  1. Nope I couldn't. I was just then movin off the liquids into the mushies :shades_smile: Ask your doc.
  2. I hear ya missy0224 I have this guy I use to hang with and he loved to have sex with me when I was big and still likes to with me as a size 10! He has my heart for that one! Just makes you appreciate them!
  3. OK, here is my deal. I have recently started dating since losing weight. Before I lost the weight I had not dated in years!!! Now I am dating and the men I date are hot! They work out 4-6 hours a day, they have amazing bodies. I am so insecure about my body anyway but when you add them into the mix it is too much. This has happen 3 times now with my last boyfriends. I don't seek them out, they find me. Anybody else have this low self esteem problem??? Its not that I don't feel good about myself, I just dont think I can have a relationship with someone this good looking!! Am I crazy or do others go through it too!
  4. I need an exercise buddy to help keep me motivated. I am going to start jogging. Anyone interested???
  5. I have found that when I do just straight liquids that is when I get the noises. I try to get something down that has a bit of subtance and it helps. A 100lbs is amazing. Congrats. Sometimes, when I don't eat enough I will stop losing weight. I get in that mind set of less food = more weight and that is wrong because then my body goes into hold onto the weight mode :embaressed_smile: Anyhow, goodluck you are doing great!
  6. Been there done that! My doc. gave me a prescription for a med that is a strong maxlox. I take it before I eat 30 min. ahead of time. It helped. It was stomach acid and within a couple of days I had stopped. Plus, at that time he did not have to take out any fill just had to get my stomach from being irritated. Good luck!!!
  7. Thanks for the advice. WEnt to the doc today and he took all my fill out. Said my band does not do well with stress bc of stom. acid. I feel 100% better!! I am so glad to hold down liquids again!! On liquids for another week but at least I am not throwing up! He will refill in 4 weeks!
  8. Ok, it hurts to even drink milk. Then I make this weird noise from my throat. It feels tight like I have a ballon in my throat. I had a fill in Nov. and have been fine. I am under tons of stress right now, and I started a new med that causes stomach problems. When I eat it will stay down for about 15 min. and then comes back up. Do you think my band slipped?? I was going to do liquids for a week and see if that helps. I don't have the money right now to reband or do appts. Any suggestions or thoughts would be appreciated!!
  9. Dr. Collier did mine. He is awesome and so is his staff!! I did self pay and my interest rate was 19% through Capital One. Then I put it onto another card for 5% and it made the payments go down. I think it is worth it! Good luck...
  10. i was a crown and coke girl before but now I just stick with shots. A couple shots and I am good for the night! If I stick with the same shot, I have no hangover the next day. If I do a mix drink it makes me feel yuck the next day.
  11. Yes, I am now a smoker! I had quit 7 years before the band but now I have started back. However, I feel better with the weight loss
  12. Ok it has been since December since I had my band. Am I good to have some drinks now? I really need to visit a happy hour soon! As long as I don't drink and get sick will I be ok? I have been on plan so much I don't want to mess up my band but I need to destress!!!
  13. The laxative work wonders for me. Also, walk walk walk. Good Luck
  14. I would call your doc. about the dry heaves bc mine put a motion sickness patch on my ear and told me to keep it in place for 3 days to make sure I did not vomit. I was a little quesy one time but nothing major. Good Luck and I hope you feel better
