:hug: I had this problem starting out myself. Like the others said, Don't let yourself get too hungry between meals. Have snacks! If you get too hungry, you will try to inhale your food!! It'll be alright. You're just learning the hard way.

Well put Jenna!

Since I have started losing I just can't quit buying nightgowns. I think it is because I never could find one that fit me just right. When I did, I would buy a bunch of them. Now i have too many!! LOL!!! Anyone else have this problem?

I'm IR too & also a turtle. Like Vines, I wish I had the answer for you! NSVs are important though. The scales will move in their own time. When the scales move for me, they usually move big, & then they just sit there again for months at a time! & yes, fills are important! I didn't have any significant weight loss until after my third fill & I am going in this week for another fill. Hang in there! It WILL happen! You can PM me if you want.

Take it easy! I'm glad you got some answers! Don't be a stranger!! Glad you're doing better!!

Yes. It happened to me too. I'm not gonna tell you what I did though, cause I'm sure some people would yell at me! LOL! Call your doc if it bothers you. He may snip the little booger out for ya. As long as it's not draining or red or swollen or anything like that, it should be okay. Put some TAO on it (triple antibiotic ointment). I also boiled mine out with peroxide.

I know you can buy it on line. That is probably your best bet. I found it at Drug Emporium here in Arkansas.

LOl!! I know what you mean!

It is a different consistency than diaper rash ointment. I don't know how to explain it. It is all natural & has beeswax & other goodies in it. My Grandpa is a beekeeper & says that honey has antibacterial properties in it. So i don't know if this has anything to do with it's effectiveness or not. But it is almost a miracle cure. At least for me it is! It will clear anything up in a day or two & almost immediately takes the sting & burning out! And it stays on until you shower. No need for reapplication! I highly recommend it. I have tried all the diaper rash stuff & for me this stuff is the ticket! LOL!! I am in no way affiliated with this company!! I just wanted to share! LOL!!!

For those of us who have suffered from rashes, yeast, infections & other problems in our skinfolds, I have a product i would like to share with you. It is made by Burt's Bees. It's called "Baby Bee Skin Cream". It comes in a jar & it is the best thing I have ever found. I even had a patient in the nursing home I was working in who suffered with a raw bottom all the time & would cry. I asked around & she had been suffering with it for a couple of years. I told her about this product & she had her sister buy some for her & after 2 days her bottom was healed! It even works for "babboon butt" as my husband calls it! LOL!! Just thought I would share. I know this is a topic that is avoided at all costs, but there's no reason to suffer!! :biggrin1:

If you are strong enough to wait a couple of days, they usually drop the prices on each item! It's hard to do though! The jeans started out at $14.99. 2 days later they were $11 somehting!

I'm totally happy! Life is getting good again!!

:confused: :waytogo: :success1: :) :whoo: :thumb:

Thanks everyone! I think I am one of the less aggressive bandsters when it comes to fills. I always give it a few months to see what will happen. I lost 10 lbs after my last fill, which has been more than 3 months ago. But I have lost & gained this same 10 lbs. so much I am about to scream! This is what made me decide to try another fill. So thanks again!! I hope I do reach my sweet spot this time!!! I will let ya'll know in a couple of weeks!
