  1. I do take my vitamins.. I'm religious about it! I will start taking a pre natal. Lol buut, yes I am still losing... 35 lbs until I am to my goal weight. The weight comes off a lot slower now and I have to eat really well and work out!
  2. Question for you ladies! I've had the band for about a year and a half now and I'm down 100 lbs... my biggest problem is that my hair is starting to thin. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, what'd you do?
  3. I think it might be head hunger... Because I know that I'm eating the right things... I just don't know how to get over it.
  4. I'm at 4 ccs and I'm still getting hungry between meals and the small portions aren't enough but it seems my band is pretty tight. Is it something I'm doing wrong?
  5. I'm doing really well! It hasn't really been that bad at all.
  6. I am on softs for 9 more days, then I resume normal foods.
  7. Awesome!! Thank you soooo much ladies! Im going on week 3. I feel great!! Im down 13 lbs. since the surgery but my dr said that i would probably gain a little before i get my first fill. Did any of you encounter that?
  8. I feel like I'm afraid to go out because food is everywhere and that's all I ever did. I'm seriously learning that I need a past time. Lol what did you all do for fun?
  9. Awesome! Thank you soooo much! I really think that this will be successful for me.
  10. Down 34!! How awesome is that!
  11. It seems like that's a common trend. Losing about 25 lbs then a small plateau until the next fill. Do you work out? How strict is your diet? Sorry... Lots of questions
  12. Awesome!! Thanks ladies for the support! I seriously hope that I'm successful at this... I have been reading a lot of failure stories. :/ scary!
  13. Awesome! How's it going for you? have you made any of your goals?
  14. Thanks ladies! I am on day 8 and I feel great! How long have you both had the band? I'm trying to figure this website out.. at first I only had it on my phone so now I actually have a picture:)
  15. Hey guys I just wanted to get together with more people my age that got the band. Thanks
  16. How was your appointment today? I feel like almost like normal today
  17. I feel really good today! Thank you guys I was in crazy pain last night so I called my dr. He said that with how they filled me up with co2 I'm just going to have weird pains like that. But I took my lortab and went to bed and woke up this morning feeling great!
  18. Also, it's pronounced just like Shelby
  19. I will for sure ask my surgeon if it's something serious. I'm not really in any pain except my shoulder and neck on my left side are KILLING me. I called my nurse this morning and she said it was gas pains but oh man... These gas pains suck. Last night was the first time I had pain around my port, that's just tender. No big deal at all. I actually feel a lot better than I thought I would.. Except the stupid gas pains. I looked around a bit but how do I add to the profile?
  20. I had pudding and apple sauce today... I think my problem is that I haven't really had the. ''hungry'' or "full" sensation, so I don't know when to start or finish.
  21. I had my surgery 1/3/13. I need some guidance and help with someone else who has had the surgery. I have been reading a lot about people failing and not losing the weight... I'm terrified.
  22. I just got my surgery last Thursday and I feel like i am so hungry... What do I do? I don't want to eat too much or get sick...
