Wow u look great.

Same here. Had my 1st fill and hungry!! I'm 1 mth out almost, lost 21lbs.... Cheated over weekend and gained 3. Any healthy food tips for a low budget? I def need another fill cause I don't get full quick at all and afraid I will give into temptation. This site helps me stay motivated. For the record, the crap I ate wasn't even good anymore!

You look amazing really. I hope I look as good as you soon!

You look excellent! Congrats

I agree! Helps me daily

Very encouraging! I'm having that don't give up speech with myself right now. I needed that!!!

I'm almost a month out and had 1 full last week. I'm hungry and made a few bad choices. I even gained 2lbs this week. Feeling pretty bad about it. Felt so good with no appetite first few weeks. I hope to have another fill Friday. I need that no hunger feeling back to assist me, it's hard. Especially socially cause having fun always meant food friends and drinks. I want to be successful... So we just need to get motivated daily and from what I hear, will power and patience

My dr office was cool and told me to call, think I called a week or so later and it was approved. Got approval number and gave to office. Good luck!

I hate needles and felt nothing during fill... My dr hands hurt more when she was feeling for port but not bad at all

Thank you for cvs.... I will be getting some if needed. I hope I find grape lol

You can do it. It's alot in our minds and we get stronger every day. Dr probably don't want to give us best case... We see people who have and are losing that much plus some... Good lick

Hi good luck to you. I had surg 6/3/13. I'm in my fourth week. 1st two days were the worst, tired and terrible gas pains in my shoulders/ chest... Started taking care of my baby on 3rd day, I was sore but I did it. Second week back to work, desk work at home. I was emotional 2nd week but I was no longer on my pain meds and got pms bad! So makes sense. Last week I felt pretty normal. I started walking at gym week 2... And it helped a lot. I suck at going to gym but on my 3rd week. I do my 30 min and go. I got 1st fill last week and now that gas is better, I'm hungry. I was down 21lbs in 3rd week! Go ladies! Reading these are so motivating!

Hi good luck to you! I had surgery June 3rd. Gas was the worst part for first week. Second week I had pms so the back pain was killing me but last week was feeling better gas wise but

I just can't comprehend how we can gain from eating healthy! 4 weeks ago I was eating pure junk food a lot! I'm so proud of my changes and I guess I expect if I change.... My wt will too. But sounds like that's not necessarily going to happen. I will take slow for a great end result...good luck everyone

That's awesome!!!!

Where did u get liquid Tylenol?

I'm 21 days out, lost 21lbs.... And do seen to have slowed down a lot. Hoping I have consistent weight loss to keep me feeling encouraged

Thank u! I won't over do it. Just been craving a cocktail!

I hear ya lap band Anna! It's hard. I feel that way sometimes but maybe we need to wait longer and the year will fly by.... And we can feel great again soon. I want more aggressive fill next time too. I was not hungry at all until I got my 1st fill last week... Now that gas going away, I want to feel fuller quicker again, soon! It's hard to do right and see 2lbs but add that up over a year!!!!! We CAN do this. We may yell cry whatever but tomorrow is a new day

Hi. I had lp on 6/3 and had first fill Friday. 2cc I think. I feel hungrier now then whole last 3 weeks. I had the nerve to eat a dunkin donuts bagel twist today and feels like its just stuck, won't do that again. Funny thing... Didn't taste as good as it used too. I guess since gas got better, I'm getting hungry. Down 22lbs as of Friday and don't want to go backwards. Good luck!!!

I know. People are funny. Congrats! I bet u feel amazing!!!!!

Thank you!!!! I ended up having vodka and diet 7up last night. Alcohol did hit me sooner then it used too but felt nice to relax. Not to be nasty but after I drank, I was able to get a lot of gas out. Did carbonation help? Back to being good today!!! Thanks everyonw

Thank you!!!! Got my first fill yesterday at 3 weeks. I am going to a party today and really want a cocktail? Any suggestions?
