  1. you will have this problem until you get your band with some fills in it. Most of us have to get over half of it full before all those thoughts stop. I have a 10cc band with 6.5 cc in it...go in for a fill

  3. here is hoping you have reached your sweet spot it is so great when you do.
  4. I count and do 800-1000 a day specially on work out days Its good to know where you are and what it looks like.
  5. I have lost 47 lbs since Aug 2012 and my lower stumach is now hanging and touching the skin below and I get these painful red pimple type bumps. They are very tendor and inflamed. When I open it up and push it is cremy white/gray stuff that comes out then I clean it tand cover it and it heals nicely. Anyone else have this? anyway to provent it? anything to use on it so I dont have to open it up? and does this make it medial nessary for a tummy tuck in the future? lol
  6. Maybe it the lossing weight that is really scary for you. I have always been over weight (Iam 64 now)so I dont know how to be at normal weighjt and that was a bit scary. I have health problems that could all go away if I loss weight. I had surgery in Aug and I am down 47 lbs 44 more to go and its wonderful seeing less of me....go for the gold and gets meds for your anxity they really help...good luck

  8. you might try drinking something hot in the am to relax the band hot water, tea, coffee but very hot. I cant drink my coffee while its hot but water and tea I can and this helps me feel less hungry also. I also have oatmeal with chia seeds and a fiber power in it.
  9. I always have a high protient drink b4 my workout .
  10. softer foods for a couple of days If I had what you did it would get stuck also...noodles doesn't always work.
  11. sometimes we want to help we forget to look at the humor in our post...I got it and think you will have a great time on your trip.
  12. I feel we have a defect at the top of our stomach and the band fixes that and our brain now get the message that we are eating and we are satisfied now. The problrm I have always had is I am always hungry and I hear food calling me from the kitchen that doesn't happen now so I can control my eating with the help of the band...like everyone says it is the greatest thing zI every did for myself. Don't let people tell you,you should be able to do this on your own its not there health its yours.
  13. think about getting a fill and be sure you track every bit. along with all the above advise. gl you can do it/
  14. heating pads help a lot get to pooping, fiber powered, or laxitives just get it moving.
  15. call ypur insurance company and ask them who is in you area>
  16. 10cc/6.5cc and its been a great place for me this took 3 fills. I feel good right here for now and loss 1-2 a week as a rule....you'll get there get you fills as soon as u need then so you feel satisfied for at least 4 hours.
  17. breakfast of oatmeal with chia and fiber then getting kids up and out then its my time And I will go line dancing for 2 hours yippee what a great morning... Have a good one everyone.
  18. no shovlein g snow, no mowing the lawn or tsking out the gsarbage and no sex till you feel like it sometime next year.no painting the house inside or out.
  19. mix some sugar free pudding mix in it that might help. different brands tastes a bit different also I like muscel milk or EAS in chocolate keep trying.
  20. myfitnesspal does all that good luck
  21. I didn't even entertasin any other types I had 90lbs to loss and felt the cost, and the lest invasis was the best way to go for me. Good luck with yours
  22. Some of the foods I can eat get stuck to remind me to chew more or today is not the day for this food. Unfortchantly if it junk food everything slids down no so good even pancake will go down boohoo so I just cant have them around.
  23. good I am glad your got a, new doctor and got your fill and keep up the good work u have done very well.
  24. I was told 900-1200 and I do 800 or less and it works great for me.Get your protein and fiber and water I think is more important extra on days you work out I use my protient shake for those days
