  4. I burp a lot too! Little mini ones though. I am down 80 with about another 50 to go.
  5. Be sure to wait a good 60 seconds at least in between bites. My experience is that if you are going to get stuck, you'll know it a little bite before it actually happens. Do not eat in front of the tv, far too easy to get distracted!! If you do get stuck don't panic (like I did the first time!) get up and walk and fight any temptation to drink! That's just my 2 cents
  6. Yes it will. I know for me I was confusing stomach noises for hunger in the beginning.
  7. I am fine otherwise!! I will make another dr appointment...I am pretty covered in black and blue...gross
  8. Hi I was banded in March and recently I see myself bruising way more easily...my hands and legs mostly. Any of you noticed this? Or know what nutrient I may be missing?
  9. Hey guys! I am down just about 60 lbs. I am happy with it, not excersing enough though, mostly because it is too bloody hot here! I joined a gym but they dont open until September. I have had to buy "transitional" clothes, sex life has GREATLY improved, no longer obsessing about food, battling to get enough protein, and learning to adjust to more male attention. There's a little of my journey!
  10. Hi I am interested, I am on Vancouver island bc, nanaimo, my postal is v9t4m9. Any idea how much it would be to ship?
  11. I have two responses...1 for men and 1 for women. Men- I made the decision to get healthy and start really living my life, by ANY means necessary. It so happens that surgery is that means. Women- when looking at my history of being morbidly obese I knew something had to change. I consider myself a very strong woman but consider Oprah. Powerful, brilliant and can afford to have a person chef, trainer etc. If she can't keep the weight off, what makes me be confident I will be able to with help??
  12. Thanks waiting! Expect a request soon!

  14. Hello my fellow march bandsters!!! I need some HONEST friends on myfitnesspal. If ou lose it and mess up I won't judge, but I need more people to help me with ideas and motivation! My user name is CottonBarry
  15. Do you have a recliner? I slept in mine for the first two nights. It will get better, fast! By day 4 I felt like dancing!
  16. Larch, I am down some lbs but that still leaves me at 313!!! Far from skinny!
