Weight Loss Surgery Directory

I can eat!

 After a complete unfill, I ate an apple yesterday for the first time in 2 years.  I couldn't tolerate raw apple, peeled, cut into 1/4 in pc at all.  I relished it and it took me about 25 min to eat all the slices, with skin.  
Very excited about this, since fresh apples are so good for us, if we can eat the skin too.

Banded since 2003, maintaining my weight loss and still knowing I made the right choice for me. If you want information on what life is like for a band success, have questions or need help and suggestions on band life, feel free to message me. Otherwise, just read the Lapband Forum.

 

Yeah!!!! The trick (for me) is to eat apples and other healthy foods and keep the crap out!!

I had a tiny unfill about 6 weeks ago and can now eat bread.

So my breakfast lately has been a half peanut butter and jelly sandwich on high fiber bread.
It is a nice change up.

Kath, that actually sounds great! I had half a chicken salad sandwich for breakfast last week.
