FLORIDAYS

Don't worry yet. You may want to add some Fiber. Get the kind that dissolves in liquid. Works great! And always check with your doctor to make sure it's right for you.

I had 217 lbs to lose and there were still people who are uneducated about wls tell me I should do it on my own. I would just smile and thank them for their opinion. Now that I am as small or smaller then most of my friends they want to know if I will take the band out. They still don't get it so I just have stopped worrying about other peoples opinions.

I was 50 when I was banded. I was normally cycling. I had my surgery ...Then nothing.... I waited a few months..even took a pregnancy test because I obviously am in denial or my age...lol but finally I went to the obgyn and she said the surgery may have pushed up my menopause a bit. Then 16 months later I got a period for 2 days... Then nothing again so I went back to my obgyn and she did all kinds of tests and I was in fact post menopausal.... However she thinks the blending was a result of some fibroids shrinking and breaking down as they do after menopause.
If I were you just keep track and maybe see your dr again for a check up.

LOL its a bad habit I have learned in the past 2 years... I mentally count calories. Geesh who knew I would turn into one of THOSE people!
Best of luck you!

sounds yummy... try the sugar free which is less calories than the fat free.

To share or not to share is the million dollar question.... For a casual acquaintance like that I won't spill about the band as I don't have time to explain that while the band is a tool it in no way is the reason I lost all my weight. Sounds like you handled it well!! Best of luck on your journey!

Last night we went to a local sports bar to watch my team play. (Congrats Seminoles!!! ). We live in a small suburb of the Tampa Bay Area so we often run into people we know. Turns out my 2 adult daughters were at the same place to watch the game. They were standing outside talking to some guys about their ages.... 29 and 32. I didn't know these guys and when introduced they all were like... No way that's not your Mom.... Well I am not disillusioned enough to know I don't look 30 but the compliment was nice.... I asked them why they didn't think I was the Mom and they said... No disrespect but you look too hot!!!
believe me when I tell you my friends... That was worth every single minute of my 22 month losing journey!!! Anyone sitting on the fence.... Commit your life to the band and you will reap the rewards twofold!

maybe the temp change is just ironically timed with needing a small fill

Hi friends.. First time on in a while and see the new format and feel like I am at a new house!!! LOL. Just wanted to stop in and play catch up and see how everyone is doing and skinny you all are! I have been doing well... Still maintaining my weight since I reached my goal last December!! I can't believe I am going on 3 years banded! I go up and down about 5 lbs but that seems to be normal. I will post some pics when I figure out the new site. Look forward to hearing from you!

. Thanks CG..... I think that's the biggest reason people fail.... They do not commit!

the unknown is always nerve wracking .... But read, research and arm yourself with as much info as you can. But most importantly listen to your dr and follow his orders above all else. Best of luck to you!
