woohoo great job congrat!! Keep up the good work wendy

Did your dr give directions. ? Don't worry about gaining your body is still healing.

protein tuna,turkey,cheese etc

i can only speak for myself. i sometimes feel hungry and sometimes forget to eat. When we go out to eat I don't care we go cause food isn't that important anymore. My only preferences are to make sure there are choices i can eat lke breadless, no rice etc. the part about you eating everything in sight well the band will change that. No matter if you have or haven't eaten all day, you will still only be able to eat a certain amount at a meal. Wendy

ask away. ask at the chat as well wendy

LOL depends when you were brought up. Society has a very strong hold on us. You know if you do not do what society dictates you get punished for it. It's a struggle every day.

I know most of them want us to loose before surgery so the fat is reduced on the liver so it is easier to do. wendy

From NY here too. Lots of women are reading it. There is also a back story of mystery that pulls you in. There are 3 books each with very descriptive sex scenes. People are embarrassed that they are reading it cause it isn't how they were brought up. They are embarrassed to be turned on by it. I say if its too uncomfortable stop reading. wendy

come hear to yell cause you need them on your side. wendy

HUMMUS!!!! truly i but things in the blender and puff it became mushy. I even stir fried veggies and then magic bulleted and is was yummy. wendy

I am enraged for you. What does she know is she in your body!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good luck let us know what happens Wendy

I have never heard of this. I would call and register a complaint. Have you tried exercise?? Wendy

Congrats!! Left shoulder pain yup gas. Moving around helps especially walking. Your sore because they moved your organs around. Good luck and keep up the good work! Wendy

i did and was too tight had to have some removed. Thats just me. Wendy

You need to be eating protein but not too much soft stuff. I was told to stop after 20 min. and wait. I also usually ( sometimes) have a soft stop of a runny nose or hic cups then i know to stop. You maybe full but your eyes see more food and your head says that more food = hunger.(head hunger). Measure your food then be done and don't thnk about the rest, you may find later you weren't hungry after all. Wendy

i was told nothing 3 hrs before fill. wendy

if you were near green you need it a lttle at a time to find your zone

Good Luck to you.

Well its out of your system now. I may be wrong but the worst part was probably the straw. Too much gas for your system, not that i am saying the milk shake was ok. Chalk it up to lesson learned Wendy

Life happens . Now you know how to adjust things. Good luck and good by 3lbs.

humus,pudding,eggs,i actually ate anything i could put in a blender. wendy

You do have to take water everywhere eneb in church. Always have one stashed in the car too. At the beginning i would count off the 8oz on a list. Set an alarm on your phone. After a while it will become second nature. It will also be helpful to plan the time you eat so you can stick the drinking in. I usually drink while driving home. I used to drink going into to work too. Don't obsess over it Wendy

So today of all days i need support and i can't get on the chat. Why can't they get their acts together on this site??? Ok i have been really following the rules. upped the exercise of late. Drinking water. I started losing. lost 2 lbs. Two days of Passover and still following rules. Didn't exercise tho for 2 days. Haven't really eaten to much. Stress so i have been stuck. I'm feeling good so i get on scale and find i gained 1 1/2 lbs in 2 days. No it isn't water weight cause i don't feel bloated. My body hates me i can't take it. I just finished jillian Michaels 30 day shred and resisted the chips in the kitchen. Ok that is my rant. Thanks for listening. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Happy Holidays to all Wendy

Carol I used Dr Vorha from South Nassau. How long have you been banded? Wendy

Thanks for all your responses. Some facts about me. I am two years banded and had a problem in nov and had to get 2.75 out of band. Then had to wait 10 weeks for a fill. I was down to 174.5 Then went to 177. Then after unfill 180.5. I was on my way down so i was excited cause i broke the platau. I stopped weighing myself everyday. Once i started losing i needed reinforcement so i i got on scale. I am fully aware we go up and down but i needed the scale for support this morn. I am being care about food and exercising and have a doc appointment Fri. Wendy
