When I have a good fill I eat about 1500-1600 a day. I work out four to five times a week, usually 45 minutes at a time. Right now I need a fill bad and I am eating 1800 to 1900 a day. I am not losing , but not gaining either. I will be so....glad to get a fill. I could never get by on 600 -800 calories a day. I would fall out somewhere. LOL Donna:lol:

I agree with Laurend completly. Donna

Hang in there. You have almost made it Congrats on your band!!! Donna

Please do call your doctor. Hope it gets better. Donna

Glad you are better. Donna

The psych eval is usually easy. Stay on your meds unless your doc. says to stop. Good luck. Donna

And....what did you say??? lol Congrats!! Donna

I go to the ymca four or five times a week. I love the way it makes me feel. 45 minutes on the eliptical today. Donna

Ok let see.... Breakfast- protien shake - oats, small, low sugar lunch-I/2 a chicken Breast and1/2 a cup of peas@ corn Supper-2 cups of Beans and ham Soup Snacks- trail mix bars (2) Sm choc. bar Sounds like a lot, but I worked out 45 min. of cardio at the gym. I seem to eat more than a lot of you do. I am still losing though.I always feel guilty cause I eat more than most. Donna

I am another one that can not eat deli meat, turkey ,ham ect. It will not stay down. I am also real tight in the morning and get looser as the day goes on. ......sometimes.... Donna

I am not new, but Welcome to the site. Donna

Hi Steve. Congrats on your weight loss. I have had a hard time not drinking when I eat. It is a hard habit to break but I keep working on it. Donna

Congrats!!!! I know how good you feel cause I just went to a 16 also. I just love this band. Donna

This is not the easy way out, thats for sure. You really have to do your part for this band to work. Whats SLC???? Donna

I am so glad you are ok. My brother had an accident last year and has had several operations to save his right leg. He now walks with two canes, very slowly. You are very lucky. I would not get an unfill myself, your diet should be normal now. Donna

Wow! I am so glad you called your doctor for a fill. You can do this!!!!! We all can. You just have to believe in yourself and start again. You never fail till you stop trying. Donna

I am so.....glad this has not happened to me. It sounds scary. I think you should let your doc know like Wheetsin said. Hope they can stop the problem for you.

Welcome to all the new folks and congrats on your bands. Donna

Congrats to both of you new folks!! Glad it went well for you. Donna

I still have the shoulder pain. It comes and goes. I do not think it is gas. I think it is pain from nerves damaged in the operation. Just my thinking. Donna
