I generally eat at home.

Hi All, I am getting so bored with lunch and really need some new inspiration. I am fairly tight in the morning and don't eat much if anything. So by 1:00 or so I am getting hungry, but am having such a hard time coming up with new quick, easy and healthy lunches. I'd love to hear what others are having for lunch. Thanks!

Its just so strange. I had the fill on Dec. 5th and was doing fine. Then in the last few days I am so tight I can't take it. Its been way over a month and just started having a problem. How long from the time you got your fill and had to go to ER?

I had the fill on Dec. 5th, so its been awhile. Of course, I worry about a bigger problem like a band slip. I have had many fills and never had heartburn like this. Hopefully get some answers tomorrow. But I will worry all day today. That is awesome we have the same surgeon!!

I am having a bit of a rough time and need some input. I had an adjustment to my band in December. Doctor added a .25cc. Everything seemed fine for a few weeks. However, over the past week or so my band seems soooo tight. I am having trouble eating all foods and I have horrible heartburn. So much that I can't sleep. I have been taking antacids, but that doesn't help much. Tomorrow I am going back in for a small unfill. My question is....why did my adjustment start out fine and then eventually get so much tighter? Has anyone else had trouble with this? Is this normal/abnormal? Could it be an indication of a bigger problem? Thanks so much for your input!! Jen

That is SO very true!!!

So.....I am at a waterpark with my kids and for the first time in my adult life I can fit inside the intertubes and enjoy the rides. I have never been able to squeeze my boobs in them before. This is a huge deal for me and I am having a great time!!!

This is incredible and so exciting! I can't wait to say I lost 100lbs. 20 more lbs. to go! Very happy for you!!

Thanks everyone for your kinds words! I still have about 80lbs. to go to get to my goal weight, but I know it will happen.

There aren't very many pictures of me, but this really shows how much thinner my face looks! Excited! This is the first time I have posted pics, so hopefully I did this correctly.

Just out of total curiosity....for those of you in the Green Zone, how many calories do you average each day? I realize everyone is different. And I am mainly just curious to see what the average is.

At one time or another I have read on this site about a gland in your body that is affected by the band. I think I read that pressure on this gland sends signals to your brain about being full. I was trying to explain this to someone, but can't remember what this gland is called or where I read it or pretty much anything. Can someone answer this question for me. I want to find more information about this. Thanks...you all are so great!!!

Oh...I have the same problem. It sounds awful and feels weird, but I am getting use to it.

Got my 2nd fill today, so hopefully I am getting closer to the green zone. My doctor told me that everything I am experiencing is normal and that eventually the numbers on the scale will go down. I just have to keep at it. I do hope that this fill will leave me feeling less hungry. Time will tell!
