I'm 21 and I drink socially almost every weekend I just don't drink soda or anything carbonated. I can drink and take shots and and all is good and I'm losing regardless of empty calories 92 pounds in 9 months. So have fun but take it easy because you're still going to be freshly banded.

I'm concerned about this also, my husband and I are going to start trying soon and I have a sensitive port as is...

Sugar free^ I mean

Chicken broth, jello, crystal lite, sugar popsicles. Hope this helps. Good luck!

I waited 2 days...I wasted no time lol!

Go girl! Congrats!

Yup sounds like you need a fill! Good luck! :-)

I lost 17 in the first week

No I haven't had any problems my band warns me when to stop. It took me a little while to learn to listen.

No secrets lol. Just been following doctors orders, just got my 3rd fill yesterday. I'm going to the gym like crazy spin classes, pilates, treadmill, and resistance!

Only 54 more pounds until my goal!!!

Please tell them. And remember this is for you not for them. When I made my decision to have surgery I was also hesitant but now as I become more closer to my goal I feel stupid for being scared in the first place.. At times they ask me I'd b I'm putting some cream for the scars to disappear, I say no. because this surgery is one of the things I'm most proud of.

Lol, I'll be sure to try that!

Congratulations thats great!!!

Thanks Amanda yes it does help.

Going on vacation next week any suggestions?

I'm from bergen county. I have been banded for 3 months now, lost 51 pounds. Have about 70~80 more to go.

I'm willing to answer any questions you may have

Trust me it will get better. After I was banded I cried for a whole week, I was depressed and in pain. I am 3 months out and have lost 49 pounds..I couldn't be happier with my decision.

So 7500 is a safe amount...?

Seems like a big amount...but I'm desperate.

Sherry it is such an amazing feeling isn't it?

Thanks Karen!!

I'm feeeeeling gooooood!!! -sings jennifer hudson song, lol)- 41 pounds downnn! What an amazing feeling.

You might just be stuck.
