if you absolutly need to eat, try some cottage cheese or yogurt. that has some Protein in it and you want to get as much protein as possible. You will want to stay away from carbs, like cracker and such. I know this stage is tough but the longer ypu can survive on this stage, the more you will lose and you will heal also. good luck!

banded 4/14 lost 35 lbs so far. no regrets at all. was a self pay. wish I would have done it long ago!!!! almost 1/2 way to my first goal. might change it when I get there.

I think everyone goes thru this feeling. I felt like I was going to be the only person to spend 10000 and not lose any weight. But I think that motivates me alot too, I spent 10000 and I am gonna lose weight. no matter what. I have 4 more lbs and I am 1/2 way to my goal. I dont think thats to bad for 13 weeks! you will do great!

good luck getting back on track! I would be sad also if I gained 8 lbs. But you can do it.!!!

congrats! I have three pounds til im there. cant wait to join ya!

You look awsome! But u need to smile! u just lost 30 lbs! Smile I agree also how the mindset has changed. even when I was going thru bad two weeks, I didnt indulge in the white stuff that much. but now that I got my last fill, I cant even touch the stuff anyway congrats to you thee-o!

People ask me why I had this done all the time when they watch me eat because I am always making faces as it may or may not go down. Or I start to eat something, make a face and throw that away and get something else. I say hey, ive lost 34 lbs, if the silly thing wants to be difficult, let it, ive lost 34 lbs! it can do what ever the heck it wants as long as I keep losing:)

I was at target and saw some cute capri rollup jeans and they were on sale for like 11 bucks, so I decided to get them. I went for a size smaller thinking I would get in them eventually. went home and tried them on and I could get them all the way up but not buttoned But it is so close, they are 14's. I was jumping up and down cause I should be able to wear em in maybe 5-10 more lbs maybe. yeaaaahhhh! I think I might hit onderland some this week or next also. I seem to be losing more in my thighs than I usually do also, because I usually cant get on pants and not have them fit around my waist. I have the thunder thigh problem. Anyway, I was a bit happy with my dizcovery

update: had some hanburger and some peas for dinner. Cut them up really small and it went down fine. I think I just need to do extra small cuts right now. I am staying full forever. If it gets any worse I will go in! thanks guys

ive had a couple of those. I just give up and do liquids for the day if it gets really bad. I dont know why it does it, but its sometimes best to give in.

Im pretty sure she put 1 in. I dont think its to bad. I just nibbled on a turkey cheese rollup and it didnt go down to bad. I thought I was going to get stuck but went thru. I think I will give it another week and see how it goes

woo hoo! way to go! I hope the next 10 come very easy for you! congrats

Way to go! keep up the great work!

I went for a fill last week, which I think I really needed. But I dont know if I should get a little bit unfilled. I have lost 6.5 lbs since then, and I am having a little problem getting things down. I dont have problems with drinking at all and I can get stuff down if they are pretty mushy. I have to decide by tomorrow so I can get it as a free visit. I just dont know, I kinda tninking that I might wait as I can get some stuff down, its not like im gonna starve!

im almost there with you! I was at 202.6 this morning! congrats to you! hope you get thete real soon!

when was your last fill, I havent lost in the last two weeks but got a fill on thursday and have already lost 3 lbs. Maybe u need a little one to get things going again! good luck!

I cant wait to lose a little bit off "the girls". I dont think dh is but they are so heavy, ill be glad to see them go

I was already going in there knowing I was not doing what I was suppose to be doing, so I really didnt need to hear more of it. I know she was just trying to help me get on track, but I did feel about 5years old and getting scolded for eating my desert before my dinner She is the main nurse that does the fills, but it would be no good to tell on her because I know the surgeon and he would do the same thing to me. Tough love type thing! thanks for listening

I dont know what stage u are on food wise or whether you have had a fill, but I was the same way before my first fill. Now I cant drink anything during it or it hurts. I have to wait at least 15 minutes for everything to go down. Then I try to stretch it to 30. its hard, because I like to drink with my meals also. Hard habit to break. Just know it might not be possible depending on your fill.

congrats! yup everyday will get a little better. You still may get the gas in your shoulder. That happens about 5days out or so (did with me anyway). But the good news is that means its in its way out of your body good luck! and follow you doc orders on food stuff no matter what!

went in for my third fill today and I ratted myself out. Then she proceeded to chew me out. Its way to early for me to be going off the deel end and im gonna gain all the weight back that I lost. Omg, I should of kept my mouth shut and just had them beleive it was a platuea. I only gained like .75 lbs in the last two weeks. I didnt go totally if the deep end. I know I what I have been doing and I know what I need to do to fix it. Sha just had to ram it down my throat for good measure

Got my third one today. I dont think it hurts at all. Slight poke and then you can feel it tugging on the inside of your belly. Kinda weird feeling. But mine is fairly close to the surface, so I think kinda easy to find. might have mire if a problem if they cant find it easily. good luck!
