  1. i go every two weeks
  2. I had my fill in Sept 2011 and i had my fourth fill Monday. all the other fills do not feel like this. I finally feel i have restrictions in my stomach. I ate last night and got really sick. I was embrassed for being sick but now i feel i can gauge how much i can really eat. the last three fills were not like this. I did ask for the Doctor to put more in. i have lost 35lbs so far. My goal is 100.. My B-day is 2/14 and I hope to be in a size 12 jeans. i started at an 16/18..now in 14.. the best part for me is I dont look 6 months PG. I had my last kid 9years ago!! So here is a question I have.. Has anyone had these experience with the 4th fill?
  3. I too am Bi-Polar... Had the band in Sept 2011.. I was freaking on my meds too.. But i dont understand why you had to get off of Seraqual? i just melted my hugh pills in a little warm Water and down it goes. I take three different pills a day. I would ask why is it necessary for u to go off the meds for a lap band?. You should never ever go off cold turkey. You have to be winged off slowly. I got violently ill one time when a so called doctor said i should. Never saw him again. I too am a mom of three and work full time.. (suoppse to be working now) lol So be strong.. And remember Doctors arent god. They are not the know alls .. Its your body...
  4. i was banded 9/21/11 i have lost 40 pounds.. I have had a fill twice. i feel like i can eat more now.. havent lost since before Thanskgiving. i didnt over indulge except for some pie.. But Ive been doing everything right it seems. Im gettin my third fill on Saturday. i think i need to have more in my fill. does anyone had to ask for a few more CC's?
  5. Ouch... that hurt.. But your right... i want this bad.. So i gotta do the right things..
  6. Well i got banded two weeks ago today.. Im on regular food now.. Which is a problem already.. Last night i had 2 eggs, 2 frozen waffles and a handful of chips. got a bad tummy ache.. Im so afraid i cant stop the bad habits.. I drink my breakfast and lunch and im going crazy when i hit the door. Anybody have the same problem? does it get better when you get banded? i dont puke as of yet. Will that change once i get banded? Helpppppp

  9. i HAVE B-POLAR AND IT WAS VERY HARD THE FIRST FEW DAYS. YOU WILL BE SORE AND YOU WILL PANIC SOMEWHAT CAUSE YOUR GONNA ASK YOURSELF " WHY DID I DO THIS". bUT AFTER A FEW DAYS THE REALITY IS WE DO THIS SO WE CAN BE HAPPIER AND HEATHLY AND LOOK GOOD IN OUR JEANS.. ;.)

  10. OMG u took the words right out of my mouth.. Work is hard.. After work i smell everything!! KFC is the hardest... Im having a hard day today with food.. I want to eat so bad but im only 1 wk 2 days into this thing.. My stomach is just like an ache right now... lots of gas.. Did anyone else start pureed food early?
  11. i had surgery on 9/21 and after the pre-diet two week mark that would make 24 pounds.. 75 more to go!!! How do you get through the tough smells of food.. Eating out ECT,
  12. Ok so this is my second weekend without soild food. i did eat a peice of toast last night. Felt guitly as heck..Stomach hurts today.. wonder why.. LOL liquid diet stage still.. I havent gotten sick.. havent pushed the limits.. am I only only one who gets on the scale everyday? Also i see everyone got the tickerfactory.com tickers on their profile. How do you get it from the page to profile. i cut and paste like it says been then nothing happens... Have a ROCKIN day!!! FRIDAYYYYY
  13. Im now in the thicker liquid stage.. And im finding it to be a bland thing. ive ever been a good cook. So any ideas?? any suggestions? plse help!!! ;.)
  14. well its been a hard week... i was upset to see that some said it was the "easy way out". this is the hardest thing ive had to do.. learn how to eat!!! We are program to eat.. And some of us just know to eat bad or too much.. My family loves food. im the only one with the weight problem.. go figure.. Before kids i was skinner than any of them.. Life throws us curves and like any addiction mine happens to be food. Does a person who is a drug addict go to Rehad taking the easy way out? To all my Band bloggers!!! Have a Rockin Day!!!
