You will get throught this. Life always seems to throw thoes curv balls at you when your least expecting it. Just know I will be here for you as much as I can, even though you are distant, I will listen while you vent. Sometimes thats all a person needs. So you more than welcome to email me in private. BTW, Thanks for wanting to vote, but I do understand you have alot going on and your family is more important than getting on here. I hope things turn out for the better for you and you family.

Hello, I had my first experience today getting stuck and boy let me tell you that is soooo uncomfortable. I just chased it with Water and was ok. The food that got stuck on me was a noodle and then a piece of beef. I think I did not chew it well enough. I sure will be more careful next time.

Hello Everyone, First and foremost I would like to thank the ones who did vote for me. 2nd I so finally got my Van back from the shop YAY!! I was with out a vehicle for 2 weeks. My Cat is doing better but now has something else going on and is sneezing all the time with icky eyes. So they changed his antibiotics last night. Poor Cat he has gone a lot lately. Ok, I seen Dr Garcia today for my fill and since I was there last month I lost 3 lbs. He told me that was good for not havng a fill and that I should not to get dicourged. I told him I am not discourged and that I am fully aware this will take time. I am happy with myself at this point. My fill was very painless and quick. He filled me 1.5 ML and told me if I get stuck then try not to eat solids for 24 hours. But to aviod that I told him I have decide to eat just soft foods for 24 hours. He did not object to that. He also told me that I may only feel a restriction for like a week maybe less. Well I will let everyone know when I no longer feel a restriction.

I will be able to purchase a wedding dress and the girls dress for my wedding. So what I am asking fro the group here is to support me please by voting. I only have 1 day and about 8 hours left.

Thank you for your support Brickfish Social Media: Shawn ~N~ Cher's Wedding I am dong well but have not lost or gained any weight and I cant wait for my fill on Wednesday. I will let everyone know how it went.

Adamsmom: I am sorry to hear about your son. I will keep you in my thoughts. I understand where your coming from, when you say going back to old habits when under stress. I myself have been going through some stress here and find myself eating sweets. I even have not been able to exercise for the past week :tt2:. First our van broke down and is still in the shop and then the next thing was our persian cat Sammy got really sick on Saturday @ 5am in the morning. To make the long story short he had a slipped disk that was bulging on one side:frown:. It turned out he needed surgery and is now recovering well. This was a very expensive surgery. Lets just say it was more than $3,000. But I was not going to let him suffer or put him down. I have a friend who has a son that has Autism and I see what it's like for her and the other children in her home. You need a lot of patience with a child who has Autism.

I think we all slowed down it weight loss, because we need a fill. I sure know I need a fill and can't wait. I can eat & eat & eat. I try my very hardest not to, and sometimes I catch myself eating a little more than I should or eating way to fast because I am too hungry and need to get food in my stomach. I get very worried about any situation with my banding ( i am a worry wort) but the more we are aware of things the better it will be for us. I have had one piece of bread and had no problems but I have decided to stay away from bread after eating that piece. y reason for this is because it is high in Carbs and I want to stay on a low carb diet and counting my calories. So I will eat wraps which are healthier for you. There 90 calories and only 6 carbs. I also had overcooked noodles lastnight for dinner but my noodles were dreamfields which are 5 digestable carbs and this product is a little more expensive than your regular noodles. I shop at Giant food store here in PA and the noodles cost me $1.79 a box. Dreamfields is good for people who have diabeties. If anyone is interested please see their website Dreamfields Pasta Tastes Great, Low Carb Pasta, Diabetic Pasta, Healthy Pasta Recipes They have a coupon for dollar off on their website and have some really good recpies. When you eat these noodles you will never know the difference. My 15 year old son did not even know I changed my noodles :ohmy:. If anyone tries them please let me know your thoughts. theresa0326: I have eat about a 1/4 - 1/2 cup of food per meal and eat about 800 calories a day. Now like I said earlier I find myself eating a little more than I should. I am still on protien shakes and will be faithly and What other's were teling me you should have 60-70 grams of protien a day. This helps with hair loss There is one thing I have been worried about, loosing this weight I am sure to have flabby skin and may at some point need a tumy tuck, however I really don't want to go that route and I am looking for any kind of information on how to loose your flabby skin after weight loss. I am doing some research on the web and any information I may find that is good I will sure share it with you. But I am asking you as a group rigth now, does anyone have any info they could share with me on this situation, please? I know this is sometime off but I like to be prepared for what is ahead of me. Thanks in advance.

I was banded January 13th, I have no restriction yet but will Feb 25 and I can;t wait. I get very hungry and eat about 1/4 cup - 1/2 cup of food per meal in between my meals I drink Protein shakes to curve my hunger and this also helps with hair loss. my Dr. tells me that i can eat things like, pureed skinless chicken or fish, mashed potatoes, peas, low fat yogurt or pudding. But every Dr is different and your better off listening to what you dr thinks is best for you. You need to exercise in order for your metabolism to increase. but you also must burn more calories than what you are taking in. My weight loss goes back and forth right now as well. hope this helps a bit.

AMYMOE; I see i explained it well enough for you to get the tracker. YAY!! Adamsmom: that is awesome CONGRATS!! Keep up the good work. Well I posted my instructions how to get your ticker for all the others who were not sure how to do it. Good Luck! Well my lunch break is over and I must get back to work. Have a good day everyone!
