  1. I had a cup of menudo the other day just to take the craving away! It went down fine. I just took small bites and chewed the hell out of it.
  2. I feel your pain. I had a .25 fill this past Thursday and it made my band so tight that I can't keep water down either. I'm going in tomorrow for an unfill as well. I can't wait. I want a cup of tea so bad right now. This is the most discomfort I've felt with the band.
  3. Thursday I had .25 put in my band. All weekend I have not been able to keep anything down. I called the doc this morning but they are closed. I am trying to drink my protein shake but its going down so slow.

  7. I was banded 1/24/13. I'm at 6.5cc. I'm suppose to get a .5 fill this Thursday, but I don't think I'm going to get it. I'm getting full with a cup of food now and I have to remind myself to eat because I'm not hungry at all now. I think I'm in the "Green Zone"! YAY!
  8. Hello everyone! I was banded 01/24/13. Down 35 lbs. Today I decided to dress up but I needed to wear a spanx to accomplish the look. I don't know if its the spanx or band, but I have not been able to keep food down all day. Hopefully when I take off the spanx I'll be able to eat.

  10. Congrats everyone! I was banded 1/24, down 35 lbs! I'm loving the new clothes I get to wear, even my feet have shrunk! LOL! And I love that I don't think about food every minute of the day! Keep up the good work everyone!

  16. Since being banded on 1/24/13, I have a craving for sour stuff such as lemons, sour candy, pickles, etc. Before I was banded I didn't eat sour stuff. Now I drink tea with a slice of lemon just so I can eat the lemon. I hid a couple of my kids sour candy in my purse and I'll sneak a couple of slices of pickles when I can. Where is this craving coming from??? I know it's bad for me and I need to stop eating it. I don't do it every day. I reward myself with only one of the above once a week. But I want the craving to stop!!

  18. I had my first fill three weeks ago. I went back to the gym 2 weeks ago, so I don't know if that might be causing the discomfort around my port area.
  19. Hi everyone, I was banded on 1/24/13. Down 28 lbs, but this week I've been starving! Don't know why. I've only had one fill (3cc's) so far. I can't wait for my next fill on April 1. Also, I'm having a burning/stinging pain around my port. Any thoughts?
  20. OMG! Sex is AMAZEBALLS now! I've only lost 30 lbs, but it sure has made a huge difference. I can't keep my hands off my husband. Thank God my tubes are tied so I can't get pregnant. Can't wait to get a hold of him tonight!
  21. Congrats! You look FABULOUS!
