  3. You look amazing ! How long have you been banded for? And how much have you lost?

    18 lbs in 7 days.....

    No your not just make sure your getting enough Protein if you can ! Some people are really tight after surgery and through out your journey you will do that where you might loose steadily and then you might hit a plateau and then or loose all of sudden everybody's different but I know that's how I've done through out my journey!!

    Need a buddy/mentor!

    I would love to be your buddy! Your weight weight do some crazy things during the day I always gain 4 to 5 lbs during the day . I would just weigh once when you get up in the morning after you go to the bathroom best time to! good luck on your new journey! I love being banded . Work with the band and it will work with you=)
  17. so i think things are looking up again! starting to lose again woohoo.

  18. im starting to get depressed because the scale hasnt moved in 2 weeks and i go back to the doctor next week ! what am i doing wrong? ive had weights back to my excercise ! i dont know what to do =(

  19. Hello joy how are you just thought I'd swing by and see how you were doing! Looks like your weightloss is doing good! I was noticing that the first post I sent you sounded kinda rude at the end of it said I hope we can't chat sometime lol I'm so sorry I tend to rush when I'm typing ! Hope your doing good.

  20. ive hit a plateau on my weightloss just when im almost there with one of my goals! so how do i get it jump started again?

  21. I've been banded for 4 mths and I've never have had problems with milk I was even drinking milk after my surgery until a couple of months ago I started having problems with it and got sick well I thought maybe I will give it a try one more time and tried some yesterday and took a drink and when it hit my belly I got sicker then a dog! I have no problems with other dairy products just plain oh milk! Is it time to start trying different alternatives cause I love milk it just decide it don't like me? Help please!
  22. I don't think you have anything to worry about ! Your just using muscles you haven't used in awhile! I mopped after I got banded and felt that way and its just cause I haven't used in awhile! But if it continues after a couple of days I would call your doctor!

Good luck I know those insurance people can be a pickle sometimes waiting on them lol but hopefully you'll hear something soon! Keep us posted on your progress!

    Looking for a buddy or mentor :)

    I would love to add you ! I had my surgery dec.29th 2010 . I had my liquid diet during christmas and I'm not going to lie at times it did get hard and tempting especially because I love baking with my kids at christmas time and I still did it and I did a lot of smelling and I made sure I drank one of my chocolate shakes why I was baking so that helped! But I just kept telling myself its going to so well worth it in the end and it has been ! I love being banded . Good luck and maybe all of us can become buddys !
