really?? i have a J&J band and i was banded on dec 28th 2009... when were u banded?

this is what i was waiting for.. i came to read this thread because im on day 22 today. and it was pretty much asking what i wanted to knoow.. buuuuuut. i had a burrito yesterday (tortilla didnt stick) and i ate the whole thing! and i was full for the rest of the day.. but i just realized i ate the whoooole thing! i was so scared! i thought i might have stretched out my pouch or stomach and well i scared the hell out of myself! so i went to sams club bought all my veggies and salmon and tilapia and chicken and ... well u get it.. im starting a meal plan today of portion control and well i realized i can't just depend on the fact that i was banned.. i needed to jump on the band wagon... thanx luv.. i feel better. and determined.

oh wow.. i didnt know this.

thank youu sooo much!

GOSH... im glad im not alone. thanx ladies

thank you.. that helped.

im on day 11 of post-op.. and i know im still healing.. all the glue hasn't even fallen off. so i know im still tender. but, since i went back to work the incision where the port is, hurts a little bit.. it goes and comes but it hurts. i used a hot patch last night and it really helped. is this normal or should i call the occ?

i love zucchini and squash and have been making this soup for years... everyone loves it and even people that do not like zucchini enjoy it. my regular recipe is chunky but i managed to make it creamier.. so the recipe im posting is the one i made yesterday. 1 OR 2 LARGE ZUCCHINI (OR YELLOW SQUASH) 1 1/2 cup NON-FAT MILK (or depending on the consitency you like) 2 breakfast sausage links ( my original recipe uses bacon, but the links are faster and easier to puree and it turns out less chunky. 1 teaspoon of chicken broth powder (flavor) directions: cut my zucchini into medium pieces and boil them in a pot.. at this time i throw my sausage links into a frying pan ( i guess this recipe can do with out them, i just did it this way) and fry then pat all the oil out. once the zucchini is done, i throw it in the blender with a little water and blend until well blended, i then add the sausage and blend that really well too... THEN i put the mix back in a pot and add milk&broth powder and bring to a simmer.. and there you goo.. yummy soup! i hope you guys like it. this is my favorite soup in the woooorld and it really fills u up.

omg this is such great advice! i went to calculate my and signed up for myplate ... and it's awesome.. im starting today. thanx
