I would really like to have a buddy. I will check every day as well and let's get back into gear!

I love Wendy's frosties! I will try it thanks!

I was banded a year ago and have done well, I am down to 152.6. The problem is that I am getting into the ice cream cycle again. I not too tight but my brain really likes it. I am trying to log my food again but am having a hard time exercising. I did well when I logged on here regularly and participated, so I'm back. Any words of wisdom or encouragement would be appreciated.

I had all the fluid removed and I am so much better. I have another appt in 2 weeks and will have some fluid put back in then. I feel so much better.

Thanks it always helps to have another perspective!

Ok here's the story. I was banded Aug 6 and am down 27 lbs. I went for 1 st fill one month after surgery and didn't need it because I was doing good. About a week after that I was hungry more and got 2 cc put in. I did okay but wasn't losing. Went back in at next appt which was a 1.5 weeks ago and had 2 more cc put in. Since then I have had the pb for the first time ever every night. I had chicken get stuck so bad yesterday that I vomited. Today I can swallow but...water hurts. I am thinking clears for a couple of days, 1 cc fluid removal Tuesday (my day off). Any other thoughts?

It is water resistant up to 30 feet. I love my flex.

Don't forget to post to the monthly challenge bandsters! Looks like so far everyone is doing great! Lets keep it up.

Hi Jama I am doing well. The job is going okay. My energy is really good now which is a blessing. How are you feeling?

I love it. I cant wait to check everything on my phone and computer. You will be making a good investment.

Had my first fill Friday and it was easy. Little poke and that was it. No worries.

Got my fill of 2 cc today and I can tell. Dr thinks that I have lost so much weight in abdomen that the fat around the band shrunk causing me to need a fill. Fill was easy and hardly and discomfort. Thanks for everyone's input.

Got my fitbit flex today and can't stop playing with it. I think it will be a very helpful tool. My Dr said she has one too and loves it. So glad I saw this thread otherwise would have never heard of it!

I'm going for a fill tomorrow and I hope it helps. I think you guys are right I really have paid attention today and not having as much restriction.

Thanks. I just was fence sitting. I'm scheduled soon so I will try a fill and see if it helps.

Thanks. I can't wait. Should be here Friday. Got the flex because will be easiest to use for me and won't worry so much about losing it.

I just ordered my fitbit. Does anyone know if you can swim with it?

I was banded on Aug 6th and have done well with my weight loss (23 lb) and have not needed a fill..yet. I have noticed over the last week I am drinking more water but I am also hungrier than I was before. I am eating 1/2 cup per meal and feel full. I eat 3 times a day and eat high protein, low carb. I do not drink with meals and wait 30-60 min after eating to drink fluids. Is the water causing my food to slide through faster? Do I need a fill? Or is it a combination of both? What to do, what to do..

It is set up under monthly support groups 2013 august. Would love you to join!

Can anyone tell me what they paid for a breast augmentation? I don't think my insurance will pay and the girls will need picked up and augmented after weight loss.

I am the same and I do not have any saline in my band. My doc said she has had a couple of people that never need a fill because the presence of the band is enough.

Ange That is awesome! See all of a sudden proof goes the weight.

I want to: -look better than the other women at my 20th high school reunion. -not be tired all the time. -rock leggings -put on a swimming suit and not want to hide -get my sex drive back -wear single digits -run without my fat jiggling in pain!
