    I have a 9cc band, which is the smaller of the two sizes when banded in Canada...I have had 3 fills, total 5.5 cc in my band and I have done very well...when you get a fill, ensure that you get a good one!! Good Luck!!

    That's an amazing story Jann...believe me nothing is more embarrassing than having to ask for a seatbelt extender and being sandwiched between two strange men and my thighs/butt touching each one and there is no way in h*ll I can do anything about it. Not to mention the arm rests only coming down onto my hips, as I did not fit between them. I am hoping by March when I fly to the Bahamas, I won't need a seat belt extender and will fit comfortably between the arm rests. Thanks again for posting a very important post!!

    Hi there...I know...it's hard to find a really good protein shake...you can make your own...skim milk, fruit and protein powder. Add protein powder to your liquid yogurt or creamy soup...that's what I did...I didn't touch a shake after pre-op for 5 months...bad memories!! LOL!! Good Luck!

    I think the state of the economy is affecting everyone..even us Canadians. The automotive industry in Canada is huge and is being seriously impacted by what's going on all over the world. I am sorry to hear that you have more people on welfare than before...that's tough...but the positive thing is..you have your job and are needed there more than ever to help those in need. My hubby and I are very lucky, we work in essential service industries and no matter how bad things get, we have our jobs. Good luck to everyone!!!

    It's perfectly normal to have doubts and what ifs...when I finally booked my first consult, I ate everything insight, thinking it was the last time. Honestly...a month or two from now, you will be telling us it was the best decision you and your hubby ever made...I guarantee it!! If you are committed to the lifestyle change and getting healthy...you will do great!!! Take care and best of luck!!!

    Really??? It's high in protein, I usually only eat half or take the fish off the bun and scrape off the tartar sauce...I would have thought it would be better than a greasy burger??

    My first fill appoint was 4 weeks post op..generally first fill is 5-6 weeks post op...during the first 3 weeks post op your body is still healing from surgery. Who told you to get a fill then? Your surgeon?

    It could be heart burn or gas?? If it continues, call your doctor. Feel better!!

    I just love turkey...but hate dark meat...so I do eat the white meat, it's dry, but I dab a little gravy on it or dip it in bbq sauce and yummy. I cook a turkey roll every weekend and eat the left overs for days...my favourite. Happy Turkey Day everyone...we had our Thanksgiving here in Canada on October 6th.

    You are probably just fine...but a good scare will do you good!! The post op diet is set out for a reason..your band needs to heal into your stomach and if you start eating solids too soon, you can jeopardize this and risk band slippage in the future. Get back on track and no solids until you are supposed to!!! Here's your kick in the butt buttercup!!

    That is the best NSV ever!!! Good for you!!! I didn't realize it got that cold in Florida that you would need a winter coat? We sure do need one here..it's -9c today!!! Keep up the great work!

    Hi Taz, thanks so much...you are great!!! It has passed!! The scale moved down a pound this morning...I was patient and continued on my high protein diet plan, had a filet o' fish for dinner as a treat and boom!! I have also been adding ACAI to my diet as well. It's an all natural cleansing chewable pill. Seems to work!

    Hi Jo, I am so happy that all is going well and you are feeling good...you are more than welcome as well. I am so happy that Karen was able to bring us together and we able to go on this journey together. I look forward to seeing your progress in pictures!! Take care my friend!!

    I took Tara's advice and went to McDonald's for dinner and ate 1/2 filet o' fish and a few fries..I doubt this is going to get me over the plateau, but it was good!! I am going back on creamy soups for a few days and increase my exercise and see what happens!! You guys are the best, thanks for your help!!!

    I agree with the others and if you are able to eat for the most part and there are certain foods causing problems, they maybe problem foods for you. I cannot eat corn, I avoid it. I cannot eat anything with a skin on it, such as beans. Everyone has their own group of foods to avoid. Ensure that you take really small bites and chew well and you will have no problems with extra saliva or sliming. It's retraining the way you eat and it takes time. Good Luck!

    Yes Tara, I work out 30 minutes per day on gazelle...I guess I need to increase that burn more calories!!
