Congrats!! U look great!! Keep up the great job

Thank u!!!!! Trying that tonite!! That's what I love about this site and everyone on it!! Thank u again ))

Pain in upper abdominal area.. Dull, burning pain and was unable to stand up

Thank u for the advice... I will try that ) got my rx filled and feeling much better thanx to medications

No alcohol lately but I have taken Motrin for headache. Band seems to be great no vomiting, nausea or any problems. No trouble with acid reflux just confused where this is coming from.....

Diagnosed with gastritis today... Anyone else had this complication? My stomach is so sore. Interested in hearing from others

U know I never thought about that... Great points! It just seems like that is consuming my every thought and moment. I was banded 4/19/12 and have lost 80 lbs. I go to the gym 5 days a week and I feel hopefully for my future. I just don't want to start something I can't do for the rest of my life. Maybe I will just use myfitnesspal as needed....

I have decided not to count or log calories on myfitnesspal... I got this surgery not to diet and calorie count but for a lifestyle change. And realistic I will not be able to count calories for the rest of my life. I need to know I can use this tool and be successful. Anybody else tried not to calorie count and how successful was u???

70 pounds down in 7 months!!! Feeling like I have my life back! Went from couldn't walk to my car to working out everyday!

Congrats!!! Great achievement!!!!

Thank u everyone... I have learned this truly s lifestyle change and I'm going to take it one day at a time!! Happy Banding

Thank u!!! Hasn't been easy but worth it!!

I am so overwhelmed for the first time in 8 years I am below 300 pounds!!!! Words can't express this joy!!! Felt so good to see a 2 on that scale!!!

No best decision I ever made. It has been a new lifestyle change but I thank God everyday I made this choice

I have a dilemma... Went to dr and she said the amount of Excersise and calories I consume is actually putting me in starvation mode??? Ain't we suppose to Excersise??? I started out walking 2 miles daily on treadmill then I added Zumba 3 days a week.. I lost 17 pounds in a month. I keep my calories 1200 or below and use my fitness pal... Well this last month I started kickboxing twice a week and Zumba three times a week and also a cardio/ weight class ( ripped) twice a week and still walk 2 miles daily on the treadmill and I didn't lose one damn pound?!!! I'm working my butt of literally and still staying with 1200 calories or less. Fitness pal says I need to have 2000 calories for my weight but that's too much and the dr says be patient????

You know I told only people I care about because people tend to think we took the "easy way" out but after 5 months I can say this is one of the hardest things I've done!! I work my ass literally.. I workout 6 days a week and stay under 1200 calories!! Zumba, kickboxing, and walking 2 miles a day!! People think since we have the surgery the weight falls off 5lbs daily... I wish!!! So now I keep it private! I have learned... Opinions are like buttholes.. Everyone has one!!!
