Hi Kim! I'm sorry you've been feeling so bad, after every fill my Dr. says I should do a liquid diet of 5 days or a week, I drink ensure, or activia, in the mornings, and chicken broth as lunch, at night I repeat one of those again, I drink a lot of water in between or lemonade, mostly water, when I feel like I'm about to faint lol I drink gatorade but just one. I hope it helps, it's worth it, after every fill I drop 5 lbs in a week

I'm here Linda I on the same boat, I can stop eating bad things, I just too confortable in where I am now, but I need to remember that this is not want I wanted when I when in for the surgery, I'm also not a fan of exercise and I seem to find the perfect excuse every time I get home, I'm always so exahusted. Today is my anniversary, I was hoping to be around 75-80 lbs but I'm still at 60. I hope you feel better, if you want to talk you can msg me

Hi Ladies! I've been stuck in the same weight for almost 4 months; I was getting depressed so I started looking through some pictures, so here is what I found... Maybe we don't see it every day but we have come a long way Happy Weekend everyone!!!

Hi Ladies! I'm having such a hard time, I'm eating all the bad stuff I shouldn't be eating, I'm sure I've gained like 5 lbs in the last month, I don't think I need a fill 'cause I still get stuck sometimes, I need motivation, I'm just too comfortable the way I look right now, I really wanted to reach my goal weight by July, but it seems so difficult at this moment, I'm tired all the time and just want to eat cupcakes, chips, and all the bad foods. Even my husband said that I look fat again he's not trying to be mean, he is trying to get me moving again, but it's not working Sorry for venting, any tips to start over?

Linda that's so great!!! I will love to buy a size 12, I'm still wearing 16 or 14. I want to be at 170 by my birthday (apr. 6) let's see if it's possible

Hello Ladies! Linda I hope you are feeling better. I've been eating way to much this past 2 weeks, no gain but no loss, I'm stuck at 60 lbs but I know it's all my fault, I think I'm just to comfortable in the 180's, need to start eating better and exercising. Remember ladies, just keep swimming

Good Luck Linda

Hello ladies!!! I've miss you all, I thought I was the only here. I ate too much during the holidays and now I’m stuck at 55 lbs. I’m not stressing about it because I feel pretty good about how I look right now, but I’ll like to drop another 10 lb by March, my BF is getting married so I need to look nice, or at least not be the biggest girl in a dress LOL We all should share before/after pictures of this 6 months, to see how long we have come, just an idea. I hope you have a great year!!!

I'm Halfway there!!!! I’m just so happy to share that I just hit the -50lbs mark!!!!! Just keep swimming

Thank you ladies, I'm not taking biotini, but I take other vitamins and I'm want to go to a professional.

I’m having a lot of hair loss, do you think it can get worse if I dye it?

Hello!! I was reading some post here in the site, and I found a post with this book, it's really interesting, I've been losing weight by only counting calories, and this is very explanatory It only took me a couple of hours to read it, so you'll do better than me lol Hope that everyone is Ok Lucía The Last 30 Pounds.pdf

Good Morning!! Kim, it didn’t go well for me, I had my fill on Monday at 7:00 p.m. and I was feeling pretty good yesterday I ate an activia for breakfast and dinner and an oatmeal for lunch, well around 2:00 a.m. today I started feeling sick, I couldn’t breathe and started PBing like crazy, I stayed up all night running to the bathroom it was hell!!! I called my Dr first thing in the morning today and ask him to take out 1cc, we met in the ER and thank God that was over!!! I’m now again at 2cc and still on a 3 day liquid diet, starting again today. Next Tuesday I’m going to the Nutritionist for the first time and I’m going to start taking some vitamins. Kim, I can’t wait to be in the 16s again!! You must feel awesome!!! Linda, Congrats on your weight loss!! And take a lot of pictures I have always wanted to go to Disney have fun!!!

Hello everyone!!! I had my 3rd fill yesterday, so I'm now at 3cc, I'm on a 3 day liquid diet, I don't know what to eat, any ideas?

Thank you everyone!! I'm so proud of myself

Thanks Lynn

Hi Missy I also had my surgery in Mexico, well I live in Mexico, and I’m sorry you didn’t have a nice doctor or someone to go for support, maybe you should look for another Dr. I was banded July 24 2012 and in 3 months I lost 40 lbs, I go every month for check ups and fills I currently have 2cc in my band, I’m doing good but if I wasn’t my Dr. has a team of nutritionists and psychologists that we could see and they are fully supportive, I’m not alone in this and you shouldn’t be either, is there another Dr. in your area that gives fills? Maybe you should get a new Dr, but honestly you need to start making good choices, watch what you eat and start counting calories, the band is a tool and we decide how to use it.

Thanks Kim, now I just want to be in Onederland!! LOL and I need to update my profile picture I'm feeling great today!!

Hi Ladies! I’m so happy to tell you that today the scale marked 200 lbs!!!!! That’s -40 lbs for me!!!! I usually wait 3 days to tell the news but I’m too exited to wait lol I’m noticing a pattern here the first week after a fill I drop 5 lbs and the following 2 weeks nothing and then the final week of the month another 5 lbs, 10 lbs each month. Also I’m back to my pre-baby weight lol it took me 2 years and 7 months but I lost it. I’m hoping to lose another 10 or 20 lbs by Christmas!!! Hope everyone is doing great and stay safe those of you who are affected by Sandy. Have a great day!! Lucía
