Rene, my semi-sarcastic crack about the implants was because after my surgery, I bought 1 (yes one) share of Inamed stock, just for amusement purposes. So, with the implant being approved I made like $3.00 over the past 2 days.

OK, neither Eileen or I actually have bands yet, so you MAY want to use the search function - type in PB and like a thousand posts will come up from lots of people who DO have bands - but, I will give you the wisdom I have gleaned from countless hours of hanging out on LBT:

PB's are caused by eating too fast, taking too-big bites, not chewing enough, or any combination of the above.

It can also happen if you have too much restriction.

Eat SLOW

Take TINY little bites

Chew. Chew until you think the food is mush and then chew some more.

For the most part, it seems that if you follow these rules, you will avoid the infamous and much dreaded PB.

BUT - if you do have one, you need to do liquids & mushies for a day or two afterward to let the irritation in the esophagus calm down.

I am just quoting the folks that actually have the band - use the search function and check out words of wisdom from the already banded...

:]

I love you, you love me.... EEEEEWWWWEEEE!!! My husband says he is fascinated by the Teletubbies and the little sun... Which is incredibly frightening, since we don't have any kids.... (EEEK!)

He also calls my LBT friends the Krelboines... who knows that reference?

(Go Lisa - ride! ride! ride!!)

Ahh but there are two Mr. Noodles (neither of them talk) and there's Mr. Noodles Sister.

Now Mr. Noodles is the original, you see him occasionally and then there is

Mr. Noodles Brother Mr. Noodles who died a few years ago, they think he killed himself, he's the one you see alot on tv.

I haven't seen Mr. Noodles sister Miss Noodles in a long time. They all do little skits in Elmo's World.

Beanie, tell your DH that there is nothing wrong with watching or liking kiddy shows, I still watch them with my DD... actually its all we watch. I couldn't tell you any adult shows that are on since 2001 LOL (really earlier than that, I lost it when reality shows hit the air waves). Krelboines hmmmmmmm sounds like he's a Trekky lolol.

Lisa have fun tonight at the HODOWN!!! I like my man in just a hat and boots too....(nothing else LOLOL).

Nothing planned for me this weekend, I gotta try to get rid of this cold...

How about you all ?

      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.
