Thanks for the PB explaination as I haven't had that happen but have had the slimming stuff (YuK). This has been a journey but I am glad I am doing it. I feel better and am looking better too. I know the walking is really helping and after the holidays will increase to somemore exercises. Thanks Brendab

All of you seem to have done better than me with this weight loss. I am down 25lbs since my surgery of 9/12/2006. I do need a fill now (2previous) but did not want to do it until after Christmas. Haven't lost anything in 3-4weeks but have still continued to do my daily walk of 2miles. I don't want to sound dumb but what is PB? Brendab

I eat sugarfree oatmeal. I am trying to get better with the protein instead of the carbs but they are easier to get down.Brendab

Well I was banded Sept.12 and have lost 25lbs. which is slow compared to the others I have been reading but I'll take it. I too can eat more at times and junk food is easier than good food. Brendab

I don't know about anyone else but I can't eat scrambled eggs at all they made me sooo sick. Never had any problems before the band. I have trouble when I eat too fast. Brendab

Well everyone I went in for my 6wk checkup and have lost 20lbs. I think the walking 2miles a day has been a big help in the weight loss. It seems slow to me but the dr. is really pleased and the inches are showing now. I am cleaning out the closet since I have every size in there and making the next fit in piles and the give away piles. I too am having a problem with how much to eat and the dr. said you can stretch out the pouch so to be very limiting. I am going to meet with the nutientest hopefully next week. I just have to know when to say enough!! Brendab

What is a low profile port?Brendab

I am scheduled for my 1st fill on Oct.9th, what can I expect?Brendab

I too am a bruised mess and it has been 12 days.It is getting better but the area where the port is now has red bumps but no infection. I think I may have an allergy to the tape. Brendab

I am going to start walking tomorrow morning . Dusted off the treadmill and am ready now I am 12 days postop. Brendab

I am also trying to get the tickler to work without success. Any help? On another note. I don't think I have any restriction right now I feel like I could eat anything even though I haven't as I am still on liquid for 2more days. I did have some chicken noodle soup (just a little) I felt like I was starving? Any other new bandsters feel like that?
