I am figuring it out, slowly.  Sometimes the pain subsides fairly quickly and I try to eat more but then it comes back....obviously I didn't wait long enough.  I find it odd the things I can and cannot eat too.  PLus some days I can eat something and others it gets stuck with no rhyme or reason.  Mornings are now too tight to eat for me too but I discovered a scoop of slim fast in my coffee works as a flavor/sweetener.   THere's such a huge learning curve.  My main problem though is eating so I can taste something....not necessarily hungry but want to taste it.  Ugh.  Some problems the band just can't fix.

do you watch U-Tube, I have a few people I follow who have had the band, they all are from different parts of the country, dif dr's, it is interesting to see their progress,  Not all easy,  very interesting, if you watch them follow them from the beginning so you hear their story.  let me know if your interesting, it would def keep you busy during your "Down time".  oh, Gorham, not too far, maybe we can meet some morning for coffee??  how far is Gray from you, its about 15 mins for me.

I'd love to follow some others.....I read a lot of lap band blogs and it's helpful, mostly to know EVERYONE has issues to work out and no one is perfect.  We should def. meet up sometime.  Gray is probably 20ish mins for me, not bad.  Let me know when you're thinking and we can set something up! 

how about coffee and xmas tree shop in portland??

that would be fun! 

So.....when you get stuck do you do mushies and liquids the rest of the day? 

no, if and when I get stuck it isnt' violent, very easy, but I havn't for months.  you will learn and like I said stop and regroup.  If I threw up I would eat liquids, but i've never thrown up.
