**IP~LB** got a reaction from marlena_marie in No fill?
Yay!! 36 pounds, fantastic!!
I was banded Dec 4 2012 and every time I go back he tells me no Irene no fill, good work and see you in a month!
My next appointment is Next Tuesday. I am in no hurry to get a fill and personally I hope I never get one. I can go at least 4-6 hours without being hungry, HUGE difference from before when I was eating 7,000 calories plus a day!!
Keep up the good work!!

I've personally not experienced that but I know of others who have. It all depends on your anatomy and some people are just lucky because their band alone is enough.
Btw, you're doing great on your weight loss!

No offense, but we can't help. You either have to pay for the express delivery or call your doctor's office to see if they have other options.

**IP~LB** reacted to dani_nyc in Banded 2 months
Very simple advice... Follow the rules!!
I do exactly what my surgeon and nutrition told me to do.
1 cup of food or 3oz Protein and 2oz veggies
2-3 times a day.. 1 Protein Shake on gym days.. And plenty of water!!
It is very hard in the beginning. Yes it does feel like the end of the world.. It does get discouraging.. But it does pay off!!
Your band is only going to work if you enable it to!

I went from a size 10 to a size 9. I had to replace A LOT of shoes: boots, sneakers, church shoes, work shoes. Now, I have to buy new sandals.

**IP~LB** got a reaction from hely88 in This is very real!!
Good luck with your recovery! Sorry to hear that. Yeah that was the worst thing for me walking around back when I had my surgery Dec 4. BUT my mom had just had multiple pulmonary embolisms from not walking from her hernia surgery the previous month and she was in ICU 8 days and almost died it had dislodged and went into both lungs, they had to do surgery on her ): She is on blood thinners and had tiny umbrellas put into her lungs to prevent go to her brain. She is doing much better now!!
I am glad your health is back to normal. It is a very small percentage but like you said, it is REAL!!!
SO I got my ass up every hour even though I did not want to and walked!
Take care of yourself!

**IP~LB** reacted to 2muchfun in To Weigh or Not to Weigh
Every day, twice a day. Morning and night. I've never really understood why someone would get aggravated over seeing their weight every day? If you understand that your weight isn't only a result of losing fat and that it's also a result of TOM, sodium intake, stress, carbs, it's easy to accept what the scale indicates. If I eat two slices of pizza I know my weight will probably be 2 lbs higher since I've consumed simple carbs and lots of sodium. My body will retain 32 ozs of fluids due to my poor food choices. I accept that.
And, if I am gaining weight, why would I want to wait till the end of week or month? I want to correct my behavior as quickly as I possiblty can. That's me.

**IP~LB** got a reaction from ☠carolinagirl☠ in Working Out Vs Calorie Intake
On days that I work out I boost my calories 250-350calories. I was also feeling lightheaded and on February 17 about hit the floor at a crossfit competition because my blood sugar dropped A LOT. Once I picked up my caloric intake I haven't had any problems. I am still under my 1200 calories for the day with no issues at all.
Also about one hour before I work out I have a progenex Protein drink! CrossFit is pretty intense and I would hate to stop doing it so with the little food increase I can do it! I have also been have almond butter with bananas for Snacks on days I workout.
GOOD LUCK TO YOU!!

Have you been to your doctor? Perhaps you need to make sure there isn't a medical reason stalling your weight loss, like thyroid or hormones.
