraid to try anything new. :think

mmmmmmm peanut butter banana cookies never had them,Sounds very good.

You are very lucky Yoda i have probably pb's about 8 times already. I still have a problem with with chewing my food.

WELCOME Sunsreturn and Doriana .Yes this is a great site for advice and encouragement.Yes my hubby and i both had the same band put in.We are doing good.(thanks Yoda)

Green i tried all the diets too.The money i spent on Dr. Bernstein's ;all the diet books etc.; weight watchers , tops ;the list goes on.This is no easy way out. I have paid my dues. I wish i heard about the band sooner.Yes i would be pissed if anyone criticized me.

I agree with you Yoda, i refuse to go on a strict diet with the band. I have been on a diet for 30 years off and on and i am tired of dieting .I make healthy choices most of the time and exercise .If it takes me a year to take my weight off ;i am not in any hurry as this is a lifetime change.

I lent my slow cooker to my ds .All these recipes sounds so good .I will have to try them.

Has anyone had any luck getting on the tlbc. message board? I haven't yet and i e-mailed Kathy 3or 4 days ago.

Congratulations on your weight loss Green. All that worrying on the fill for nothing lol.
