coldest in the room. I used to love a/c not so much anymore wendy

Some people can. I personally can't do pasta, orzo or rice. Sometimes i can do cous cous but very little. The reason I was given for no pasta or rice is that the swell so although it is soft when it swells it makes you uncomfortable, stuck because of that. wendy

First take a deep breath. You maybe having head hunger. If you are not keep drinking water. Unfortunately it isn't magic and it takes a while. Some people feel full quickly so people need a few fills. You need to give yourself time. Please try and stick to mushies because you need to heal. Have you tried puddings or ice pops or jello? Remember not to drink with eating. My dr told me 30 min before and 1 hr after. Hang in there your first fill is around the corner. Good luck Wendy

Everyone's band is different. I can eat all flat fish, shrimp and lobster when cut small. Seafood salad for me is well lets just say not for me. Clams are iffy and crab sometimes. You have to try and see. Go slow. Hope you enjoy the eggs. Wendy

You may be tight.I was ok for many and all of a sudden i had to have some out. What a relief. Wendy

Merry Christmas Jana, I cannot comment about the hematoma because I didn't these issues. I do want to say that sometimes we need to just gleen info from people and leave behind there negativity. I have had the lap band 22 mo and recently had a problem of being too tight. I a m dealing with that. The reason I am bringing it up is to let you know I have gone 22 mo with out any issues. Of course there will be horror stories but the rest of us are doing pretty well. My suggestion too you Is to follow directions about this issue and drink fluids as much as possible and walk as much as possible. Good luck Happy holidays and I hope the New Year brings you all you deserve and wish for. Wendy

Good to hear . Great inspiration. Wendy

Have a funny taste in my mouth. I have been have beans as carbs so i don't think it is ketosis. Any ideas? Wendy

it is after anything i eat. I have been \banded 15 mo first time this has happened. wendy

I know this reply maybe too late but you can call muscle mild and they will send you samples before you spend the money. Personally i like it. I like Eas as well but muscle milk is slightly better. Here's the number for muscle milk-1-888-298-6629. Wendy

Good luck on your choice of major I have my CSAC.
