Hi all i have been banded over a year now an i want to kick up my weight loss. Just wondering has anyone done. Sugar detox? How has it turned out? Did it help? Find if i eat sugar i definitely WANT more sugar items. Any ideas an help is awesome thank u

Bound i am so sorry for all you have been going through. I was banded a week after you i totally understand with having a negative selfbody image. We do get tired of trying so many things an getting no where. Its more than just calorie intake vs whats burned. I had suffered with a "mysterious" condition for years Drs got to the point of thinling it was all in my head. Finally at 28 i was Dx with Fibromyalgia that was almost a decade ago. So in the end as with your port if we know something is wrong trust ourselves an keep going to the drs Other than the port did you have any signs of an erosion? I hope things get better for you soon. If you just need to talk or vent feel free to pm me. Take care

I have been banded since Oct 2011 but finally just got restriction 3 weeks ago with my 4th fill. After this fill there are foods that i just cant have no matter how well i chew before i could eat 1small piece of pizza now not even one bite ground beef nope not now peanut butter nope i love peanut butter today realize even scrambled eggs get stuck. BUT i can still have my ground turkey tuna moist chicken an salad. What are some foods that you can nolonger have?

Welcome Diva!! These are some great gals.

I all i tried to start a group for those of us with fibromyalgia an the band but i couldnt figure it out lol. Heres the thing i have been banded since 10/11 i have lost 25 pounds which is ok but i need to lose more. However with having fibro i find it hard to excersise daily. I work for two days an then sleep the next 3 yup really. I am on so many meds now i had to get one of those daily dispencers which is ok but i am only 38. Not old!! Lol just kidding. I am just frustrated today i guess. Thanks for letting me rant

I have been banded for a year now and am a slow loser but consistant. My hubby has never been over weight but his weight is creeping up on him. I am worried because its all in his waste. He snores alot! But also i suspect sleep apnea (yes im in the medical field). He is 6'3" an currently 245 He LIVES for Pepsi. And Diabetes is like wild fire in his family. So i made an agreement with him if i can lose 20 lb by the new year then he will only drink soda on the weekend. I hope this works

Sometimes we appreciate things when we have to work harder for it!! I know. Getting the band wasnt really hard for me so i had to build that appreciation an know not to take it for granted Enjoy the journey an remember its a learning process I wish you the best!!!

Hi guys thanks. I went cold turkey in March even though my surgery wasnt until Oct. however its funny hubby is super supportive with me even reminding me about eating/drinking and such. He has cut down on his icecream habit BUT... When it comes to his love of soda he does not want to hear it. Ive bought different variations an such he swears he can taste the difference!! However he is a man of his word so i figured this is the only way to make it work I love this site thanks all for your input an help

Ok im gonna be the old mother of the group. Why the rush if you have gone through the eight months AND you will have insurance again in Nov then why not schedule in Nov? Because of the "what if" factor. Granted most likely all will be fine but WHAT IF. I would personally wait but again im a glass is half empty girl. Either way i wish you well

I was taking centrum chewables that left a metallic taste. Now i take One aDay Petites no chewing they are small enough for me to swallow whole

Well thats interesting...

Mine is SS Soul Sister. Shes there for me for think or thin. Pun intened. Love the names

@ starshine i liked the Unflavor the best i would mix it with so many things applesauce pudding yogurt. I also liked their chocolate one

I for the first year drank Unjury only really good! Now its Premier shakes from costco i love 'em.
