Omg I had my first stuck episode last week Ugghhhhh!!!! Horrible. Nothing helps water makes it worse. its my own fault for eating my bf bagel it just looked too yummy not to have a bite but never again and I love bagels god damnit Well ya live and learn girl xoxo good luck

K Ladies I used the middle clasp on my bra today!! I have never used any clasps besides the last clip. I am so excited since I haven't seen the scale numbers go down but this was a nice Nsv. Thought Ide share

Lol I knew you meant feb i found this post under 2012- february haha ya I was banded in feb too and I'm having the same issue. Iv lost 45lb but nothiing this past month. Verryy frustrating. Weights falling off then puff nothing. Damn. I still have 50 till goal but I've noticed im starting to cheat more with snacking and I gotta STOP that and walk outside more to get in this fall air:) But we will all get there! This is just a small plateau you'll get through it. Maybe you need a fill?? Good luck xoxo

Wow that's amazing!! Keep up the great work girl! :)

cheef it up girrll. i smoke almost everyday and im down 40lbs just control your munchies drink tons of water. the band has nothing to with your lungs lol

Yes I drink one every morning. I like the chocolate carnation instant breakfast with some skim milk on my way to work around 7am. It holds me over until I have a snack around ten

I had my surgery on a tues and was back to work that following Monday. I would say I was at 100% 3 weeks where I felt no pain. Hang in there it gets better

I'm sorry meant to write GasX. The strips you put on your tongue like Listerine strips. Life savers guys!

I defiantly wish I brought Gas strips to the hospital. The gas pain was the hardest part for me. I thought it was pain from the surgery but turns out it was gas. Also when I was able to start sleeping on my stomach I would lay face down on a heating pad right on my stomach that helped me soo much to relieve gas. I also found hot liquids like soup or tea helped to loosen and relax the band and cold water or ice pops made it tight and uncomfortable when I was healing. Good luck and congrats on the first day of your new life

I basically lived off Carnations Instsnt breakfast. Chocolate vanilla strawberry are delicious I still drink them 5 months post op. also tomato soup was like a steak dinner to me. Oh and crystal light ice cubes crushed up helped with the urge to crunch on something. Good luck!!

The last week will go by a lot faster hang in there your so close! We all had to do it it sucks but it's worth it. If you can get thru this the band will be a breeze! Good luck Xoxo

Thank you so much everyone =))

Here's one more of me today

Hey guys! Just thought I would share my 5 month before an after pics with everybody. I got surgery 2/28/12 weighing 235 and I weighed myself this morning at 192.5! So I treated myself to shopping and tried on not a 2X or even 1X a frigen XL bathing suit.. Are you kidding me?? I hope this helps someone who's considering getting this surgery because it was the best decision I ever made (tough and frustrating at times yet still the best) I have a whiiiles to go till I'm at goal 130lbs but this is the movitation I need. I feel good, i actually sleep since my sleep apea is GONE and whenever I need support come right to this website. Love my band! Xoxo

Wow thanks every one you made me feel a lot better! Your right I shouldn't be so hard on myself and maybe once a week eat a small amount of something kind of bad. I just wana succeed and be healthy and I was discouraged I couldn't turn down onion rings and I don't even like onion rings?? Lol your so right I'm only human and it's back on track tomoro! So thankful for this site I don't have anyone to talk to bout this so all your words helped a lot
