that was great ! Thanks

I was banded september 07, just like you, still stuck. been stuck since march ! I cant make myself do the liquid diet again. i do drink a shake for breakfast most of the time though. I just got a 1/2 unfil and can eat better now. I hope I will lose again. Everyone says to hang on, it will start again. Lets hope it does. I wish I knew the magic words to tell you tbenson. When you figure it out let me know too.

arent you toooo tight? I have been back and forth with fills and unfills. I cant seem to lose anymore either. I am stuck!! So mad and tired of not losing anymore. how long has anyone plateaued since banding in september o7 ???

wow. i am trying ! glad you are doing so good !

where is everyone from september bandsters of 2007 ! I never see a post anymore. I want to know how much everyone has lost and how it is going for you. I am sick of not losing and going in and getting a fill then getting it out etc. This time I am trying harder to do this right. I am so ready to lose again.

andrea... me too! I havent lost though for 2 months and I was banded last september. had an unfill and now it is almost like nothing is there at night! I do still feel tight in the mornings. I am tired of being stuck at 50 pounds, i want to lose total of 100. This is making me mad now. I thought I would surely lose 5 pounds a month! I havent given up but I know i need to get back in gear !

yea... you are doing great, hang in there. be careful about being toooo tight and not eating healthy.

thanks jody! I have been hitting the bad foods while i was tooooo tight. I guess a little stop in losing is normal, I just hate it when i hear someone lost about 50 and then stopped. I am NOT going to be one those people LOL. Okay, new week, staying in the box !

i am getting so discouraged, i cant seem to lose 1 pound a week like i thought i would. Anyone stuck and got it going again.. i was too tight but now i can eat better but i want to lose again !!!

i think it is dehydration! I was to tight, better now but i am still not getting in my liquids. Gonna suck on sour candy and lemon juice, and drink more !!

anyone having this symptom, doc didnt know what is was. It seems to be related to dehydration or pb'ing. It just happens sometimes, no apparent reason. Swells mostly under right ear but i can feel the tightness on both sides of my neck. Feels like gland problems. Please... anyone having this symptom????? What did you do ??:thumbup:

I am losing again ! I am eating normal again. It is sooooo much better. Ya'll dont be toooo tight !

I just wanted an attention grabber, tried to change the title but you get the point. I have had a close friend that did the really tight restriction, she lost weight, lost hair, got sick etc. she then had a slip and was very very lucky she got to redo the band and didnt lose it. Thanks!

thanks. I just want to get the point across that too tight is not good. You hear about all the restriction on here, mornings being tight are fine but you should be able to eat moist meat, healthy foods. I cant eat breads or dry meat but that is okay. I can stop reaching for the bad stuff now!

Please dont be toooo tight, you wont lose, you will be risking a slip or erosion. I was in denial. You should be able to eat small portions of HEALTHY foods. I was thinking that being restricted would keep me from eating so much. This is WRONG. Please be careful with your band. I gained pounds the last 5 weeks and could hardly eat. When I PB'd I would swell and felt horrible. You can do this without feeling the restricition so much. The band isnt meant to STOP you from eating solid foods. If you are eating mushies and chips, ice cream etc, YOU ARE TOO TIGHT ! Be honest with yourself. Look at what you are eating, when you pb etc. This is your SIGN. Good luck. DONT SLIP or risk EROSION Ya'll.
