I love to eat salads, but I love to have ranch dressing all over it. What do yall use on your salads to make sure you don't get stuck???

You sound swollen, I would try a few days of liquids before I went to get a unfill. Good luck.

Checking in for my last weigh in for the challenge. It has been a big challenge with Christmas and sweets being involved during December. I had a hard time staying away from the pecan pie, lol. I did have some left in the fridge, so I chunked it last night. I am at 160.8, so total loss for the month of December is 3.6 pds. Stupid pecan pie, why do you have to taste so freaking good!! LOL

Mine sticks out also. I was banded in March 2011 and have lost a little over 70 pds. You really can notice it when I am laying down. It looks like I have a little alien wanting to come out. LOL

Checking in for this week. I am a few days behind, didn't have time to put my weight down on Tuesday. I am at 159.8 today, not sure exactly how much I am down since last week. Total weighloss so far is 74.2.

Weigh in time!! Didn't do much this week. I am at 162.6, so I am down .2 pds. Not much of weight loss, but atleast it isn't a gain. :-) Good luck everyone!!

Weighed in this morning, I am at 162.8. That is a loss of 1.6 pounds. Still have about 30 pds. to go for reaching my big goal. Its a slow and steady process. Good luck everyone!!

1. Has anyone used Clomid? we used it twice, the first dose wasnt strong enough, so she upped the dose and it worked 2. Does it come in a generic form? It does, the generic name is Clomiphene. 3. What drugs/pills did you use? We used clomid We did a iui, a shot to trigger me to ovulate. The clomid did work. We have boy/girl twins that are about to be 4 on Dec. 14th. I have had pcos for about 11 years. Its weird, my periods completely stopped coming. I have been banded 8 months now and lost 70 pds. My periods are back to normal, coming once a month. Its so weird what the extra weight does to your body. Good luck on ttc. If you have any ?'s please feel free to contact me. Tammy

On the concoction he told me to put it in a little medicine cup and take the whole thing. So a little bit of a coke wont hurt. It will just be there to help whatever is stuck to dissolve.

Name, real or screen~tammy (tammylee205) Age~32 Weight on December 1st~164.4 Goal weight for December 29th~155 Dietary goal for December~Eat more of a balanced meal. Exercise goal for December~Exercise 3-4 times a week. Personal goal for December~Keep house clean for unexpected company. Date banded~March 28, 2011 Total weight loss since banding/pre op diet~70 pds. One thing that has improved with your health since banding Im not taking blood pressure meds and not taking diabetes meds anymore.

Ok I am feeling much better, after a few hours and a few trips to the bathroom I am doing much better. My lap band was really kicking my butt yesterday. So I am on liquids for today to help the swelling go down. Thanks goodness didn't have to drink the concoction my dr. told me about.

I think I got some shrimp stuck while I was eating lunch at work today. I had some leftovers of shrimp alfredo. I keep pb and getting sick just the slime. I think I may have to drink the concoction my dr told me about. Lemon juice, meat tenderizer, pepsi. I need something to make me feel better, I can't stay in the bathroom at work all day.

Ok this is my last weigh in, I am still at 165. So a total loss of 7.4 pds. I didn't hit my goal of 10 pds. for this challenge but I came close to it. I have 35 more pds. till I hit my goal, YEAH!! Its getting closer but I know they are going to be harder to loose.

Weighed in this morning at 165, that is a 5.4 loss. I have been sick with a bad sinus infection, so I know that has contributed to so much weightloss. I am 2.6 pds. away from reaching my goal. Everyone is doing so well, keep up the good work and do not over do it for Thanksgiving. Everyone have a great Thanksgiving.

I showed the Dr. when I went to seen him and he said he would have to go in and tack it back into place. Its just came loose a little so I can move it with my fingers. But now its getting sore, I wonder if its from the port moving around so much and maybe bruising whatever it may be touching. Has anyone else had this happen? I am going to the Dr. next week for a check up, so I can say something to him then.

I think that was nice of your dr. to say something to you. I really wish my dr. would have suggested doing the lap band to me years ago. I had the high blood pressure, diabetes, and sleep apnea. I was 30 at the time when I found out I had all of the health issues. Today I am down 63 pds and don't have any of those things anymore. If the dr. knew me loosing weight would make me healthier, I wouldn't of been offended by her trying to make me healthier so I can do more stuff with my family. Instead of her suggesting wls, she wanted me to go on another diet that the hospital was doing. I needed something permenant, not just a quick fix. Good luck on your journey, and be sure to do your homework.

Weigh in this morning is 170.4. I am down .2 pds. I need to work out more to get this weight down.

Weighed in this morning. I was 172.4, this morning I weigh 170.6. So I am down 1.8 pds. Yeah!!

About 10 years ago I had a breast reduction. I went from a DDD to a large C cup. They took 10 pds. off of my chest. Well now after loosing over 60 pds. with my band I think they look like sagging skin. My gyn told me of a procedure they have now called a skin revision surgery. I have thought about having this done to my breast on my scars and get a lift also. I would like to get something done about my tummy from having three kids also. Do you know of anyone that had the scar rivision surgery, if so how did it go?

That is the first place I lost and everyone could tell was in my face. I am having a problem loosing in my lower tummy from being pregnant 3 times and my upper thighs.

:Banane09: Oh I have a great one!!! Hubby and I took the kids trick or treating for Halloween Sat. While we were walking around we ran into his ex-girlfriend from high school. Yes we are high school sweet hearts, so she has always know what I looked like. Well she told him that I looked gorgeous when she seen me the other night. I am 7 months banded and down 62 pounds. Yeah!!!! I have about 40 more pds. to go.

I am glad you brought this up, I am the same way. I was banded at the end of March and have 6.5 cc in my band right now. So far I have lost 60 pds, have about 40 more to go. I have learned since my last fill I cannot do anything for breakfast. It always feels like it gets stuck in the morning. I have been only drinking a protein shake and coffee in the morning. Then try to do something light like tuna, deli turkey, or chicken breast for lunch. Then at night I have to stay away from breads or anthing like crackers. They fill me up and I don't want to eat my protein. I enjoy the restriction that I have now. I am suppose to be going back in Dec. to see him. He might be wanting to put some more fluid in, but I am afraid I might be to tight then. Good luck

Ok I had another fill last Thursday and now at 6.5 cc. I am confused to when am I full, I think I am eating past the point of being full. I havent gotten sick yet, but it kind of feels like I have something stuck for a few min. then it goes away. How do I know when I am full, any kind of input would be helpful.

I was banded on 3/28/2011, and have lost a total of 55.8 pds. YEAH!!!!
