brokenwings

I have had this same problem the last couple weeks. I have not been doing right and thus have not lost and actually looks like i gained 2 lbs. So i gotta get back on track myself. Have you went to your dr and talked to him. Maybe you need another fill. I choose not to get a fill this last time and now i am 2nd guessing myself on that. I am going to give it 2 more weeks and if i cant do what i need to do then i am going back to see my dr and see what he says.

I was out of touch for a while and just now really saw this and wondered how you did and what you ended up doing. Hope all is well.

I had not been able to get into a size 16 in over 13 yrs I went last week and bought me a pair they didnt zip but i layed them on my dresser and last night when i couldnt sleep i tried them on and YES they are tight and YES i wouldnt wear them just yet but they ZIP!!! and i didnt even have to lay on the bed to get them to zip..... A huge Huge Huge .. NSG for me...... I had to share.

I had my band adjusted on the 17th since then i can only take a few bites of anything. If i take more then that i end up throwing up. I am losing about 1/2 a lb of weight a day. I am so happy with the weight loss but i am also concerned i am to tight. I even have to be careful when i drink as well I cant gulp only sip. I do hope that it just means i have hit the green zone.

I have not experienced that. But i did have a fill bout 2 mos ago and just NOW got where i can eat much of anything. I am due to go back to the dr this month but unless i change my mind don't believe i will be getting a fill. I am ok with getting sick often but it really upsets my daughter that i eat then have to run to throw up. I do contiune to slowly to lose weight. I just thought its been 8 mos since i had my band placed I was sure i would be at the 80 lb lost mark now but instead i am at 66 lbs lost. Which is alot better then i was a yr ago. I think i really need to focus not so much on my goal of loss per month but on the total goal. I am a much thinner person then i was when i started on this journey.

Hi yea i am still losing slower now then i was. I still feel very restricted at times still to restricted. I can almost not eat of a morning. I tend to just drink a cup of coffee. Glad your doing so well.

Glad you have lost 40 lbs and that you have moved past the stall..

I do ok as long as i keep in mind small amounts and stop .. I still get sick if i dont do that. I am almost never hungry. Still eat things just cause i want them. Something to keep working on

Hey Jules Gosh missed seeing you on here. I am doing some better. I just have to be careful what i eat and how much i eat. If i eat something fast or to much it dont stay down. If i eat something that i cant tolerate then it starts me throwing up and it keeps up till i am clear. But as long as i follow the rules and eat slow and stop the first min i feel full and dont eat things with alot of bread etc... I do ok. I have lost 10 lbs since i had my fill.

Hey guys. I seem to be talking to myself. I miss all that was posting here. Remember we are all here for support. I am now 5 1/2 mos out and thus posted new pics ... Think i am going to make it a habit to post every month a new pic so i can see how i am doing. I am still not in love with my pics but i am so much happier then i was with them.

THanks for all the replies. I am happy to say that yesterday I eat small amounts and did not get sick at all. I am thinking it just took longer for the swelling to go down.

I had my 4th fill Oct 17, Only 0.5 cc to bring my band up to 2.5 cc total. Since this fill i can only eat a few bites if i eat anymore then i end up throwing it back up. I have to even be sure to sip instead of drinking to quick. I am losing weight now like crazy bout 1/2 a lb a day. I am super happy with the weight loss but a little concerned. Would love someone elses input.

I set myself a goal of losing 50 lbs by my birthday. Well today 13 days before my birthday i actually hit that goal. By doing so i also hit another milestone that i didn't even think of till i saw it on my ticker. I am now down to needing to lose less then 100 lbs. I am super stoked by this. I did go to the dr yesterday and he asked me if i wanted more fill since i am doing ok. I choose to have one more fill as i felt i can still eat more then i should. So he put in 0.5 cc in my band. I have not had any hunger since he did that. So we will see how that goes. I miss everyone on here. I hope your all doing great.

Congrats. I just hit my 50 lb mark and it was such a sweet victory...

Ty eveyrone...

I had promised myself i would be 50 lbs lighter by my birthday. Today 13 days before my birthday i hit that mark. I also by doing that also hit the less then 100 lbs to lose. I am so excited. I have went from 24/26 pants down to a size 20/18. I can actually buy shirts in the reg department of the store instead of in the Plus size. I can wear x-large shirts. I am so excited i had to do a shout out about it. I feel great and i love my band!!!

I hit the minus 50 lb mark today and i am about 5 1/2 mos out.

Going 6 mos without a fill is fantastic. You have done so well Gotta and so close to your goal. I cant wait till i am as far as you have come. I go back to the dr. wen to see if he is going to do a 4th fill. I stil have not decided if i want one. I have been doing ok but i know i still can eat way to much, but then other times I get sick to easy. So not sure which way i am leaning.

Yesterday i had to go photo a wedding. I figured i had NO dress clothes that now fit me, So yesterday morning i went shopping. I know i must have made the store mad cause well i tried on about everything in the store. I ended up buying a pair of stretchy pants that was a size 18 and a shirt that was a size 14/16 I was excited by that but even more excited by the fact that i tried on some shirts form the NORMAL side of the store...Yea not the plussize side. I found shirts that was xlarge there taht FIT ME!!! I know this sounds silly but no one knows how happy i felt thinking that i could buy stuff from that side if i choose... Next week i am going back and buying those 2 shirts just for ME! I posted a new after pic and going to attach it to this email as well. I for the first time in a picture saw the actual weight loss. On my way GO TURTLE GO!!! I do miss hearing from you all...
