  2. I was banded Oct 07 2011. I have had 3 fills. However before my last fill i was finally getting i to my green zone. (i think) however my doctor gave me 1cc more of a fill. BUT now im hungry! I can eat more than i have in a while and i dont stay full. Will my body recognize this last fill. Or did i mess up?
  3. Just get better. Its all water weight
  4. Also Unjury is good. Online or at some pharms
  5. Patriceaa... LOL aint that the truth! I love my scale now
  6. Yay!! I used to drink soda but to get ready for my band i stopped. That was back in March 2011. An honestly i dont miss it at all. Keep going it gets better.
  7. I too had looked at surgery one time an then put it down for two years. In those two years i gained more weight. lost my dad to obesity my sister had gastric done an did well (but i am nervous of that one). So i bit the bullet an was banded onOct 2011. An iamso glad i did. I will never look back i LOVE my band

  10. ((hugs)). Sometimes its hard letting go of the past
  11. Thanks all - i just got my fill he added 1cc. Hes very conservative but he said since i had lost 8 pounds in the 4 weeks he want to keep it going. So ok we will see how i do this 4 weeks
  12. I have 3cc in my 10cc band had my 2nd fill 4 weeks ago and i am finally starting to see the difference. But im scheduled formmy third today. So im wondering will i keep Feeling the difference or is it stable an i can get my 3rd fill? How long do you keep feeling your fill?
  13. Oops meant to say "could very well be your restriction"
  14. Research is crucial. It keeps us from making split second decisions. As far as meat that xould very well be your restriction and maybe you just havent been listening. An "cheating" by eating slider foods. For me to eat meat it has to be moist too but i dont use sauces because most of them are empty cals. I baked chicken closed up in aluminum foil to keep it moist. Fish is pretty easy too. I hope you find out what works for you
  15. U def. over did it. If u had surgery on 12/19 then u are still in your second week. Fluids only. No solids or meat. Sorry. Go back to fluids let your pouch heal. The blood could be from irritation from vomiting but if your worried then def call your dr. Hope you feel better soon
  16. Causes, incidence, and risk factors After you get chickenpox, the virus remains inactive (becomes dormant) in certain nerves in the body. Shingles occurs after the virus becomes active again in these nerves years later. You need plenty of rest fluids an ur medicine. I understand the sugar concern im a low carber too. But the amount wont be much an you WILL recover quicker taking it. Hope you feel better soon
  17. De. Love ur quote its like mark twain. "if we do what we always did. Then we will get what we always got". Hmmm . Joel 92!!! Omg great job. See guys its all in our attitudes
  18. Thanks 2b. I've lost now 20lbs. Im happy with that so far. Im going for another fill monday so that should help. I am actually a low carber now AND i count my cals. I try to stay between 800-1000 cals daily and get all my protein in. Somedays r easier than others but i keep trying. Im currently upping my workouts. But i try to "listen" to my tool. When i do that an log my food i do well.
  19. Great topic I LOVE my band. Its awesome im finally getting somewhere on this lifelong journey!!
  20. So funny i have plantar facitis my podiatrist kept saying its because of my FLAT feet an the fact that i work in a hospital on my feet for long hours. But true my feet never hurt like this until i got SO heavy. I hope this will go away with the weight to
  21. With my healrh ins. I had to do 6 months weight management 2 nutrition visits a phys visit and have a bmi of 40. What to do in this case is to always get it in writing. Call the ins. company ask for the specifications for this procedure and to send them to you. But be careful usually if its to good to be true it....
