Please help! I have 6.75 cc in a 9 cc band. I have lost 60 lbs and was feeling great.

I am in a slump for the past 7 months and am gaining weight because I eat all day.

I can't get it through my head to stop and I feel disgusting!!

Tight in the am and as long as I keep grazing I can eat more and more during the day.

Blueberries and grapes have been giving me problems lately. Everything else so far so good!

My weakness is chocolate and it gets really bad around that time for sure!

Almost to 60 now....have lost 57 lbs now

I have been experiencing a lot if Hair loss over the last few months....my hair is everywhere and comes out every time I touch my hair. Anyone else experience this? What did you do?

Talk to your pharmacist. I had the same and had to use a capsule and break it open.

Got my fill today and everything is perfect!

My port started hurting a bit last week. It hurts if I move the wrong way or carry something a bit heavy.

I am scared to death that my port flipped from the things that I have read.

My port has always been sensitive but now there is a pulling every now and then inside. I think now I am hyper sensitive to anything that goes on.

Any ideas what it may really be?

I am going for a fill tomorrow so I will see for sure.

Looking fabulous!

Happy dance!!

Great idea!

Happy 50 day to me! I weighed myself this morning and I am down an incredible 50 lbs!!!!!

I was banded on Jan 28/13 and to date I have lost 49 lbs! I feel so much better. I am now shopping in the lg - xlg section which feels surreal to me!!!

67 more pounds to go!!

I seem to get a slight hiccup when I'm full... Not that I feel full for long because I am sooo hungry!

Yay! My shoulder pain has been gone for a couple of days now...do not want that back anytime soon!

I had my surgery Monday and still have some shoulder pain. It gets worse when I sit, lay down or walk around the block. Anyone else had this for several days?

My surgery day was great! Yesterday I had a lot of gas pain and today some gas and lots of shoulder pain. I can't wait to feel better again.

Thanks!

Today I have some gas pain. Using gas ex and trying to keep up with the pain meds.

Today went awesome and I just have a tiny bit of pain where my port incision is.

My tummy sure gurgles when I drink something

Thanks so much everyone!

Tomorrow is my day!! I can't wait to post on here that everything is done and went well.

I am excited and so glad that the day is finally here!

Glad you're feeling better! The first week of my pre-op diet was hard' date=' I slept a lot. I am also taking in ~ 80 grams of Protein, usually through a pre-made shake (my favorite so far is the Premier brand with 30 grams per shake). Try a chocolate flavor shake to see if that helps with your chocolate cravings.

When I'm really feeling rough, I put the shake in a blender with half a frozen banana and a small tablespoon of Peanut Butter and it does the trick. It's super energizing and tastes like a treat.[/quote']

Thanks Jacqs!

I am definitely going to try some great Protien drinks during that phase. Right now to drink a Protien drink I have to mix it with Water. It's tolerable to a point probably because I used Peanut Butter chocolate Protien mix however it hasn't made me want another one!

I start liquid tomorrow and as a nurse in a prison I am so scared of getting weak I have to have my energy. I am on my feet 8-16 hours a day. I keep telling myself I am do this. It does get easier right????

It's getting easier for me. I am on day 9 of 14 and yesterday was so much better. Everyone is going to handle it differently. I could eat a Protien and veggies 3x per day and was still hungry after, now I am more content. I was use to eating so much before I had a hard time with my reduction of carbs and sugar.

And... I haven't cheated! Although I still want a chocolate bar really bad!!

I have been told many times by doctors and orthopaedic surgeons that Asics put the most money of all the brands into the design of support in the shoe.

I realize everyone has their brand that they like and i did too. However I bought Asics recently and they really support my feet. It has helped a lot with the plantar fasciitis which is now gone.

I am 10 days away from surgery and I am questioning the decision I am making. I don't know if it is nerves or what is going on. Im 6 days into my PRE op diet. Haven't lost a pound. Feeling discouraged and thinking about changing my mind. How do I know if this is the right choice for me.

Becks, I went through a horrible time a couple weeks ago feeling like this. I questioned everything you can think of.. Did I make the right decision, did I chose the right clinic, did I do enough research on this clinic, are the surgeons going to kill me, ... My list goes on and on. I had so much anxiety and panic I couldn't stand myself.

I called the clinic I am going to and let them know how I was feeling. They gave me reassurance and answered all of my questions also consulting with me more.

I am now at ease and my surgery is on Monday.
