I feel your pain.. i have gained 12 lbs back in about 6 months... I know i don't make the best choices... but I just eat what will stay down at this point.. the band isn't too tight... i am very upset with myself i thought i would be closer to my goal a year afterwards!

I have had more problems the last few days too... I wonder if the stress and excitement make everything a little tighter.... I am surprised that you can eat chicken... that is the worst one for me.....

Hi All! It has been forever since I have been on here! I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas! So, I can't eat ANY meat. It all gets stuck and I wind up PB'ing it. I chew until it can't be chewed anymore. My doctor doesn't think it is that big of an issue. Does anyone else have this problem???

I agree.. I tried the FB but that just got emotions involved.. what a mess!

Thanks guys!

I guess I am just venting... but I am so sick of being single. I still feel like the type of guys that I like, won't like me b/c of my weight. I have tried plenty of fish but just keep meeting guys who are old or big babies that throw tantrums and expect a woman to be a servant. I feel like I am going to be alone forever. Should i just settle on someone whom I don't like so much? I just still feel like the big girl that everyone is friends with. :crying:

Hi! Anytime you need to talk or have any questions, feel free to contact me!

So for over a month, the scale has not moved.. I have no idea how that is possible b/c i don't eat a whole hell of a lot. I am not hungry very often either. I guess I will go get another fill... I am very frustrated!:crying:

So, where do you find a man that doesn't mind a bigger woman? I don't know anyone around here. I have tried eharmony.. not even one hit and match but nothing..... Do you have to be 120 lbs to get a man?

What does a slippage feel like? How do you know if you have had one? I got the flu over the weekend and was vomitting a LOT. Dr. called in medicine to stop it and it worked, but now I am paranoid that I could have slipped the band. I have no pain, still eating normal. Just curious!

I am really surprised to hear how many people are just now having their 2nd or 3rd fills. I started getting fills 6 weeks after my surgery. My dr. gives me .5cc's at a time and I go every 2 weeks. I don't have to go if I am losing good. I currently have 4.75 cc's.

So why do we slime???

I am down 47 lbs. I hit a big platue that lasted all of last month. I got very discouraged but then I thought.. I have lost 43 lbs in 5 months. That is nothing to be sad about! I am finally losing again and I feel great! Just this week I hit a major goal. I am in the 100's now! Woohooo!:teeth_smile:

I think everyone of us that has had this surgery worried about dying on the table. I did a lot of research on it. There is less than a 1 and 200 chance of dying. My dr. has done hundreds with no death. It really is not worth worrying about. But I do understand what you are going through. It is worth it!

So, I had my 4th or 5th (can't remember) fill last Thur. He gave me 1cc b/c i haven't noticed much difference the past few times. Well I think I am at the spot I have heard so many talk about. I am definately limited on my intake and I am now unable to drink when I eat. I am having a lot of "stuck" items. So is this what they call the sweet spot?:confused2:
