  1. I had my surgery 3 yrs. ago and still belch. My gallbladder was removed due to belching and nothing,I still do! Bella.
  2. Banded Nov 2007 and still burping. Gallbladder taken out and still burping..:thumbup:
  3. You look great and it looks like you were never overweight.... I also wanna be size 8 by the end of the year. :thumbup:
  4. I lost 71 lbs. in almost 2 years. You can do it! I even eat ice-cream sometimes. I do have a lot of restriction,I wouldn't mind keeping this restriction for the rest of my life... You can do it!:thumbdown:
  5. Same here; I've had to clean my closet several times. Went from a 20 to a 12. I have bought pants at Macy's. Always from the Clearance rack. I also have bought size 10 pants,but don't have them in the closet,because they don't fit yet... I had to give away 20 pairs of shoes,because I went down a size.. It is unbelievable how this has happened,but we can do it!!! Can't wait to be an 8!:thumbup:
  6. I had surgery in November,2007 and I weighed 242 and I'm 5.1 1/2" Now I weigh 174 lbs. I still have more to go,but I think that anything over 200 lbs. is obese. We're not dying,but we can get sick in the future....
  7. I was dizzy and almost had a panic attack, and guess what didn't feel much and it was nothing to worry about.
  8. Hi, I pb'd a couple of times,but still managed to lose 1 lb.
  9. Hello! I take Lexapro without any problems. Just don't take it after eating. Bella.
  10. Thanks for that website! All the yummy desserts...I'm gonna try marzipan!
  11. I always throw up for 2 weeks after a fill, after that a couple of times a week.So your normal.
  12. Tell your doctor the truth,he'll understand. This happens all the time and during this time of year it's hard to lose weight,the economy,your separation... It's a lot! Start again, we all go through this.
  13. Hi, I used to have the same recurring dream and it would always be when I was really following my diet, not when I was cheating or wanted to cheat. I had this dream when I used to diet pre- band and during this journey.
  14. I have 7 fills. Everybody is different, but maybe it's time for another fill. I'm making funny noices when I swallow. I tutor some kids and they stare at me and ask me why I'm making funny noises ha! ha! The stares I get at restaurants and at confeences when I'm eating so slowly.
  15. Hi, I am burping a lot after my 7th fill today. No gas pain, though. The fill hurt a lot,the needle was just hurting my skin.
