I tell my fiancé all the time, I'm such a foodie, I think I'll always have that short fat girl inside me (who by the way as quite endearing and I think of her fondly... Glad I'm stronger now, but that little fat girl made the choice to change her life... Pretty impressive.)

I think you should def call ur surgeon. The walking is good, seeing as its the only thing that helps that pesky gas after surgery. I would stay on liquids until I speak to my doctor.

I don't know, I take a lot of vitamins and my blood tests didn't show any deficiency's except some slight anemia, which I've always had and have been taking iron for it. I know I shouldn't be eatin dairy, I'm allergic/intolerant to it and for some reason I crave it! Especially chocolate. Well yesterday I ate roughly the same amount of calories (around 2000/2100) but just eliminated all dairy. It's an inflammatory food, so I wonder how much I've gained is really swelling. I'm down 2 pounds, and without dieting, eating when I'm hungry, light activity and just no dairy. I'm hoping I can keep this up.

I truly find myself hungry all day. Before I became pregnant (3rd child btw!) I had maintained for almost 2 years my goal weight! And food cravings were never an issue. I only ate when I needed to and if I found myself craving something I shouldn't I could usually distract myself and exercise always helped keep those cravings at bay. But now, I'm hungry before during and after working out lol. I do need to chill out, I'm stressing it while loving my tummy... I'm just conflicted. I can't find a happy medium. Even eating the right foods I still just want to keep eating!

Thanks. Yes I just get caught up. Now right now it starts, late afternoon to bedtime I become insatiable, and I always start my day with a mic breakfast and a wholesome midmorning snack, a good lunch and then an afternoon snack... But then it just triggers something after lunch, I have that snack and I'm still hungry. I try to ignore it, I work out I clean I walk I drink water, still can not stop thinking about food.

I've promised myself no more dairy. I'm intolerant to casein, so I shouldn't be eating it anyway. Today I've recommitted. I'll snack on nuts, berries and granola like I did when I was actively losing. I'll drink my fortified soy milk for calcium and at least one salad a day. But no more cheese or butter or chocolates. I gotta stop this. I look forward to after pregnancy and getting into my hot yoga and running again. Warrior dash.. This is the first year since I started my journey I won't be participating. I will keep my water bottle near. Thank you ladies... It is so hard to watch the scale go the other way again.

I'm 22 weeks along (baby boy!) we are thrilled And the baby is developing steadily... In trying HARD to be good, but I began binging again. I'm up 25 pounds after being at goal for almost 2 years. (140 pound total loss) I had to get my band completely unfilled due to that nasty norovirus. The vomiting was so intense I couldn't wait a moment longer to unfil (virtually no morning sickness, this happened at about 16 weeks) I've gained my last 13 pounds since then and I'm terrified I'm going to blow it. I need to recommit, I'm making terrible choices, all I want are inflammatory foods like cheese, chocolate, fried stuff... I could cry. I began using my bow flex 3 times a week, for only 15-20 minutes as to not over do it. But I'm still so scared. I have zero restriction. Two night ago I actually ate to overful.. I haven't felt that over fullness in so long... I'm so terribly dissapointed in myself.

I lost 140 by my first band anniversary. I tracked calories and worked out. 1000 when I was losing, today I aim for 1700 to maintain. I combined cardio, hot yoga (HUGE calorie burner! I burned 935 calories a session!) and weight training w floor exercises. And i always tried to replace what i burned since the calories in calories out rule boosts metabolism. I fluctuate between 127 and 133 pounds now.

I wanted to keep up with my kids and be a positive influence on them. Since being banded my children have benefitted by doing things I never would have done before! Even just playing on the swingset without getting winded after 5 minutes! We're campers, beach goers and we DANCE everyday!!! That was my goal! Now my goal is to maintain and not fall off the wagon.

GI scope showed no slip or erosion!!!! We're Going to now test the gallbladder and check fro stones! So thrilled it's not my band!!!

GI scope clear!!! It's not may band, in fact they said my band looks great! We're now ruling out gall stones and gallbladder.

Update! GI Scope went very well!! No erosion or slippage! We're gonna rule out gallbladder now so happy it's not my band!!

I have my scope scheduled for Wednesday.. But now living on long island I'm dealing with the aftermath of sandy.. No gas and the clinic is an hour away. I'm hoping I can still make the appointment... But there's this stupid gas, ice shortage and many of us are still w/o power (we're one of the few lucky ones) so I'll update soon...

I have no problem with gluten free pasta's and breads NOW and as long as I'm very thorough in my chewing. Eggs are ok for ne too as long as they are hot and again I must chew to mushies each bite. Def a little loose-r than I was win I found my green zone.

I have an appt w a gastro tomorrow. I'm def bringing this up

I have an appt w a gastro tomorrow. I'm def bringing this up

I'm very nervous about erosion! I have a consult with a gastro doc to talk about a scope test. I'm def mentioning the HIDA test! Thank you!

Yes I participated in warrior dash the past 2 years!

And I understand rapid weight loss. I was down 125 in the first 12 months.

I'm going for a consult tomorrow I feel my gall bladder is giving me problems... What do your "attacks" feel like?

I would recommend counting or tracking your calories.. Don't forget the calories you might drink. Myfitnesspal is perfect for this. See if that doesn't help! I would aim for 1000-1200 calories a day with a sedentary lifestyle.

Eggs can be difficult to get to "mush" state. I'm surprised ur doc wanted u to eat normally after your fill. Fills can swell your stoma for 24-48 hours which is why my doc says liquids for 24 hours, then soft Then back to solids. If I try to eat solids after a fill I have issues keeping it down as well. Also, 2 scrambled eggs might be too much for you to handle!

I saw rapid weight loss once I incorporated excersize along w counting calories.

The one severe attack I had was in the middle of the night after I had made the bad desicion to eat a 3 or so servings of cheese doodles. I woke sweating with that mid chest pain and very painful deep breathing. Sine then I had an unfill and went on liquids for a few days. I've recommitted and have started over but the pain when deep breathing (although less severe and hasn't woken me since) is still there, to a lesser degree and comes and goes. I started a gallbladder diet yesterday. Cucumbers and beets. :/ I hate beets.

Thanks for the adds and I added many of u who didn't send a request. Let's keep this going!
