Thank you for this.... I feel like Im at a stand still. This is just what I needed to hear!

I have taken Ibuprofen quite a bit since I got banded and I havent had any problems..... I would like to know also what they say about it.

Name, real or screen~ SOON2BSKINECHICK Goal weight for September 29th~411 Weight on September 1st~426 Age~30 Dietary goal for September~ EAT MORE PROTEIN Exercise goal for September~ EXERCISE AN HOUR A DAY Personal goal for September~ DONT GET SO MAD AT MYSELF Date banded~ 09/09/2011 Total weight loss since banding/pre op diet~85 What is your favorite Fall Activity?~ DECORATE!!!!

I too did this so I could have children.... we have been trying for 5 yrs and I got the baby blues so Im hoping next year is our year!

Its everyones choice on what they do but I know that I will tell the world if they let me!!! I kept it quiet until I knew for sure that I was going to do it then once I knew it was for me, I told everybody!! lol... I look at it this way... People judge me for being fat so why wouldnt I want to let them know that Im doing something to get myself in shape?? If they have a problem with it then thats their fault! I used to think that getting the lapband was the "easy" way! Boy was I WRONG!!!! You still have to work at it. My husband and I got it done the same day so that is a huge help! My advise.... Who cares what people think.... we have to live for us not them!!! They look at me when im fat so I hope they look when Im looking fine in my skinny jeans!!! lol Good luck with your journey!!

I just turned 30! Way to go on the weight loss.... I was banded sept 2011 and I have lost 70. In about a year hopefully I will be ready to have children.... Im ready now but my body isnt! lol

I am feeling the same way. It is really hard. I try to stay positive but you cant help but have those days where you just want to cry. I just turned 30 and my husband is 32 so my clock is ticking!! He says he will love me whether we have a child or not but I know how much he wants to be a daddy and it kills me that I cant give that to him yet. Keeping my hopes high and trusting in the lord though!

If they care about the band that much to not date you then they arent the right people for you! Its not like its a disease or something! So what if you can teat certain things or eat alot....they should be happy! The less you eat...the cheaper the food bill when you go out! lol I say tell him and if he doesnt like it then you know it was not meant to be!

Yes it does... it feels like I have water sitting in it. It usually happens when im at work or in the evenings when I get off work!

I was banded in Sept 2011 and I have lost 64 lbs. I am at a stand still right now. I have a 14cc band and I am at 10 cc now. I have restriction(some) but I just am not losing. I am getting very frustrated. My Dr put me on adipex to see if I can get jump started again. I really hope this works because I like the feeling of losing but just not getting the results I wanted. Also it makes me feel like crap when family members say " Well I know someone else who had the lapband and the weight just fell off them, why arent you losing?" Makes me feel like im not doing good enough! Anyone else having a problem?
