I agree... with the high exercise you need more calories going in. If you have a nutritionist check in.

I really doubt that the band has slipped without symptoms.

Are you drinking carbonated stuff?

Green zone is where you can eat the recommended amount of food and be full until the next meal, all the while losing weight! Some think it is mythical, others swear it is real.

Sounds good so far! Enjoy it while it lasts!

Call on us. We will support you! Where to you live... maybe we have another bandster nearby?

Go for it! I do understand the conversation stopper though. I think it is almost rude to keep it up. But maybe 15x is worth it! LOL

I would have to know how big a meal are you talking? It is not good to skip eating for days. I would suggest consistent smaller meals.

Happy Hanukkah to you as well. Don't ask don't tell works for me! LOL

Sandy, get a grip. It is time to commit.

Not quite Michelin man, but elastic waist would be in order.

Congrats.

Frustrating, but note you HAVE lost 40 pounds! It sure beats gaining!

No clue... that's new one to me.

It sounds like gall bladder.

6-8 weeks is when I restarted Pilates.

I don't have TOM anymore, but I have read here that many report band feels tighter. Probably extra fluids in the body.

Hang in there. It gets better and you will be so thin soon!

Donna... keep a positive attitude. Compare yourself to yourself pre-surgery. Not every little thing can be a downer.

Wow... you have had a tough trip! I hope the new band will behave for you. I had had not problems with mine (knock on wood) for 13 months. My very best to you on you new baby and new band!

Keep the faith. Your day will come!

Wow.. that's a lot of surgery. Hope it works for you this time.

Expect weight gain unless you are very strict to the eating plan.

I told my husband, two closest friends, and 2 daughters. Wish I had skipped the daughters. Not supportive and scared I would die I think. Evaluate your kids... you know how they will react, bif you are not sure of support, skip telling them until after.

Nope... if you are eating when it happens it generally means you are full.
