30 Pounds later....

Hi all! Wanted to share some before and 3 months after pics with everybody. Take a look. This band journey is a strange thing.:cursing: One day I can eat and the next day 2 bites will do me at one sitting. Throwing up has been more of a common thing than I thought it would be. Still a little bruised feeling at the port site :eek: and have had more gas in the last 3 months than EVER before. :cursing: I go in next week for my 4th fill. And I am going to ask about these issues. Total wieght loss has been 30 pds! :cursing: For once in my life the scale is going down not up!! :thumbup: I'm lovin it! :cursing: Can't wait till the next 30 pds goes away. Then I feel I will REALLY see it! And that's when others will really see the true effects of the band~! :smile2: I had a lot of "bulk" on me and that's the 30 pds that's missing! :cursing: If you have any suggestions or props, let me know. Always love to hear from you. :thumbdown:

hi, what are you eating, sometimes that can give you the gas. the throwing up is not good you should tell your doc, to much can make your band slip, and you dont want that. yes you are losing weight but dont think throwing up is normal for your weight lost. good luck on the weight lost.

I felt this for the first time this week. I am at 5.9cc's and totally happy but yesterday I could not get much down. I did not force it, just went with the flow but now that I think back on it, I was very busy and rushing around with clients. I have heard stress can make you tighten up a bit. Keep tabs on it and report those things to your doc!

Congrats on your 30lbs! And before you know it, you will be reporting another 30lbs gone!
