your aren't eating enough. counting calories work well for a lot of us stay 1200 or a little less and you should feel strong and healthy your body works off calories you need them. myfitnesspal is a great tracker give it a try.

sound like acid reflex call your doctor u could need alittle taken out for awhile. the band should be in the center of your chest so not sure whats going on on your left side so do call surgeon

only your doctor would know I would think

4 cc/10cc band and 1.5cc 6wks latter 1cc 4 wks later and it was perfect for me

excieted for you set out your heating pad its a real comfort

the guys are right. I found that the band helps y head hunger and I didn't get that until my band was alittle over half full it then that it became a real tool for me. You and your doctor will work out what is best for you its more about how often ypu hungry and how much food it takes to stay on program its still a diet no matter how you look at it..good work so far

call your doctor and start with his help no other way to start u don't need another surgery just support and problably a fill or 2

it will be a while before weight loss you have to heal first then you work on how to do it then fills are done every 2-4 wks till you get to where you aren't hungry for 4-5 you have a ways to go you need to read that part also.

the green zone for me did cure the head chatter about food and I charted the times I wanted to eat for two month and now I plan on a snack at that time. hope that helps soome

so true but good for you and the work you have done. isn't fun losing weight now when it actually works and the weight comes off.

wow glad u are feeling better u must of lose weight durning this time also how much

doesn't sound band related but call your surgeon as you regular doctor will not know what problems the band can happen so call both and get it check out ASAP.

do talk to your doctor about any of concerns even this one

so excited for you wish this had been around when I was your age...have fun

good receipt on the back of the bag...hely the right food is better then meds I thought

I agree age and length of time being heavy shows in me for sure I didn't plan to wear no sleeves or shorts so I am ok...just want a smaller size and lower numbers and better dancing. Good luck

I have had this problem from the beginning but recently found a cure.....home made lentil soup high in protein and fiber . I put it in one cup baggies and freeze it and use a couple of times a week. Hope this helps others.

put your protein in your mouth first before eating anything that way no matter how well you chew it will stay in the pouch for awhile then finish the rest of your meal. A full feeling is not what you trying to get to...not hungry or the head telling you your hungry for 4 hours...and drink plenty in between meals the body will read dehydration as hunger and track and time your meals all this helps me hope it will help you.

tracking is so important I found that and when my fill got to just over half my band size put me in the green zone (10cc band 6.5 cc in it) it turn off the endless "go eat this or that" tape in my head and i loved that I got sick and had to have all thsat taken out and now I know what the band does for me its turns off that tape I am working my way back up and look forward to getting there again it has been hard but I have maintained..track you food and keep working with your doctors group of people it will all come together for you but it takes work but the rewards are so worth it.

same thing happened to me resently and I had to have it all taken out get my second fill today it has been hard holding on but I have...good luck to you and pls let us know.

wonderful picture you did a great job.

OMG you did a great job what a difference its very incourgaging.

at the very least call and talk to them about it

they will disovle so not to worry.

As a group we , me so included are calling our surgeon often enough. They are the experts on the and all the concerns we have. I sure didn't and learned the hard they are there to help us with everything, their staff usually has been banded themselves (at least mine do) always give them a call.
