Funny thing ... i was just talking to my mom about this the other day.... I am cold a lot of the time.... even as i type this my hands feet and nose are frozen.... the worst part is im always cold and my mom (who is going throught menopause) is having hot flashes and hot all the time.. so there is a constant argument over what to set the thermostat at...

awesome !!!!!!! great job!!!

i HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND WENT TO SEE MY SURGEON BECAUSE I WAS VOMITING A LOT... For me it was the pain meds and the anti-nausea meds that made me so nauseous to begin with It will pass and you will be fine.. BUT IF IT IS TO MUCH FOR YOU TO TOLERATE I WOULD ASK YOU SURGEON... just to make sure everything is okay WELCOME TO BANDLAND!!!

Well in my case(EVERY BANDSTER IS DIFFERENT) if im on a plateau for to long and i have tried looking at my diet and bandster rules... and exercise... then i definitely need a fill (especially since your feeling hungry all the time) Make sure your getting your Protein in as well. But from what it sounds like you probably need a fill... (p.s. i was in the same situation after my first fill i got 3.5cc's as well) :smile:Good Luck N don't get discouraged.You are doing great! :tongue:

Updated up to Debihaines ... Just a quick note only put your sats up and let me know if your new to the list or a weight update

So on sat. i just happened to run into a person i hadn't seen in a while he had a hard time recognizing me and when i told him who i was the first words out of his mouth were " WOW YOU GOT SKINNY!!":w00t: i wouldn't say im skinny but it felt great when he said that... Also that same day one of my friends marc also complimented me on how much weight i've lost and how much prettier my face has gotten!!!AND he never complimented me in the 6 years that i have known him!!!:smile: I LOVE MY BAND!!!:tongue:

i agree with you're surgeon... and my surgeon is an aggressive filler as well... at one of my fills he did 3.2cc's .. and he never does less than 1.5cc's

ok chocolate_snaps i added you in....

kyethra im with you on the fill issue.... I've been finding that i eat a lot more and im hungrier sooner... it really sucks.... i keep trying to control but it ain't easy when you actually feel your tummy growling... All i got to say is thank god:thumbup: i go tomorrow morning!!!

update again

Starting weight is the weight you are when you decided to join in on the challange... not when you started you band journey
