I have 3Xs and 26-28 stuff some 24 and 22, some with tags Lane Bryant, Tommy Hilfiger, Old Navy Would love to pass it on. Lauren

Phentermine in legal - I get it from a doctor. It has been around for over 30 years. It works awesome - no appetite.

I need to jump start the weightloss, especially since I have put on almost 10 lbs!!! Going to buy my ingredients today!!

I lost 68 lbs without any exercise and not watching what I ate! I have not lost anything in about 6 months and in fact have been struggling to lose 5 lbs that I put on!!! I have to start exercising if I am to lose anymore weight. So ,yes you can still lose but eventually will have to work at it

This has happened about 4 times and three of them in the middle of the night. I get this tight, burning in my sternum and back - it radiates, feels better if I stand up and almost gets tight in my jaw. Lasts for maybe 5-10 minutes then goes away. A few weeks inbetween episodes. Help

I has lost 67 lbs but I keep going up and down the same 5 lbs. I will admit that the weight I have lost was with no effort on my part - does this mean it is time to get serious? I do not exercise and do not really watch my diet - slim fast in the morning - picking throughout the day, regular dinner and ice cream. I need some butt kicking!!

I guess it is time to really start working at this. I hate to admit but the 65 lbs I have lost, I have done with really no effort - meaning no exercise and not "really" watching what I eat. I wonder if this is what the drs mean when they say you will lose 30-50% of you body weight? Just wanted to publicly admit that no surgery is a cure and yes you actually do have to work if you want to get to goal. I want to get down to 230 (100 lb loss) but now as I realize my remaining loss will be work I am bummed!!

I have not posted in a while but I am down 65lbs and 35 more until my goal of 100 lbs. I am a slow loser and have to admit I never excersize and do not really watch my diet. I am going to now step it up and get going to lose the last 35!

We were at a wedding last night. I had eaten at the cocktail hour and was experiencing some "stuck" issues. We were waiting for the bride and groom to make their entrance and I knew I had to go to the bathroom to pb but there was no escape. I was stuck at our table. I stood up hoping maybe the food would go down but I started with the watery mouth and before I knew it - blah - PB'ed in my hands!!!!!!! I bent down behind my husband and took napkins to be discreet but my whole table had already seen the nasty event! I was mortified as was my husband - the pb got on his suit jacket and chair cover. It was really bad but after a few more glasses of wine I was fine and thankfully our table was good friends who were aware of my situtation. Ugh!

Hi I weighed 330 before surgery and now I am 270-274 - keeps going back and fourth! I am 5'6"

I am going to a doctor who specializes in diet/nutrition and prescribes phentermine for hunger suppression. I have 40 lbs to get to my first goal of 100 lbs lost and feel I need some help - my fill is good. Has anyone gone this route?

Wow! Never thought I would get this far and less than 40 lbs until my first goal. Slow losers rule!!

I am 32 and lost 55 lbs in a year and YES I have a slight turkey neck. The skin does not bounce back. I hate it!!

53 lbs in one year for me!

This is what I have found when I compared Old Navy size charts to Lane Bryant size charts - Old navy has almost 2 more inches in their measuremens than Lane Bryant (waist, hip) I wear a 22 in Old Navy and a 24 in Lane Bryant for pants without any stretch and I can wear a 20 in Old Navy and 22 Lane Bryant for pants with stretch (jeans, etc)

I had a stomach virus since banding and it was awful - I just kept dry heaving because I did not have alot of food in my system from the day before. It was terrible

Official weight this morning was 277 - down 53 lbs! Yes, I am a slow loser but happy with my progress - lovin' my band!

A typical "wide open" meal would piece a couple pieces of pork, a serving of greenbean casserole and serving mashed potatoes - mug of ice cream for dessert. I do not usually eat during the day only coffee and crystal light.

I could have written your post. I just had my one-year post op appt and told the doctor that all day I am tight and at night the flood gates open or some days I can sit and eat like I have no band and other days I am too tight for any food. When I can eat on those "no-band" days I take advantage and then want to kick myself for it!!

I only had to fast the day before surgery so I had alot of last meals. Every doctor is different so I would call the office and talk to the nurse or doctor.

I had my surgery done by Dr Bertha and yes his bedside manner is not the greatest but now that I have gotten to know him a bit better over the year since surgery, I really like him. He just tells it like it is.

No matter now much I chew it any type of bread is a no, no for me - same goes for rice, pork, shrimp, chicken, salad and steak.

I am happy I have lost over 50 lbs in one year and feel really great. 50 more to go and would not have done this without my trusty band!!

I started this journey at 330 lbs and wearing a size 28 pant that were tight. Happy to say that I now can wear 22's!! and 18/20 top!

I had a "too tight" fill and it was awful - I really did not eat for three weeks - everything, and I mean everything was making me pb. I had that fill removed and now have another fill and in the am I am tight but by the evening I can eat. I have found that my band is picky - some days I can eat more than I would like and other days I pb on everything. But yes, you can be tight and the am and not so much in the pm
