Good for you!!! you look great!!!!!

great job on the 20lbs!!!! the gas pain i think was the worse part of it all for me if it was not for that i would have bounced back fast!!! best of luck to you on your new journey!!!!!

I called and talk to my dr today and he said that it may be just a smidge too tight and to go on Clear Liquids until i see him in his office tomorrow because he said this could lead to problems later on down the road

I was sitting at work today and one of the ladies came up to me and asked me if my band would rupture if i ate too much.....i told her what the signs were of eating too much and she then told me that when i go back to the doctor i needed to talk to him about how much i ate and it really made me mad. I am not able to eat Breakfast so i have a protien shake or some light yougart because my band is tight in the mornings then the only thing i eat for lunch is maybe a 3oz grilled chicken breast or tuna fish and some steamed carrots or other veggies and she thought that was too much and concerned about me. I thought i was doing well and my doctor told me i should be able to eat about 4 oz of lean protien and a veggie. I lost 10 pounds in the last two weeks and am pretty pleased since they want you to loose 1-2 pounds weekly. The only thing i dont like is people are so judgemental and think just because i have a band i am not allowed to eat but one or two bites. anyone else have problems with people being so judgemental of them and what they eat?

I agree I am going to find me some new support because she does compare me to her and its horrible. I came across this site by accident and its great. Alot of great support and i always find the answers im looking for.

I had my third fill on monday and boy was it too tight!!!! i called my doctor yesterday and told him i had been throwing up any solids that i eat, had horrible stomach pain and bad heartburn. he said my band was too tight. i went today and he took out 0.5cc and i felt relief and the pain was gone. The only problem is now i can eat and when i do i feel so guilty about it because i am afraid i will end up eating too much and gain back the weight that i have lost. my support system is not that great because my support had her band done and told me that i can not handle the band since i thought it was too tight and needed an adjustment she told me that i should not be able to eat hardly anything at all. she throws up all the time and makes poor food choices. I am just in a slum right now. I have lost 30lb since i was banded on the 26th of september so i must be doing something right!!!!!!
