Not much help but I mix mine with apple sauce.:biggrin:

I have a machine and I actually used it for about 2 months. I cant sleep well with it and do hate it with a passion.:thumbup:

I am fat for a host of reasons. I could blame my childhood and I am sure my therapist would allow me to do so. I could blame my father's second wife who after my 10th birthday refused to allow me to eat anything that she cooked. I could blame my father's second wife for allowing me to only eat turnips for an entire summer for breakfast lunch and dinner. I could blame my father for allowing it to happen. I could blame my father for the severe mental and physical abuse I endured at his hands my entire childhood. I could blame the Army for making me finish each meal I ate during training in 5 minutes or less. I could blame the Army for sending me to Kosovo where I was severely injured in a helicopter accident that has caused me to endure pain every day from that moment. I think that in me lies the true answer though. I truely love to eat, everything about food makes me a bit happier. I enjoy cooking. I enjoy sampling what I cook. I enjoy piling my plate high with food and eating it untill I could burst. I enjoy the way I feel when I have eaten my fill. I am fat because of me.

Hi all, I am new to the site and have been "listening in" for a few weeks. I recently went to a local Lap-Band seminar and forgot to ask at least one important question. Several years ago I had an Umbilical Hernia repaired with mesh, I now have a 10 inch long horizontal scar where my Belly Button once resided, is this scar and mesh likely to cause problems getting a Lap-Band? I will of course ask my surgeon when I go in for my first appointment in several weeks but I would like to be prepared for any disappointment.

Just remember that one gallon of watter weights 8.8 lbs a gallon, if you are only 5 pounds away, drink, drink, drink. Just a warning thought, I wouldn't start untill about 15 minutes before my appt.:drool:
