u look great

so sorry some poster are being rude to you I hope that c.hanges soon you've always seemed nice

stick to protein shakes,teas and water track everything.. you don't want to get dehydrated it's really bad. This is a time for healing don't worry about weight loss here get EAS makes a 40 gr protein shake and they are good. take a stool softener and laxative and get things out of there and the gas will go. milk of magnesima works fast and no cramps..its all up hill from here

that is how the band works best I agree with the above treat your to a fill.

you did great be very proud. This is just the beging of a great life and feeling wonderful

track your intake and take it into the doctor with you to find out how you can work on it better. This is diet and the same rules apply.

think about it..............you knew the answer lol

yes what are the problems maybe we can help you with them.

well, I can I help? first of plenty of hugs and just being here to listen. I have adopted kids with bi-polar as long as my self.. I have found Depakoe to be our wonder medican and luckily we didnt have to try a lot of differant ones. We also take and anti-depressant to get the moods even or at least not get to the extrem ends of either. I hope you apply for social surcity it can take a lone time to get approved and you can start it off online or go to the office if it is close to you. Then you will get help with the medical end of things which is a God sent. Just because you go to a gym doesnt mean you have to do thing that use you knee, I go and do the weights and that makes a big differance...there is plenty to do to get fit without using your knees...at least check it out do not future think in a negitive way look to the possitive some exercise is a tin better then none so take you help from your Mom and go daily...you can do this and mentaly you will feel much better.. I hope this is helpful it is sent with hugs, love and truly caring for you and your success..

bring your own and just say your on a specal deit from your doctor you dont need to tell them it for weight loss. Doing what the person above me is a great plan I also in the beginning just call and say I am ill and will not be able to come this time. Remeber this is all about you, you come first so you need to do what ever it takes at this point..People understand illness but not weight loss isnt that a shame

wow if you vomited that hard you'd better go in and have the band checked also. I didnt do it that hard or that much and my band slipped was good. call ASAP

they aren't your friends if they aren't supporing you in getting into good health. tell them that if they are more informed then your doctors tell them you will listen. I separated myself from so called friends as I lost weight they got excited and wanted all the details and then offered support I told them I didn't need support now. Our weight tells everyone we do or don't put outselves first so its time for us now.. you have us what more do you need? you onto as new life and new friends if need be.

this is a time you find out what foods you cant be trusted with at least right now so throw it out..thats what helps me Its how I get my head to pay attention that I will be in control from now on. Good luck this is park of banders hell but you will work it out

do it for all of us who would love to but scared of hights. good job

I do the same thing and it doesn't help when each manufacture has there own idea of what a centain size is. but it is nice that the size we pick is always to big instead of always to small...

you go girl great job

I do best at 800 cals to a max of 1200 so track you food and do all of the above...and it you don't loss in a month talk to doctor about it.

when you have insurance there should be no upfront payments.

yes its the only adjustment that can be make the size of the inside of the band so the food goes down slowly.

be sure to track your food, water and exercise and the times you eat to find out what is going on and where document everything you can there is a lot of information that we take for gainted and effect our losses

Eatting at night is all about your head so talk to yourself and I find having something hot water or tea really helps me. You need to do some brain tricking its been tricking you for years. clean out your kitchen so there isn't anything you shouldn't eat..yogurt is a real filler for me...

is youe insrance paying? or is this all out of pocket?

mine does also but we didn't talk about exersing like u do call them.

70 lbs light and I just got the work that I an off the diebeties meds I am so happy that was one of my goals. I would do this al over again I feel great everything has been a win for me I hope it is for all of you keep at it, its so worth it

so great to hear from a long time bander thanks for the pep talk
