I've had similar experiences a handful of times at the gym. while on an exercise bike and in yoga. I figure on the bike its caused by the vibrations. and as for yoga my theory is that some of the positions cause uterine contractions (which occur normally when a woman orgasms) plus a lot of the asnas are super sensual to begin with anyway, and my mind wanders. when I have a workout that I'm not looking forward to I download an erotica audio book onto my ipod and it helps me to stay with it LOL did I just admit to that ?!?

Thank You !!!

I was banded on 7/31/07. In the first 13 months that i had my band I rapidly dropped weight losing 130 pounds in the first 13 months. Then I went for another fill, that I was hoping would land me at goal. It was done under fluro, but even still I was far too tight. I stayed with it for months being stubborn & foolishly ignoring the discomfort and other signs of a problem. Finally when I couldn't take it anymore I was unfilled and because I had hurt my stomach in the process ALL of my fill was removed. I regained about forty pounds before I was filled back up to my sweet spot again so I had to re-lose that weight. I learned my lesson and have been very careful with how tight I am. The pounds no longer melt off so I exercise even more then I had previously 6 days a week either doing cardio, elliptical, belly dancing, zumba or yoga. This past April I completed my first half marathon. :thumbup: I've had many NSVs, but landing in Onderland feels incredible!!! Goal here I come !!!

i just completed my first half marathon this past April. I was very tightly restricted at the time. during training including up to the night before I focused on lots of protein soy, fish, nuts & lean protein shakes as well as healthier forms of carbs such as apples& bananas. I was able to drink as much water as I needed during the actual race. A few hours after the marathon I was actually very hungry which is very odd for me and was able to eat a tuna melt, and i really never can keep down white carbs. Protein is also a great source of energy.

i am going to chime in and say that i have some loose skin on my arms and my thighs. i'm still hopeful that enough exercise will tone those areas and i can avoid ps. lately I've noticed that my outer labia are getting smaller/ tighter a completely unexpected NSV. I have to say that overall I'm actually happy with how my vagina looks with weight loss and even better i can look straight down and see it these days :cursing:

I'm tighter when I menstruate, sometimes its hard to eat but as it tapers off I become looser. So maybe you felt a bit of restriction at first b/c of your cycle and as it begins to end you no longer have that extra tightness. Some female bandsters avoid doing fills during their period for that reason. If your still too loose give your doctor a call when you are no longer snowed in good luck :thumbup:

It’s snowing heavily outside so I’m spending some time on lap band talk, yep even the men’s room :ohmy: and came across your post I was in a similar position I dropped 130 lbs in 13 months and was my surgeon’s star lap band patient Basically I allowed myself to become too restricted, which played havoc with my stomach and overall health. I need a complete unfill . I wasn’t able to get another fill for about 8 weeks and it took me months to build up to a sweet spot again. I regained 40 lbs. Keep working out, make better food choices but get back to your doctor asap. Without the proper restriction it’s too easy to fall into old habits. I had been lauded as one of my surgeon’s first patients w/ a large amount of weight to lose who was having success w/ the lap band ( that office is very pro- bypass) so it definitely hurt my pride to show a gain. It was helpful to just be honest. “Dr., I’ve increased my activity level ( jogging and aerobics) trying to combat the gain but I am still able to eat too much and have been making poor food choices.” With the right fill and upping my activity level even more and falling back into good bandster habits I was able to take off the 40 lbs in about 6 months. I was actually in a smaller size at the same weight this time down b/c I was working out so much more instead of primarily counting on restriction and a little walking to help me lose. Take action !! :thumbup:

if it's done in radiology as part of an upper GI then I am numbed, but if it's done in my dr's office I'm not.

Ugggh ! I have a LOT of restriction during my period it's horrid! I've heard plenty of women say that they experience the same. What I've noticed for the last 2 cycles is that I become more restricted when I ovulate. Are you kidding me ?!? This stinks Anyone else experience this ?

The majority of my stuff that I've outgrown was either donated or tossed depending on it's condition. However, there are 3 pieces that I have had altered twice so far. They're exceptionally comfortable, high quality and the silhouette remains flattering on my frame. They were a reward to myself when I lost 75 lbs and even still with an additional 60 lb loss I can still wear them (my tailor is worth his weight in gold). But don't just keep unusable clothing sitting around !!! :biggrin:

It's on the game show network

I really like Carnie Wilson and was excited to see her new show. I had hopes that she would show people that WLS isn't magic and it takes effort to keep the weight off. I am very frustrated however, that she continuously seems to make poor food choices. Who decides to start commercially baking when they have a food addiction? For some reason I care if she's healthy and yes I do realize how judgmental I sound.

I'll PM you Kitten

There's a part of me that wants to get my nipples pierced :w00t: I had my clit hood pierced 18 months ago and after that I still haven't worked up the nerve to get my nipples pierced. Soon ...maybe

For me an overnight stay was required.
