Because i have a good weight loss so i dont need it for now. If im gettin hungry maybe i will get a fill, but for now, im not hungry at all!

Maybe try creating a new group? And so whoever wants to join can just go there and post each day

Hey everybody!
I had my surgery March 19, 2012. I am 50 pounds down and I was wanting to see what kind of changes people have or are noticing
about themselves after losing this amount of weight. I will start with some of my stuff I have noticed.
1.) I have completely stopped snoring. Unless I am super super tired. I don't know if you ever actually never stop snoring or not.
2.) I used to get bloody noses every 1 to 2 days. I have not had a bloody nose in about 4 months.
3.) I used to get a cold or some kind of sickness about once every 2 months. I don't think I have gotten sick once since my surgery.
4.) I can cross my legs easier! They still rub together when I walk but I hear that will go away eventually.
5.) I used to get heart burn literally every single day. I have not had it once since the surgery.
Tell me whats going on with you. I would like to share in the successes with you. : )
P.S. There is one downside... I have had to get my suits tailored about 3 times in the past month. Its getting expensive lol.

So I am new here but my impression is that we are all supposed to try to be helpful and supportive of one another. If someone makes a mistake on info you should correct in a helpful manner and please don't be a grammar natzi after all these posts are often made by phone and we all booger when texting. Trolls are ugly and grammar natzis are rude. If you can't say something nice then go somewhere else to pump your ego ! We are here to help each other!

Jenelle1434, I think a lot of people have this problem but don't realize it. They keep cutting more calories or increasing Protein but still don't lose because they're too afraid to increase calories.
I did the same thing, btw. I was eating about 1000 calories a day, increased to 1100-1200 daily, and have lost another 23 pounds in the past month.

I remember having stomach pain for the first two weeks. I followed clear liquids to full liquids all the way through...but remember your stomach is healing and needs time to adjust. I was banded 2010 (dec). Still learning that you must stay on liquids for three days after a fill (my doctor rules) there's a reason for that...stomach is being messed with. Give it time and see by next week. Hope that help but call your doc

Hi Jim,
That sucks that the website is shutting down. Have you tried www.lapband.com, it sounds similar to the one you were using, you can track your weight, appoinments, etc.
