I pb'd tonite. Haven't done that for a while. Lately, at night I have no trouble eating, my band is loose. I was eating thinly sliced Kielbasa with sauerkraut. Think I probably ate a little too fast. Or the kraut turned to instant gas and filled my tummy.LOL

what is pb'd?

I love love love love kraut and eat eat eat eat it.

I do not eat the kraut as a meal but as a snack :mad:

kraut is yummy in your tummy

:biggrin::angry: I heard noise... my DAHusband just reset my scale :tongue2::mad2::thumbup:

A pb is a productive burp or as I prefer to call it, a puke back.

Why does he reset the scale?

So true Jolly green...you rock btw. The thing I LOVE about my band at the age of 50 is. That by now (I was banded last December) I would gained all the weight I lost back and some. Even though I've lost only 35 or so I would definenitly have GAINED by now! We must not forget that. i know I would have passed 250 by now and knowing that I can get a fill to counter act this.....well it really is a miracle! I just don't know why people suffer so much with there weight when there is a solution now! :scared2::lol:

I love saurkraute but never could eat it with my first band even when it was functional. I ate it a good bit sans band and twice with my new one before i got a fill, but would be afraid to eat it unless i cooked it in a pressure cooker cause it is rather tough and stringy. I think it would be a set up for a pb. I hate it too cause it is low cal and very tasty with some pork ribs or roast, yummmmm!

Hmmmmm....... never thought about it. Don't have it frequently, but do eat it from time to time over the last 2 years without any problems. Like it with hot dogs or sausage. Mom used to make it with spare ribs, too. Problem is, then I want some mashed potatoes with it, too!

Sauerkraut must have been a show stopper since there's been no posting since the subject was brought up. Haven't tried that one yet, but I'm eating everything else, bet I could eat that too.

I have been finding out that not everything goes down easy. Some stuff really needs to be chewed a lot (raw carrots) and small bites works the best. I love this because it really is doing what it's supposed to do. A lot of food isn't just slipping down mindlessly....I actually have to think and chew and chew and chew and take my time eating. Wow!!

Its been quite some time since I was last here. I finally had my first fill since my surgery on January 16th of this year. I do indeed feel restriction from my first fill. I started out losing fast and then it slowed as I was eating more. I am now at 200 lbs and expect to break it by the end of this week.

6 days a week of exercise is a part of my life now. I especially enjoy working out with the Wii Fit game. It is fun and not difficult and you do indeed get a good work out.

Glad to hear you're doing so well. I like the Wii Fit, too. Which of the exercises/games do you like best. I tend to do a lot of the balance games. But have a new knee now and think I can start doing some of the others. The step games would be good for me now.

I do all of the balance games, step aerobics (took me some time to get the rhythm of this), hula hoop, short distance running in place (actually I walk in place). I also do only the standing yoga. I also do the fitness on the disk that comes with the game. I use 5 different Miis so that I can do it five times in a row as it only allows you to do it once a day.

The soccer balance game is a hoot!

I like the soccer game, too. Last summer I got my scores on the advanced up to 105-110m but this summer can't get that high. But... early in the summer... knee worse than last year, and then I had knee replacement. I think I have recovered sufficiently to start doing all that stuff again... and start adding things I couldn't do before... like the step aerobics. I can only do the standing yogas, too. Yeah, I like the sports stuff.... bowling, golf, especially. boxing is hard... can never make my punches go where I want them to. Baseball, tennis, so-so. But my all time favorite is the tilt table things on the balance exercises. I LOVE that!

Yeah, the walking in place is kind of fun... you follow a trainer, and there are other people running/walking with you, and towards you, and dogs, etc. and you run around an island so the scenery keeps changing.. I enjoy it.

      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.
