Just Waiting

can I join your slowww losers club? I was banded on 1/4/05. I've lost 35lbs. I haven't made the best food choices nor have I exercized the way I should. Sorry it's so late after the thread but I haven't had time to come on the site lately I have to come on more I love reading the threads I find them very helpful. I was also hoping to be further along with the numbers by now but I guess slow loss is better than being heavyier.My best NSV is I don't get out of breath so easily anymore. That feels great!!!!!!!

I'm with you guys. I will also K.I.S.S. Drink lots more water and I will not eat after 8:00p.m. I will do my best with this.THANKS for the thread

CONGRATS!!!! That's a wonderful thing. A loud YES!

Great threads Thanks for the info I'm going to use the ideas. Let's all get rid of the emotional hunger. Monica

I've had 2 fills and I'm still not losing . I lost 15lbs. in the first 2 weeks after surgery. I'm feeling really depressed. I hope the 3rd fill will be a charm.Time is passing I had my surgery 1/4/05. I thought I would have been a little further along. Feeling like a failure.PLEASE HELP NEED ADVICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks in advance for your support. Monica

Thanks for postng tjis thread I was wondering about it last night. I haven't been on for about a week I'm thrilled to see I'm a 0 wow that makes me feel like a zero! What is off the scale and on a distinguished road about? The age was on last night also.Thanks all Monica

Hello everyone I'm getting my 1st fill on Thursday the 17th. I'm a little nervous I'm not sure what to expect I've had my surgery on 1/4/05 I had good restriction for 2 weeks then I guess the swelling went down, I haven't have much restriction for the passed month. I was wondering if after the fill what I'll feel as far as restriction goes will I feel the same restriction as I did after surgery? Is that the goal for feeling? I wasn't hungery. Now my god my stomach is growling and twisting as if I haven't eaten all day and it's only about 3 hours or so I'm starving at that point. Next question how do you know when your full before you get that unconfortable feeling or pain? What are some of the signs? I've pbed Quite a few times in this past month It's hard to slow down and chew so much without the food sipping down. Help I don't want to keep pbing after my fil. Thanks everyone for all your help in advance. Monica

Congrats and welcome to bandland.Rest and walk walk walk feel good soon!Monica

I get it also. It's wild.I'm getting a fill on Thursday is it going to get worse?It's my first fill. I have been making the noise about 2 weeks I'm still a newbie I'm 6 weeks out.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats That's a wonderful accomplishment. Hoping to be there one day also.

It took me about 3 months Good luck!

Hey I have a question what is that slime deal It happened to me. Is that concidered pb or just slime why does that slime thing happen anyway? One more question when you eat something and not chew well enough or to fast and you have that heart attack feeling is it better to made yourself pb or just pray it will pass? Will it pass?

That's really a cute puppy. I've lost my jazzy girl she was a beautiful black Dobie. She's in heaven now. But when she went to sleep she helpde god create my boy Zeus another black Dobie.he was born when she went to sleep so I feel she sent him to me.It's so hard when there gone. But we have to remember all the love they gave and how much they enriched our lives. Monica
