I think there are like 6 "flavors"- not just plain hot chocolate. I love them all,  Amaretto, raspberry, mocha, classic, mint, ... etc. If you don't know where to find some locally try.... healthyweightsupermarket in Springfield MO. I think they do shipping?  Good luck. | Thanks but yes I have tried that... I had a whole cup of really warm almost hot Decaf Green tea waited a few minutes then tried to eat and still no luck. It always gets stuck for at least 25 minutes sometimes longer and I then give up on wanting to eat anything until later.

City: New Albany State: Indiana | I finally got my apointment for my 2nd fill! She actualy called me back yesterday. So next wednesday I should get my 2nd. Whew
Cottage cheese has good protein and has always went down good for me. and peanutbutter is another of the high protein things my dr sugests for a "snack" to tide you over.
Could it be your not getting enough sleep making you stressed I have heard that will make you tight too.

City: New Albany State: Indiana | OK my company just had a HUGE lunchion. with steak baked potatoe and salid and desert. then they gave us these wind breaker jackets.
Real nice, right?
Except I should not of ate that much. and the jacket was not the 5X I had asked for on the list but a 3X
BUT! I figure I should be able to fit into it by the time a windbreaker is able to be worn in this weather. lol
OH and I did not eat all of my potatoe salid or desert.
I did eat the steak. lol protein right?
Man I need that fill lol

City: Galveston State: TX | I have had to add extra protein by drinking protein drinks. I have been using 100% whey protein and it's not bad. It helps be feel full and helps keep my calories down.....I am still struggling with the food so I am always looking to see what others are doing for their meals...... | |

City: Seattle State: WA | smilin_apple, I am not banded yet so I don't know if this will work... but I have a friend who is and was having the same problem. She asked the surgeon's office and a lady that was also banded said that if she kept herself hydrated her band wasn't as tight in the mornings.
So maybe try to drink more water and see if this works.

Could it be your not getting enough sleep making you stressed I have heard that will make you tight too. | That is a thought...I know I sleep on average a good 4 hours straight then maybe another 1-2 hours after I take my daughter to school in the mornings. Maybe I need to try to get to bed a little sooner and see if that makes a difference. Quote:

| Question About the Liquid Diets Before
Hi guys... I will be band March 20th... my bmi is 61 or 62 the last time I was checked.
My doctor's sec. said I did not have to do any kind of special diet before surgery. Is this unusual? I've only heard recently about the liquid diet before hand. | |

City: Sacramento State: CA | Where I had my Band done it is unusual...they said if you do either a liquid diet or a 1200 cal a day healthy eating diet before surgery and you lose even a few pounds it helps to shrink your liver so they can do the procedure easier.
Since the telescopic instruments they use to do the Laproscopic surgery are thin it is easier to support your liver to hold it out of the way while they are working on your stomach. I actually got to see them doing a surgery on a video in one of my classes and I could see what they meant about the liver.

| hi guys, any thoughts on renaming this thread? something with BMI 50 and over?
i have been completely unfilled ... 
i was too tight due to TOM and just general stress (plastics is coming up) and couldnt even hold down liquids. not a good feeling at all. i had to do an unfill for my surgery in 2 weeks (!!!!!) anyway, so i just did it. makes a HUGE difference. i havent been 'hungry', but can definitely eat more. going to stick with low carb and see if that helps if i get hungry.

I've been thinking the same thing... is there a way to change the name of a thread or do you just have to start a new one?? It'd be easier to find with a name change. | |

I am sorry to hear about you having to be unfilled I hope your plastics go great I cant wait to see some after pictures. Maybe you could PM me to let me know a ball park of what it is costing you for it. I am interested in knowing cost for when I get there. I better save now though. lol
Good luck with the losing the remaining weight! I am so proud of you. Your a big insperation for me.

Just a thought!

A> I'm all for the name change... I started it... only because I could no longer add to the old thread.. when I saw the "name" I tired to edit it... you can see the edit in my first post only, not in the thread name.
Glad to let someone fix it- it has been bothering me for... well since it started!lol : )
L J Me...Hope all goes well with no fill and PS. | |
