goal_will_be_met

Thank you that helps alot...I am gonna check into that...cause I do feel that I have to have control of everything and I just can't take it! lol I need to sit back and let things just roll.

Do you think that emotional baggage can set you back on your weightloss? lately I have been trying to find ways to let petty things go such as being annoyed that someone isn't doing something the way I do it. Its not even me! I am not them and they aren't me so why do I care so much? I am not sure how to let it all just go and not compare myself to others or critize others. I am no better than anyone else and we all put our pants on the same. I just gotta figure out how to let it all go...I guess I should join a support group...Its so hard finding ones out here and the one they do offer from my doctors office I always forget or when I do think about it ...it is too late I will figure this out....just gotta worry about me and my family and that alone.

Thank you to all of you! I am trying really hard and everyday I feel more and more better! Hope all of you are doing well!

I haven't been on here in a long while. I lost my dad to cancer this past November and then delt with the whole flu...I just haven't felt much like doing anything. I haven't lost anymore weight but I haven't gained either. In fact lately I have been so on board that I am trying to find good easy fast ways to lose weight...When in fact there really isn't much to it. Just healthy eating and exercise. I hate exercising because its not fun to me and it hurts...I have to remind myself that if it were easy everyone would do it. I am trying to get better with my food and have been doing well...I am still having a hard time getting enough calories in. I am drinking and eating every 3 hours but Still not enough...This weekend I plan on buying more veggies and fruit..Time to get real and time to quit feeling sorry for myself. I am ready for this and have been. I shouldn't stop because my dad wouldn't want me too. I wanna do this because this is for me no one else.

Thank you!!! Hope your well!

Thank you...I called my doctor and after describing things to them they told me to Try a few things because it sounds like I am just eating and drinking to fast. Which I'll admit I don't pay attention like I should...Today has been wonderful ...but I have to let them know soon if I need any help...Mari...how did you know your esopogus was stretching? Thanks for all your help

I wanted to say You guys are Amazing! I am so happy that I have this site to turn too because you all helped me so much!...I ended up calling my doctor and then I was fine its strange...I had my fill a week ago and I was fine but yesterday was strange. I also told her how much I hate mornings and she told me to drink warm water or tea so I drank warm tea today and wow it really helped. Anyway thank you all and they are keeping an eye on me cause I may have to go in and defill...Today so far so good! :wub: I hope you all are doing great!

I also went to the forum but figured I'd put it here ...I am not sure what to do... I am not sure if I am in the green zone or too tight…If your in the green zone are you able to just take sips because to big of a drink hurts going down or comes back up? Same with food. What about gurgling…do you gurgle after each drink even water? I also burp a lot with water when I didn’t before I am just not sure if I am good or too tight…help!

I never thought that I could be on the verge of meeting my ultimate weightloss goal. I was just doing some thinking and realized that I am about 35 pounds away from my first goal and 51 pounds away from my ultimate goal and for the first time ever I can honestly say that I am going to get there and I will succeed. I have come so far this year to stop now. Even tho we have up's and down's that just gives you all the more reason to really concentrate on you! This last week was really tough for me but I also realize it could have been way worse then what it was. For that I am very grateful. It also just gives me that extra push to really get myself even more in shape. I know that I can do this and I want it even more. I need to take some pictures of me now and post more. I feel great and I don't even know when the last time was when I was this small. Its been along time that is for sure. I am so proud of myself and everything I have accomplished. I feel that great things are still in store and I just gotta keep positive because its gonna happen. In other news I wanted to lose 10 pounds by Aug 1 because we are going on a trip and I am 2 pounds away from that goal! Very proud of me! Thats all for now :wub: :ph34r:

Aww thanks X! and Thank you all..WT you will lose that much you got this! This place is great to come too as well for support Wish you the best!

Hi to everyone I just wanted to stop in and say hello. My name is Kanda I am 31 married with one son. I was banded in Oct and have since lost 71 pounds. I am very happy with that and just love this site. I am looking to meet others thats going thru what I am. I can't tell you how many things I have read has helped me on here and its good to know I am not alone! Anyway I hope to meet some new people and talk to you all soon. Have a great day!! :wub:

Hang in there girl! It sounds like your doing alright for what your going thru. I completely understand how you feel. It always seems the hardest when all of a sudden you can't have something. Keep your chin up you got this!

Congrats!

Whooo Hooo thats great news!!! Happy to hear it

Whoo HOO way to go girl! you look fantastic Congrats!!

I am so sorry to hear that! Hang in there and I hope everything works out for you!

I can say from experience that I haven't gained any weight and I am on them....Def consult your doc to be sure if you feel like your gaining maybe they can switch it up for you. hope this helps and good luck!

As long as your following your doctor's orders your fine. And how you feel is very much normal and your going to be fine. We all tolerate pain differently and I can tell you I am HUGE baby but I barely even used any pain meds which is HUGE because I thought I as gonna be hurting like crazy but I didn't. I went home the same day of my surgery and here I am doing fine. Hang in there and it will get better!

HEHE I love that show! Thanks this def made me feel better hehe

You got this girl! I so understand your frustration but I bet in no time POOF and you'll be wondering where that fat went ...You look great now btw!! Keep up the great work

I went in for a fill today and normally it doesn't bother me getting the fill but today when I got that needle poke it hurt bad and then I bled like crazy! This isn't normal and like I said for a person that is terrifed of needles fills don't bother me so not sure what happen there. The reason I went in for a fill was I was to tight then I had fluid removed was doing great then I got a piece of food stuck and puked it up. In turn caused me to swell where drinking water caused me to gurgle and burp every time I took a drink. So they removed some fluid Now I am not feeling well not related to the fill but getting in a hurry I drank to big a gulp and ugh that didn't feel to great going down. Why is it that when we go on a liquid diet for the day of and after is when I want normal foods that I wouldn't eat anyway. ICK makes no sense...oh well guess I am just gonna sit here in misery hoping that its just allergies and not really anything else...hope everyone else is doing good

hehe thanks Sunshine!

awww I am sorry hon maybe there is another doctor for you! You have come so far! Chin up if there is a will there is a way and I bet you got the will!! Wish you the best
