Makes good sense, that's what I've been doing. Thanks you guys:)

I notice I've had to get an unfill around my period or have hard time digesting meat.

Thanks you guys;) I think my problem is the great meals I cook for my husband and kids and I'm hungry it literally makes me light headed. I'm sure you know how hard it is to see and smell food when you can't have it. I'm going to try the soups , I like the chocolate premiere shakes to but that get old fast like you said! I'm hoping to lose my last 40-45 pounds within the next year, I'm just not rushing. I work with a lady that got banded three years ago that says she lost 119 pounds and wasn't eating properly and too fast and got a ulcer so bad that had to release her band:( she's now 40 pounds heavier than her original weight. She was told she can no longer you the band.( strange story)

I was banded 10/2011, I have lost sixty eight pounds. I'm a slow loser:( mainly because my first year I couldn't find enough time to work out as I should. Now I work out twice a week in a.m and then once in evening. I will say I've had five fills and 2 unfills but that's because my stomach is so sensitive. I have to watch every calorie. I don't lose as much as many banders, my journey is slow. I try not to focus on pounds because it drives me nuts when seeing others lising double than me.This is the first time being on liquids this long because three weeks back they had to take out my last fill plus some because my stomach got so irritated after eating leftovers:( but I'm very happy I did it, it changed my life. I think about everything pertaining to food differently now and i think thats whats important- changing our thinking.Congrats!

Sounds like the hungry , growling stomach will have to do until Saturday;(

I am a 16, if anyone has any they'd like to get rid of

Are they good?

I have gained any weight in the last 6 months+! How do I get motivated again after feeling so disappointed?

My aunts a reverend and Chaplin and their staff is doing the Daniel Fast. Thought I'd try it. Wondered if anyone else has tried it:)

It's mainly for both. I am doing it to see how my body would feel with no meat:)

Ms Chocolate, how often do you weigh in? I'm inconsistent. Sometimes it's every 3-4 days or once a week.

All I know is I weighed last Wednesday on the same scale and was five pounds heavier:( period ended right before thanksgiving:( maybe I should weigh again, lol. Idk, I'm really disappointed in myself because I really didn't think I overdid it too much:)

I'm disappointed in myself and I'm terrified to weigh myself after yesterday. I haven't had that many calories since before I had the surgery. Smh

I went from wearing 44DD to 38DDs but the skin on the sides, under the arms and back make me feel I should wear a larger size. The ladies there said that wouldn't help:(

Small things:)

Thanks you guys! I feel proud and excited! Christmas is coming and I look forward to shopping there. My secret is I've avoided going in there for fear of the eyes since I couldn't fit anything in there. You'll be joining me soon and we will be sharing deals:) thank you!

Well I've lost 65 pounds now and so far I've gotten hand me downs. Is it safe to buy new yet?

How is it I am losing sizes as I thought I would? I thought after losing 65 pounds I'd be wearing smaller clothes. I don't know if I truly didn't realize how large I was and wearing improper sized clothes or what. What's the time line on your size changes?

Seeme1954 yeah that's true. Thanks everyone!

Ok so I'm not crazy! Thanks guys:)

My drooping stomach skins is worse than my arms. Feels unattractive:(

Cool, thanks

I wonder if my stomach was irritated because of my cold because I got my fill on the 18th and I've just started having problems about a week ago. I've been eating soup and protein shakes for the last week:) until today when they took some out.

Ok, when did you eat after your unfill and what did you eat? Mushies? That's what I'm thinking. They didn't give any special instructions. I know after a fill its liquids for two days, then third day mushies, fourth day solids.

Had to get a unfill today because I haven't eaten solids in a week. I'm hungry but I'm scared to eat anything since I vomited earlier
