Hi...I'm a newbie and am planning my new "birthdate" in late Feb, but am starting to freak out a little bit.

Can someone explain to me what the deal is with all the gas talk?? I am reading a lot of info where people are saying they simply cannot eat these things anymore because they get lots of "gas" or the food gets painfully stuck and/or they throw it up all the time. Yikes!

Are we talking both Burping and Farting??? And I cannot figure out physiologically why would the band make u fart???

Now I am a little scared about all of this. I'm a hand therapist (I work with all kinds of hand injuries) and work every single day up close and personal touching patients. Am I going to turn into the "stinky" therapist?

Also, I shudder to think of how attractive I will be burping out the alphabet when I am on a dinner date with someone.

Hmmm.....any HONEST insight? Thanks

I had my surgery last June and I came on today to look for recipes and advice because I am at a stand still. Very discouraged.

However, I do not fart and I only bubble ( no burps) and I get the hiccups.

If anyone has any advice to curb my sweet tooth (hormonal)?

Thanks! Joni

Hi all,

My boyfriend made this soup for me that is out of one of those Grocery Store register isle mini paperbook Quick and Easy crockpot recipe. Well this soup is so easy using Cambells tomato soup cans as a base, and the thickening agent is cream cheese. This soup is so yummy- in my opinion its like restaurant quality with great flavor and texture. I have it in PDF format, so if anyone who like send me a message I will forward the PDF file to you.

Cheers!
