I just had a breast reduction and lift this past week. My surgeon did a lot of suction on the side too. I am recovering so far so good! Love my new girls! May have a TT but need to save and have other household priorities.

My goal keeps chaning I want to get to a bmi of 22 appox 135 lbs. I need to lose my belly fat. I too would like a bikini but i had to wait for my breast reduction/lift which i got yesterday. When i am better i cant wait to go shopping!

I would look at getting a sport/medical clinic do you fat test. I had one done that broke it down to each arm, leg... But if you feel good who cares! Plus muscle weighs more than fat. What does you dr say? Good luck!

I kept it a secret except for hubby, bff & 2 sister-in-laws. Told my family & close friends after my surgery. I have had amazing support & success! Good luck!

I take papaya enzemes and do jumping jacks and walk. Sometimes letting it work through causes swelling to. I then always switch to liquids and purees... I am 16 months out and sometimes it happens with ice cream as i am really tight and the band tightens and losens on its own. They call it the fickle b***h for a reason. Good luck. Message me if you need help. Have a great day all!

Heating pad helps, walking and sleep propped up with 2 pillows. I also find massage helps too. It will pass, mine took 2 wks+.

I can't and don't eat more than 1 cup of food in a seating. I can only eat 1 small leaf and the cheese & bacon from a carsar salad. I am tight and in the green zone. Hope that helps.

I am on my last 15 lbs with a normal BMI of 24 my goal is BMI of 22. Hope I can attack the belly fat and avoid a tummy tuck! I am having a breast reduction/lift on Juky 23. I feel amazing! How are you doing? Wanted to start this tread to share and keep each other motivated.

In Vancouver/False Creek Medical $18k includes follow care, fills, 24/7 nurse support & nutritionist.

This site, my support group from my clinic, my banded friends & family have been my support.

Bread is something I can only dream of. Maybe a tiny bite here and there. I can't even do crackers. Not worth it as I get stuck.

I get that all the time and it is heart burn. Best to do 2 days of mushies & liquids and this can reset your band and calm things down. Kind of like a computer reboot . Also I chew on Gelisul they work great too! Good luck!

It sometimes happens to me. Also allergies tighten me up something horrible. I had the same problem with the heat in Mexico last week and just switched to softer meals and took it slow. Now I am fine. If in doubt always try mushies & liquids and this can reset your band and calm things down. Kind of like a computer reboot . Good luck!

I can't do any tomatoes unless salsa. I have been doing pilates for 2 years. I can no longer weight training due to cronic pain. I love my pilates and it has amazing results. I do 2 reformer classses each week and they are amazing workouts and the benfits are amazing. I have never looked so lean & fit! I feel amazing! Also my back pain is better! Good luck! K

It will be temporary! Don't sweat it! Good luck Cazzy!

So glad it isn't just me!

Bought lots of new clothes! I feel great! Thanks all! I never dreamed I would be on target and make it this far! Never to turn back! Only looking forward!

Call you clinic to check in and ask for advise. I use my 24/7 nurse line all the time. I can email her anytime.

I don't burb all the time but I do it about 4x a day . Love all your posts. I am glad I am not alone .

ipad app chat not working? It use to work and now for the last month I can't get on it with my ipac.

I have this as I am really tight but I also suffer from bad acid reflux pre-surgery. My nurse always has be do 2 days of liquids & mushies. This helps reset my body and the heartburn calms down. I also find as much as I love spicey food I just can't do it as it triggers my heartburn. Banders are not to have spicey food either. I just sometimes crave it. I also take Gelisul when I have heartburn. I chew one immediately & suck on them through out the day as needed. They really help! I would try this before getting an unfill. I too have had huge plateaus as I am close to goal. How many cc's was your last fill? Try breaking your plateau by mixing up your workouts & food routine's. Do you track your food? Sometimes I have gotten to few calories. Stay positive & keep up the great work!

Wow I love to burb when I eat now. Is it because I still am eating to fast? I have to really be aware of how fast I eat. I am really tight & in the green zone. I sometimes burb after every sip of liquids or when I eat. It feels so good? Anybody else find this? And thoughts? I feel like poor manered trucker .

I am a big goal setter but I feel like I am on the last lap & close to the finish line! Then maintaining and pray for no return of bad choices or band issues! Thanks everyone for your love & support!

I go by volume as i meaure everything. Good luck!
