On my way to the gym this mornign with my son at my side!!!
-
The worst part for me was the gas pains. I had to sleep sitting up for the first week. I too got tired a little faster, but overall it was not that bad. I took a week off work because I wanted to not because they told me to. When I went back to work I could not lift anything over 30 lbs over my head. Other than that I was good. Looking back.....it was WAY WORTH IT!!!!!
good luck with your journey.

Thank you all for your sugestions. I am leaving to go on a business trip next week. When I get back, my son has promised to get up with me and go to the local rec center every morning and workout. Im hoping with a "buddy" I will be more accountable to getting up every morning.

Hello,
I am going back to my Dr tomorrow to get a fill. I really feel that I need one. I can eat 2 + cups of food at each meal other than Breakfast. Anyway, that last time I had a fill they gave me 1cc. It was way too much. About a week after the fill, I was throwing up everything. I had to sleep sitting up so that I did not gag. It was the worst experience that I hae ever had with my band. I have to say that I am scared for tomorrow. I dont want to be in the same boat. I know they wont put in as much, but that memory is still in the back of my head. My first dr was awful. I got no guidance at all. This office is better, but I still have never been told how much I have in my band. I am going to find out tomorrow. Anyway, wish me luck.

Ive been banded since 8-09 and lost 50 then gained back 25. Im had an unfill last time because I was so tight that I had to sleep sitting up. It was BAD. I go back in tomorrow for another fill. (less this time). I understand your journey. The way I look at it is that where I am today , even though I am not at my goal, is still better than where I was. Good luck with your journey!!!

Hello,
I wanted to let all of yall know of another outlet that might help. On Facebook, look up your city's buy/ sell /trade site. I get rid of alot of clothes there and find some good buys there too. Lots of other good stuff too all the way from baby stuff to cars. Anyway, happy shopping.

Hello,
I have been banded for 1 1\2 yrs and I want to get to my goal weight of 145. I know I can do it, but I also know that I do much better when I am held accountable. So I am looking for a buddy or mentor.
Thank you,
Sandi

I put my scale away 3 mts ago and it was not good for me. I got back on it last week and I had gained back 25 of the 50 I had lost. So now my scale is sitting out in the wide open so i have to see it. I have been where your at and have felt that way too, but dont let it RULE you. Pull it out and get back on that wagon. YOU CAN DO IT!!!

Hello All,
I just wanted to say thank you for being here. I was banded on 8-4-11 and have struggled this yr. But I am back on track and truley ready to loose the weight I promised myself I would. When I first got started, I used MFP consistantly. I still use the cal counter, but the discussion forum stinks. It feels like a HS page sometimes. Anyway. I am glad that I am here with REAL discussions that help REAL people. Thank you again for being here for me!!!!

I have Jillian's ripped in 30. The workout is 20 minutes, 25 with warm up and cool down. Its a great workout for both cardio and strength. I bought it on Amazon for 6.00 too. And can I just say how amazing you are for getting up so early to workout. That in itself is incredible!!

Agreed. When I hiccup..... I stop eating. Its my backup just incase I am eating for the wrong reasons.

Hello,
I was banded 8-2011. I lost 50 lbs really fast, then life got in the way and I stopped exercising. Recently I have had another problem. I find myself drinking down my food so I can eat more. I hate that full feeling. It is uncomfortable, even when I eat very little. So I want to get rid of that feeling, so I drink after I eat too. Anyone else???? How did you fix it???
