Way to go Judy your Texas buddy is so proud of you! I too know all those feelings now. And to the gal that said she can finally see her HOO-HAW, I can't yet but hope to be able to someday. I am binging today and not sure why so I really needed to see all this!

Smiling from Texas at you girls!

Hey Jazzy,

I went for my 2 week post off today and had the barrium swallow to make sure I didn't slip my band since I had alot of dry heaves the 1st day of surgery. All is well. I had my surgery in Texas at True Results and they told me to start on solids tomorrow and my 1st fill will be 1-9-08 which is short a month by 1 day.

Well any suggestions or comments on this? I see you guys are waiting 21 days before starting solids. I just don't want to mess something up. I didn't get to see the doctor only the nurse as the surgeon is in Dallas.

Just confused and getting hungry.

Karen "K.K."

Hi there! I was lucky and have yet to have any major hunger problems, but here are some suggestions:

* Many times when you think you are hungry you are actually thirsty. Are you getting enough water in?

* I take fiber choice weight management and I know some others so benefiber and other types. If you take them around 10am and around 3pm, it helps between meals.

* Also, it takes time to figure out and everyone is different, but make sure it's not mental hunger. A few times when i've found myself thinking I was hungry, it was due to stress or it was "time" to eat.

* Are you getting enough protein? Focus on protein first then veggies. Also, I do protein bullets and they really help.

As I said I can really eat whatever - nothing gets stuck and I do just fine so I definitely don't have much restriction, but I make sure and follow these steps to help myself along and so far i've done great.

Good luck!
