Now I know why people lose weight with this band

That is good to know (about the pita bread) I have heard most people say that they can't do bread, I am glad to know that there is some bread that works! Thanks~

Okay, after reading all of this thread, :ranger: this is the conclusion I have come to --

All bread is ASSUMED guilty until proven innocent.

And timing/spacing of bites is as important if not more important than size of bites and number of chews.

I don't know where she got that idea about milk but it isn't true. I am a big milk drinker and always have been. I have my Protein Shake every morning with 8 oz of skim milk...7 days a week. It does absolutely nothing. I drank milk during my liquid stage as well.

Do you think eating ice cream everyweek-end 1/2 gallon will damage the ban? I do it and nothing happens but slow to no weight loss?

Holy shit that is a lot of ice cream. I am not surprised you are not losing weight. You should be thankful you are not gaining weight.

That was my exact thought! Notice you have been at goal for 13 mths, congrats! I haven't been banded yet, 1st consult is next Wed. Have you kept off the weight thru just food, or are you exercising regularly?

Be Well,

Hi,

I saw that you were banded with Dr. Rumbaut. How did you like that? How was monterey? I was thinking of going with him, but I am really really scared. Can you please tell me how you are enjoying the band? Are you glad you did it? What problems have you had?

It would be great also if you could tell me how much it was to go to Dr. Rumbaut. I think it's about 10,500 or so.

Thanks!!!

      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.
