have a good time at rr tomorrow, y'all; wish i could be there. jamie, you will love the girls; they are soooo supportive.

okay, confession time; i thought that maybe the band wasn't really all that restrictive for me as i don't have "full" feelings. i portion out what i think is appropriate and that is it. well, this morning i arrived early at art class; i was the only one in room for about 20 min. I had a Breakfast sandwich that i had removed one bread portion from, as i have done before. However, my mind was totally elsewhere and I did the following: 1) i took a larger than normal bite; 2) did not chew my 30 times; and 3) took another large bite. all without thinking. suddenly, i experienced the "uh-oh" and immediately tried to take a drink! Wrong!!:tongue::yikes: So I have now officially experienced SLIME and a PB.....gawd, it was awful....i was all alone and thought i was dying! Of course, it passed, but if I thought that my band wasn't really working, I was obviously wrong!:eek:

So, Jamie, don't make the mistake of being distracted as you put food into your mouth! It won't happen again to me!!:tongue:

Oh My Goodness Deb!!! I am sorry to hear this!!! Well, I am 9 months out and having PB'd or slimed, but I got so stuck the other day, I feared that my record would be broken! The enemy is being too hungry and taking too large of a bite -- that's my enemy! The old inhale mentality takes over and I forget my new Lapband manners! I feel for you!!

Don't be jealous Deb, but last night, I got to see "our guy's" wife! She was here for her last and final rally! I hope he wins today!!!! She's the sweetest woman!

How did you know that was the ONE thing I'm most worried about?!?!?! :lol::) I'm scared to death that I'll forget I have a band and just go hog wild for a few bites and then PB and slime all over myself. :lol:

Don't worry! If it happens once, you'll remember next time. I am 9 months out and it hasn't happened yet. Stuck yes! Leftovers heated in the microwave and being super hungry was my problem! No PB or sliming yet. Boy was I scared it was coming back up!

Dee!! Soap! Don't forget the soap! Consider this your official reminder... :lol:

Going to the airport now! OMG IT'S REALLY HAPPENING!!!!! :cursing::w00t::laugh:

Okay Sister! I just talked to you on the phone! I'm home now and I'm going to get the soap and put it next to my purse, keys and camera! I'm going to the hairdresser at 1700 to get my color done, so I hope she doesn't fix my hair in an ugly way! If I am late, I am sorry. Denvergirl should be there - get us a big table, round is best for conversations and I'll get there as soon as possible! I can't wait to see you Jaime Girl!! AND all the other Banditos!

Jaime's "leaving, on a jet plane...." That was me serenading you guys. Just be glad you couldn't really hear it in person!!!

GREAT! I haven't been hugged a long time! Probably since Deb and Denvergirl met me at the Atlanta Bread Co. So I'll take all the hugs I can get! A girl can get pretty lonely being single!

Thanks for the singing! Very pretty voice!!!

Hugging you back!!:thumbup:

Aw Deb you poor thing. Doesn't take much to remind us how to eat. A PB will do it for sure.

You know after awhile the BITE will feel like it is too much. I've spit out food on occasion because that PB pain is not something I'm eager to experience. Lucky for me my dog is more than happy to take that bite off my hands!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
