I have 5.5cc and can eat pork rinds. But, my dietitian said for me not to eat them because of the fat. I can eat them all day but, have only had them 3 times in 2 months. Seems the last time I ate them they did stay up top for a while no pain.....LONG LIVE THE PIG.

Have you ever felt food follows you around? Well, in my video that I did today I address this. In only a way that I can......FUNNY. This will be up there with one of the funniest videos I have done to date. But, It ends with a great point to make you think about it. SO LOOK TO THE LEFT AND CLICK ON MY WEBSITE AND ENJOY!!! ( i can't put my url on the post because the web police will get me)

I am feeling like one right now. I am getting another fill this Friday... I am at 4cc and I need aother fix. (ya no what I mean) I also got a new site sponsor check out today's video.. Don't want to break any internet rules so, click on my pic and find my website and look me up. Got a funny one for tomorrow...

You can also click my picture and go to my website and find my first fill on video. Its day 27. So, you just had your first fill. Not so bad, right? For the remainder of the day on your “fill days,” you should stick to just liquids: clear and full liquids. The band around your stomach is a little tighter so it may take a day or two for your body to adjust, so taking in only liquids for the day can prevent the possibility of anything getting “stuck” at the band site. Everybody’s fill volume is going to be different. And the amount of fills you get will vary from person to person. So, don’t compare yourself to others, thinking “why does she have only 5cc’s and I’m at 7cc, etc etc?” It can take a while until we reach the sweet spot of filling your band with just the right amount, to where you can still eat but feel comfortable and satisfied after a small amount of food, and continue to lose weight. Which brings us to the rules of how you should be eating. It’s not just “what” you eat, but also the way you consume your foods and liquids. For the most of us, we’ve been raised in the Clean Plate Club of America, with membership only granted to fast eaters. That behavior has got to change. Remember: SLOW, SMALL, and CHEW THOROUGHLY. When consuming foods and drinking liquids, take your time and slow down. Where’s the fire? When we eat too fast, we often end up eating too much. And when we finally feel full, we’re grossly stuffed. Sound familiar? Being so full, we have to excuse ourselves, unbutton our pants just so we can breathe. If you eat too much, over time, you may stretch your pouch. And stretching your pouch leads to a larger stomach that can hold more food. More food = more calories = weight GAIN. It takes about 20 minutes for our brains to register satiety. Once you train yourself to slow down, put the fork down between bites, and savor the food, you may find yourself being comfortably satisfied with less food than usual. Try it. After a couple bites of food, ask yourself: Do you feel full and satisfied with the amount you just ate? If so, this is a good stopping point and it’s time to step away from the table. For solid foods and liquids, make sure they are in small amounts. No more pelican mouth. If you eat too large of a bite, chances are that you probably won’t chew it well enough. This increases your chance of food getting lodged at the band site. The next thing you should do would be to locate the nearest sink/toilet/trashcan/whatever receptacle because what just went down will most likely want to come back up. Think of a funnel. Only small pieces can pass. Too large of anything: food, liquid, pills can clog up your pipe. With each bite of food, chew thoroughly. Now that you’re reminding yourself to slow down and take small bites, don’t forget to chew your food up quite well. Your stomach shouldn’t have to do much digesting. The food should be broken down well enough prior to entering the stomach. By chewing your food thoroughly, you decrease the likelihood of food getting stuck and increase the ability to tolerate more foods like beef, chicken, bread, etc. And also, chewing your food thoroughly will help you slow down the pace. All of this will come naturally, it just takes some practice. Keep reminding yourself and you’ll realize why it is so important to modify our eating behaviors.

Last week-end kicked my butt, Ya know what I mean? Week-ends are hard because you are off track with your daily routine. SO, this week-end I planned it out and low and behold I dropped in weight. You can check out my website by clicking on my pic and my website is right below it. I have lost around 60 pounds in around 2 months!!! I was banded on the 5th of Feb.

Hamburger Endurance Training and I Past….Well everyday on this journey you have to make choices and the choices you make determine the weight you lose. So make the right choices.

I know nothing about the lapband more than the normal person that has done their research before they got the surgery or getting the surgery. The cool part about my deal is that I am sharing it for all the world to see. I am video blogging everyday and putting it on my site. People say they like it and that it is really funny but, to me it has been truly inspiring to keep going and trying to lose my weight. I am a 36 year old male with a wife and 4 kids. I weighed 445 when I decided enough was enough. I had surgery on Feb 5 and this wednesday I get my first fill. I know weigh 403. If you want to check out my site click on my name to the left and look me up, Today I rapped it was a blast. If you have any advice leave me a comment. I live stream on Fridays and am going to try to do it with my doctor soon.
